Section 2 License Required The exemption from carnival licensing for fraternal, religious, veteran or educational organizations has been extended to those events which meet the definition of carnival that are regulated by a conditional use permit. Section 6 Licensing The license fee shall be established by Council resolution. The previous draft referenced that the fee would be on a daily basis. The elimination of this provides for greater Council discretion in establishing the license fee at a daily or flat rate charge. Section 9 Operation "A" has been rewritten to prohibit alcoholic beverages on the premises of operation without appropriate liquor licensure. This statement was revised based on Council's concern regarding a general provision prohibiting all intoxicating liquor on site. Site Clean Up Fee The site clean up fee was revised to reflect a charge of $500.00 for the first acre or portion thereof and $100.00 for each additional acre or portion thereof. This section was revised to address concerns that adequate funding be available in the event a site is not cleaned up adequately. These and all other monetary obligations associated with the carnival license will be established by a resolution that will accompany the second reading of the proposed ordinance. Motion by Mayor Gamec, seconded by Councilmember Anderson, to recommend City Council introduce the ordinance adding Section 7.14, "Carnivals" to Chapter 7 of the Ramsey City Code. Motion carded. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec and Chairperson Anderson. Voting No: Non~ Absent: None. Case #6: Administrative Policy - Vacation Donation Administrative Services Manager Pmitt Hottinger stated that this item was tabled at the August 24~ meeting due to the length of the Council Agenda. Several months ago, an employee was out of work due to an unanticipated illness and exhausted all of their accrued paid leave. Employees began requesting if they could donate some of their leave to employees in these types of cases. Staff researched the issue of voluntary donation policy for those employees who have exhausted all of their paid leave. A draft policy was presented to the Labor Management Committee, comprised of AFSCME members, the City Administrator, the Mayor, the AFSCME Business Agent and the Administrative Services Manager. On July 27~, following discussion and revisions, the Labor Management Committee requested the proposed policy be forwarded to the Personnel Committee for review. Ms. Pruitt Hottinger explained that the policy is a strictly voluntary program to allow interested employees the opportunity to donate vacation time to employees who are ill or injured, who qualify for Family Medical Leave and have exhausted all Personnel Committee/September 14, 1999 Page 5 of 7 32,
