City Council meeting of March 5, 2007 Page 3 APPROVE TEMPORARY ON -SALE LIQUOR LICENSE FOR NORTH STAR GAY RODEO EVEN ON JUNE 29.2007 - JULY 1, 2007 AT THE DEAD BROKE ARENA The North Star Gay Rodeo (NSGR) holds its annual rodeo event at the Dead Broke Saddle Club. The NSGR made application to the City for a temporary on -sale liquor license in order to sell beer at the event. This is the fifth year of the event in the City and their goal is to make the rodeo safe and enjoyable for everyone. They have secured the security services of two Washington County sheriff deputies, in addition to their regular security staff. City staff received the standard liquor liability insurance naming the City as an additional insured. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved the temporary on -sale liquor license for the NSGR event scheduled for June 29, 2007 to July 1, 2007 at the Dead Broke arena. APPROVE APPLICATION FROM RICCI'S FOR RENEWAL OF 2:00 AM CLOSING Ricci's Bar and Grill submitted an application to the City for renewal of their 2:00 am closing license. City staff reviewed the application and found it to be satisfactorily complete. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved renewal the 2:00 am closing time for Ricci's. APPROVE AUTHORIZATION TO SUBMIT SEALED BID FOR USED JETTER FROM THE CITY OF APPLE VALLEY City staff has been working on a formal sanitary and storm sewer policy and budgeted $325,000 in the 2007 CIP for the purchase of a combination sewer/jetter vacuum unit. Staff is aware of a unit that has become available through a sealed bid process from the City of Apple Valley. This unit is only a sewer jetter and the City would potentially need to buy a trailer mounted vacuum unit if the City was successful in acquiring the jetter unit through the sealed bid process. The minimum bid on this piece of equipment is $17,000. The estimated total cost to acquire both the used jetter and a new trailer mounted vacuum unit ranges from $55,000 to $65,000, significantly less than the amount budgeted in the CIP. Staff feels that this is an excellent opportunity to purchase a quality piece of used equipment at a significantly reduced price. Staff has met with Councilmember Mike Granger and he is in agreement that the City should place a sealed bid on this piece of equipment. Immediately, this piece of equipment would be utilized for emergency purposes and scheduled maintenance. The League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT) has recommended that we purchase a piece of equipment similar to this for emergency and maintenance purposes. The City could potentially utilize this equipment more as a formal sanitary and storm sewer policy is approved and maintenance responsibilities could increase. Adoption of the Consent Agenda authorized staff to place a sealed bid on the jetter from the City of Apple Valley. APPROVE ACCEPTANCE OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS FOR NORTHERN PINES SUBDIVISION Masterpiece Homes, developer, requested the City accept the newly constructed public improvements in the Northern Pines development. Acceptance of the improvements would begin a one-year warranty period. At the end of one year, the project would be considered complete and maintenance activities would become the responsibility of the City. The City will continue to hold the existing Letter of Credit during the one year warranty period. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved acceptance of the
