Police Department <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Joan $chmidt, City Clerk <br /> <br />Jeffrey A. Beahen, Chief of Police <br /> <br />1-29-04 <br /> <br />Alcohol Compliance Checks <br /> <br />On 1-28-2004 our department, in cooperation with Sherbume County Public Health <br />conducted alcohol compliance checks at twenty-one licensed establishments in the City of <br />Elk River. Nineteen of those businesses passed the compliance checks. Two of those <br />businesses actually sold alcohol to minors. Those businesses were: <br /> <br />1) <br /> <br />Cenex <br />13374 Highway 10 (Case #04-002504) <br />30-year old clerk sold alcohol to minor. Did check ID and scanned it but thought <br />drinking age was 18. <br /> <br />2) <br /> <br />Elk Bowl <br />13161 Highway 10 (Case//04-002505) <br />46-year old male sold alcohol to minor-did not check ID. Manager and other <br />employees were sitting at the bar when sale took place. Later commented that <br />they thought the person should have been carded. <br /> <br />Compliance checkers made the comment that although the rest of the establishments <br />passed, that in at least two other businesses, the staff person had to go check with a <br />manager or another employee to determine if the person being carded was old enough to <br />drink. In one business the server thought the legal age was 18, in the other they thought it <br />was 19. <br /> <br />Both employees at the two non-compliance locations were charged with sale to minors. <br />Please contact me if you have questions concerning this process and results. <br /> <br /> <br />
