e lar ity o ci eeti Monday, October 22, 2007 age 1 ual cost estimates; and funding sources (i.e., Street Infrastructure Fund; Pathway and Parking Lot Maintenance Budgeted funds; and/or assessments of 25% to benefiting property owners). Councilmember Rae asked if sealcoating was also included as an annual mainte- nance cost and activity in the PMP. Mr. Schwartz responded affirmatively, and advised that staff would be returning to the Council in January or February of 2008, once all recommended streets had been identified, and to seek approval to go to bid on the project. Roe moved, Pust seconded, approval of the 2008 Public Works Pavement Man- agement Plan (PMP) as presented in the staff report dated October 22, 2007. Roll Cail Ayes: Ihlan; Roe; Kough; Pust; and Klausing. Nays: None. c. Resolution and Ordinance -Consider Adopting a Resolution Revising the Prosecuting Attorney Contract and Enacting an Ordinance Amending Title 4, Sections 407.05, City Council May Enforce: and 407.06, Powers of Officers Building Codes Coordinator Don Munson had provided a bench handout respond- ing to questions asked by Councilmember Dan Roe following receipt of the Council packet last week, along with a list of current and ongoing problem land use enforcement cases. Mr. Munson noted that staff had previously been directed by the City Council to provide proposed changes to the prosecuting attorney contract and City Council to speed resolution of land use violations (those requiring the issuance of a Ramsey County Court Citation); and more clearly define City Code enforcement authority. The staff report addressed proposed changes; fiscal implications; and staff rec- ommendations; along with a draft resolution and draft ordinance as applicable. Discussion included clarifying when the City Council would still be involved (abatement process issues); rationale for pursuing a quicker citation process, rather than deferring the process for public hearing before the City Council; pref- erence of most property owners not in compliance to resolve an issue prior to the case being heard before a judge; and the habitual nature of most problem proper- ties. Ihlan moved, Klausing seconded, adoption of a resolution amending the current prosecuting attorney contract to eliminate Item Number 18 related to land use en- forcement.
