<br />Item No: 07B <br />Meeting Date: June 11, 2012 <br />Type of Business: CB <br />Administrator Review: ____ <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Desaree Crane, Assistant City Administrator <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7959, a Resolution to Consider a Cigarette and <br />Tobacco License for ABC Liquor located at 2840 Highway 10 <br /> <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />ABC Liquor is requesting a Cigarette and Tobacco Business License. In the past, ABC Liquor <br />did possess a Cigarette and Tobacco License with the City. However, on June 6, 2007, the <br />Minnesota Department of Revenue cited ABC Liquor for violating the Minnesota State Tax <br />Code by possessing five (5) packs of untaxed stamped cigarettes for purchase. Due to the <br />violation, ABC Liquor voluntarily surrendered their Cigarette and Tobacco License. <br /> <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />In accordance with Section 512.05 of the City Code basis for denying this license is the <br />following: <br /> <br />512.05: BASIS FOR DENIAL OF LICENSE: <br /> <br />Subd. 1. Grounds for denying the issuance or renewal of a license under this chapter include <br /> but are not limited to the following: <br /> <br />a. The applicant is under the age of 18 years. <br /> <br />b. The applicant has been convicted within the past five years of any violation of a <br />federal, state, or local law, ordinance provision, or other regulation relating to <br />tobacco, tobacco products, tobacco-related devices, or nicotine or lobelia <br />delivery devices. <br /> <br />c. The applicant has had a license to sell tobacco, tobacco products, tobacco- <br />related devices, or nicotine or lobelia delivery devices revoked within the <br />preceding 12 months of the date of application. <br /> <br />d. The applicant fails to provide any information required on the application, or <br />provides false or misleading information. <br /> <br />e. The applicant is prohibited by federal, state, or other local law, ordinance, or <br />other regulation from holding a license. <br /> <br />Subd. 2. However, except as may otherwise be provided by law, the existence of any <br /> particular ground for denial does not mean that the City must deny the license.
