Mounds View City Council October 10, 2000 <br />Special Meeting Page 9 <br />The applicant, Mr. Hall, indicated he will do everything he can to enure the safety of his <br />customers. He also noted he is under strict security guidelines from his insurance carrier and his <br />contract with AmencInn. He then noted he was not sure if putting something m wntmg would <br />be appropriate. <br />Council Member Stigney acknowledged the security measures in place for the AmericInn and <br />indicated he was concerned with security for the rest of the Mermaid development. He then said <br />to his recollection at one point in time the applicant had said he would be willing to specifically <br />address security issues as part of the process. <br />Mr. Hall indicated he did not understand specifically what Council Member Stigney wanted in <br />writing. <br />Council Member Stigney explained the sentence would be incorporated as part of the plan. <br />Robert Hajek, the attorney representing the applicant, stated he did not believe it would be <br />appropriate to add a stipulation for security as a condition of the PUD as it is very subjective and <br />impossible to determine whether he would be in compliance. He reiterated Mr. Hall will be <br />under strict security guidelines from his insurance carrier and the contract with AmericInn. <br />Council Member Stigney indicated this is a Planned Unit Development and said he believed the <br />City would be remiss if they did not address security issues. He then asked City Attorney Long <br />if it would be appropriate to add language governing security. <br />City Attorney Long indicated it would be more appropriate to add language requiring something <br />tangible in regard to security such as lighting requirements or fencing requirements. He <br />indicated it would be difficult to put a sentence such as Council Member Stigney read because <br />there is nothing tangible that can be used to prove whether they were in compliance or not. He <br />then noted it would be easier to draft specific criteria. <br />Council Member Stigney suggested security cameras be added. <br />Council Member Marty noted the Council had talked about this issue previously and he believes <br />the applicant has shown the City that security issues will 'be handled appropriately. He also <br />indicated AmericInn would not put a hotel in if they felt there was any type of security issue. He <br />also noted the plan for the hotel specified there would be security cameras. <br />The attorney for the applicant indicated the Mermaid has security cameras in place now for their <br />own protection. <br />Council Member Marty indicated AmericInn has more stringent security requirements than the <br />Mermaid has in place now and the applicant will have to comply with those requirements. <br />• <br />
