REVIEW REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS
The following items were discussed.
Liquor Compliance Hearing — The council will consider imposing a penalty upon
Jason's Bobby & Steve's Auto World for a violation of the city's liquor/beer regulations.
When a council member posed the question about why the recommended fine for a first
violation is $1,000, Police Chief Pecchia explained that the city has adopted a best
practices grid that guides penalties according to area standards and practices. This fine
may seem high for a first violation but he explained that an off -sale violation carries a
more serious penalty because there is more susceptibility to underage buying.
The business owner, Mr. Jason Snyder, was present and was advised that he would have
an opportunity to address the council on the matter at the liquor compliance hearing that
will immediately following this work session.
Item 6B — Extension of Time to Complete Review and Amendment of Local
Comprehensive Plan — Community Development Director Grochala explained that, as
the council was previously informed, the city is allowed to request an extension from the
Metropolitan Council that will allow a later submission (up to May 29, 2009) of the city's
Comprehensive Plan (the Plan). The city still needs to complete the jurisdictional review
and that is unlikely to be completed by December 31, 2008, the current deadline for
submission of the Plan. Therefore, staff is requesting that council authorize that an
extension request be submitted.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:05 p.m.
