Staff recommends approval. Council Member Mueller thanked City staff and the Council for being proactive and stated she is proud of what Mounds View has accomplished. Council Member Mueller asked when someone has been charged for emergency services (Subdivision 2). Attorney Riggs stated the language is consistent with State Statutes and allows the City full latitude to address things like repeat nuisance alarms. Mayor Flaherty noted the language states "may impose," giving the Council that option. Attorney Riggs confirmed that is the case and addresses the recent audit callout related to emergency service fees and charges. Council Member Stigney suggested the words "repeated" and "nuisance" be included in Subdivision 2. Attorney Riggs advised that is addressed elsewhere and the language in Subdivision 2 addresses the issue of collection of the penalty. MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Stigney.
