Ayes (5) LaValle, Morelan, Pedersen, Hanson, Scalze. Nays (0). Ordinance declared adopted. Pedersen asked if the City had the same type of ordinance regulating the use of stereo equipment in residences. The City Attorney replied that this would be regulated under State Law as well as the City's nuisance ordinance. There was some discussion by the Council that it appears that the Sheriff~s Department was not enforcing violations of the ordinance with regard to loud stereos or radios in apartments or residential homes. The Council asked the City Attorney to contact the Sheriff~s Department to inform them of options and to request they utilize them to address this type of problem. LICEN5E & The City Attorney submitted proposed ordinances as PERMIT FEES well as a resolution which increase license and permit fees for mechanical, electrical, hauler, and contractors as recommended by City staff. It was suggested that the ordinances be amended in order to give the Council the authority to increase these fees by Council resolution in the future, rather than an ordinance amendment. 20
