Staff explained that the payment is for a 22 laptop computer and it was made to U.S. Bank as it was charged on the city's credit card 23 (through that bank). The computer is for the Police Department. 24 Item 3A),First reading of Ordinance No. 03-10 amending Chapter 701 of the City 25 Code relating to Liquor Licensing—City Clerk Bartell explained that the ordinance 26 would amend the Liquor Code in two ways. First it would remove the requirement for a 27 conditional use permit for outdoor serving areas. This is recommended by the city attorney 28 because there is currently no provision in the zoning code for a conditional use of this type 29 within certain zoning districts and because it is sensible to have all conditional use 30 language within the zoning code. The second amendment is forwarded to the council by 31 the Planning and Zoning Board. The board recently considered some zoning amendments 32 regarding outdoor dining areas and sent forward a recommendation to add language to the 33 Liquor Code that clarifies a licensee's responsibility for order and containment in outdoor 34 areas. 35 Item 6A),Resolution No. 10-16,Approving a Conditional Use Permit to allow fill in 36 the floodplain at the Chomonix Golf Course- City Engineer Studenski explained that 37 golf course owner Anoka County is planning to replace two bridges this winter and, as part 38 of the project,will be mitigating some floodplain and wetland area. The course has 39 wetland bank credits they can utilize to allow this mitigation. Mr. Studenski reviewed the 40 hauling plans for the materials that will be brought in and out of the park. The city code 41 requires a conditional use permit for the fill placement involved in this project. The 42 project should be completed by March 31, 2010. L 43 1
