. The Council being a five-member political body, having staff or some non-elected person hear appeals may help de-politicize the hearing process. IV. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The City Code contains different Council approaches to the question of who holds hearings or hears appeals. I�� the area of tobacco compliance checks (which is similar to liquor compliance in the sense that the Police do routine compliance checks for tobacco sales to under-age persons as well as for liquor sales), the Code says that the City Manager first holds a hearing and aggrieved persons may appeal the Manager's decision to the CounciL City Code � 306.06.D (at- tached). When we talked about holding hearings or appeals regarding dangerous animals, the Council indicated they did not want to hear appeals at all but preferred that the Police Chief or the City Manager or his designee hear those appeals. And despite the practice de- scribed above, the Code regarding liquor compliance checks speaks to the Council hearing appeals and does not mention a role for staff beyond issuing the citation. City Code � 302.15 (attached). In the area of stop signs and no parking signs, state statute refers to the Council taking action regarding tl�e placement of such signs but a Roseville City Council Resolution delegates that Council authority to the Traffic Safety Committee consisting of the City Manager, Police Chief, and Public Works Director. Roseville Resolution 6946 (at- tached). So the Council has chosen several approaches to such situations. V. REOUEST City Council direction about your desires respecting appeals from liquor compliance cita- tions. Once the City Council has given direction, Staff will work with the City Attorney to deter- mine � the Code needs to be changed to accurately reflect Council direction and, � so, we will bring any necessary Code changes back to you for adoption. r, f • � �� � �+'�-'� ��
