Motion by Nawrocki, second by Diehm, to set the second reading of Ordinance No.
1582, for Monday June 28, 2010, at approximately 7:00 p.m. in the City Council
Chambers. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried.
E. 1st Reading of Ordinance 1581, being a zoning amendment as it relates to outdoor
seating.
Sargent referred to dining establishments requesting out door eating areas allowing
alcohol. The Police Chief has requested there be a level of safety for this use. Staff
proposed a zoning amendment to the Planning and Zoning Commission (P &Z).
Following discussion, the proposal was voted down by a two to one vote. Staff feels
there is a need to separate outdoor dining/drinking from the general public.
Peterson stated that he spoke against this ordinance at the P &Z meeting, as he felt it is
too restrictive in nature. He referred to Albert's outdoor seating, which is not fenced, but
patrons should be allowed to sit outside and have a sandwich and a beer. If this area
were required to be fenced, patrons would not be able to enter from the front of the
restaurant. Children are allowed inside where adults are eating and drinking. Peterson
stated that the BWW outdoor area is overkill. Ordinances can not be written to fit every
situation.
Nawrocki agreed with the Police Chief's recommendation and referred to bottles
purchased at liquor stores then dropped in the gutters and along the road. The outdoor
seating is for smokers. Nawrocki asked that the blinking lights at Pyromaniacs be
reviewed.
Jim Hoeft, City Attorney, stated that applicants would need to include outdoor seating
areas in their application as part of the premises. Currently, the Police Chief must
consider what would deter the passing of liquor. The Police Chief does not want to be in
that situation. Staff is trying to create objective standards and take the regulation from
the police department and put it where it belongs, in the Community Development
Department. If nothing is done, this decision will remain with the Police Chief. This
ordinance does not add new restrictions.
Diehm indicated this was discussed when the new Police Chief began, as the mast Chief
was very restrictive. We need to consider how to encourage new establishments. The
Chief is requesting this process be given to Community Development. Diehm suggested
meeting with members of the Police Department for additional ideas and comments.
Peterson stated that every place is different. We are not inviting people to misbehave.
Diehm questioned if this could be allowed at Albert's. Hoeft stated it would need to be
included in the premise license. Peterson stated they would have to build a fence. Hoeft
stated that would currently be up to the Police Chief, as there are no written
requirements at this time. The wording of this ordinance indicates that a barrier around
the area would be required and approved by the site plan.
Sargent showed pictures of several businesses and indicated that if there is not a defined
area business may spill out onto areas such as the city sidewalk. Sargent agreed to look
at this further and meet with the Police Chief.
Diehm requested examples from other communities. She gave an example of a St. Paul
restaurant that had outdoor seating with no drinking allowed.

Sargent stated that he has not been approached by any business regarding this ordinance.
Hoeft indicated again that these restrictions are already in place. The point is to put this
process in the hands of the P&Z rather than the Police Chief.
Diehm recommended holding a work session with the P&Z, City Council, City Attorney,
and those holding a liquor license.
Motion by William, second by Kelzenberg, to table the first reading of Ordinance 15 &1.
Nawrocki disagreed, stating this ordinance was not overly restrictive. If a joint meeting
is held, it should include members of the community.
Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried.
ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION
A. Other Ordinances and Resolutions -none
B. Bid Considerations - none
C. New Business and Reports - none
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS
Report of the City Manager
Nawrocki requested that the City newsletter, scheduled to be delivered in August, include
budget information.
Nawrocki requested a grass and general clean up inspection at Grand Central Lofts.
Nawrocki stated that the proposed franchise cable agreement will be brought to the
Telecommunications Commission on July 13. The public and the City Council are invited to
attend. The next step after that is to bring the proposed franchise agreement to the City
Council. There will no longer be a cable studio. We would keep channel 15, but not program
city things on it. We will obtain our own equipment to place items on channel 16.

that he has not heard otherwise.
Nawrocki suggested that with double digit budget increases over the last several years the
budget should be decreased by double digits. He quoted a report on salary reductions.
Nawrocki read from a prepared statement regarding the economy.
Nawrocki questioned the audit process. Elrite stated that it will be distributed before the end
of June and formally presented to the City Council, by the Auditor, at the first meeting in
July.
Nawrocki indicated that the City will receive an Award of Excellence from the League of
Minnesota Cities at their conference in June. Nawrocki stated that he is attending the
conference, at no cost to the city, and offered to accept the award on behalf of the city. Felist
explained the award application and what an honor it is to receive this award. Our
collaboration with the School District to build a new gym and the new public safety building
were instrumental in the award application. Felist suggested inviting a representative of the
School District to attend the award ceremony.

Nawrocki referred to a resident letter regarding the bad maintenance of the new plantings
along University Avenue. Fehst indicated that the State abdicated their responsibility to
maintain this area, but we will maintain it as time allows.
Report of the City Attorney — nothing to report.
CITIZENS FORUM
Mark Roskup, 4154 Stinson, stated that we do not need all of these ordinances as people
know the difference between right and wrong. Use common sense and everything will work
out.
ADJOURNMENT
Mayor Peterson stated: Don't forget your service men and women. Keep them in your
thoughts and prayers. Don't take ourselves too seriously and do a random act of kindness.
