Upon the Rock Because both of these issues are of great importance to residents, he suggested that one of the issues be rescheduled to the February 9 Council Meeting. Also, being that Council has requested more information regarding the Silver Lake Road Project, Childs feels this item should be moved to the February 9 meeting.

As vacancies occur and other needs are identified, the Commission City will attempt to utilize the applicants that were not selected. Applicants Williams asked Kelley to review the City's current penalties for tobacco Tobacco Sales Issue sales ordinance violations. Report 93-012 Kelley noted that the tobacco sting operated in New Brighton last year was not conducted by the City, but a private advocacy group. The City was informed of the sting after it had occurred. The number of tobacco sale violations to minors in New Brighton is much lower than the Metro Area average. Kelley said the sale of tobacco to a minor is a gross misdemeanor under Minnesota law and the maximum penalty is a fine up to $3,000 and a year of imprisonment. Under the New Brighton ordinance, it is a misdemeanor which is punishable by a fine up to $700. Also, under the ordinance there is the ability of the revocation of the license upon Council action. The penalty for vending machines provides for immediate revocation of the license. Childs said the City of Shoreview enacted an ordinance which provides for progressive suspension of a tobacco sales license. He suggested that such a progressive stance could be reviewed by the Citizen Study Commission (CSC) for its feasibility. Williams supported referring the issue to the CSC. Kelley said the St. Paul ordinance involves fines which are increased by the number of violations by a licensee.
