e . e 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 the City is, '4ff~/"rh Councilmember Malone asked Mr. Fritsinger ifhis official title is Clerk Administrator. Mr. Fritsinger stated that this was his official title, He noted that the League of Minnesota Cities has indicated that it technically does not matter what title is used for his position, so long as it is consistent. Mayor Probst stated that 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 places within the Ordinance where other titles have been used. With regard to page 1-9, subparagraph 4, Mayor Probst noted that this section refers to other agencies of the City. He wondered if the Code should specifically cover the share of the Lake Johanna Volunteer Fire Department, or should the 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 League of Minnesota Cities has addressed a number 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 be lower case. He also noted that on page 1-13, Section 120.04 does not make 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 stated that there really is no reason to list the Police or Sheriff Department. Councilmember Larson stated that, on page 1-5, subparagraph 12, the definition of "Pathway" and "Pedestrian way" is somewhat confusing. He suggested using the more commonly accepted term "trail." He noted that when the Code was originally written, pedestrians used trails almost exclusively. He also noted that the end of the subparagraph states "for the principal use of pedestrians." He felt that this should be changed to include other methods of non-motorized transportation. Mr. Fritsinger stated that there is a slight difference between these definitions and the definitions in the Zoning Ordinance. Mayor Probst asked ifthere was any reason not to make the definitions common in the Code and the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Fritsinger stated that there 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 stated that, although neither one is amended very often, the Zoning Ordinance is amended more often.
