MINUTES <br />City Council <br />Jan. 27, 1988 <br />Planning Fahey noted that the Planning Commission is an advisor~y board and <br />Commission once the Council r~eceives the r•ecommendation of the Commission it <br />Concer~ns is fr~ee to accept or~ r~eject that r•ecommendation. <br />(Cont.) <br />The Pl anner• r•epor•ted that ther~e i s 1 egi sl ati on pendi ng that wnul ~i gi ve <br />planning commissions mor•e power~ and mor~e accountability. The legislation <br />states that if a r•ecommendation of a p1anning commission is not <br />accepted, the par~ticular• issue must pass by a 2/3r•d's vote of the <br />City Council, which would mean 4 affir•mative votes of a 5-member~ <br />Council. <br />Fahey commented that if this legislation passes, he feels that <br />planning commissions should then become elected bodies and mor•e <br />accountable to the general public. <br />The Ci ty Attor•ney r~epor~ted that under~ the Ci ty' s pr~esent or•di nance <br />the Planning Commission is an advisor~y body. The only time a matter <br />would need to be r•etur~ned to the Planning Commission is if a final <br />plat wer~e changed substantially fr~om the plat r~eviewed by the Planning <br />Commission. <br />Cur~few Council discussed the City's cur•few or~dinance with the thought of <br />Or~dinance amending it to coincide with Roseville's cur~few or~dinance. <br />(Cont.) <br />The City Attor•ney r•epor~ted that the City's cur•few or~dinance is consistent <br />with those of other• cities, although these or~dinances ar~e not gener•ally <br />enforced. <br />LaValle agr•eed the or•dinance is not gener~ally enfor~ced, but can be if <br />a child is causing a problem. <br />Fahey felt a 10 P.M. cur•few for a 16 or• 17 year~ old was too str~ingent <br />a cur•few and suggested that this be amended to Plidnight. <br />LaValle suggested that the City's cur•few r•emain as is so that it can <br />be used as a tool by law enfor•cement officer•s. <br />Blesener suggested the City Attorney review Roseville's curfew ordinance <br />as well as the City's existing or•dinance and make a r•ecommendation. <br />Fahey felt if the pr•esent or•dinance ser~ves police purposes, it should <br />r•emain as is. <br />The major•ity of the Council agr•eed. <br />Loi ter•i ng Fahey agai n poi nted out that the Ci ty' s 1 oi ter•i ng or~di nance r•efer•s to <br />Or•dinance minor•s under the age of 18. Fahey asked the Council's feelings for• <br />(Cont.) a loiter•ing or•dinance that would apply to adults as well. <br />Council felt the disor~der~ly conduct ordinance was sufficient. <br />Page -9- <br />
