City Council Highlights - March 25 Consent Agenda Policy for the Recruitment, Application and Interview Process of Appointing City Board and Commission Members and Chair Member Term Rotations was pulled and moved to Council Business, becoming case three. All eight other items were approved unanimously. Council Business The first case was to Adopt Ordinance #25-04 Northstar Truck & RVParking - Rezoning and Site Plan Review - 15861 Jarvis St. NW. The property is split with the western portion in Elk River and the eastern portion in Ramsey. The applicant's business is leasing out parking spaces for semi - trucks, trailers, RVs, boats and some construction equipment. Ramsey City Code does not have a category to accurately describe this business use. The proposed solution is to rezone the property to Planned Unit Development (PUD) to match up with the applicable parts of Elk River's Zoning Code to have a uniform set of rules. Council adopted the ordinance with a vote of four to three. The second case was to Introduce Ordinance #25-06 Amending Chapter 26: Rental Residential Dwelling Units. The ordinance amends Chapter 26 regarding Rental Inspection requirements related to background checks, terminology corrections, and some remaining references to the former Crime -Free Housing Program that was terminated in late 2024. It also contains a provision authorizing the Council to adopt a policy document concerning inspections. The ordinance was introduced with a vote of five to two. The final case was to Adopt resolution #25-069 to Update the Policy for the Recruitment, Application and Interview Process of Appointing City Board and Commission Members and Chair Member Term Rotations. This case is to consider updating the policy for the Recruitment Application and Interview Process of Appointing City Board and Commission Members and Chair Member Term Rotations to eliminate restrictions on the number of consecutive Chair member terms.
