Re: Tobacco License Renewals
Background:
Ordinance No. 92 regulates the sale and use of tobacco products within the City of Scandia. The
Washington County Sheriff's Department conducts compliance checks and reviews license
applications on behalf of the City. Four businesses in Scandia have annual tobacco products
licenses which expire on December 31, 2013.
Issue:
Should renewal of the tobacco licenses be approved?
Proposal Details:
The following businesses have applied for renewal of tobacco products sales licenses:
• Big Marine Lake Store
• Big Marine Lake Liquor Store
• Scandia Olde Towne Liyuor
• Todd's Home Center
The applications meet all the requirements of Ordinance No. 92 regulating the sale and use of
tobacco products. License fees have been paid. The Sherriffls office found no reasons not to
renew the licenses for Scandia Olde Towne Liquor and Todd's Home Center. The Sheriff's
Department has been asked to complete the reyuired investigations of Big Marine Lake Store and
Big Marine Lake Liquor Store, but a report is not yet available.

• Big Marine Lake Liquor Store
• Scandia Olde Towne Liquor
• Todd's Home Center
2) Delay action on the tobacco license renewals.
