MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JUNE 239 2021 companies bid so that the city can get the lowest rate for care so residents don't have to do the work of Biding a compaiy and the best rate themselves. The Parks & Rec/Community Services Manager stated that many cities are putting a significant amount of money towards dealing with EAB, and Little Canada is a little behind in dealing with this. McGraw stated that the city should determine which trees are critical and move forward with some sort of treatment on those first. McGraw asked where the money would come from to deal with this now. The City Administrator stated that the city's fund balance is very healthy right now, and there is a Shade Tree line item in the General Fund which is only at $6,000 per year right now and will need to be increased going forward and it will likely affect the levy. He stated that there may need to be two budgets, one for treatment and one for tree removal and replacement. McGraw asked if the Council had any interest in simply removing and replacing trees instead of doing any treatment. The Council unanimously agreed to do EAB treatment where it makes sense and try to save trees, rather than only removing trees. McGraw introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOL UTION NO. 2021-6-83 — A UTHORIZE SPENDING UP TO $6.9000 ON THE TREATMENT OF THE TREES THAT HA VE BEEN DEEMED TREATABLE The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Miller. Ayes (5). Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. TEMPORARY 1-DAY CONSUMPTION & DISPLAY LIQUOR PERMIT FOR ST.

All application materials have been submitted. She explained that they will only be serving liquor, not selling it during this event, so they need a temporary "consumption & display" permit rather than a typical temporary liquor license, which allows for the sale of liquor. Keis introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOL UTION NO. 2021-6-84 — APPROVE A 1 DAY CONSUMPTION & DISPLAY LIQUOR PERMIT ON JULY 2112021 FOR ST.
