CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION September 2, 2014 <br />APPROVED <br />46 2. Taproom Sunday Sales - City Clerk Bartell explained that the State Legislature <br />47 changed liquor regulations this past session to allow brewery taprooms to remain open on <br />48 Sunday with local approval. The City has one taproom, Hammerheart Brewery, and they <br />49 have come forward requesting permission to sell on Sundays. In order to allow such a <br />50 change in the city, an ordinance amending the city's liquor regulations in the City Code <br />51 would be required. <br />52 <br />53 The council discussed the success of the local brewery, how the state regulates sales <br />54 hours, the selling of food at the taproom and asked if staff is aware of any concerns <br />55 relative to a license extension such as this. Public Safety Director Swenson said he <br />56 wouldn't have any special concern about this change; the hours and days would be <br />57 consistent with the other licensed establishments in the city. City Clerk Bartell noted <br />58 that her research didn't indicate other cities having concern about this type of change to <br />59 their liquor code. <br />60 <br />61 Staff will prepare an appropriate ordinance amendment for first reading at the next <br />62 regular council meeting. <br />63 <br />64 3. 2015 Budget Discussion — Finance Director Rolek distributed his most recent <br />65 information on the city's 2015 budget discussions /gap analysis. He reviewed updated <br />66 information in the area of the fire department and health insurance costs. The council <br />67 discussion included: <br />68 - The mayor is comfortable with including the estimated start -up costs for the fire <br />69 department but he wants to drill down on everything else; <br />70 - Revenue from the former ECFE site in the city complex be shown as revenue even if it's <br />71 dedicated for facility management; <br />72 - Cellular lease revenue and previous discussion about selling leasing rights; <br />73 - The current level of the city's fund reserves; <br />74 - A full accounting of the city's revenue is requested; <br />75 - North Metro Telecommunications funding; where will those funds available for <br />76 technical upgrades be recognized; <br />77 - Water and sewer infrastructure and depreciation was reviewed. <br />78 <br />79 Public Safety Director Swenson was asked to give an update on public safety personnel. <br />80 He distributed and reviewed information on the average cost per call for medical /rescue <br />81 for the Centennial Fire District in 2012 and 2013. He also discussed the duty officer <br />82 model and the engagement of city personnel for firefighting duties that is possible for the <br />83 Lino Lakes Public Safety Department. When the mayor asked if there would be an option <br />84 to have new personnel go on calls soon, the Police Chief said that would be positive for <br />85 trained personnel. Training would occur as soon as possible and, in the case of police <br />86 personnel that chose to participate, he promises there would be no reduction in police <br />87 coverage as a result. The hiring of new personnel will take some time but they should be <br />88 hired, trained and in place by January of 2016. <br />89 <br />2 <br />
