. . . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JUNE 28,1999 19 Administer and Administer, and these terms have not all been caught. These need to be made consistent according to the type of organization tl1e City is. Councilmember Malone asked Mr. Fritsinger if his official titlc is Clerk Administrator. Mr. Fritsinger stated tl1at this was his official title. He noted that thc League of Minnesota Cities has indicated tl1at it technically does not matter what title is used for his position, so long as it is consistent. Mayor Probst stated tl1at he would prefer that the Ordinance use the title Administrator for Mr. Fritsinger's position. Mr. Fritsinger stated that this title is what has been used in the past, however, there are still placcs within tl1e Ordinance where other titles have been used. With regard to pagc 1-9, subparagraph 4, Mayor Probst noted that this section refers to otl1er agencies of the City. He wondered iftl1e Code should specifically cover the share ofthe Lake .Johanna Volunteer Firc Dcpartment, or should tl1e section be left as is since it will be brought up in later chapters. Mr. Fritsinger stated that including the Fire Department was not necessary. He indicated that the Leaguc of Minnesota Cities has addressed a numbcr of places where it states, "or other agencies as appointed by the City" and this covers the Fire Department. On page 1-9, subparagraph 5, Mayor Probst noted that the word "May" should bc lower case. He also noted that on page 1-13, Section 120.04 does not makc sense. He felt that something must have been missing in this sentence. Councilmember Malone stated that the words "shall continue" should be removed. On page 1-14, Mayor Probst noted that this final section identifies who is eligible to serve summons and he asked if the list should include the Police or Sheriff Department. Councilmember Larson statcd that there really is no reason to list the Police or Sheriff Department. Councilmembcr Larson stated that, on page 1-5, subparagraph 12, the definition of "Pathway" and "Pedestrian way" is somewhat confusing. He suggestcd using tl1e morc commonly accepted term "trail." He noted that when the Code was originally written, pedestrians used trails almost exclusivcly. He also noted that the end ofthe subparagraph states "for the principal use of pedestrians." He felt that this should be changed to include otl1er metl10ds of non-motorized transportation. Mr. Fritsinger stated that tl1ere is a slight difference between these dcfinitions and the definitions in the Zoning Ordinance. Mayor Probst asked if therc was any reason not to make tl1e definitions common in tl1e Code and the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Fritsinger stated that tl1ere was no reason for the definitions not to be the same. Councilmember Larson asked whether the Code or the Zoning Ordinance is amended more often. Mr. Fritsinger statcd that, although ncither one is amended very oftcn, the Zoning Ordinance is amended morc often.
