MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />December 27, 1989 <br />RESOLUTION NO. 89-12-622 - APPROVING THE AMENDMENT TO <br />PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT TO DIVIDE PROPERTY LOCATED AT <br />87 EAST COUNTY ROAD B INTO TWO LOTS AS REQUESTED BY TWO <br />S PROPERTIES SUBJECT TO RESEARCH BY CITY STAFF TO <br />DETERMINE IF THE PARK CHARGE HAS BEEN PAID, AND SUBJECT <br />TO THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE CITY PLANNER IN HIS <br />REPORT DATED DECEMBER 12, 1989 <br />The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Fahey. <br />Ayes (5) Blesener, Fahey, Scalze, Collova, LaValle. <br />Nays (0). <br />Resolution declared adopted. <br />Fahey asked the City Attorney to research the issue of <br />the Naegele billboard to determine if the City has the <br />authority to require its removal. Fahey asked for a <br />report at the January 10th Council meeting. <br />RECESS At this point in the meeting, 9:35 P.M., Council took a <br />short recess. The meeting was reconvened at 9:44 P.M. <br />FALSE ALARM Fahey reviewed the City Administrator's report dated <br />FEES December 21, 1989 comparing the City's false alarm fees <br />with that of other cities. Fahey noted the <br />Administrator's findings that the City's fees were high <br />compared with other cities', and his recommendation for <br />no charge for 1 to 3 false alarms, a$50.00 charge for <br />4 to 6 false alarms and a$150.00 charge for false <br />alarms in excess of 6. <br />The owner of Curly~s TV appeared before the Council <br />outlining the problems he has had with his alarm <br />system, pointing out that the more sophisticated the <br />system, the more likely a false alarm. Curly's TV felt <br />it unfair to penalize a business for something that is <br />beyond its control. <br />Fahey pointed out that one-third of the cost of police <br />protection is based on the number of incidents in the <br />City, and false alarms are incidents. Little Canada <br />has the highest number of incidents compared with the <br />other cities who contract for police protection with <br />the Ramsey County Sheriff's Department. <br />The Council was asked if an alarm caused by an <br />electrical storm was considered a false alarm. <br />Hanson reported that under the Ordinance alarms caused <br />by climatic conditions are not considered false alarms. <br />Page 20 <br />
