City Council meeting of October 3, 2005 Page 2 APPROVAL OF CLAIMS Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved the claims roster for October 3, 2005 as presented. APPROVE EXTENSION OF INTERNSHIP FOR SCOTT BALLER IN BUILDING DEPT. . Scott Baller was hired by the City on April 19, 2005 as the City's new building department intern. His six-month internship was set to expire on October 19, 2005, but due to previous employment, Scott did not accept any compensation from the City until July 2005. Scott had developed into a very good building inspector over the past six months, and with the volume of inspection services needed, staff requests that his internship be extended until December 2005. Adoption of the Consent Agenda extended the internship of Scott Bailer until December 2005. APPROVE PUBLICATION OF PUBLIC HEARING FOR FLOOD PLAIN ORDINANCE CD Development intern Andrew Gitzlaff has prepared a revision to the City's flood plain ordinance, which was last adopted by the City in 1998. When the City assumed LGU responsibility, the City agreed to make changes to the ordinance so that it is consistent with the Rice Creek Watershed District's ordinances. In addition, the ordinance is inconsistent with the DNR's requirements. Over the past several months, Andy has made draft revisions to the ordinance to reflect the changes required by the Rice Creek Watershed District and the DNR. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved the publication of a public hearing for the proposed revised flood plain ordinance, which would include an opportunity to hear public comment at the Planning Commission. APPROVE PUBLICATION OF PUBLIC HEARING FOR HOME OCCUPATION ORD. Over the past several months, a subcommittee, consisting of members of the Planning Commission and City Council, met with City staff from the CD department to review and revise the City's current home occupation ordinance. Staff is pleased to announce that a draft version has been finalized and there is a need to schedule a public hearing. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved the publication of a public hearing for the revised home occupation ordinance in order to allow public comment at the Planning Commission.
