MSP (Shelquist- Johnson) to grant Lions Club special use permit
to operate used car flea market on the property of Robert
Waste east of the Launching Pad, Saturdays from 10:00 a.m.
to 5:00 p.m. with the stipulation that all cars be removed by
6:00 p.m. of the evening of the sale and with the stipulation
that one permanent sign may be left throughout the week and
any additional signs will be removed each day at the close
of the sale.
Mr. Waste objected to putting signs up and down each Saturday.
He stated there were no complaints last year. Why not go
along with it again this year?
Mayor Johnson stated it is not a question of running into
problems. The problem is uniformity in enforcing the code --
everybody else pointing their finger at us and saying they
could, why can't we.
Council Shelquist stated we have to consider how the road
sides look to non - residents driving through the city; they
get an impression of the city by what they see.
Roll call vote was requested:
Councilman Shelquist - aye
Councilman Hodges - aye
Councilman Baumgartner - nay
Councilman Pickar - aye
Mayor Johnson - aye
Councilman Baumgartner stated his reason for a nay
vote being that he'd rather see six little signs than
one great big one.
Motion carried.
On behalf of the Lions Club, Robert Waste presented Council
with a check in the amount of $135 covering the cost of the
stove which the Lions Club donated to city hall.
MSP (Johnson - Pickar) to receive check from the Mounds View
Lions Club in the amount of $135 for contribution of electric
stove downstairs and sincerely express our appreciation for that
donation. We know the Lions works hard to raise their money.
Council doesn't wish to be arbitrary as far as civic organizations
are concerned. But we must be concerned with what goes on
with all businesses. 5 ayes
Mayor Johnson instructed Mr. Waste to see the Administrator
when they had their plans for the used car flea market sign ready.
MSP (Shelquist- Johnson) to waive the fee for erection of sign
