The Council will consider the second reading and adoption of an ordinance amending Chapters 10 – 20 of the City Code and a resolution approving its summary publication. At its June 4 and 18 work sessions, the City Council reviewed substantive corrections to the remainder of the City Code, primarily in Chapters 10 – 12, and most of the amendments are in Chapter 12 regarding liquor licensing. The City Council approved the first reading of the ordinance making these changes on June 18. Recommend approval of the second reading of the ordinance amending Chapters 10 – 20 of the City Code and approval of the resolution approving summary publication of this ordinance. 7.4. The Council will consider an amendment to the West Metro Fire-Rescue District joint powers agreement. As part of the West Metro Fire-Rescue District’s 2018 audit, the WMFRD Board discussed the need to update the joint powers agreement and bylaws for the District so the disbursements language matches current State law. In the 2017 the Legislature eliminated the written claim on disbursements requirement for home rule charter cities of the second, third or fourth class but not for statutory cities. Crystal is a charter city and New Hope is a statutory city. The state law allows a joint powers organization to follow requirements outline in the joint powers agreement and the District is already following the new law for charter cities. At its July 10 meeting, WMFRD Board approved the amended Bylaws making this change, subject to the Crystal and New Hope city councils approving the amended Joint Powers Agreement. Recommend approval of the amended Joint Powers Agreement. 8. Announcements a.
