Therese Skarda, Assistant City Attorney representing the Department of Safety and Inspections (DSI), gave a staff report on the license condition violations related to required security personnel and producing video surveillance within 48 hours. She said the licensee admitted to the violations but requested a public hearing to dispute the penalty. She said the licensee had met with DSI staff and police in May to discuss their security plan. She reviewed previous violations and penalties. She said DSI was recommending a $2000 penalty and 10 day license suspension, as this was the third violation in 18 months. In response to request for clarification by Council President Stark, Ms. Skarda read the condition regarding security personnel. Council President Stark said it was his recollection from the last time that the recommendation had been for a certain number of days for required security, and they had ended up with one less day than recommended. Ms. Skarda said that was correct. She said the requirement was for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. In opposition: Jeffrey O'Brien, attorney representing the licensee, appeared along with licensee Sean Bigaouette. Mr. O'Brien said they weren't contesting the that the violations occurred; he said the violations were all related to the conditions imposed in December. He referred to a letter that had been submitted and said they felt they had taken significant steps to comply with and exceed the conditions. He said they'd met with DSI staff and police to go through specific expectations, and their security plan was approved by police after some changes. He said they had private, licensed bonded security from 9:00 to 1:30 on the required nights, in addition to on-staff security who were there the rest of the nights, which was not required by the license conditions. He said they had hired a night manager, so there was additional staff presence and the bartender was not doubling as the night manager. He said given the expense to modernize the surveillance system and hire new staff suspending the license for 10 days would have a severe adverse economic impact. He said they were willing to pay a fine but were asking that the suspension not be imposed given the efforts they had made to go above and beyond the license conditions. Council President Stark moved to close the public hearing. Yeas - 7 Nays - 0 Council President Stark asked Ms. Skarda about the meeting in May and the level of positive reaction to the issues and problems. Ms. Skarda said DSI had no reason to believe that those items hadn't happened, but as to their effectiveness, she hadn't had any comment from them. Council President Stark said he appreciated the licensee coming down and the efforts to comply. He said the violations were important and significant, and fortunately there hadn't been significant events or problems at the bar recently. He said he would propose imposing the $2000 matrix penalty and imposing the 10-days, with 5 days pending any same or similar violations over the next 18 months. Councilmember Noecker confirmed that if there were same or similars within 18 months there would be the 5 days plus the additional penalty for the new violation. City of Saint Paul Page 14 City Council Minutes - Final July 19, 2017 Councilmember Bostrom spoke in support. Council President Stark made the motion.

Council President Stark said he would express intention to lay the matter over for at least a week, with new public hearing on August 2 if needed. In opposition: Robert Schmidt (430 W.

Legislative Hearing Officer Marcia Moermond gave a staff report on the order to maintain the parking pad. She showed a photograph of the parking surface and an aerial photographs of the property. She said the property owner argued that rental properties were unfairly targeted, and code did not specify that the driveway approach was covered under Chapter 34. Ms. Moermond said she didn't believe that to be the case and had also consulted with the zoning attorney. She recommended granting an extension to October 15 for compliance. In opposition: Property owner Tim Parmer (1083 McLean Avenue) displayed a photograph of the property and said it was not a problem property, and no neighbors complained about tenant or condition of the property. He said other orders were quickly complied with. He said the pavement was deteriorating but the tenant didn't park there and it provided access to the garage. He said he felt it thought threatening criminal citation or revocation was a little over the top for an A or B property. He read from the code, and said he was not looking to expand the existing driveway. He reiterated that his renter didn't park there and had agreed not to. He said there were multiple examples in his neighborhood and he felt every neighborhood set its own standards. He said most code compliance was complaint driven, unless they were under this (Certificate of Occupancy) program. He showed photographs of properties across the alley with cars parked on the grass, and showed photographs of 11 park worker and City vehicles parked on the grass at Mounds Park. He said it should start at the City level and apply to everyone. Mr. Parmer and Ms. Moermond answered questions from Councilmember Prince. Councilmember Prince moved to close the public hearing.
