Mr. Goodrich noted that the City does not have an ordinance in place regulating the issuance of temporary on-sale non-intoxicating liquor licenses but the City does have the authority to issue same per State Statute. Motion by Councilmember Peterson and seconded by Councilmember DeLuca to adopt Resolution #89-09-246 granting a temporary on-sale non-intoxicating liquor license to the Ramsey Lions Club. Motion carded. Voting Yes: Mayor Reimann, Councilmembers DeLuca and Peterson. Voting No: None. Absent: Councilmembers Cich and Pearson. Mayor Reimann requested that in the future, the Ramsey Lions Club initiate requests for various permits in ample time to be a planned item on the agenda versus being addressed as an add-on or at special meetings. Case //9: Request To Waive Per Meeting Charge For City Facilities; Case Of Boy Scout Troop 362: Mr. Hartley stated that the City policy, which was adopted by resolution, is to charge organizations a per meeting fee for use of City facilities unless they are a government function. Troop 362 is requesting that the $5/meeting fee be waived. Councilmember DeLuca stated that he feels the fee should be waived for any public organization that works with the youth and young adults in Ramsey. The consensus of the City Council was to table action on Troop 362's request to waive the meeting room fee and to direct City Staff to provide the Council with information regarding the City's policy regarding use of City facilities, community sign, athletic fields and minutes relating to the adoption of these policies. Case #10: Authorization To Amend City Comprehensive Plan: Mr. Otto stated that as part of the MUSA expansion effort, the City Council adopted resoltuions which set forth the required ordinance revisions and directed staff to revise appropriate sections of the City's comprehensive plan so that zoning ordinances would be consistent with it. Mr. Otto presented a resolution which establishes the costs associated with amending the various components of the comprehensive plan. Mr. Otto proceeded to review the resolution with Council. Councilmember Peterson noted that the proposed cost for the component amendments is $29,000 and inquired as to why the project was not advertised for bids. Mr. Hartley noted that when it comes to professional services, the City does not have to advertise for bids. In this particular case, Hakanson Anderson is internally acquainted with Ramsey and their rates are very reasonable and more than competitve. Councilmember Peterson stated that he has to question a situation where the persons writing a project are the same ones that will benefit from the project. City Council/September 12, 1989 Page 8 of 9
