<br />. <br /> <br />Arden Hills Council 5 November 30, 1992 <br /> <br />UNFINISH~Jl AND.~E.W BUSINESS. <br /> <br />R~QJ;:lV.~_R.E_QQM!1~lfDl',nQ.lfLREGll.@.lJJQ <br />HQENS~l\.JtlL1\U~W:!.ESS FEES FROM <br />TRJLf.l.N1\.NCE QOMMI'l;'TJ:E <br /> <br />Councilmember Malone reported that the Finance Committee has <br />been working on a license and business fee structure for <br />months, and has combed through ordinances in an effort to <br />compile a list of fees, simplify the list, explore new <br />avenues of potential revenue, and delete obsolete fees (such <br />as license for a rendering plant which is no longer in <br />operation). He recommended that Council receive the Finance <br />Committee's proposed license and fee structure <br />recommendations and direct staff to review the structure in <br />order to have the new fees in place at the beginning of <br />1993. <br /> <br />With regard to the proposed institution of a Fire Inspection <br />Fee, Councilmember Malone explained that one of the <br />advantages to the Fire Marshall doing inspections would be <br />. to alert the Fire Marshall/Department of any hazardous <br />materials that exist within the City. <br /> <br />MOTION: Malone moved, seconded by Hicks, to receive the Finance <br />Committee's recommendations on license and permit fees <br />and direct staff to review the recommendations. Motion <br />carried unanimously (4-0). (Mayor Sather had stepped <br />away momentarily and did not participate in the vote.) <br /> <br />I!ll>C!LfLSI_Q1L:... TRAFnC ALTERNATIVES TO <br />rLOSING T.H. 51 & OLD SNELLING AVENUE <br /> <br />Councilmember Hicks drew attention to the minutes of the <br />informational meeting held November 23, 1992 on the subject <br />of T.H. 51 and Snelling Avenue Median Closing. Hicks <br />explained that there were four alternatives presented by <br />MnDOT for consideration, those being: <br /> <br />1. A frontage road from Old Snelling to Lydia. <br />2. Reconfiguration of the intersection of Old Snelling, <br />Hamline and T.H. 51, turning this into a right angle <br />and opening this intersection with a signal light. <br />3. Permanent closure of the median. <br />4. Widening of the County Road E bridge. <br /> <br />Hicks added that a comparison of traffic counts before and <br />... after the median closure indicate there has been no <br />substantial affect in traffic levels due to the closure of <br />the median. <br />
