they are able to continue to do this work, and if they do not meet the requirements then these are <br /> addressed. He added that he has also had compliance issues with licensed tree trimmers. He noted <br /> they also require contractors to be licensed in the City for building purposes. <br /> Councilmember Olson asked how this would be different from asking if someone was licensed in <br /> the City versus licensed in the State. He stated that the State license just seems to verify that the <br /> tree trimmer has a State license. <br /> Zoning Code Enforcement Officer Swalchick suggested tabling the tree licensing questions and <br /> have Senior Planner Chris Anderson attend a meeting to address all of these questions. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove asked if a majority of cities in the area and in the State require city <br /> licenses for this. She noted that if the State is licensing these businesses and the City is just <br /> confirming the license, they would just be redoing what the State has already done. She stated she <br /> would like to hear from Senior Planner Anderson and get more data to make a decision on this <br /> matter. <br /> Councilmember Specht agreed. <br /> Councilmember Howell stated that if data is brought forward that shows that other cities require <br /> these licenses, she would like to look at just the cities in the County and other cities surrounding <br /> Ramsey in the north metro area. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove shared she had a question that she previously addressed with Zoning <br /> Code Enforcement Officer Swalchick concerning agricultural zones and noted she did not see it in <br /> the materials reviewed. She asked if this was in a different code that had already been reviewed. <br /> Zoning Code Enforcement Officer Swalchick said this was just in the definitions section of the <br /> code. <br /> The consensus of the Council was to move forward with the Nuisance Code updates,while tabling <br /> the section pertaining to trees. <br /> 3.
