NEW BUSINESS
3.a. Liquor Violation – Marko Chouliaris DBA Tops Pizza & Hoagies
City Clerk Hadler gave an overview of the liquor violation at Tops Pizza & Hoagies on May 30,
2017. The owner has requested a hearing to discuss the amount of the civil penalty. She reviewed
the city code requirements for the minimum civil penalty, which for the second violation is $1000.
She noted that the licensee, Markos Chouliaris, was questioning whether the first violation of
December 2014, was appropriate, and therefore this should be his first violation.
City Attorney Tietjen noted that Mr. Chouliaris had waived his right to due process after the
violation in 2014, so the point was now moot.
Mayor Droste invited Mr. Chouliaris to speak. Mr. Chouliaris described his understanding of the
events of 2014, and stated he was not aware of his rights, that the liquor in question was “stolen”
from a private party, and that he was not given answers when he asked about it after the fact.
Mayor Droste invited Chief of Police Scott to discuss the event in question. Chief Scott outlined his
understanding of the events of December 2014. He reviewed the requirements of the city to do
liquor compliance checks.

ROSEMOUNT CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING PROCEEDINGS
AUGUST 7, 2017
Council member Weisensel asked if wristbands have been implemented for private parties. Mr.
Chouliaris stated they were not. The restaurant places a “private party” sign at the doorway of the
party.
City Clerk Hadler noted that it is still the responsibility of the licensee even if it’s a private party.
City Attorney Tietjen concurred.
Council member Weisensel inquired about postponing the second violation and making it
dependent on the occurrence of a third. Ms. Tietjen stated she did not recommend this.
Motion by DeBettignies. Second by Freske.
Motion to approve a resolution imposing civil penalty in the amount of $1000 on Markos
Chouliaris DBA Tops Pizza & Hoagies for a violation of the City’s liquor license regulation.
Ayes: DeBettignies, Droste, Weisensel, Freske
