1 1 I Council Meeting Minutes October 22, 1991 Page 3 Council Business. continued license fees should reflect averages based on the Association of Minnesota Municipalities Fee Survey. State Statutes and City Code should also provide direction. City Attorney Charlie LeFevere asked if the esc recommends adoption of the State maximum fee structure. Hartlaub said the fee structure should be in compliance with State Statutes, however, the CSC does not recommend adoption of the maximum fees. There is no change to hours of operation or location. Age limitations would reference statutes. The CSC suggests the code be rewritten to specify ages. Charitable gambling will reference the relevant State Statutes. Rebelein feels the continued referencing throughout the ordinance to State Statutes becomes cumbersome. Hartlaub said the subcommittee felt that referencing State Statutes requirements was the most appropriate. Noise from inside or outside associated with on-sale liquor establishments should reference Ordinance 578 "Parties and Gatherings". The subcommittee found "Conduct" a challenge. The City of Roseville possesses the only ordinance which covers the topic in the most adequate way and the CSC recommends adoption of a similar ordinance. Rebelein requested a copy of the Roseville ordinance. Council thanked the CSC for its efforts. Motion by Benke, seconded by Gunderman, to ACCEPT THE CITIZEN STUDY COMMITTEE'S AMENDMENT RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE NEW BRIGHTON LIQUOR ORDINANCE: REQUEST STAFF PREPARE DRAFT AMENDMENTS FOR REVIEW WITH THE CSC; AND FORWARD RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY ATTORNEY FOR INCLUSION IN AN AMENDED LIQUOR ORDINANCE. 5 Ayes ~ 0 Nayes, Motion Carried. City Sanitarian David Fridgen presented the joint powers recycling agreement with Ramsey County and New Brighton; and the recycling contract between the City and E-Z Recycling. As of January 1992, the County will no longer fund the City's recycling program. The joint powers agreement provides the City a means for funding in cooperation with the County. As property taxes are collected, the County will send the City the appropriate monies. The 1992 recycling service charge has increased from 1991 and will be $15.40 per single household. The increase reflects: a decrease in County funding, loss of service to apartments, higher contract price, increased tonnage, and the addition of plastic recycling. The plastic items accepted will be containers with a neck. Council Business CSC Recommendations Liquor Ordinance Report 91-226 1992 Recycling Agreement Report 91-227
