Resolution 11-027; Supporting the Preliminary concept of a Veteran's Memorial Monument within the City of St AnthonyVilla e Doug Koehntop Park Commission Chair, presenting. 8 Mr. Doug Koehntop, Park Commission Chair, presented several examples of Veteran's 9 Memorials considered by the Park Commission at its last meeting. He advised that the Park 10 Commission proposes to install a memorial honoring military service that would be located in 11 the old horseshoe pits off Silver Lake Road between the fire station and City Hall where it has 12 visibility and accessibility. He stated that the Park Commission believes such a memorial will 13 not exceed $25,000. He noted that the Park Commission is requesting the City Council's 14 endorsement to proceed with developing a concept for the memorial for Council consideration, 15 and added that there appear to be a number of groups that would support the memorial, including 16 the Kiwanis, Lions, and Chamber of Commerce. 17 18 Public Works Director Hartman stated that setback requirements will be taken into consideration 19 once the concept is developed and noted that if the memorial will not fit at this location, it could 20 be located just to the west of the main parking lot. 21 22 Councilmember Roth asked if consideration had been given to locating the memorial to the south 23 of the fire station to avoid having to take away any parking. 24 25 Public Works Director Hartman replied in the affirmative and stated that that area could work as 26 well but the Park Commission's goal is to have as much visibility as possible for the memorial. 27 28 Councilmember Jenson asked who will be responsible for ongoing maintenance of the site. 29 30 Mayor Faust indicated that the memorial would be located on City property so it would be the 31 City's responsibility to maintain the grounds surrounding the memorial. He requested further 32 information regarding the City's ability to accept private donations for the Veteran's Memorial. 33 34 City Manager Morrison advised that any private donations would be accepted by the Council via 35 resolution. 36 37 Councilmember Roth asked what would happen if the amount of funds received for this project 38 was in excess of actual project costs. 39 40 Mayor Faust stated that the City Council could dedicate any excess funds to maintenance costs 41 as part of the final resolution approving the project. 42 43 Motion by Councilmember Gray, seconded by Councilmember Jenson, to approve Resolution 44 11-027; Supporting the Preliminary Concept of a Veteran's Memorial Monument Located 45 Within the City of St. Anthony Village. 46 2 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes March 22, 2011 Page 3 1 Motion carried unanimously. 2 3 VI. GENERAL BUSINESS OF COUNCIL. 4 5 A. Resolution 11-028; Relating to $3,000,000 General Obligation Improvement Bonds 6 Series 2011A; Awarding the Sale, Fixing the Form and Details and Providing for the 7 Execution and Delivery Thereof and Security Therefor and Levying Ad Valorem Taxes 8 for the Payment Thereof. Jon North. Ehlers & Associates, presenting. 9 10 Mr. Jon North, Ehlers & Associates, presented the results of the General Obligation 11 Improvement Bonds sale held earlier today. He congratulated the City on the outstanding sale 12 results and explained that the City benefited from its excellent "AA" credit rating. He stated that 13 the purpose of the bond sale was to finance the 2011 road reconstruction project and also to 14 refund the 2012-2019 maturities of the City's 2003A bonds, which results in interest rate savings 15 for the benefit of the taxpayer. He stated that the City received eight bids and the low bidder was 16 Morgan Keegan at a true interest cost of 2.9%. He noted that the City saved approximately 17 $32,000 by utilizing a competitive bid process and the City was able to get a premium bid which 18 means there will be more money to put into the project fund. He advised that due to low interest 19 rates, the present value savings represent approximately $63,000, compared to an anticipated 20 savings of $54,000. He then presented the bid tabulations and summary sheet detailing expense 21 revenue streams to support the bonds. 22 23 Councilmember Stille pointed out that the City's refinancing of the 2003A bonds does not extend 24 the amortization period. 25 26 Motion by Councilmember Roth, seconded by Councilmember Jenson, to approve Resolution 27 11-028; Relating to $3,000,000 General Obligation Improvement Bonds, Series 2011A; 28 Awarding the Sale, Fixing the Form and Details and Providing for the Execution and Delivery 29 Thereof and Security Therefor and Levying Ad Valorem Taxes for the Payment Thereof. 30 31 Motion carried unanimously. 32 33 B. Ordinance 11-001; Relating to Regulation of Tobacco Sales, Amending Section 111 of 34 the St. Anthony City Code. Kim Moore Sykes, Assistant City anager, presenting. 35 36 Assistant City Manager Moore Sykes advised that in 2007, Governor Pawlenty signed an 37 amendment to the Freedom to Breathe Act that allowed sampling of tobacco and which also gave 38 local jurisdictions the authority to adopt amendments that are more restrictive in allowing this 39 sampling. She indicated that the City currently has eleven vendors with tobacco licenses and all 40 license holders were mailed notice of the proposed amendments to the tobacco ordinance. She 41 then reviewed each of the proposed amendments with the City Council. She also recited the 42 schedule for the ordinance amendments as contained in the March 22, 2011 staff report. 43 44 Mayor Faust stated that the City will still allow sales of tobacco products, but does not believe 45 sampling of these products is in the best interest of the community, as provided in § 111.057. 46 3 2 1l 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes March 22, 2011 Page 4 City Attorney Gilligan stated that this is correct and noted that this provision will be modified slightly for the second reading. Councilmember Roth requested clarification regarding § 111.049(F) and asked if the City would deny a license to sell tobacco to someone who rents space and is not the property owner. City Attorney Gilligan replied in the affirmative. Mayor Faust stated that this provision was added because most businesses pay a common area maintenance charge that includes property taxes and this will protect the City in the event property taxes are delinquent. Mr. Eric Brever, attorney for Flameez Shop, 3805 Stinson Boulevard, appeared before the City Council and stated that his client feels frustrated by this process and objects to § 111.057 relating to sampling. He explained that as part of obtaining its license, his client was required to expend approximately $180,000 to upgrade the ventilation system for its leaseholder as a requirement of the City Code in order to open its tobacco shop. He stated that under the new ordinance, his client's business will not be in existence and the $180,000 expense will be for naught. He added that his client would not have upgraded the ventilation system had they known this ordinance amendment was coming, and his client strongly urged the City Council to reconsider allowing this use for existing licensees. Councilmember Roth stated it was his understanding that the definition of sample means that something is free and asked Mr. Brever if his client offers free samples. He also asked how this ordinance would put Mr. Brevet's client out of business. Mr. Brever stated that the statutory definition of sample does not require that it be free. He added that with tobacco products, samples generally have to be paid for and cannot be given away. He indicated that the definition of sample includes to "try or taste or test" and this "try or taste or test" could be for a fee, and his client provides sampling for a fee. Mayor Faust stated that when Mr. Brever's client applied for its tobacco license, the City instituted a moratorium to study sampling in tobacco shops and that moratorium should have indicated to Mr. Brever's client whether it was prudent to spend $180,000 to upgrade the ventilation system. He added that nine of the eleven tobacco license holders do not offer sampling and the proposed amendments will serve to level the playing field and meet the intent of the City Council. Motion by Councilmember Roth, seconded by Councilmember Stille, to approve Ordinance 11- 001; Relating to Regulation of Tobacco Sales, Amending Section 111 of the St. Anthony City Code. City Attorney Gilligan suggested that § 111.057 be amended to read "§ 111.057 SPECIFIC nnr, n n TRW n r cm n r,n n n r,e SMOKING PROHIBITED.

Mornson, City Manager Mayor and City Council From: Kim Moore -Sykes, Assistant City Manager Date: April 12, 2011 Subject: Tobacco Ordinance Amendments, 2nd Reading In 2007, Governor Pawlenty signed an amendment to the Freedom to Breath Act that allowed sampling of tobacco and tobacco -related products in the tobacco shop. Also as a part of the amendment, local jurisdictions were given the authority to adopt amendments to their local ordinances that could be more restrictive. On June 22, 2010, the City Council adopted a moratorium to give the City time to study sampling in tobacco shops in St. Anthony. The moratorium also provided an opportunity to update the City's existing tobacco ordinance to include all tobacco products and not just cigarettes. The City Attorney reviewed the proposed revisions and the proposed revised Tobacco Ordinance was presented by Staff at the first reading on March 22, 2010. As the result of the first reading, an additional revision was proposed for §111.057, whereby the subdivision title was changed from SPECIFIC OPERATIONAL STANDARDS to SMOKING PROHIBITED. Additional word changes to that subdivision are included with the attached revised Ordinance 2011-01. The timeline below was proposed by City Staff and approved by City Council. Notices of proposed changes to the City's ordinance were mailed to all of the tobacco vendors in the City of St. Anthony. In addition, a second notice of the proposed amendments to the City's tobacco ordinance was mailed to all tobacco vendors on February 24, 2011. The City Council has scheduled three (3) readings for the ordinance amendments. Feb.10, 2011 30 -Day Notice due to tobacco retailers notifying them of a proposed change to the City s Tobacco Ordinance. Second Notice sent on February 24, 2011. Feb.15, 2011 License Renewal Notice sent to tobacco retailers advising them that they are required to renew their tobacco license by March 15, 2011. Staff proposes that this notice and the 30- Day Notice be sent together in the same mailing. Staff further suggests that the 30 -Day Notice be printed on colored paper to differentiate this notice from the Licensure Notice. March 22, 2011 First Reading of the proposed amendments to the Tobacco Ordinance. April 12, 2011 Second Reading of the proposed amendments to the Tobacco Ordinance. April 26, 2011 Third Reading of the proposed amendments to the Tobacco Ordinance.

However, Minnesota Statutes, Section 144.417, provides that nothing in Minnesota Statutes, Sections 144.414 to 144.417 prohibits the City from enacting.and enforcing more stringent measures to protect individuals from secondhand smoke, and pursuant to this authority the City is considering amendments to its tobacco ordinance to prohibit or restrict smoking in tobacco products shops. While the City is studying whether to amend the ordinance it has imposed a moratorium on the issuance of new licenses for paper and tobacco shops. In connection with considering the amendments to the tobacco ordinance I understand that questions have been raised as to howl to deal with the two existing tobacco products shops where sampling is presently occurring. In my opinion the City could prohibit smoking in these shops either as of the effective date of the ordinance or as of a future date specified in the ordinance. Just because. smoking is presently occurring in these shops does not preclude the City from prohibiting smoking in these shops under the authority in Minnesota Statutes, Section 144.417. This is similar to the smoking ban in bars and restaurants that was imposed by certain cities and counties prior to the state-wide smoking ban becoming effective in 2007. In lieu of prohibiting smoking in existing tobacco products shops the City could grandfather these shops from the smoking ban subject to certain conditions or rules specified in the ordinance, and so long as such shop remains opened and licensed and the conditions are complied with, smoking will continue to be permitted. If the conditions in the ordinance are violated the right to the sampling of tobacco products in the shop can be revoked or suspended upon notice and opportunity for a hearing similar to that provided in Section 111.056 of the City Code. The moratorium imposed by the City for the issuance of new diaper and tobacco licenses was for one year or until terminated by the City Council. One year is the tnaxhnntn term of this DORSEY & WHITNEY LLP • WWW.DORSEY•OOM ..
