.
November 4,2002 Council Report 2002-177
Approve the transfer of a Tobacco License
For Butch's Market, 520 Blake Rd N
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Approve the transfer of a tobacco
sales license for Todd Treichler from 1619 Mainstreet to 520 Blake Rd N.
Overview
Todd Treichler recently relocated his business from 1619 Mainstreet to 520 Blake Rd N.
Mr. Treichler did not realize that his license was issued to him at a specific location. He
was under the impression that the license was his and could be used at any location.
The moratorium would not allow him to have a new Tobacco Sales license at this time.
He is requesting that the license be transferred. Todd had a license at the previous
. location and the current location (Kenny's) also held a tobacco sales license. The
location is not a new location for tobacco.
Primary Issues to Consider
. Do the ordinances allow a transfer
. What are the implications of allowing the transfer

Do the ordinances allow a transfer?
Both the Tobacco Sales ordinance and the General License ordinances allow the
transfer. They both state, "No license shall be transferred without the consent of the
Council". Effectively, the Council could allow the transfer.
What are the implications of a transfer?
We have not in the memory of current staff allowed a transfer. If the moratorium were
not in effect, staff would not be suggesting a transfer. It should be made clear that the
transfer would only be considered because of the moratorium and to enable the
continuation of Mr. Treichler's business without interruption.
Alternatives
1. Approve the transfer of Mr. Treichler's Tobacco Sales License.
2. Deny the transfer.
3. Continue for further information
Staff recommends alternative one.
