Mounds View City Council June 26, 2000 Regular Meeting Page 6 2. Consideration of Business License Renewals for 2000-2001. Assistant to the City Administrator Reed stated in mid-May, staff mailed letters to all City of Mounds View businesses indicating that their business license would expire June 30, 2000. Staff asked that the appropriate applications, tax clearance forms, worker’s compensation forms, fees, and proof of insurance be submitted by June 16, 2000 in order that the staff report could be completed by the June 26, 2000 Council meeting. Assistant to the City Administrator Reed stated staff has received the required information from the business license applicants listed in Exhibit A of the staff report. She advised that Wynnsong 15 and Superior Services have now submitted the appropriate license applications for renewal so she would ask that they be included in the Council’s consideration for approval. Assistant to the City Administrator Reed reported that utility reports and police reports indicate that there are no violations that would prohibit the approval of any license renewal. Pursuant to the Municipal Code, Section 509.05, Subd. 5, staff has requested the Fire Marshall investigate each of the gasoline stations in the City. Assistant to the City Administrator Reed stated staff recommends Council approval of the business license applications for the applicants listed in Exhibit A with the addition of Wynnsong 15 and Superior Services contingent upon satisfactory reports from the Fire Marshall. MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Marty. To approve the licenses as listed in Exhibit A of the staff report with the addition of Wynnsong 15 and Superior Services as recommended by staff. Council Member Stigney asked if there is any way, during license consideration, to strengthen the requirement for increased security at certain businesses. City Attorney Long stated the City has the authority to impose conditions on licenses if there is concurrence with the business owner. So if that is the desire of the Council, the City would want to give notice to the applicant so they can talk about it as part of the public hearing process. He stated that would be difficult to accomplish at this time but, in the future, that policy could be established. Council Member Stigney stated he does not want to consider it at this time but, perhaps, in the future. Mayor Coughlin suggested the Police Chief, based on his records, be asked to advise the Council if that is warranted in the next licensing period. He stated he will talk to the Police Chief about that issue and request such a report. Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried.
