ORDINANCE NO.976 CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW COUNTY OF RAMSEY STATE OF MINNESOTA AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING THE RECODIFICATION OF THE MOUNDS VIEW MUNICIPAL CODE AND UPDATING THE CITY'S 2021 FEE SCHEDULE THE CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW ORDAINS: ARTICLE I. Authority. Minnesota Statutes, sections 415.02, 415.021, and 599.13 (collectively the "Act") and the Mounds View City Charter, section 3.04 et seq. authorize the City of Mounds View (the "City") to adopt and codify ordinances. The Act also provides that any ordinance included in a new city code, but not previously published, is sufficiently published if a substantial quantity of the code is printed for general distribution to the public. ARTICLE II. Background. At the direction of the Mounds View City Council, City staff and consultants undertook an extensive process to review and update the Mounds View City Code with the understanding that once all the amendments were finalized, they would be incorporated into a new code book, which would be reformatted and readopted as a single unified Mounds View City Code. The general purpose of the recodification is not to implement or incorporate substantive revisions to local laws and policies, but rather to remove outdated and unnecessary code language, reformat the code, update staff titles, and modernize the code to conform to current City practices and state law, as necessary. There were, however, a limited number of substantive amendments that were made due to staff s determination that such amendments were warranted and it was most efficient to accomplish said amendments during this process. The updated code has been prepared and it is the intent of this ordinance to adopt said recodification, which is entitled The Mounds View Municipal Code (the "Code"). Because it incorporates a small amount of changes to the City's current zoning ordinance, the planning commission has reviewed and provided a recommendation, pursuant to state and local law, and the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing regarding such changes on June 28, 2021. A complete copy of the Code has been presented to the City Council and the public together with this ordinance and is further on file with the City Clerk and available on the City's website. Additionally, a separate document summarizing the changes that were made to the previous code has also been made available to the City Council and the public with this ordinance and is further on file with the City Clerk and the City's website. ARTICLE III. Adoption. Pursuant to the City's authority contained in the Act and in the Mounds View City Charter, the Code is hereby adopted. ARTICLE IV. Cam. The City Clerk is authorized and directed to prepare sufficient copies of the Code for use by the City Council and City staff and for general distribution to the public in accordance with any City policies regarding the distribution and availability of City documents. The City Clerk shall also keep an official copy of the Code in the office of the City Clerk and ensure that a copy is available online or otherwise through the City's website. MU210-54-693801.v1
