Mounds View City Council August 13, 2001 Regular Meeting Page 7 Mayor Sonterre asked if Mr. Stuart felt all the issues were handled. Mr. Stuart replied he does. Assistant to the City Administrator Reed stated the license would be valid from 8/14/01 and expire on 6/30/2002. Mayor Sonterre asked if the Council approved the license, and the Department of Health gave their approval later, if that would extend the expiration date of the license. City Attorney Riggs explained the license automatically goes through June 30. Council Member Thomas suggested that since there is another application on this agenda for this applicant, it maybe more efficient to vote on both licenses at the same time. City Administrator Miller explained the approval would then need to be contingent on the Health Department approval. She was under the understanding that some equipment still needed to be delivered. She cautioned the Council to make their motion contingent. Assistant to the City Administrator Reed noted this item is a public hearing and the other item is not part of this public hearing. Council Member Thomas suggested that since the public hearing has been held, a motion can wait to be given until the other item is presented. She noted that Item 7h cannot be moved up on the agenda since it is not a public hearing. Public hearings must be presented first. David Jahnke, 8428 Eastwood Road, asked if the parking issue had ever been resolved. Mayor Sonterre responded the Director of Economic Development has been in discussions with the theatre and restaurant owners and steps have been taken to alleviate that problem. Mayor Sonterre closed the public hearing at 8:02 p.m. MOTION/SECOND: Thomas/Stigney. To Carry Item 7a over until Item 7h is Presented. Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Motion carried. B.
