There were some unrelated changes identified 80 in the process of review of these sections.

Other changes include amendments to align the 83 city with state statutes in regard to non -conforming uses and structures and amendments to 84 address the city policy to allow accessory structures to be placed in easements under certain 85 conditions, as well as some non -substantive grammatical errors. The Planning and Zoning Board 86 held a public hearing on the ordinance and then recommended approval. 87 88 Council Member O'Donnell moved to dispense with full reading of the ordinance.

Consider Resolution No. 08-85, Approving Change Order No. 15, Lake Drive/35W 128 Improvement Project 129 130 City Engineer Studenski reported that the contract to Lunda Construction Company for the Lake 131 Drive/I35W Improvement Project included installation of certain street light poles. Relocated 132 power lines make a height change necessary for the light poles. The change order before the 133 council provides for a change of $10,000 to allow the purchase of the correct size poles from 134 Anoka County; staff will attempt to sell the larger poles (no longer needed) to the county in 135 return. Approval of the change order is recommended by staff. 136 137 A council member questioned why the wrong size poles were ordered; there seems to be a lot of 138 change orders with the project and that represents mistakes that cost more money to the project. 139 140 Council Member Stoltz moved to approve Resolution No. 08-85, as presented. Council Member 141 O'Donnell seconded the motion. Motion carried on a voice vote; Council Member Reinert 142 recorded as voting "no". 143 UNFINISHED BUSINESS 044 There was no unfinished business. 145 NEW BUSINESS 146 There was no new business. 147 ADJOURNMENT 148 149 150 151 152 153 154 155 156 157 158 159 Council Member Stoltz moved to adjourn at 7:55 p.m., to a special council work session for the purposes of interviewing a law firm and discussion of legal services, and discussion related to election information and public communications.
