He noted that Alber Construction is a qualified, <br />responsible contractor. <br />Council Member Elliott moved to adopt Resolution No. 48 - 93 <br />awarding the bid to Alber Construction, P. O.box 399, Rogers, <br />Minnesota 55374 for $144,311.05. Council Member Bergeson <br />seconded the motion.

The City is growing and so <br />is the dog population and it is becoming more difficult to <br />administer the present City Code requirement. The staff has <br />suggested that a two (2) year dog license be issued to streamline <br />the process. The proposal would not impact revenues but would <br />reduce the number of trips the citizens have to make to get their <br />dog licensed. The proposal would also reduce the amount of paper <br />work required for the annual dog license procedure. <br />Council Member Kuether moved to approve the FIRST READING of <br />Ordinance No. 93 - 14 and dispense with the reading. Council <br />Member Elliott seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. <br />ATTORNEY'S REPORT <br />Clarification of Block Party Requirements - Mr. Hawkins noted <br />that the issue regarding block parties has been discussed at the <br />Council work session and he has been asked to give an opinion <br />regarding the "hold harmless" clause in the block party <br />application.
