Individuals are asked to step up to the podium and speak clearly into the microphone. You are allowed 3 minutes to make your comments. The Council will not take action on items discussed during open forum; however, the Council may add the item to a future meeting agenda and ask city staff for follow-up.) VII. REGULAR AGENDA 1. The Council will consider a resolution ordering the preparation of an Assessment Roll, declaring the amount to be assessed, and setting the date for a public hearing for Year 2010 Delinquent Accounts. There are currently approximately $900,000 in unpaid utility charges, administrative citations, vacant building registrations, health and safety abatements, tree trimmings/removals, mowing and false alarm charges. This is higher than last year. Many of the charges will be paid before they are sent to Hennepin County on December 1. Recommend approval of the resolution. 2. The Council will consider the First Reading of an Ordinance repealing City Code Sections 610 (Food handling and vending), 615 (Regulation of lodging establishments), 625 (Public swimming pools), 630 (Trailer camps; mobile home parks), 660 (Tattoo, body piercing, body branding and body painting establishments), 1115 (Auto junk yards), 1140 (Dumps), and 1155 (Trailer camps). Since Crystal no longer has its own health authority and those regulatory responsibilities are generally either with Hennepin County or the state Department of Agriculture, the ordinances regulating health-related businesses are no longer necessary. Recommend approval of the first reading of the ordinance repealing these sections of the City Code. Crystal City Council Meeting Agenda August 17, 2010 Page 3 of 4 3.
