Third reading of the ordinance is <br />scheduled for the March 10, 2009 City Council meeting. The re -codification will take effect <br />April 1, 2009 in order to give the Police Department time to work with County staff. <br />Motion by Councilmember Gray, seconded by Councilmember Thuesen, to approve Second <br />Reading of Ordinance 09-001, an Ordinance Adopting the Re -Codified City Code. <br />Motion carried unanimously. <br />G. Consider Ordinance 09-003 • Planning Commission Compensation Mike Mornson City <br />Manager, presenting (first reading). <br />City Manager Morrison reviewed the ordinance with the Council and indicated that Council has <br />requested staff to prepare a revision to Section 305.04, Planning Commission Compensation. <br />Currently, Section 305.04 provides financial remuneration on a monthly basis for the Planning <br />Commission members to compensate them for their expenses to attend monthly meetings. The <br />proposed change to the Ordinance compensates the Planning Commission at $25 per meeting <br />attended, rather than $25 per month. Staff recommends waiving the second and third readings of <br />the proposed ordinance. <br />Councilmember Roth questioned how Planning Commission compensation is handled in other <br />cities. City Manager Morrison replied most cities do not actually compensate the Planning <br />Commission. However, cities that are outside of the metro area do provide compensation, which <br />is an incentive for members to apply to serve on the commission. <br />10 <br />Mayor Pro Tem Still commented that the compensation is a small thank you to the <br />commissioners for their service. He noted the commissioners drive to sites, conduct research and <br />contemplate things such as variance requests and replattings. <br />Motion by Councilmember Thuesen, seconded by Councilmember Roth, to approve the First <br />Reading, Waive the Second and Third Readings, and adopt Ordinance 09-003; Planning <br />Commission Compensation. <br />Motion carried unanimously. <br />H. Consider Resolution 09-027-, A Request to Keep three Hen Chickens as Pets in the R-3 <br />Zoning District Mike Morrison, City Manager, presenting. <br />City Manager Mornson reviewed the resolution with the Council and indicated that staff received <br />a request from Mr. Todd Roepke, 3901 Foss Road, to be allowed to house three hen chickens. <br />Included with his request, Mr. Roepke provided signature pages from some of his neighbors. He <br />also provided additional information regarding chickens as pets from various sources. The City <br />Ordinance is silent on the keeping of animals in any zoning district. Section 1210.02 states <br />"Keeping of Certain Animals states that certain animals cannot be kept closer than 500 feet to <br />any human habitation of platted land, without the approval of the City Council." 3901 Foss Road <br />
