Mounds View City Council December 12, 2022 Regular Meeting Page 17 Council Member Meehlhause explained the Council discussed how poorly attended these events are each year and were quite expensive too hold. Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. F. Resolution 9666, Approving the Renewal of Mounds View Business Licenses (Non-Liquor). City Administrator Zikmund requested the Council approve the renewal of Mounds View Business licenses (non-liquor). He commented on the feedback staff had received regarding Curbside. Council Member Hull requested staff speak to Curbside regarding their early trash pickup. City Administrator Zikmund asked if the City could suspend a business license. City Attorney Riggs reported this was an option but this could be problematic as residents would have to find a new garbage hauler. Council Member Bergeron suggested Curbside be informed that their license was renewed contingent to discontinuing early AM pickups. City Attorney Riggs reported this could be done. He stated the sooner the Council notifies Curbside of the concerns the Council has the better. He explained another option would be to postpone action on Curbside’s business license to the December 27 City Council meeting and invite them to attend in order to discuss the Council’s concerns. Mayor Mueller stated her only concern was that the Curbside driver would retaliate against the residents of Mounds View. City Attorney Riggs reported the Council was simply delaying action on the business license in order to speak with the license holder about the concerns they have regarding early AM pickups. Finance Director Beer questioned if a fine could be written into the Ordinance for businesses that violate their business license. City Attorney Riggs stated this could be done noting this would require an ordinance amendment. Brian Amundsen, 3048 Woodale Drive, commented if the City were to deny the haulers license, how would the residents that have contracts with this hauler be impacted. City Attorney Riggs reported he does not usually provide legal advice to residents in the community, but stated typically the contract would have to be reviewed. He stated the bottom line was the business could not operate in the community and therefore would not be allowed to collect a fee from Mounds View residents. MOTION/SECOND: Hull/Bergeron. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 9666, Approving the Renewal of Mounds View Business Licenses (Non-Liquor) removing Curbside’s business license and inviting Curbside to attend the December 27, 2022 City Council meeting.
