P ublic Hearings
A. Annual Stoimwater Pollution Pievention Plan Public Hearing
Annually, the City must report on its storm water efforts as one of the requirements of our
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit. A copy of the 2021 annual report
submitted to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) was in the packet.
Mayor Pro Tem Moffatt opened the floor for public comment on our storm water program at
7A0 p.m. There being no one interested in speaking, Moffatt closed the floor at 7:11 p.m.
Discussion/Action Item
A. Draft Administrative Citation Ordinance
B . Draft Public Safety Repeat Nuisance Call Service Fees Ordinance
B utkowski explained that staff worked with the City attorney on two draft ordinances. The first
ordinance was related to administrative citations. This alternative to the criminal court system
would address some code violations such as rank growth, debris, zoning issues, and pet
licensing. The second ordinance would fine property owners for overuse or misuse of public
safety services. She said in practice, these two ordinances would work together to address
problem properties. Often the pioperties that fail to mow their yard or keep pets secured also
generate excessive police calls foi conduct issues on the property.
If adopted, the City Council must set fines for the administrative citations. Staff provided
examples fiom Roseville and Cambridge foi comparison purposes. The City Council discussed
the drafts and recommended changes. The drafts will be discussed again at the next meeting
with staff from the City's building official staff.
Set Agenda for Next Meeting
Butkowski said the July 26 council meeting may include the June financial report, an
administrative citation ordinance, a public safety repeat nuisance call service fees ordinance, and
the 2023 general fund budget.

A. Community Development Update
B utkowski shared that the school closing took place last week. The asbestos abatement will
begin soon. Demolition on the site is set to start August 8 Butkowski continued to say that City
staff would be training election fudges in per son at City Hall.

Admin Citation Ordinances
APPROVED BY ADMINISTRATOR
DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE AND PAST COUNCIL ACTION:
During the previous meeting, the Council started discussing drafts of an administrative cita-
tion ordinance and public safety nuisance fee ordinance. The purpose of the ordinances is to
address properties with condition and/or conduct issues that aie hard to tackle via the crimi-
nal court system.
During this meeting, Carri Levitski from Rum River Consultants (RRC) will join the meet-
ing remotely to share how RRC staff will use the administrative citations ordinance to tackle
building and nuisance code issues. Piior to joining RRC, Carri worked in community devel-
opment for a couple of cities and used these tools.
In the packet are the two draft ordinances along with a suggested fee schedule. Based on the
conversation and community feedback during the public hearing the Council can determine
whether to move ahead with adoption of the ordinances and fee schedule. If the fee sched-
ule needs revisions, the ordinances can still be adopted at this meeting and the fee schedule
at the next.

CITY OF LAUDERDALE,
ORDINANCE NO. 22 04
An Ordinance Amending Title 1 of the Code of Ordinances
Regarding Administrative Citations
The city council of the city of Lauderdale ordains as follows:
SECTION 1. Title 1 of the Lauderdale City Code is hereby amended by adding a new Chapter 11
as follows:
CHAPTER 11
ADMINISTRATIVE CITATIONS
1-11-1 PURPOSE
1-11-2 DEFINITION
1-11-3 PROCEDURE
1-11-4 PAYMENT
1-11-5 CONTESTING ADMINISTRATIVE CITATIONS
1-11-6 DISPOSITION OF PENALTIES; ADDITIONAL CONSEQUENCES
1-11-7 PENALTIES CUMULATIVE
1-11-1 PURPOSE,
The city council of the city of Lauderdale finds that there is a need for additional alternative
methods of enfoi cing the city code. While criminal fines and penalties have been the most frequent
enforcement mechanism, the administiative enforcement of the city code will increase compliance
with the code, will encourage citizens to become more receptive to enforcement efforts, will be
more informal and cost-effective, and will keep many violations out of the district court's criminal
justice system. Accoidingly the city council finds that the use of administrative citations is a
legitimate alternative method of enforcement of the city code that is also an effective way to
promote the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens. This method of enforcement shall be in
addition to and not exclusive of any other legal remedy for code enforcement, including, without
limitation, the filing of criminal charges or other civil remedies for code violations.
1-11-2 DEFINITION
"Administrative offense" is any violation of a provision of the Lauderdale City Code or any
violation of a condition or requirement of a City -issued permit or license, and such violations
may be subject to the administrative citation process set forth herein Each day a violation exists
shall constitute a separate administiative offense. In cases where code violations involve real
property, both the responsible party and the property owner may be held accountable for
violations occurring on the said property after proper notice is given.
1-11-3 PROCEDURE
1
LA135-3-801725.v2
A. Authority to Issue Notices and Citations. The following representatives of the city shall
have the authority to issue notices and citations for administrative offenses:
i. Building official;
ii. Building inspector;
iii. Safety/rental inspector;
iv. City administrator;
v. Any licensed peace officer;
vi. Any other personnel designated by the city administrator to enforce the city code.
B. Administrative Notice.
Upon determining that an administrative offense has occurred, a city
representative may issue an administrative notice to the violator, either in person
or by regular mail. In the case of a vehicular violation, the administrative notice
may be attached to the vehicle. The notice will state the date, time, and nature of
the administrative offense, the action necessary to remedy the administrative
offense, a reasonable time period to come into compliance, and the name of the
official issuing the notice.
ii. If the violator is making a good faith attempt to remedy the administrative
offense, the city may grant an extension to the time period contained in the notice,
the length of which must be agreed upon in writing between the city and the
violator.
iii. If an administrative offense is a same or similar subsequent violation within any
12 -month period, an administrative notice is not required before subsequent
citations are issued pursuant to subsection (C) below.
C. Administrative Citation. If the violator fails to correct the administrative offense within
the time period provided in an administrative notice, a city representative may issue an
administiative citation. The citation must be issued to the violator in person or by regular
mail. In the case of a vehicular violation, the citation may be attached to the vehicle.
The citation must state the date, time, and nature of the administrative offense, the action
necessary to remedy the administiative offense, the name of the representative issuing
the citation, the amount of the scheduled fine, the manner for paying the fine, that a
failure to pay may result in a lien against real property to be collected via assessment or
a personal obligation of the violator, and the violator's right and manner for appealing
the citation under section 1-11-5.
1-11-4 PAYMENT
A. Amount. The amount payable for administrative citations shall be established by the fee
schedule as adopted by the city council and, unless an appeal is appropriately requested,
shall be due within 10 days of the date of the citation In the event that a violator is
issued a second or subsequent administrative citation for the same or substantially similar
2
LA135-3-801725.v2
offense within a twelve (12) month period, the fee for such second or subsequent offense
may be increased pursuant to the fee schedule.
B. hffect of Payment. Payment of an administrative citation to the city will not act to
prevent or affect further enforcement efforts that may result from any ongoing conduct
of the violatoi, including any and all city code violations that occur after the issuance of
the original admimstt ative citation.
C. Failure to Pay. If the violator fails to pay the fee for the violation in the amount of time
specified in the administrative citation which shall be 10 days absent an appeal, the city
may suspend or revoke any city -issued license that is associated with the administrative
offense or take additional enforcement actions afforded to the city under the law for the
cited offense. Additionally, any unpaid fee shall constitute:
i. A lien upon the real property upon which the violation occurred if the
property or improvements on the property was the subject of the violation; or
ii. A personal obligation of the violator in all other situations.
A lien may be assessed against the property and collected in the same manner as taxes.
A lien may be collected as a special chaige, as authorized by Minnesota Statutes, sections
366.011 and 366.012 as well as Minnesota Statutes, section 415.01, subd. 2. A personal
obligation may be collected by any appropriate legal means.

her designee shall schedule the appeal hearing as soon as reasonably practical but in no
event more than 60 days from the date of such appeal notice.
B. The appeal will be heard by a neutral third party hearing office appointed by the city
administrator or his or her designee. At the hearing, the parties will have an opportunity
to present testimony and documentary evidence and question witnesses, but strict
compliance with evidentiary rules will not be required. The hearing officer may impose
limitations on the scope of evidence to be allowed as well as time limits which may apply
to such appeal hearings, and any other substantive or procedural elements which the
hearing offices deems appropriate to ensure an efficient appeal process.
C. The hearing officer shall issue its findings and conclusions, in writing, within 30 days
following the hearing. Upon concluding that an administrative citation was justified, it
will uphold the citation as issued. If the healing officer finds that the administrative
citation was not justified, it will over turn the citation.
D. Failure to attend the appeal hearing constitutes a waiver of the violatoi s rights to a hearing
and an admission of the violation. The city administrator may waive this result, however,
3
LA135-3-801725.v2
upon a showing of good cause. Examples of "good cause" are: death or incapacitating
illness of the accused; a court order requiring the accused to appear foi another hearing at
the same time; or lack of proper service of the citation or notice of the hearing. "Good
cause" does not include forgetfulness or intentional delay.
E An aggrieved party may obtain judicial review of the decision of the hearing officer
according to any applicable law.
1-11-6 DISPOSITION OF PENALTIES; ADDITIONAL CONSEQUENCES

deposited into the city's general fund. The city may also suspend or revoke a city -issued license,
permit, or othei approval associated with any administrative violation, subject to any applicable
procedural iequirements contained in state or local laws as it relates to adverse action against

or other approval is authorized iegardless of whether additional penalties (such as administrative
fines) are imposed for the violation.

law, and the penalties provided herein shall be cumulative.

public safety agencies who respond to or remain at the nuisance event, any cost for the
equipment necessary to respond to such event, the cost of any repairs needed to such
equipment based on the response, and the cost of any medical treatment which may be
required to be provided to responding officers.
C. A repeat nuisance service call fee imposed under this chapter will be deemed delinquent

such fee.

Interim Cannabis Ordinance
DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE AND PAST COUNCIL ACTION:
The legalization of edible cannabinoids by the state legislature this year created a number of
questions for cities on whether they should or should not take a role in regulating the sale or
location of the sale of these products. The League of Minnesota Cities and city attorneys
throughout the state are taking a look at the new law and trying to answer the questions be-
ing posed by their city clients. Because state law has little by way of regulation of the prod-
uct, that is being left to cities. There is a strong possibility the legislature may create addi-
tional regulations but that wouldn t happen until the legislative session next year which
leaves cities deciding what, if anything, to do now.
Because of the uncertainty around the issue, the City Council can adopt an interim ordinance
to prohibit the sale of the edible cannabinoids within the City for up to one year to research
the issue. Staff recommends this because new information is coming out regularly that
should be considered.
OPTIONS:
Based on Council sentiment and feedback during the public hearing, the Council can decide
whether or not to adopt the interim ordinance.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Motion to adopt Ordinance No. 22-06 adopting an Interim Oidinance Authorizing
Studies and Imposing a Moiatorium on the Sale of Cannabis Products.

ORDINANCE NO. 22-06
CITY OF LAUDFIRDALH,
COUNTY OF RAMS [I Y
STATE OF MINNESOTA
AN INTERIM ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING STUDIES AND IMPOSING A
MORATORIUM ON THE SALE OF CANNABIS PRODUCTS
The City Council of the City of Lauderdale does ordain as follows:
Section 1. Legislative Findings and Authority
(A) There is a great deal of uncertainty regarding the effect of Minnesota Laws 2022,
Chapter 98 amending Minnesota Statutes, section 151.72 (the "Act') to allow the
sale of edible cannabinoid products (` Cannabis Products").
(B) Because the proposal to allow the sale of Cannabis Products received little publicity
until the Act went into effect on July 1, 2022, the city of Lauderdale (the `City') did
not have an opportunity to study and consider the potential impacts of the Act 01 to
engage in policy discussions regarding the potential regulation of sale of Cannabis
Products by the City.
(C) The Act authorizes the Minnesota Board of Pharmacy to enforce the Act but the Act
does not piovide foi any licensing of manufacturers or of those who sell Cannabis
Products and is silent regarding the enactment of local regulations related to
Cannabis Products.
(D) The Act does not expressly piohibit or limit local regulations but the regulations
established in the Act clearly do not constitute the Legislature having occupied the
field of regulation regarding the sale of Cannabis Products.
(E)
The city council finds the uncertainties associated with sale of Cannabis Products,
as well as the options of local regulation, strongly suggests the need for a study to
develop information the City Council may use related to potential regulation of
Cannabis Products through the adoption of licensing and zoning controls.
(F) Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section 462.355, subdivision 4(a), the city council
is authorized to adopt an interim ordinance "to regulate, restrict, or prohibit any use
.. within the jurisdiction or a portion thereof for a period not to exceed one year
from the date it is effective."
(G) The city council is also authorized as part of its general police powers to adopt
business licensing requirements related to the sale of Cannabis Products.
1
LA135-3-811318.v1
(H) The Minnesota Supreme Court in Almquist v. Town of Marshan, 245 N.W.2d 819
(Minn. 1976) upheld the enactment of a moratorium despite the lack of express
statutory authority as being a power inherent in a broad grant of power to
municipalities. In most cases, the enactment of business licensing requirements is
based on a city's police powers, which is the broadest grant of power to cities.
Inherent in that broad grant of authority is the power to place a temporary
moratoi ium on a business to study and potentially implement licensing regulations
on that business.
(I) There are both business licensing and zoning issues associated with the sale of
Cannabis Products. The city council determines it needs time to study the matter and
to consider the development and adoption of appropriate local regulations. To
protect the planning process and the health, safety, and welfare of the residents while
the City conducts its study and the city council engages in policy discussions
regarding possible regulations, the city council determines it is in the best interests
of the City to impose a temporary moratorium on the sale of Cannabis Products.
Section 2. Definitions For the purposes of this Ordinance, the following words, terms, and
phrases shall have the meanings given them in this section.
(A) "Act" means 2022 Minnesota Session Laws, Chapter 98 (H.F. No. 4065), amending
Minnesota Statutes, section 151.72.
(B) "Cannabis Products means Edible Cannabinoid Product and any other product that
became lawful to sell for the first time in Minnesota effective July 1, 2022, as a result
of the adoption of the Act.
(C) "Edible Cannabinoid Product" has the same meaning given the term in Minnesota
Statutes, section 151.72, subdivision 1(c).
Section 3. Study. The city council hereby authorizes and directs the city administrator to conduct
a study regarding Cannabis Products and provide the city council a report on the potential
regulations of such products. The report shall include recommendations on whether the city
council should adopt regulations and, if so, the recommended types of regulations. The study shall
consider, but is not limited to, the following:
(A) The potential impacts of the sale of Cannabis Products within the City;
(B) Licensing the sale of Cannabis Products and related regulations; and
(C) Zoning regulations related to the sale and distribution of Cannabis Products.
2
LA135-3-811318.v1
Section 4. Moratorium. A moratorium is hereby imposed within the City regarding the sale of
Cannabis Pioducts No business, person, or entity may sell Cannabis Products to the public within
the juiisdictional boundaries of the City. The City shall not accept, process, or act on any
application, site plan, building permit, or zoning 01 other appioval for a business proposing to
engage in the sale of Cannabis Products.
Section 5. Violations. During the period the moratorium is in effect it is a violation of this
Ordinance to sell Cannabis Products within the City.
Section 6. Exceptions The moratorium imposed by this Ordinance does not apply to the sale of
medical cannabis or hemp products that were lawful to sell prior to the effective date of the Act.
Section 7. Enforcement. Violation of this Ordinance is a misdemeanor. In addition, the City
may enforce this Ordinance by mandamus, injunction, other appropriate civil remedy in any court
of competent jurisdiction.
Section 8. Effective Date and Term. This Ordinance shall be effective upon adoption and
publication in the City's official newspaper and shall have a team of 12 months. This Ordinance
shall remain in effect until the expiration of the 12 -month term, until it is expressly repealed by
the city council, or until the effective date of an ordinance amending the city code to address
Cannabis Products, whichever occurs first.
Section 9. Severability Fivery section, provision, and part of this Ordinance is declared severable
from every other section, provision, and part thereof. If any section, provision, or part of this
Ordinance is held to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such judgment shall not
invalidate any other section, provision, or part of this Ordinance.

the official newspaper in lieu of the entire ordinance:
Public Notice
On July 26, 2022, the city council of the city of Lauderdale adopted
Ordinance No. 22-06, an ordinance establishing a moratorium on the sale of Cannabis
Products, as that term is now defined in state law. The 2022 Legislature adopted an
amendment to Minnesota Statutes, section 151.72 which permits the retail sale of
edible cannabinoid products as of July 1, 2022. Virtually no advanced word about
this legislation was provided prior to passage. The act authorizes the Minnesota Board
of Pharmacy to enforce the law but provides no guidance regarding regulation.
Lauderdale, like most cities, is unprepared to regulate the sale of these products. The
interim ordinance declares a moratorium on such sales and authorizes a study to
determine if and how the city wishes to regulate sales. Medical cannabis and hemp
products which could be sold legally before July 1, 2022, are exempt from the
moratorium. The moratorium has a maximum duration of 12 months. This public
notice is intended only to summarize the ordinance. The full text of the ordinance is

DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE AND PAST COUNCIL ACTION:
For simplicity, staff decided to separate the fee schedule discussion from the administrative
ordinances discussions. The proposed fee schedule was amended to include the types of vi-
olations staff envision enforcing through administration citations from adoption through the
end of 2022. Based on how well it works, more items can be added in 2023 Please review
the list noted in red on the first page. Staff is looking for feedback on the list but especially
on the fine level. Most of the fines are lower than the Roseville or Cambridge fees we look
at but seem to have a level of reasonableness.
Since the fee schedule is being amended, staff proposing adding the changes in red on the
other pages. If there are any questions, we can discuss during the meeting.

STAFF INITIAL
2023 Budget and Levy
APPROVED BY ADMINISTRATOR
DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE AND PAST COUNCIL ACTION:
Staff continues to work on a draft of the 2023 general fund budget but it is a work in pro-
gress. It will be a difficult year as one would expect if you watch the news. The big issues
are the coming together of inflation and staffing pressures. A few of the cost drivers for
2023 are:
• $63,182 or 7.93% increase in policing costs
• $14,757 or 2.8% decrease in LGA
• $4,639 or 21.4% increase for IT services
Without factoring increasing staffing costs, fuel costs, or any increases from any of our other
partneis, the city has to address a $82,578 budgetary shortfall or about double our annual
general fund budget increase.
The good news is, the City Council has options to address this and will be the topic of dis-
cussion during the meeting. One of staff's proposal is to make a permanent annual contribu-
tion from the sanitary sewer fund and the storm sewer fund to cover administrative over-
head. Cuiiently, there is some cost staring with these funds but they have never contributed
to building repairs and maintenance, vehicle repairs and maintenance legal services, and
legislative time to name a few. If the transfer is permanent, the down the road impact is
lessened as the enterprise funds are healthy and the expected contribution is not large.
The other option is to use some of the American Rescue Plan dollars to cover the shortfall.
The funds were designed for that. It would be a short-term solution to reach an acceptable
levy increase. As these are non -reoccurring funds paying fou reoccurring expenses, the levy
will eventually need to be raised to cover the costs. Ideally, by next year prices will have
flattened and decisions can then be made based on the new reality.

Police Contract 2023
Police Contract - 2023 PRELIM.pdf
Speaking of the PD contract, the preliminary 2023 is ready for us to review and discuss.
Below are the assumptions they used to put this together, and this is without any additional staff assumed as this time.
Figured those conversations can happen separately/in parallel and this can be adjusted based on how those things play
out.
The preliminary draft includes the following assumptions:
• No change in existing employee count
• 4.5 percent increase in wages from 2022 police contract
• Health insurance rates will increase by 10.85 percent in 2023
• The contract includes a blended 16.0 percent health insurance increase based on current elections
• 50 percent increase in fuel pricing, which is the current run rate compared to prior year
• 31 percent increase in Roseville IT and phone based on the Metro-Inet Voting allocation sheet
• 17 percent decrease in prop/casualty insurance from 2022 contract, this is based on 2022/2023 renewal
• All other expenses were inflated by 4 percent
• Total contract increase was 7.93 percent or $63,182 from 2022 contract
Once you've had a chance to digest let me know and we can chat on it. Fyi, I will be out of the office until Tuesday, but
let me know when you want to discuss and if you have any questions.
