At a June work session, the Council discussed changes to Section 1200 of the City Code providing for taprooms and the new “Bloody Mary” law for Sunday sales. The Council approved the first reading of the ordinance making these changes at its June 16 meeting. Recommend approval of the second reading of this ordinance. 7.3 The Council will consider resolutions regarding Data Practices policy and designees.

Crystal City Council Meeting Agenda July 14, 2015 One bid was received for this year’s alley reconstruction project (in the Welcome Park neighborhood) and was slightly higher than the engineer’s estimate. Recommend approval of the resolution awarding the contract to Ron Kassa. 7.5 The Council will consider a resolution awarding a contract for City Hall boiler replacement. The 2015 PIR includes $95,000 for replacement of the City Hall boiler as it is 21 years old and the sole source of heat for the building. Two quotes were received. Although the low bid is slightly higher than the budgeted amount, the purchase will be eligible for a rebate which will bring the cost within budget. Recommend approval of the resolution awarding the contract to the low bidder, UHL. 7.6 The Council will consider a resolution approving the Final Plat of Gaulke Pond Homes. Late last year, the Council approved the preliminary plat of the 4 acre site comprised of 3908 and 3924 Douglas Drive plus some 39th Avenue vacated right-of-way. The Council’s approval was based on conditions recommended by the Planning Commission, including resolving curb cut concerns with Hennepin County. That issue has been resolved and the developer is proceeding with the final plat. Recommend approval of the final plat, subject to findings and conditions outlined in the staff report. 7.7 The Council will consider first reading of an ordinance amending Section 425 to repeal the point-of-sale inspection requirement. At its June 16 work session, the Council discussed repeal of the point of sale inspection requirements of Section 425 of the City Code. Assuming the Council approves the first reading on July 14 and the second reading on August 18, the repeal will be effective September 26, 2015. Inspection orders prior to September 26 will still be enforced, due to liability issues. Recommend approval of the first reading of the ordinance amending Section 425 of the City Code to repeal the point of sale inspection requirements. 7.8 The Council will consider a resolution withdrawing from Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council effective July 31, 2015. The City Council has had several work session discussions regarding the status of the city’s participation in NWHHSC. Based on the Council’s discussion, recommend approval of the resolution withdrawing from NWHHSC, effective July 31, 2015. 7.9 The Council will consider the 2016 West Metro Fire-Rescue District budget. According to the WMFRD Joint Powers Agreement, the budget must be adopted by the WMFRD Board at its annual meeting in June (June 17, 2015) and each city must approve the budget by July 31.
