LARPENTEUR, (JJ'S POOL ARCADE) APPROVED
The owner of JJ's Pool & Arcade presented a request that the
existing Conditional Use (Resolution R 89-5) be amended to
allow the owners to employ only one person after 7:00 P. M. if
business warrants it and allow the business to stay open until
1:00 A.M. rather than midnight 7 days per week.
Wallin explained that at the Public Hearing on August 2, 1989,
the Planning Commission unanimously recommended that the
business be allowed to remain open until 1:00 A.M. on Friday and
Saturday nights, that the owners be allowed to employ one person
after 7:00 P.M. on Sunday through Thursday evenings, and that a
review be requested after three months.
Following input from the owners Joseph and James Sacco and
discussion by Council, Wallin moved adoption of Resolution
R-89-18 amending Item 1 to allow the business to remain open
until 1:00 A. M. on Saturdays and 1:00 A. M. on Sundays, and to
allow one adult attendant after 7:00 P. M. if business does not
warrant additional employees. A review period will be within 3
months at which time Council will discuss extending the 1:00
A.M. closing to other days of the week. Motion carried
unanimously.
Council requested that owners provide more adequate signage for
the "No Right Turn on Arona" from the back parking lot. Council
also assured the owners that the review to be held in three

DISCUSSION - SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT BUDGET/COST SHARING FORMULA
Council discussed the items as outlined in Commander Bergeron's
memo dated July 31, 1989, and the cost sharing formula prepared
by North Oaks which would result in a cost increase for Falcon
Heights (approximately $2,000). Wiessner informed Council that
she had just learned that Lauderdale is investigating the
possibility of contracting for Policing with Roseville or St.
Paul rather than the Sheriff's Department which would create a
great increase in the Falcon Heights policing cost. Following
the discussion, Wiessner was directed to investigate other
alternatives for Falcon Heights.
PROPOSED CITY ETHICS POLICY DISCUSSED
Carol Carlson presented a proposed Ethics Ordinance for
Council's consideration. Following the review and discussion,
Council asked that the wording be changed in Section 5, relating
to acceptance of gifts and that language be added addressing
candidates accepting gifts from City Employees.
DISCUSSION - CORRECTION OF PROCEDURAL ERRORS RELATING TO
ADOPTION OF ORDINANCES
Wiessner informed Council that a procedural error in adoption of
ordinances has been discussed. Since recodification in 1984 the
City has been operating with the understanding that publication
was necessary only for the zoning code (Chapter 9). Gedde
explained the 3 options to remedy the situation: (1)
publication of amendments in file, (2) publication of summaries,
or (3) recodification. Following a discussion, Staff was
directed to prepare a list of the unpublished ordinances and the
content of each in order that Council may determine which need
immediate attention.
CITY HALL SIDEWALK TO BE REPAIRED
Council considered the bids for repair of the cracked sidewalk,
after which P. Chenoweth moved that the project be awarded to
Midwest Concrete at a price of $3,513.00, with funding from the
Public Works Capital Improvement Fund. Motion carried
unanimously.
