COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 13, 1997 Chief Pecchia indicated the following changes from the first reading of this proposed ordinance: (1) It further defines reportable transactions; (2) a stated billable rate at the time of application is eliminated; and (3) correction of certain typographical errors. Council Member Neal requested definition of "secondhand goods", asking if this ordinance applies to used clothing. Chief Pecchia reviewed that section of the proposed ordinance dealing with secondhand goods dealers, concluding that clothing is not included in that definition. Council Member Bergeson asked about a long-standing local business which specializes in small engines but also deals in used lawnmowers, snowblowers, etc. Chief Pecchia indicated that the business would have to be examined with attention to what portion of its activity is buying and selling as opposed to repair work. Council Member Kuether moved to approve the SECOND READING of Ordinance No. 21 - 97, as presented. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Ordinance No. 21 - 97 can be found at the end of these minutes. Consideration of Centennial School District Agreement, Juvenile Justice Youth Resource Grant - Chief Pecchia explained that the Lino Lakes Police Department and the Centennial School District have completed the necessary documentation to renew the Joint Powers Agreement for the 1997-98 school year. This Agreement was reviewed at an earlier Council work session. Chief Pecchia stated that District officials approved the Youth Resource Officer Agreement at their September 29, 1997 School Board meeting. Chief Pecchia further explained that in conjunction with the Youth Resource Officer Agreement the City received a $20,000 grant from the Innovative Local Law Enforcement and Community Policing Program (ILLECPP) called the Centennial Middle School Liaison Officer Program, effective from October 1, 1997 through September 30, 1998. The combination of this grant and the Centennial School District agreement will enhance the Youth Resource Officer program.
