City Attorney Anderson noted that, since those studies were referenced but not presented, that the re- cord remain open for receipt of those studies and sources, as identified by Ms. Cavanaugh and requested by Councilmembers, and being relied upon by indi- vidual Councilmembers on which to base a portion of their findings. CUP Criteria 6.6: Even though part of the regulatory scheme, the Council ma- jority was not convinced that all thefts were reported, with pawnshops creat- ing an opportunity for additional thefts and related crime. CUP Criteria 6.6: Perceptions that a pawnshop and similar businesses were considered highly regulated functions, increasing the necessity for police calls in the vicinity of a public school, putting children more at risk. CUP Criteria 6.6: The perception that the addition of another pawnshop in the community would have a negative impact on city resources, calling for more police activity for monitoring, not just responding to incidents; with one per- cent of a pawnshop business indicated to be receipt of stolen merchandise, representing a higher percentage than a general business operation. Pust moved, Roe seconded, directed staff to provide written notice to the appli- cant extending the 60-day review period for the Request by Red Dog Holdings LLC, d/b/a Cash-N-Pawn for a Conditional Use Permit to allow a Pawn Shop at 2181 — 2195 Snelling Avenue (PF08-014); and directed staff and the City Attor- ney`s office to draft a Resolution formally outlining findings for denial. Roll Call [60-day extension] Ayes: Ihlan; Roe; Pust; and Klausing. Nays: None. Mayor Klausing opined that a future review and discussion of density and place- ment of such uses made sense in the regulatory scheme; however, didn't support such a finding as a basis for turning down this request. Roll Call [motion to deny] Ayes: Ihlan; Roe; and Pust. Nays: Klausing. Motion carried. 13. c. Discussion on Council Liaisons Councilmember Roe had requested in January of 2008, discussion of City Council liaison positions. Staff provided a comprehensive list of current staff and City Council memberships and appointments. Councilmember Roe questioned whether the City Council wanted to have more formalized relationships with any other organizations.
