515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 <br />(651) 766 -4029 / FAX: (651) 766 -4048 <br />www.ci.little- canada.mn.as <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Fahey & Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator <br />DATE: May 21,2004 <br />RE: Ordinance Declaring Clandestine Drug Lab Sites as a Public Nuisance <br />MAYOR <br />Michael 1. Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Jim LaValle <br />Matt Anderson <br />Rick Montour <br />Bill Blesener <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />Attached is an ordinance recently adopted by the City of Vadnais Heights. This ordinance <br />addresses the growing problem of clandestine drug labs (meth labs) and the concerns regarding <br />the abatement of the hazardous materials generated by these operations. Many cities are <br />adopting ordinances similar to the one attached to give more control and authority in addressing <br />these situations. <br />My purpose in bringing this to the Council is to make you aware of this concern and seek your <br />direction regarding the possibility of adopting a similar ordinance in Little Canada. Staff could <br />provide more sample ordinances for your consideration or you could simply direct the City <br />Attorney to prepare a draft for your consideration at a future meeting. <br />
