Regular City Council Meeting Monday,November 6, 2023 Page 2 Mr. Trudgeon explained staff has let the new license holder know that this suspension would have to be served under their license and staff did speak at length with the City Attorney to make sure this was appropriate for the City to do and was told it was. Mayor Roe asked if there was anything in the documentation that the City is doing with the transferee as to knowing that the suspension is a part of the scenario. Mr. Trudgeon thought it would be included in the letter sent to the applicant. Mayor Roe reviewed public hearing protocol and opened and closed the public hearing at approximately 6:41 p.m. for the purpose of receiving public input on the above-referenced transfer of liquor license; with no one coming forward. Etten moved, Strahan seconded, approval of an On-Sale Wine and 3.2% Liquor License for ZL Eats, LLC dba Szechuan's, Pending Submittal of any Outstanding Items, and Ordering the 5 Day Suspension Once the License is Issued. Roll Call Ayes: Strahan, Etten, Schroeder, Groff, and Roe. Nays: None. b. Consider an Abatement Request for Unresolved City Code Violations at 167 Wewers Road City Manager Trudgeon asked to remove this item from the agenda because the junk/debris is being cleaned up which resolves the violation. c. Public Improvement Hearing for County Road B Reconstruction Project Assistant Public Works Director Jennifer Lowry briefly highlighted this item as detailed in the Request for Council Action and related attachments dated November 6, 2023. Mayor Roe asked for clarification on the amount of the project being assessed,why the project is unable to be one hundred percent funded with MSA funds or the City's own street fund, what gap is left, and why is there a gap. Ms. Lowry explained it is applying the City's special benefit policy that calls for the City to assess for these improvements. There are different assessments such as if residents are requesting certain improvements versus the City bringing a project forward. There are benefits that would be seen to these individual properties and the policy asks that those properties pay a portion of the project costs because they will see a benefit to their properties, for example, when they sell. Mayor Roe wanted to make sure the assessment was not for a design element that would be above and beyond an amount where it would need to be assessed.
