Regular City Council Meeting Monday,August 7,2023 Page 12 forth every time. He was not sure if he had a direct answer but it was something that staff can continue to refine. Councilmember Schroeder thought the Council needed to define what a serious nuisance would be and what warrants immediate action. She explained it talked about when the City is inspecting the premises, the Ordinance indicates the City will give seventy-two hours prior to the inspection and she wondered if that was given. Mr. Trudgeon thought that is optional. Staff does provide notice on their regular inspections of when the City is coming and does that on all the City's businesses. This is to make sure that the right person is there when the City needs to be there to walk through. He did not know how often the City does it but occasionally staff does pop out to the site, especially if there is a complaint, but with a regular inspection, it is scheduled with the appropriate person at the site. Mayor Roe stated while looking at Waite Park's ordinance about the three-strike rule, he thought it might make sense for the City to simplify this by taking it back to the existing repeat nuisance call Ordinance, such as the first notice is for any month that triggers a fine under that repeat nuisance call ordinance, and the second notice is for the second such month within a certain look-back period, and the third notice is for the third such month within a certain look-back period. He liked the ability to have that immediate action as something that could be done, and it is still appealable. He did not think it would be unreasonable to have that and define it as clearly as they can but also give the City the discretion to apply it to things the City does not know yet that are going to come up.

Mayor Roe referenced the section of Waite Park's ordinance regarding lodging establishments, noting there is a long section about buildings that are used within a distance from a hospital or medical center used for patient's families for sleeping accommodations. He indicated he would like to remove that part because he did not think it pertained to Roseville unless that has to be in there as a part of State law. He did not think that applied to Roseville. Mayor Roe indicated on the transferability part, he agreed the City would want to make sure that the business cannot just continue to pass the license along. He noted there is some language in the City's liquor license statutes about a transfer requiring Council approval that could be used here. Mayor Roe thought this is a good starting point. He did want to get into the topic of minimum standards for operations,referencing Waite Park's Section 105.3,page 105-6, the A&B talking about requiring their tenants and occupants to sign a register and verify their identity. He knew the Council discussed that in relation to
