<br />Councilmember Woestehoff asked about the water mains that need updating and if the timeline <br />for those align with the timeline of this project. <br /> <br />City Engineer/Interim Public Works Director Westby stated that this would be a four month project <br />and will be brought to Council at a later date. <br /> <br />The Council thanked Mr. Vollmer. <br /> <br />City Attorney Knaak added that at the next meeting he will address the question regarding <br />opportunities to expand the plant. <br />7.02: Adopt Ordinance #23-01 Amending City Code Section 26 Article XIX - Mobile Food <br />Units <br /> <br />City Administrator Hagen reviewed the staff report and updates made since the last meeting. He <br />shared the recommendation to waive the City Charter requirement to read the ordinance aloud and <br />adopt the ordinance implementing the changes. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woestehoff stated that he was opposed to not requiring mobile food units <br />operating on private property for a private event to obtain a license as it is hard to enforce a private <br />event versus a public event. <br /> <br />City Attorney Knaak explained that it is difficult to determine unless they could come up with a <br />definition of a private event. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woestehoff continued by saying that he does not want to make it so easy for these <br />mobile food units to serve in the City without requiring a license at private events out of respect <br />for the restaurant owners who are required to have one. <br /> <br />Councilmember Olson shared that he had a hard time imagining a mobile food unit in the City that <br />would only operate at private events. He stated that if they are going to be operating they will <br />likely have a license anyway. <br /> <br />Councilmember Howell shared her thought process on allowing a mobile food unit from another <br />city that is not licensed by Ramsey to be brought out to someone’s home. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove stated that she thinks of these private events as being on residential <br />property. <br /> <br />Councilmember Howell stated that she does not see this as a necessary clarification as a business <br />could host a private event for their employees. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Howell, seconded by Councilmember Musgrove, to waive the City <br />Charter requirement that the ordinance be read aloud and adopt Ordinance #23-01 amending City <br />Code Section 26 Article XIX - Mobile Food Units. <br /> <br />City Council / January 10, 2023 <br />Page 10 of 12 <br /> <br /> <br />
