First Reading of Ordinance 846, an Ordinance Amending Section 512.08 of 18 the City Code about the Suspension or Revocation of a Cigarette or Tobacco 19 License. 20 21 Assistant City Administrator Crane stated the Ramsey County Tobacco Coalition reviewed The 22 City Code pertaining to Suspension/Revocation of the Cigarette/Tobacco Business License. The 23 Ramsey County Tobacco Coalition strongly recommends that the City use the word 24 "consecutive" in their day’s requirements for a suspension of the license. It eliminates confusion 25 and clarifies what the state law and the City Code intends to do. 26 27 Assistant City Administrator Crane noted in Staff’s professional opinion, the recommended 28 language would clarify the suspension process, and would not change the intent. Staff 29 recommends approval of the first reading and introduction of Ordinance 846. The Second 30 Reading of this Ordinance is scheduled for the July 26, 2010, City Council Meeting. 31 32 MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Stigney.
