REVIEW REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS
The following items were discussed.
Consent Agenda — The contract for animal control services (with Otter Lake Animal
Care Center) is being presented for renewal with no changes. The city's Joint Powers
Agreement with Anoka County Joint Law Enforcement Council is being presented by the
Police Chief for renewal; the new agreement includes appropriate updates and
improvements to reflect evolving law enforcement needs.
Item 2A — 1st Reading of Ordinance No. 16-08 adjusting water utility rates — Finance
Director Rolek and Public Services Director DeGardner will review the recommendations
in the council meeting. This will be up for a public hearing. The council received one
written comment (email) from resident John Long in support of the rate adjustments. It
will be received into the record at the council meeting.
Item 6A — Resolution approving a variance from the Ordinary High Water Level to
allow for reconstruction of an accessory structure at 1801 77th St - Planner Bengtson
explained that a variance has been requested by Mr. Ron Marier to allow for
reconstruction at his property; staff determined that the reconfiguration called for in the
reconstruction would not meet shoreland set back requirements. The staff
recommendation for denial was forwarded to the Planning and Zoning Board and the
board voted to approve the variance. The resolution presented to the council represents
staff's recommendation for denial; Mr. Bengtson suggested that if the council wishes to
approve the variance, findings of fact in that regard will be necessary as well as a
different resolution: The council discussed how such findings would be established if, in
fact, the council were to approve the variance.
