Mounds View City Council March 13, 2023 <br />Regular Meeting Page 3 <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause explained he did not recall there being consensus on this point. City <br />Administrator Zikmund reported the Council could discuss this matter further and direct staff how <br />to proceed. <br /> <br />Council Member Lindstrom questioned if the Council supported residents having twelve chickens <br />from the start, or should this number be reduced for one year. <br /> <br />Council Member Gunn indicated she did not support the City limiting the number. <br /> <br />Council Member Lindstrom explained he supported the City limiting the number of birds to eight <br />with the understanding residents could increase the number to twelve after one year. <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause reported eight was an arbitrary number the previous Council settled <br />on based on a request from a resident in Mounds View. He stated he was not real thrilled to move <br />this number to 12, but indicated he would not vote against the Ordinance amendment. City <br />Administrator Zikmund did not anticipate the City would have anymore complaints if the Council <br />were to increase the number of chickens allowed from eight to twelve. <br /> <br />Council Member Lindstrom commented he could support the Resolution as is. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Hull. To Waive the Second Reading and Adopt Ordinance 1001, <br />Amending Chapter 90, Section 90.005 of the City Code increasing number of allowed chickens <br />from 8 to 12 and Approving the Summary Publication for Ordinance 1001. <br /> <br />ROLL CALL: Cermak/Gunn/Lindstrom/Meehlhause/Hull. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br /> <br />C. Resolution 9718, Authorizing the Purchase of an F150 Service Pickup Truck. <br /> <br />Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson requested the Council approve the purchase <br />of an F150 service pickup truck. He explained this truck would be used by water department staff <br />members and an older Ford Ranger would be sold at auction. He discussed how difficult it was to <br />purchase vehicles at this time, due to supply change issues.

To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 9718, <br />Authorizing the Purchase of an F150 Service Pickup Truck. <br /> <br />Council Member Lindstrom thanked staff on his work to receive quotes for this truck.
