Mounds View City Council November 25, 2024 <br />Regular Meeting Page 4 <br /> <br /> <br />J. Ordinance 1022, First Reading License Transparency – Handout at Meeting. <br /> <br />City Administrator Zikmund requested the Council introduce an Ordinance that would provide <br />license and pricing transparency for trash haulers in the community. <br /> <br />City Attorney Riggs summarized the proposed Ordinance changes and discussed how trash hauler <br />rates would now be posted for transparency purposes for the residents of Mounds View. He <br />explained Mounds View was not the only City in Minnesota requiring trash haulers to provide this <br />information for residents. <br /> <br />Mayor Lindstrom asked if the City could reject a price increase if there is no fundamental basis <br />for the price change. City Attorney Riggs reported the City Council would have the right to have <br />this dialogue. <br /> <br />Mayor Lindstrom stated he looked forward to the City having a mechanism in place to hold trash <br />haulers to their prices. <br /> <br />Council Member Clark questioned if pricing was proprietary information. City Attorney Riggs <br />reported this was public information. <br /> <br />Mayor Lindstrom explained the City had this information in the recently submitted contracts. He <br />stated the ancillary fees were the secret. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Meehlhause/Cermak. To Waive the First Reading and Introduce Ordinance <br />1022, License Transparency. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br /> <br />A. PUBLIC HEARING: Resolution 10010 Recommending Approval of a <br />Conditional Use Permit for Dynamic Display Sign at 7687 Long Lake Road. <br /> <br />Phil Carlson, Stantec, requested the Council approve a conditional use permit for a dynamic <br />display sign at 7687 Long Lake Road. He reported this church sign would be located within the <br />R-1 zoning district and therefore required a conditional use permit. He explained the sign would <br />be 11 square feet in size. He commented further on the request and recommended approval. <br /> <br />Calvin Woods, Pastor of the Free Life Worship Center, explained he was trying to install a sign to <br />bring in new members to the church. <br /> <br />Mayor Lindstrom explained the City had two other churches with dynamic display signs. <br /> <br />Council Member Gunn asked if the new sign would be added to the existing sign. Mr. Carlson <br />reported the plans show the dynamic display would be installed along County Road I in order to <br />avoid needing a variance. <br />
