A%IINUTES CITY COUNCIL JULY 14, 2004 search warrant- Anderson also agreed Yhat there should be a level of conformity in ordinances enacted by neighboring cities. Anderson suggested tying the ordinance to the hazardous chemicals statutes rather than the controlled substance statutes feeling that this would better encapsulate the health risk. Anderson also felt that the ordinance should be modified to place the authority for inspection and declaration of nuisances with a professionally trained position relative to this task, rather than the City's Code Enforcement Officer. Fahey agreed that the position responsible for inspection and declaration of nuisances should be modified, and suggested that the ordinance provide for an authorized City representative. Fahey suggested that with regard to law enforcement's authority, that the City err on the side of caution and assume that law enforcement will act responsibly in enforcing this ordinance. Fahey suggested that the City Attorney and City Administrator use the Vadnais Heights' ordinance as a model, and review it and make recommendations for any changes they feel necessary. Fahey suggested that a review of police powers granted under this ordinance be reviewed to determine if they are over expansive and provide a potential for abuse. Fahey asked that a recommendation be brought to a future Council meeting.

TRAIL BIDS The City Administrator reported that the Park Commission expressed concern with the rejecting of trail bids. As a result, a meeting was held with the Commission Chair, Park Consultant, and City Engineer to review the bids. It was determined that components of the bids were overpriced, and removal of these overpriced items and determination of alternative ways to address these bid components, would result in a more reasonable bid package.
