Item No: 8D MOL --NDS VIEW Meeting Date: May 29, 2018 Type of Business: CB Administrator Review: City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Nyle Zikmund, Mounds View City Administrator Item Title/Subject: 2nd Reading of Ordinance 943 Title 100 Updates to City Code, adoption, and Publication of Summary. Introduction: The City originally adopted a City Code in the early 1970's and does periodic updates. As part of the entire data/records management project, we are endeavoring to update the code with ordinances adopted since 2015 and also doing a review of the entire code starting with Title/Chapter 1 (100) —Administration. Council provided feedback to changes at the April 16th meeting as well as further feedback at their May 7th Workshop. First reading of Ordinance 943 occurred at the May 14, 2018 Council meeting with the second reading scheduled for May 29th A short article on the entire code update and eventual codification has been published in our web page and submitted to the Sun Focus for a potential article. That publication was included as an attachment to this agenda item at the May 14 meeting. Discussion: Upon review and obtaining input from the council the following changes are summarized with an attempt to detail by technical or substantive. If in doubt, I listed under substantive. Technical Changes 1. Publishing 2 written versions of the code instead of 3. 2. Administrative penalties established as part of the annual fee schedule instead of detailed in Title 100 of the Code. 3. Code Enforcement Officer allowed to issue citations for nuisance, illegal parking, building numbers and animal(s) versus the Community Service Officer issuing those. 4. Deputy Clerk changed to Deputy Administrator. 5. Bulk of Section 107 which details elections issues will be stricken as state law supersedes and provides much greater details thus our code provisions are redundant and while accurate, may not always be complete as state statutes have seen significant changes recently and are likely to continue seeing changes. Substantive Changes 1. Misdemeanor and Petty Misdemeanors updated to current state statue penalties (from $700 to $1,000 and $200 to $300)
