City Council meeting of February 7, 2000 Page 5 At approximately 9:20 pm, the Council returned to open session. BALD EAGLE INDUSTRIAL PARK WETLANDS MITIGATION PLAN The Council considered a letter from Pete Willenbring and Andrea Moffatt, of WSB and Associates, outlining requirements made by the RCWD, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and PCA in order to obtain approval of the mitigation plan proposed for wetlands in the Bald Eagle Industrial Park. Haas made motion, Leroux seconded, to approve the Declaration of Restrictions and Covenants for replacement wetlands, and authority to provide a cash surety or letter of credit, in the amount of $80,000 to the RCWD upon approval of the City's wetland mitigation plan. In addition, WSB and Associates is to prepare a preliminary plat of the easements to be dedicated over those wetlands to remain in the Industrial Park. All aye. Motion Carried. WILDLAND-URBAN INTERFACE PROJECT The Council considered a memorandum from the DNR outlining an opportunity to collaborate with the DNR on wildland-urban interface projects. The DNR proposed to work with one or two local units of government in Anoka County or northern Washington County to evaluate the local unit's policies, plans, etc., on natural resources to complete a GIS -based inventory and develop recommendations on how to improve natural resource -related smart growth management. Peggy Sand of the DNR addressed the Council outlining the proposal. The Council endorsed the proposal, but felt that a formal agreement would clarify both parties involvement in the program. A committee was formed to develop a Memorandum of Agreement: Jim Leroux, Becky Petryk, Bob Museus, and Peggy Sand. DRAFT LIQUOR LICENSE VIOLATION ORDINANCE Barnes made motion, Haas seconded, to hold a public hearing on March 6, 2000, to consider a proposed liquor license penalty ordinance. All aye. Motion Carried. MN DEPT OF PUBLIC SAFETY LETTER (RE: CARPENTER'S) The City received a letter from the MN Department of Public Safety outlining the requirements for the Commissioner of Public Safety or the liquor license issuing authority to impose a civil penalty of not more than $2,000 or license suspension or revocation against a liquor licensee for the sale of alcohol to a minor individual. The letter specifically pertains to Carpenter's, which sold alcohol to a minor on October 20, 1999. The letter further states that if the City does not impose a penalty within 90 days of the date of the letter, the MN Dept of Public Safety will automatically assess a $500 civil penalty against Carpenter's.
