Item No 8F Meeting Date: December 10, 2018 Type of Business: CB Administrator Review : ____ City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Nyle Zikmund, City Administrator Item Title/Subject: Ordinance 952 Chapter 600 Code Update, Second Reading, adoption and ordering summary publication Introduction: This is a continuation of the City Code update with Chapters 100 through 500 update and adopted earlier this year. Chapter 600 deals with Public Health. The proposed Ordinance has been published on our web page since November 7, 2018 and First Reading was held on November 13. One change was made at the meeting; increasing the length of time a commercial vehicle can be parked on the street (during non-restricted hours) from 2 hours to 4 hours. Discussion: Along with numerous technical changes, substantive changes include the council a modest increase to fire false alarm calls from $200 to $250 as it appears more than a decade has passed since it was last increase. We also clarified that the false alarm occurrence is for the entire complex; that is – each unit in each building does not get two “free” false alarms before we impose a fee. Lastly, we “added” domestic” water response to the ordinance as a fee in response to at least on multi-family property failing to provide adequate plumbing and repair systems resulting in residences calling the Fire Department to shut off their water when broken pipes occur. Another addition since first reading is found in Section 3, subsection 1a where language was added to reference our ability to promulgate Solid Waste Management Standards (which we have done) and this simply provides substantiation of our legal authority to do. Recommendation: Conduct Second Reading of Ordinance 952 to update Chapter 600 of the City Code, approve and order summary publication. Respectfully submitted, ________________________ Nyle Zikmund City Administrator
