Mounds View City Council January 8, 2018 <br />Regular Meeting Page 7 <br /> <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Hull/Gunn. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 8887, <br />Differential Pay for Patrol Officer David and Development of Policy. <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause reported the Human Resources Committee wanted to support this <br />City employee during her deployment by offering differential pay to cover the difference between <br />what the National Guard would be paying her when compared to her job with the Mounds View <br />Police Department. He stated this seemed like the right thing to do while she is away serving the <br />country. <br /> <br />Council Member Bergeron indicated this was a very honorable act and he was proud to offer his <br />support. <br /> <br />Mayor Mueller stated she would like Patrol Officer David to be happy, safe and returned to the <br />City of Mounds View. She thanked the Mounds View Human Resources Committee for their <br />work on this item. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br /> <br />B. First Reading and Introduction of Ordinance 940, Amending Municipal <br />Code, Section 910, regarding the Management of Right-of-Way within the <br />City of Mounds View. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Peterson requested the Council introduce an Ordinance amending City <br />Code regarding the management of right-of-way within the City of Mounds View. He discussed <br />the changes made by the State that now allowed for small cell towers in public right-of-way. He <br />reported the proposed changes had been reviewed by both staff and the City Attorney. Staff <br />noted the Planning Commission reviewed this item at their January 3rd meeting and <br />recommended approval of Ordinance 910. <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause asked if these types of cell towers would be handled through a <br />permitting process versus a conditional use. City Planner/Supervisor Sevald stated this was the <br />case. He commented on the new legislation and noted small cell towers were allowed in all <br />zoning districts except residential and historical districts. In those two cases, cities could require <br />a conditional use permit instead. He reported staff was recommending that rather than requiring <br />a conditional use permit, the small cell towers would be permitted through the Public Works <br />Department. <br /> <br />Council Member Gunn asked what the permit fee would be. Public Works Director Peterson <br />stated this had yet to be determined by staff. <br /> <br />Mayor Mueller asked if other cities had a fee structure in place. Public Works Director Peterson <br />reported this was a fairly new initiative that was still being determined. <br /> <br />Further discussion ensued regarding the size of small cell towers.
