3. H. Agreement with Crisis Communications Consultant
Prepared By
Cheryl Weiler, Communications Manager
Summary
At the April 13 Council/Manager meeting, staff presented a four-step proposal for implementing
an updated crisis communications plan that meets the needs and expectations of today’s
community stakeholders. The proposal included development of a more thorough plan, improved
staff training, and on-call support from seasoned crisis communicators.
City Council directed staff to submit a proposal for an amount not to exceed $20,000. A budget
adjustment reflecting this amount was approved by the City Council May 2, 2017.
After researching similar efforts by neighboring cities and talking with firms that provide crisis
communications services, staff determined the best fit to be Padilla.

PADILLA
SUBJECT:
Crisis/Critical Issues Preparedness for the City of
Golden Valley
Cheryl,
Thank you for the wonderful opportunity to discuss the possibility of
Padilla working with Golden Valley on matters related to crisis and critical
issues.
Following is a summary of the scope of services we recommend, based
on our discussion. Please review, and then let me know of you have
questions.
Scope of Work
Padilla is excited to assist your team with the development process,
protocols, materials and training associated with preparing the city to
successfully manage crisis and critical issues it may face.
Recommended projects include:
Training
The goal of this training is to prepare potential spokespeople/front line
staff to respond to media and public questions in a crisis situation. These
interviews are much unlike traditional positive interviews and specific
skillsets need to be established.
Training includes:
• Understanding the needs of the media and other
audiences during a crisis
• How to control interviews
• How to use your key messages to handle any question
• How to handle Q&A in front of difficult audiences
• Controlling the flow of information during a crisis
Training Budget: $3,500 per half-day session for small group (15 or
fewer)
Crisis Support 24-hour (1-877.PR.ER.911)
Access to our team of seasoned crisis communications responders who
are available 24-hours a day, seven days to week, to manage crisis
response strategy and materials.
a. There is no cost accessing the call-line
b. Crisis support budgets would be determined based on
each crisis issue
Protocols and Systems/Crisis Plan
Define crisis management team, create crisis protocol flow chart of
responsibility, create standby statements and templates, stakeholder
communications materials and process protocol.
This resource serves as an action plan to be used in the midst of a crisis.
The crisis plan will included detailed response materials regarding top
potential issues prioritized from the vulnerability scan. As part of the plan
development process, we will evaluate gaps that may be existing in
current communications channels that will need to be part of a crisis
response (these may include media contact lists, law enforcement contact
lists, media and social media policies, etc.).
Budget: $16,500

2017 Liquor License Renewal -Sushi X Inc.OT GV170E000409
Prepared by: Sgt. Jeff Johnson
Summary:
Sushi X Inc. (“Sushi X”) has applied for a Liquor License renewal for the 2017-2018 license year. Sushi
X is located at 6440 Wayzata Blvd in the City of Golden Valley. A background investigation and
record checks were completed on May 2
nd, 2017 and revealed that false information was provided
by Sushi X on the application and information material to evaluating the application, including
several violations, was omitted.
Under City Code Section 5.02, subdivision 3, “[i]t is unlawful for any applicant to intentionally make
a false statement or omission upon any application form. Any false statement in such application, or
any willful omission to state any information called for on such application form shall, upon
discovery of such falsehood, work an automatic refusal of license.”
Sushi X’s application contained the following false statements and omissions:
1.Question 1 of Section 3 of the Alcoholic Beverage License Application Part II asks: “Have you,
your spouse, [or] person with whom you currently reside. . . ever operated or been an
employee of a hotel, restaurant, café, tavern, bar or other business which served 3.2 percent
malt liquor, wine or intoxicating liquor?” The applicant answered “no.” This answer was
false.
Ms. Zheng indicated in Section 1 of Part II of the application that she was previously
employed at Super World Buffet located at 15050 Cedar Avenue, Apple Valley, Minnesota.
Super World serves 3.2 percent malt liquor, wine and/or intoxicating liquor and holds a
liquor license issued by the City of Apple Valley. Additionally, the background check showed
that Ms. Zheng currently resides with Mr. Ai Cai Li, who is the former owner of Sushi X and
the current owner of Super World Buffet, a.k.a. Li Inc. In addition to owning and running
Super World Buffet, Mr. Ai Cai Li is currently involved in the daily operation of Sushi X.
2.Question 4 of Section 2 of the Alcoholic Beverage License Application Part II asks: “Have you,
your spouse, [or] person with whom you currently reside. . . ever been convicted of a willful
violation of federal, state, or local law governing the manufacture, sale distribution, or
possession for sale or distribution of intoxicating liquor, wine, or 3.2 percent malt liquor.”
Similarly, question 6 of the same Section asks: “Have you, your spouse, [or] person with
whom you currently reside. . . ever been convicted of any felony, crime, or violation of any
ordinance, other than traffic?” Ms. Zheng answered “no” to both of these questions. These
answers were false.
Ms. Zheng resides with Mr. Ai Cai Li and has resided with him since 2013. On September 7,
2016, Sushi X, under the ownership of Mr. Ai Cai Li, was subject to sanction by the City for
selling alcohol to a person under the age of 21 in violation of Minnesota Statutes section
340A.404 and City Code Chapter 5. Under a Notice of Waiver and Acceptance of Penalty, Mr.
Ai Cai Li agreed to a one-day suspension of the license. On September 26, 2016, Sushi X
failed a suspension compliance test. The City issued an administrative citation under City
Code Section 5.02, subd. 5(F)(1)(b). Mr. Ai Cai Li voluntarily surrendered the liquor license to
avoid mandatory revocation.
3. Section 3 of the Alcoholic Beverage License Application Renewal requires the Applicant to
provide personal information “for each general manager, food/beverage manager,
managing partner, individual in control of the licensed premises, person or entity with
controlling interest in the applicant, and any person/entity who has (directly or indirectly) an
ownership interest in applicant in excess of 5%.” In response to this Section, Ms. Zheng
listed only herself. This constituted a willful omission of the personal information of other
responsible parties, including Mr. Ai Cai Li.
Mr. Ai Cai Li is in control of the licensed premises, involved in its daily operations and may
also be a manager or owner of the business.
Property maintenance specialist/Firefighter Dave Gustafson from the City of Golden Valley
Fire Department has been speaking with Mr. Ai Cai Li on a regular basis about property
maintenance issues with the building as recently as the May 4, 2017. Additionally, on
January 5
th, 2017, Hennepin County Sheriff’s Deputies and other West Metro Drug Task Force
members executed a search warrant at Sushi X. Mr. Ai Cai Li called detectives as a
representative of the business to ask what was occurring at the premises. This clearly shows
that Mr. Ai Cai Li is in control of Sushi X’s premises.
Recommended Action:
Under City Code Section 5.03, “[t]he City may refuse to renew the license of a person who is
disqualified under any other section of the City Code.” Furthermore, [t]he Council may, in its sole
discretion and for any reasonable cause, refuse to grant any application.” City Code, Section 5.02,
Subdivision 5.E. Based on the above findings, the Golden Valley Police Department recommends
denial of Sushi X’s application.
