Mounds View City Council September 13, 2010 Regular Meeting Page 7 Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 1 2 G. Resolution 7673, Authorizing Braun Intertec Corporation to perform 3 Preliminary Geotechnical and Environmental Evaluation for the Design 4 Phase for Area D of the Street and Utility Improvement Program. 5 6 Public Works Director DeBar explained Bonestroo was hired to design the street utility plans for 7 Area D. Staff solicited three companies to provide services for the geotechnical and 8 environmental evaluations for this phase of the project. Staff recommended Braun Intertec 9 Corporation for this work at an expense of $5,005. He explained the City has worked with Braun 10 Intertec for Areas B/C. 11 12 Council Member Mueller questioned if the City had any additional site mobilization expenses 13 from last year’s project. Public Works Director DeBar indicated he was uncertain of this but felt 14 the estimated expense was in line with the amount of testing that was required for Area D. 15 16 MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Hull. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 7673, 17 Authorizing Braun Intertec Corporation to perform Preliminary Geotechnical and Environmental 18 Evaluation for the Design Phase for Area D of the Street and Utility Improvement Program. 19 20 Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 21 22 H. First Reading and Introduction of Ordinance 851, an Ordinance Amending 23 Chapters 502 and 503 of the City Code Regarding Liquor Sales on Sundays. 24 25 City Administrator Ericson indicated the City Council adopted Ordinance 843 earlier this year on 26 May 10, 2010. The ordinance made numerous changes to both Chapter 502 and 503 regulating 27 liquor sales in the City of Mounds View. One of the changes in Ordinance 843 addressed liquor 28 sales on Sundays. The City Council deleted reference to an additional license that could be 29 obtained by establishments to provide for sales of alcohol from 10:00 am to noon on Sundays. It 30 was staff’s understanding that no licensed entity served alcohol during this time, since no 31 establishment had ever requested the additional license. 32 33 City Administrator Ericson stated it has since come to our attention that both Mermaid and 34 Moe’s have a history of serving alcohol on Sundays before noon, usually in conjunction with a 35 brunch or some other food service. Neither owner was aware that a separate license in addition 36 to the Sunday license was needed to serve for the two hours before noon on Sundays. (The State 37 of MN allows for the sale and service of alcohol beginning at 10 am Sundays.) While the 38 original language, now deleted, seemed fairly straightforward, clearly it had been interpreted 39 otherwise by two of our licensed establishments. Based on direction provided by the City 40 Council at their work session on September 7, 2010, the attached ordinance is available for 41 introduction and first reading. Second reading and adoption will be scheduled for September 27, 42 2010. 43 44 MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Stigney. To Waive the First Reading and Introduce Ordinance 851, 45
