INTRODUCTION
This mem will detail the Tobacco Compliance settlement between the City of Dubuque
and Family Dollar.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Family Dollar has a tobacco license for its establishment at 2031 Central Ave. in the city

tobacco compliance check. An employee sold a nicotine -based chewing tobacco
product, which is governed under Iowa's tobacco laws, to underate youth compliance
monitors.
Family dollar has elected to forego a public hearing and will instead submit to statutory
penalties prescribed by law. Family Dollar has agreed to a $1500 fine for a second
violation and has submitted payment to the Police Department.
CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATION
The City Legal Department and the Police Department have reviewed the agreement
and concur with the requirements.
ACTION REQUESTED
City Manager review, City Council approval, and Mayor Cavanaugh signature of the
attached Acknowledgement/Settlement Agreement.
