MOUNDS = T� Item No: <br />V Meeting Date: January 24, M22 <br />Type of Business: Council Business <br />City Administrator Review: <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Nyle Zikmund, City Administrator <br />Item Title/Subject: Introduction and First Reading, Ordinance 987 Amending <br />Title XI, Business Regulations, by Deleting Chapter 111, <br />Amusements and Leisure, Section 111.020 through 111.030, <br />Amusement Devices and Centers <br />Introduction: <br />Chapter 111 of the Mounds View Municipal Code relating to Amusement Devices and <br />Centers needs amendment as recommended by the City Attorney. <br />Discussion: <br />Staff gave various minor updates/amendments to Chapter 111 relating to Amusement <br />Devices to the City Attorney for review. After review, the attorney inquired whether <br />amusement centers and devices are even something that the City wanted to continue <br />regulating. He added that this type of licensing requirement is rather outdated and cities <br />are getting away from regulating them because there is not much of a public policy <br />reason to do so. <br />Currently we have two licenses issued for amusement devices and centers; the <br />Mermaid and AMC Mounds View 15 Theater. <br />The proposed Code amendment was brought up to the City Council and discussed at <br />your October 25, 2021 City Council meeting during reports by staff, and it was the <br />consensus of the Council to remove this chapter. <br />Staff Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends that the City Council introduce and conduct the first reading of <br />Ordinance No. 986 amending Title XI by deleting Chapter 111, Sections 111.020 <br />through 111.030, Amusement Devices and Centers. <br />Respectfully, <br />Nyle Zikmund <br />City Administrator <br />The Mounds View Vision <br />A Thriving Desirable Community <br />
