City Council meeting of 11/21/88 Page 3 WASHINGTON COUNTY SEPTIC INSPECTIONS As per previous Council direction, the staff has met with representatives of Washington County to discuss the possibility of their providing septic system inspections for the City of Hugo. Currently, Hugo has an arrangement with the county to do inspections for existing septic systems. That arrangement has worked out very well, and city staff feels there may be some merit in having all of septic systems permitted and inspected by the county. The two steps necessary for the city to pursue this matter would be to enter into a formal agreement with Washington County for this service, and proceed with the adoption of a septic system ordinance consistent with that being enforced by Washington County. Potts made motion, Olson seconded, directing city staff to proceed with the steps necessary to contract with Washington County for septic system inspections, and the city attorney review the contract agreement and city staff prepare a draft ordinance. All aye. Motion Carried. RESOLUTION CLARIFYING BUILDING PERMIT REQUIREMENTS As per previous Council discussion, the staff has prepared a resolution clarifying the requirements for securing of a building permit. Apparently, there has been some confusion with regard to what requires building permits in the City of Hugo. Information from the city's building code and Minnesota Statutes with regard to uses exempt from the securing of building permits was provided to the Council for their review. City staff feels this clarification will be helpful in dealing with the public as well as elected and appointed officials in the City of Hugo. After a lenghty discussion relating to the requirement to obtain building permits for work performed in excess of $1.00 in value,_it was decided that the city administrator and building inspector will further discuss this matter, and report their findings to the Council at a later date' MINING PERMIT RENEWAL (GEORGE INDYi--.`.IEWICZ) Mr. George Indykiewicz, 1920 Highway 96, New Brighton, Minnesota has made application for his annual mining permit renewal to remove black dirt and fill from his property generally described as the NW 1/4 of Section 17, T31N, R21W, in the City of Hugo. The parcel of land is 165 acres in size. The request before the Council is renewal of the permit issued previously. The City Council may want to consider renewal of this permit on a two year basis to avoid annual renewals unless there is a change in the method of operation or violations of the permit' Atkinson made motion, Peltier seconded, to renew the Mining Permit for George Indykiewicz for a two year period, subject to the previous conditions as set forth by the city. The permit to be processed administratively in 1989' All aye. Motion Carried.
