COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 24, 1998 Council Member Bergeson asked what the significance of the dates are. Mr. Pecchia explained the City must have a maximum budget filed at Anoka County by September 15, 1998. November 20, 1998, is a date established as the deadline for Council to make changes before the December, 1998, hearings. This will allow sufficient time for staff to incorporate any changes they may have. Council Member Bergeson suggested Council set a specific time aside to discuss and deal with any changes in the budget before the budget must be submitted. Council Member Bergeson moved to adopt Resolution No. 98 - 142, as presented with the condition that a specific time be set aside for Council to review any necessary changes. Council Member Lyden seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Resolution No. 98 - 142 can be found at the end of these minutes. Consideration of Resolution No. 98 - 143, Certifying the Proposed 1998 Tax Levy, Collectable in 1999, David Pecchia - Mr. Pecchia stated that Truth in Taxation requires the City of Lino Lakes to adopt a proposed 1998 tax levy on or before September 15th of each year. The proposed levy may be decreased when the final levy is adopted on December 14, 1998. The final levy can not be more than the proposed levy. The total levy includes dollars for the general operating budget as well as dollars for general bonded debt. The levy will be further reviewed by the City Council and staff between September 15, 1998, and November 20, 1998, for changes if necessary. Council Member Lyden moved to adopt Resolution No. 98 - 143, as presented. Council Member Dahl seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Resolution No. 98 - 143 can be found at the end of these minutes. ATTORNEY'S REPORT, BILL HAWKINS Consideration of Emergency Ordinance No. 11 - 98, Placing a Moratorium on the Issuance of Liquor Licenses within Any Zoning District of the City of Lino Lakes - Mr. Hawkins stated the City of Lino Lakes is restricted as to the number of liquor licenses that it can issue. The restriction is found in State Statute 340A.413, (4). The restriction is based on the population of the City at the previous federal census which was in 1990. There were 8,807 people living in Lino Lakes at that time. All of this means that the City is limited to six (6) on -sale liquor licenses until the next federal census. The City has already issued three (3) on -sale licenses (49 Club, Miller's on Main, and Shirley Kaye's). Therefore, the City can issue only three (3) more licenses. There has been a number of inquiries about issuing additional on -sale licenses. Since the City would like the opportunity to regular the location of these licenses, a moratorium ordinance has been proposed to allow time to prepare ordinances addressing the location of on -sale liquor licenses. 14
