COUNCIL MINUTES February 11, 2008 APPROVED 047 ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT REPORT, DAN TESCH 48 49 Resolution No. 08-11, providing for a finding of violation of the City liquor code and 50 imposing penalties against Miller's on Main — City Clerk Bartell reported that earlier in the 51 evening, the council held a hearing to review the police department's report and 52 recommendations relative to compliance checks that were conducted on Lino Lakes licensed 53 liquor establishments. 54 55 Miller's on Main was found to have violated the City Liquor Code and a penalty was considered 56 based on the City's adopted Best Practice Grid. 57 58 The council has forwarded a motion that the staff recommendation of a $500 fine to Miller's on 59 Main be instituted. 60 61 Council Member Stoltz moved to approve Resolution No. 08-11 as presented. Council Member 62 Gallup seconded the motion. Motion carried. 63 64 Resolution No. 08-23, Assessing Services Anoka County - Administrator Heitke noted that the 65 county has provided assessing services to the city for many years, covered by a joint powers 66 agreement. The current agreement expires in 2008. The proposed joint powers agreement for 67 the period of 2009 through 2013 would require that the city receive assessment services from 68 Anoka County and that the per parcel assessment fee would be increased. The county has not •69 adjusted the fees since 2002. At first glance it looks like a considerable rate increase, however, 70 considered over the period since 2002, it computes to an annual average increase of 1.33% to 71 2.08%. Staff recommends that the city continue this relationship. 72 73 The council requested additional information that would denote the actual money amount of the 74 increase. 75 76 It was noted by a council member that there may not be many other options for assessment 77 services. There are independent assessment services available but traditionally cities use their 78 county services. 79 80 Council Member Reinert noted that he wouldn't be comfortable voting for this item without the 81 expanded cost analysis. It is appropriate for the council to look at all options and see what 82 makes the most sense for this city. 83 84 Council Member Stoltz moved to approve Resolution No. 08-23 as presented. Council Member 85 Gallup seconded the motion. Motion carried.
