ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JUNE 28,1999 22 With regard to the note in Section 300.08 on page 3-3, Councilmember Malone stated that since the City does not have a health officer, the Code should refer to the County Health Officer in all places. ..j~ '~. Mayor Probst asked Mr. Fritsinger to explain the notes on pages 3-6 and 3-7. Mr. Fritsinger stated that most of the notes were based on questions staff had for the League of Minnesota Cities, With regard to paragraph G on page 3-7, Mayor Probst noted that the City recently passed a new Tobacco Ordinance. With regard to the note in paragraph K on page 3-8, Councilmember Malone noted that the City has a Mining Ordinance and stated that the reference to an Excavating Contractor could be removed. Mr. Fritsinger agreed and noted that this reference had come from the re-write of the City's original set of Ordinances, however, he could not find an Excavating Contractor listed in the Code book. When he had asked the League of Minnesota Cities if this was something that should be added, they had responded by indicating that they did not know where this reference had come from either. Councilmember Larson stated that on page 3-4, in the middle of the first paragraph, it states, "...any officer or employee of the City..." It seemed to him that the City is often relying on other people to do some of the inspections which would otherwise be done by the City. He suggested that this statement indicate any officer of the City, or as otherwise appointed. Councilmember Larson stated that on page 3-5 there was no difference between paragraphs C and D. He felt that paragraph B covered the intent of paragraphs C and D. . On page 3-7, paragraph J, Councilmember Larson asked why heating, ventilating and air conditioning and gas installer businesses were singled out as opposed to any other business, Mr, Fritsinger stated that there is a different process required for the licensing of these items. Mayor Probst asked why General Contractors was not included in this section. He thought perhaps this was what paragraph K, Excavating contractor was referring to. Councilmember Malone asked if the City provides licensing to General Contractors. Mr. Fritsinger stated that the City does provide this licensing, He indicated that anyone who wants to do business within the community must be licensed, He agreed that General Contractors should be included in this section and he would speak with the League of Minnesota Cities on how to address this issue, Mayor Probst asked if, on pages 3-8 and 3-9, paragraphs P and T should be removed since these businesses have been zoned out of the City. Councilmember Larson asked ifit was likely that a taxicab business would be started in the City of Arden Hills. Mr. Fritsinger explained that other communities, such as Saint Louis Park, would license every taxicab that services the community. The City of Arden Hills does not do this. Mayor Probst stated that the City would not want to license taxicab services, as this would become a zoning issue. With regard to page 3-9, paragraph V, Mayor Probst asked what a Rap Parlor is, Mr. Fritsinger stated that a Rap Parlor falls into a similar category as a Massage Parlor. Councilmember Larson . noted that the term "Rap Parlor" comes from the 1960's and 1970's, Mayor Probst asked if the Adult Zoning Ordinance supersedes this section ofthe Code. Mr. Fritsinger stated that it does.
