  12. Key Outcomes (Examples) • Enforcement Challenges & Possible Solutions Challenge: Retailer phone tree - Possible solution: Wait 15 minutes to an hour before going back into the store to issue citation Challenge: Perception that tobacco retailer licensing fees are hard on retailers - Possible solution: Offer counter argument that hard economic times is not impacting tobacco sales; retailers are making large profits!

  13. Key Outcomes (Examples) • Enforcement Challenges & Possible Solutions Challenge: Black market products • Possible solution: Work closely with BOE Challenge: Unpredictable youth decoys • Possible solution: Arrange transportation for youth decoys For more Roundtable outcomes, visit http://www.tcsstore.org/appendix/updated.html

  14. Key Outcomes (Examples) • Administrative Successes • Lay out the business practices of your licensing program and have the relevant forms in place before you start your enforcement activities. • Set up streamlined procedures to increase the efficiency of your program, e.g., see if retailer notices can be consolidated. • Have a point person within a jurisdiction to coordinate interagency communication.

  15. Key Outcomes (Examples) • Administrative Challenges & Possible Solutions Challenge: Procedural inefficiencies • Possible solution: Streamline retailer notifications Challenge: Inaccurate list of retailers • Possible solution: Obtain list of retailers from BOE and cross-check with your list; also seek input from community volunteers to help keep list accurate For more Roundtable outcomes, visit http://www.tcsstore.org/appendix/updated.html
