This system of <br />selecting retailers will provide an efficient means of covering all areas in a <br />methodical manner. <br />F. Once the list has been generated and the locations to be visited confirmed, <br />investigators will contact the youth operative, coordinate their respective <br />schedules, and conduct the investigations. <br />G. The compliance check investigations will be conducted according to a schedule <br />developed by the investigator. The investigator will pick up the youth operative <br />and proceed from one location to the next following the plan. Youth operatives <br />will not be used in areas where they live or normally shop. During the <br />investigation, the youth operative will attempt to buy tobacco products from the <br />retailer. ]f a purchase is made, the tobacco product and any other evidence will be <br />marked and secured. The investigator will then return the youth to his/her home, <br />complete the investigative reports, review and store electronic evidence as <br />required and return to the violative retailers to present them with a Notification of <br />Violation form within 48 hours of the sale of tobacco to the minor. All reports and <br />evidence remain in the custody of the investigator. <br />H. As part of the compliance check investigation, the investigator will note and <br />document whether or not the tobacco retailer has a permit posted in accordance <br />with the City's Tobacco Retail License Ordinance Number 2729. Observations on <br />compliance with these ordinances will be documented on a report form and <br />photographic evidence as well as other evidence obtained will be provided to the <br />City in accordance with paragraph I below. <br />I. CDPH will provide the City with two monthly reports on compliance check <br />outcomes. One will contain information on cases that have been closed via <br />payment of a penalty assessment. The other will contain information on currently <br />pending cases. The reports will be drawn from data which is entered directly into <br />the STAKE database by the investigators and includes the following fields: case <br />number, firm number, firm name, street address including zip code, telephone <br />number (if available), store type, investigation date and time, notification date and <br />time, the names and badge numbers of investigators, information about the selling <br />clerk, name of the person presented with the Notification of Violation form, the <br />name and address of the store owner, the agent for service in case of corporate <br />ownership, the type and cost of tobacco purchased, evidence numbers, prior sales <br />history, a narrative section stating the details of the case, the council district in <br />which the violation occurred and other miscellaneous information. In addition to <br />the standard report, CDPH will provide the City with information regarding the <br />posting of the required License by the Tobacco Retail License Ordinance. <br />The investigative reports, and any evidence obtained, including photographic <br />evidence, documenting violation of the City ordinances, shall be made available <br />8 <br />
