Roseville Council Briefing: Smashburger, Marriott Must Pay Fine to Renew Liquor Licenses

At its Monday meeting, the Roseville City Council voted to renew the liquor licenses of two businesses that had been cited for violating the city’s training code by serving alcohol to minors.

Smashburger’s license was renewed on the condition that the burger joint pay a $1,000 fine, and Courtyard of Marriott was asked to pay a $2,000 fine.

“I think it’s a substantive violation to not have your people trained, but it’s not something that means we don’t want you working in our town,” council member Tammy Pust said.

Here is a round up of some other items that came up at this week's council meeting:

• The city awarded a contract to the lowest bidder for the $10 million in bonds for a new fire station and a first round of park maintenance and improvement projects. In November, . On Dec. 9, the group filed an appeal, which delayed the signing of the contract with the bonder. Mayor Dan Roe said the appeal will cost the city $263,000 in additional interest to be paid on the bond.
• In a closed executive session, the city conducted an annual performance review of city manager Bill Malinen. Malinen has served as city manager since January 2007.
• The city adopted a resolution to authorize payment of $58,000 for the watermain replacement project at Churchill and Oxford streets.
