CITIZEN COMMENTS AND REQUESTS: There were none.
MSP (Hodges - Pickar) for approval of the consent agenda.
Councilmember Ziebarth asked the definition of a "general
amusement device" addition to the Launching Pad's license.
Admin. Achen explained that the City has set fees for operation
of mechanical amusement devices -- one fee for each pinball -type
machine and another fee for each other type device. The Launching
Pad is adding another machine to their existing license; it is
not a pinball -type machine, so they were charged the $25 fee for
adding a general type machine to the license.
Councilmember Ziebarth questioned whether Gopher Carnivals had
been informed of the City's new ordinance governing carnivals and
amusement rides. Admin. Achen stated Gopher had been sent a copy
of the ordinance and the police and fire chiefs had reviewed the
application.
Mayor Pickar asked what type of background check is done on the
contractors requesting a license? Admin. Achen stated that refer-
ences are checked in cities where the contractor has been previously
licensed and the Better Business Bureau is contacted. It is not
an indepth background check. Atty. Meyers has indicated that the
City would have to have a solid case to deny a license, particularly
in the case of a general contractor where the City would be denying
him his livelihood. Therefore, the City has been on the lenient
side on issuing licenses.
