The Roseville City Council meeting on May 19, 2025, focused on alcohol compliance checks and the issuance of presumptive penalties for local businesses violating alcohol sale regulations. The meeting featured discussions led by Deputy Police Chief Joe Adams, who reported on the results of compliance checks conducted by the Roseville Police Department.

During the first round of checks on March 29, 2025, four businesses failed to comply with regulations. The council addressed the case of La Casita, which had its second violation within 36 months. The council unanimously approved a $2,000 fine and a five-day liquor license suspension for the establishment. Despite the absence of representatives from La Casita at the meeting, the council emphasized the importance of compliance and the training provided to staff.

The council then moved on to Centro, which also failed a compliance check on the same date. Centro's management acknowledged the violation and expressed commitment to their alcohol compliance training program. The council approved a similar penalty of a $2,000 fine and a one-day liquor license suspension for Centro, marking their first violation in three years.

The discussion then shifted to Xinhua Korean Steakhouse, which also faced a compliance issue. However, it was revealed that the owner of Xinhua also owned Bonchon, which had a prior violation. The council considered the possibility of imposing a higher penalty due to this shared ownership. To ensure due process, the council decided to table the discussion on Xinhua's penalty, allowing the business an opportunity to respond to the potential upward deviation in penalties.

Overall, the meeting underscored the council's commitment to enforcing alcohol regulations and ensuring public safety while providing businesses the opportunity to address compliance issues. The council plans to revisit the case of Xinhua in a future meeting after proper notification is given.
