Councilmember McGlone requested further information regarding the applicant's ability to drive his trucks when the road restrictions are in place. He stated he felt the proposed use would create a nuisance and does not fit within the residential zoning of the area. Applicant David Hauan, 16341 Jarvis Street, stated all of his trucks are not overweight, are perfectly legal, and he is able to drive during road restrictions in the spring. He added his trucks are not over five tons and they leave empty and return empty.

Case #8: Authorization to Enter into a Contract for Newsletter Ad Sales, Newsletter Redesign, and Newsletter Printing Services Management Intern Hendricks reviewed the staff report City Attorney Goodrich requested that the motion by the Council include a provision that the contract is subject to City Attorney approval as to the standard city contract legal form. Motion by Councilmember Dehen, seconded by Councilmember Elvig, to Adopt Resolution #09-08-193 Authorizing Staff to enter into contracts with Youth First Marketing, LLC, Great River Printing, and Audra Leonard (Logodog), subject to City Attorney approval as to the standard city contract legal form. Further Discussion: Councilmember Look stated it was his understanding the City was looking for a designer of the newsletter that could also facilitate the website. He asked if the design for the newsletter will be transferable to the website, and whether the graphic artist can do the work required on the website. Deputy City Administrator Nelson stated staff was pursuing the Ramsey Resident piece on one track with advertising, separate from the website; as a result, all work with the graphic artist is strictly related to the newsletter redesign. She added the new design could be replicated on the website if Council chooses. Councilmember Look stated he felt staff should probably coordinate the two, and asked if Ms. Leonard's $250 for the additional seasonal artwork is intended to involve designing something from scratch or simply changing pictures. He noted the other business quoted significantly more for four seasonal designs. Management Intern Hendricks stated it was her understanding that Ms. Leonard would use the design as is, but the City would have the option to change it with the seasons and she would charge $250 for that City Council /August 25, 2009 Page 14 of 20
