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, 2015.
Issue:
Should renewal of the tobacco licenses be approved?
Proposal Details:
The following businesses have applied for renewal of tobacco products sales licenses:
Scandia Olde Towne Liquor
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. Upon completion of the requested
investigations, the Sherriff's office found no reasons not to renew the licenses for these
businesses.
Options:
1) Approve the renewal of tobacco sales licenses for the following businesses:
Scandia Olde Towne Liquor
Todd's Home Center
2) Delay action on the tobacco license renewals.
3) Do not approve the tobacco license renewals.
Recommendation:
Option 1.
