MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />MARCH 25, 2009 <br />necessary, asking that the City leave the industrial property owners alone. <br />Stanke felt the license has become an issue because of one bad property <br />owner in Ryan Industrial Park. <br />Blesener noted Stanke's request to table action on this ordinance until <br />Apri122"d, and indicated that that is what the Council will do this evening. <br />Stanke again demanded a business list. The Administrator replied that he <br />would provide him with a zoning map. Stanke asked about PUD <br />properties questioning why the ordinance would not apply to these <br />properties. Stanke felt this was a double standard. <br />It was the consensus of the Council to not debate the issue any further <br />given Mr. Stanke's request that action on the ordinance be tabled until the <br />April 22"d Council meeting. <br />Mr. Blesener introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br />RESOL UTION NO. 2009-3-70 -CONTINUING THE PUBLIC <br />HEARING AND TABLING ACTION ON THE PROPOSED <br />OUTDOOR STORAGE LICENSING ORDINANCE UNTIL THE <br />APRIL 22, 2009 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING <br />The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by McGraw. <br />Ayes (5). <br />Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. <br />STREET The City Administrator reviewed his report dated March 20, 2009 <br />SWEEPER relative to the street sweeper to be purchased jointly with the City of <br />Falcon Heights. The Administrator explained in detail that due to the <br />provisions of the State of Minnesota Cooperative Purchasing Venture, <br />MacQueen Equipment cannot provide the initial pricing quoted for the <br />street sweeper, and the cost will be an additional $10,271.93. <br />The Administrator reviewed the options outlined in his letter which <br />include proceeding with the purchase at the additional price, or cancelling <br />the purchase. He noted that the Ramsey/Washington Watershed District <br />will be considering the possibility of providing partial funding for this <br />type of purchase as a demonstration project this fall. The City pursued <br />this option with the Watershed last year and were told that it would not be <br />possible. The Administrator placed the odds at no better than 50/50 that <br />the Watershed will undertake the project in the fall. Another option for <br />delaying the project would be to identify additional partnering <br />relationships, but he was not aware of any options in this regard. <br />11 <br />
