“Those who sold to the minor face a minimum fine of $250, and/or 24 to 32 hours of community service for a first violation,” explains Susanville Chief of Police Ryan Cochran.

“In addition, ABC will take administrative action against the alcoholic beverage license of the business. That may include a fine, a suspension of the license, or the permanent revocation of the license.”

Cochran and the Susanville Police Department thanked the decoys who volunteered their time for the operation, and the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.

“The tax measure will be accompanied by an advisory measure that will provide advice to the Susanville City Council regarding how to spend the tax revenue if the ballot measure passes.”

“Seventy-six percent of the city’s general fund is currently spent on police and fire services, which are essential to our community’s safety and economic prosperity, therefore if additional revenues cannot be identified the city will be facing some tough decisions regarding the need to reduce police and fire services and personnel.”

A local sales tax measure, according to city officials, is the quickest way to solve the city’s revenue problems.
