Regular Agenda 7.1 The Council will consider approval of disbursements of more than $25,000 submitted by the finance department to the City Council, a list that is on file in the office of the finance department. Recommend approval of disbursements over $25,000. 7.2 The Council will consider a resolution awarding the contract for construction of the Crystal Cove Aquatic Center pool. The city received multiple bids in response to the Crystal Cove Aquatic Center construction project advertisement. The pool portion of the project is split in three parts – Pool Construction, Site Clearing and Earthwork, and Concrete (deck) Work. Overall, the lowest responsible bids all came in favorably compared to the estimate. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the resolution awarding the contracts to Global Specialty Contractors ($2,137,700), Kevitt Excavating ($199,000), and Crosstown Masonry ($165,000) for the construction of improvements at the Crystal Cove Aquatic Center pool. 7.3 The Council will consider a resolution authorizing the modernization of the elevator at City Hall. The Long-Term Plan includes $200,000 in 2024 for elevator modernization at City Hall. City Hall was constructed originally in 1964 and then re-modeled in 1994. The existing elevator is a 1993 model and requires modernization for several reasons, most importantly safety, ADA compliance, and availability of parts. After the elevator was inspected last year, the city was advised that the modernization should take place soon as parts for the elevator are no longer available and safety and reliability were becoming more serious issues. Staff recommends approval of the resolution awarding the contract for elevator modernization to Kone Inc. 7.4 The Council will consider a resolution authorizing the contract for construction materials testing for the 2024 Utility Reconstruction Project. At its February 6 meeting, the Council approved the plans and specifications for the 2024 Utility Reconstruction Project. As with all infrastructure improvement projects, materials testing is done to ensure the quality of the construction. For the 2024 Utility project, staff recommends awarding the materials testing contract to the low bidder, WSB. 7.5 The Council will consider a resolution declaring several diseased trees on private properties as public nuisances and order them abated. As in the past, the city has been working to have private property owners remove the subject diseased trees. Unfortunately, the property owners have either failed to comply with this demand or are unable to remove the trees themselves. Staff is requesting the City Council formally declare the diseased trees as public nuisances, so the city can abate the nuisances. Staff recommends adopting the resolution declaring the specific trees as public nuisances and ordering their abatement. 7.6 The Council will consider two actions regarding an ordinance prohibiting the use of cannabis products in public places: a. Second reading and adoption of the ordinance amending the Crystal City Code to prohibit the use of cannabis in public places. Page 3 of 3 b. Adoption of a resolution approving the summary language for the publication of said ordinance. At its April 2 meeting, the council approved the first reading of the proposed ordinance.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Crystal City Council hereby awards the contract for Construction Materials Testing for the 2024 Utility Reconstruction Project to WSB in the amount of $26,331.00 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mayor and/or City Manager are hereby authorized to sign said contract. Adopted by the Crystal City Council this 16th day of April, 2024. Jim Adams, Mayor ATTEST: _________________________________________ Christina Serres, City Clerk 7.4 Memorandum DATE: April 16, 2024 TO: City Council FROM: Ben Perkey, PE, Engineering Project Manager Brad Fortin, Parks Superintendent SUBJECT: Declare disease trees public nuisances and order them abated Summary City Code Section 2015 states that the City has determined that the health of the shade trees within the city limits is threatened by shade tree diseases. It has further determined that the loss of shade trees growing upon public and private property would substantially depreciate the value of property within the city and impair the safety, good order, general welfare and convenience of the public. Over the last few years the City has been working with around a hundred property owners to get diseases trees removed. Of the properties contacted over the last year, fourteen properties with confirmed shade tree diseases have not responded to any City correspondence or removed the diseased tree(s). As of April 1, 2024, the trees had not been removed. Since the City has contacted the properties multiple times over the last 6 months and received no action, they are coming to Council for abatement consideration. City Code provides a process for which the Council needs to declare these diseased trees to be nuisances so that the City can remove them. The process states that the City must notify the property owner, provide the property owner the opportunity to speak directly to the Council at the Council meeting, after which point the Council may take action to declare the tree a nuisance and order it abated. Attached to this memo are the notification letters of the Council meeting. The properties have received other correspondence from the City prior to the attached letters.

The violation notice was originally mailed on 09/12/2023, and then mailed again 02/22/2024 with a copy being hand delivered to the property that same week.

The prohibition applied to those areas defined in the interim ordinance as being a public place, which was limited to public parks, rights-of-way, or city owned parking lots. The prohibition was temporary and directed staff to review and make recommendations regarding a permanent ordinance to address this issue. As part of the new cannabis legislation, local governments were expressly authorized by Minnesota Statutes, section 152.0263, subdivision 5 to adopt an ordinance to prohibit cannabis use in public places. Instead of attempting to define what constitutes a “public place,” the legislature instead set out what could not be considered a public place: (1) a private residence, including the person’s curtilage or yard; (2) private property not generally accessible by the public, unless the person is explicitly prohibited from consuming cannabis flower, cannabis products, lower-potency hemp edibles, or hemp-derived consumer products on the property by the owner of the property; or (3) the premises of an establishment or event licensed to permit on-site consumption. By implication, any place in the City that is not one of the above could be considered a public place. When discussing the interim ordinance, the City Council agreed with staff’s comments that attempting to apply the prohibition to all other areas of the City was too broad and, instead, it should be limited to publicly owned places like parks, streets, and public parking lots. 7.6(a) As directed in the interim ordinance, staff has considered the City options as to the scope of the prohibition. As previously discussed, the cannabis legislation already prohibits the use of cannabis products through inhalation of smoke, aerosol, or vapor at any place where smoking is prohibited under Minnesota Statues, section 144.414 (Clean Indoor Air Act). Minn. Stat. § 342.09, subd. 1(b)(3). Therefore, staff recommends the permanent prohibition on the public use of cannabis continue to be limited to same publicly owned places. The attached ordinance places the prohibition in a new Section 635 of the City Code and contains the same prohibition imposed by the interim ordinance. The enclosed ordinance is before the City Council for a second reading. Feel free to let me know if there are any questions. 7.6(a) CITY OF CRYSTAL ORDINANCE NO. 2024-___ AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CRYSTAL CITY CODE TO PROHIBIT THE USE OF CANNABIS PRODUCTS IN PUBLIC PLACES The City of Crystal ordains: ARTICLE I.
