10. REPORTS
A. Karkoc Ramsey County Petition regarding a parcel adjacent to Walsh
Lalze. The City Administrator reported that within the last week the City and four
Pleasant Street property owners north of Roselawn Avenue were served with a
court petition from the Karkoc's regarding Pleasant Street road access. It is the
City Attorney's preliminary opinion that the Karkoc's are possibly attempting to
prove that there is an established street serving their property. The City Attorney
is still conducting research on this issue and awaiting the delivery of documents
by the County, but it appears that the Karkoc's are attempting to persuade the
Title Examiner to recognize that Pleasant Street serves his and the other four
properties based on survey work that they have done. The Administrator stated
that from all indications, it is clear that Pleasant Street does serve the other
properties but city maps and records indicate that Pleasant Street never touched
nor served the Karkoc parcel. A hearing for this issue was scheduled for
Wednesday, October 15, but it has been continued until Wednesday, October 29
as a result of concerns brought by both the City and the adjacent property owners.
The Administrator stated there are other issues related to the development of this
lot that involves zoning and shoreline setback regulations. The shoreline setback
regulations of the City will be discussed in work session.
The Mayor stated that he had read through the background on this issue and had
concerns with the Rice Creek Watershed District's handling of this issue. The
past record on this lot, which dates back more than a decade, has indicated that
the City does not view this parcel as a buildable lot under its current conditions.
The District granting a permit, even with conditions, appears to put the City and
the District at odds.
Lauderdale City Council
Meeting Minutes, October 14, 2003
Page 3
The approved 1997 Lauderdale Comprehensive Plan, which was developed by a
resident task force, has the objective of eventually acquiring this parcel for park or
open space purposes.
The City Administrator stated the Watershed District takes the position that they
only address water quality issues with permit applications. The other issues are
city or state concerns. It was then stated that an update would be brought to the
Council once the hearing is conducted and more information is known. .
11. ACTION
A. Consideration of Quotations for the Sale of the Lift Station Generators.
The City Administrator stated that due to the removal of the final two lift stations;
the City has excess equipment (generators) to sell. The City placed an
advertisement for two generators and pumps for sale in various trade magazines
and the League of MN Cities Bulletin.
The City of Ashby quoted the City $6,100 for one of the generators (6 cylinder).
A second quotation that the City received requested the two generators and pumps
for a total of $6,000 — they would not separate the items. A third bid was
submitted for the two for $2,500 (6 cylinder) and $2,200 (4 cylinder).
The city staff recommendation is to accept the highest quotation from the City of
Ashby in the amount of $6,100.00 for the 6 -cylinder generator and to reject the
other quotations that were received. The City can re -advertise for the sale of the
remaining generator.
Motion by Giannetti, second by Christensen to accept the quotation from the City
of Ashby in the amount of $6,100.00 for the 6 -cylinder generator and to reject the
other quotations. Roll: Yes: all. Motion carried.
B. Reschedule the November 11, 2003 City Council meeting as a result of
Veteran's Day Holiday. The City Administrator stated that the preferred date for
the meeting would be Wednesday, November 12, 2003. The Mayor requested
that the start time be moved ahead one hour to 8:00 p.m.
Motion by Christensen, second by McCloskey to approve the City Council regular
meeting date change from November 11, 2003 to November 12, 2003 and to place
the start time of the meeting at 8:00 p.m. Roll: Yes: all. Motion carried.

City Council, along with their concerns about the development of the vacant
Karkoc lot.
B. Parking Ordinance. The City Council reviewed the parking ordinance
section that relates to the parking of recreation vehicles, boats, etc. on the street

The above table gives an overall picture of the City's finances compared to last year. At this
point, revenues and expenditures are both above budget due to the 2003 street and utility
improvement project (Fund 413). As you are aware, the 2003 street and utility project had not
been ordered until after the budget had been approved. Thus, the actual revenues and
expenditures so far this year for Funds 101-601 include about $979,000 in revenues and about
$1,659,000 in expenditures from Fund 413, which the 2003 budget does not reflect.

Revenue for funds 401-409 is from storm sewer fees, water surcharge fees, the 2001 street
assessments and reimbursements. Expenses for funds 401-409 are mostly attributed to a final
bill for Larpenteur Avenue reconstruction ($31,516 engineering and $18,334 water main) and
the new storm water permit requirements ($10,590).
Revenue for Fund 412 is mostly from grant monies and reimbursement from St. Paul Regional
Water for water main improvements. Revenue for Fund 413 is mostly from bond proceeds.
Fund 412 expenditures are $189,670 for street repair and $41,568 for engineering. Fund 413
expenditures were mostly for street repair ($1,356,768) and engineering ($295,247).

CITY OF LAUDERDALE
MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Kevin Walsh, Deputy Clerk
SUBJECT: Civil Penalties for Violation of Liquor Ordinance
DATE: October 28, 2003
BACKGROUND
As directed by the City Council, I have drafted an addition to Title 3, Chapter 2 of the
City Code in reference to liquor violations. This addition specifically relates to
presumptive civil penalties. Currently, the City Code gives the Council sufficient cause
to revoke a license issued for any violation. This supplementary addition (3-2-15) will
create minimum objective penalties for those persons who violate the laws of selling
alcoholic beverages without changing any language in the current code.
Along with the list of civil penalties is a paragraph that reiterates Section 3-2-14—"The
conviction of the licensee, agent, employee, etc. shall be sufficient cause for the City
Council to revoke any license issued. This addition asserts that it will not limit the
authority of the City Council.
Enclosed is the draft ordinance.
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED
Consider revising City Code Title 3 (Business Regulations), Chapter 2 (Liquor Control)
following final review by the City Attorney.
