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 /> <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 /> <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 /> <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 /> <br />Councilmember Specht agreed. <br /> <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 /> <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 /> <br />Zoning Code Enforcement Officer Swalchick said this was just in the definitions section of the <br />code. <br /> <br />The consensus of the Council was to move forward with the Nuisance Code updates, while tabling <br />the section pertaining to trees. <br /> <br />3.
