ORDINANCE NO 2000-1 ADOPTED, AN ORDINANCE REPLACING SECTION 1340 WITH SECTION 1341 - PHYSICAL CULTURE AND HEALTH SERVICES AND CLUBS Chief Siitari noted that Council expressed concern over a potential inability to verify the revenues of businesses requesting an exemption from licensing when they granted first reading to the ordinance amendment eliminating individual licenses for massage therapists. He said language had been added that staff believes adequately addresses their concern. The new language allows the City to require a certification from a Certified Public Accountant thus corroborating the validity of exemption requests. I Page 3 MinutesEdina Citv Council/Februarv 1,2000 I Member Hovland made a motion granting second reading to Ordinance No. 2000-1 as follows: EDINA ORDINANCE NO. 2000-1 AN ORDINANCE REPEALING SECTION 1340 OF THE CITY CODE AND REPLACING IT WITH A NEW SECTION 1341 PHYSICAL CULTURE AND HEALTH SERVICES AND CLUBS THE CI" COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDINA ORDAINS: Section 1. Section 1340 of the City Code is repealed in its entirety. Section 2. The City Code is amended by adding a new Section 1341 as follows: Section 1341 - Physical*Culture and Health Services and Clubs 1341.01 shall have the stated meanings: Definitions. Unless the context otherwise clearly indicates, the following terms Any business which provides male or female accompaniment Escort Service. services to its customers for a fee or other valuable consideration.

I 1341.02 Business License Required. Subd. 1 Limiting Business Licenses. It is found and determined that the type of business activity subject to being licensed under this Section is particularly subject to abuse which may take a number of forms contrary to the morals, health, safety and general welfare of the community. Further, it is found that control of these abuses requires intensive efforts of the Police Department as well as other departments of the City. These efforts exceed those required to control and regulate other business activities licensed by the City. This concentrated use of City services tends to detract from and reduce the level of service available to the rest of the I Page 4 MinutesBdina Citv Council/February 1,2000 community and thereby diminishes the ability of the City to promote the general health, welfare, morals and safety of the community. - 7, Therefore, the number of business licenses which may be in force under this Section’at any one time $&all not exceed four.

He noted that staff believes the regulations relative to churches, schools, golf courses and public buildings may be more restrictive than necessary. Current regulations allow one sign of not more than 24 square feet. This necessitates several entities to request temporary signs. Mr. Larsen stated the proposed amendment to the sign regulations should allow for better communication and reduce the number of temporary sign requests. Mr. Larsen explained the second portion of the amendment dealt with the definition of a clear view. He noted that the current definition is ambiguous whether it can be allied to any intersection of a driveway and street. The new definition clarifies the applicability. Following a brief discussion Member Kelly introduced the following Ordinance, and moved its adoption waiving second reading: EDINA ORDINANCE NO. 2000-3 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 460 OF THE CITY CODE TO PROVIDE FOR ADDITIONAL SIGNS FOR CHURCHES, SCHOOLS, GOLF COURSES AND PUBLIC FACILITIES; AND TO REVISE THE DEFINITION AND REGULATIONS FOR THE CLEAR VIEW ZONE THE CITY OF THE CITY OF EDINA ORDAINS: Sectionl. following regulations: Subd. 1 of Subsection 460.05 of the City Code is amended by adding the TVpe Maximum Number Maximum Maximum Area Height Building Identification Wall: 1 Per Building 24 sq. ft.

COMMUNITY CENTER PROTECT PRESENTED Manager Hughes reviewed the January 24, 2000, meeting attended by Members Hovland, Kelly, and himself with Phyllis Kohler, Frank Bennett and Ken Dragseth of the School District. He noted that the City and Edina School District have undertaken a study to determine the feasibility of constructing new recreational facilities and renovating others for use by the entire community. If this proves feasible then consensus was an election would need to be held before June 13, 2000, the project scope needs definition, and that the School Board and City Council need to hold a joint meeting. Mr. Hughes stated he believes the City should draft a memo of understanding for facilities' operation. In his opinion the issues facing the Council included whether they want to undertake a referendum; if a referendum is held, what elements of the project should be included; and the timing of a referendum (Spring 2000, Primary or General Elections of 2000, or Spring 2001). He concluded that it would be recommended that a public opinion survey be completed with results presented to the Council by early March 2000. The Council discussed the various aspects of holding an election. They will be considering whether to: construct a new fieldhouse at the Comunity Center; improve existing I Page 14 I I. , %, f (* *.

Also discussed was the possibility of including a question regarding the potential operating costs of a new Senior Center; who pays for expense of conducting election; and allocation of operating costs for new and expanded facilities. The following concerns were expressed: inclusion of item that could not be used by the City (four classrooms at Concord School and Kuhlman Field); timing of the referendum; the locations proposed for additional gymnasiums; making sure that any and all components included in a potential referendum are legal; the referendum’s effect on the City’s bond rating; use of artificial turf; and new operating costs. Following the discussion, February 15, 2000,5:00 P.M., was set for a joint meeting between the School District and the Council. In addition, the Council directed staff to proceed with a public opinion poll as quickly as possible. Mr. Hughes indicated that staff would work with the School District to have Decision Resources perform the poll. “RESOLUTION ADOPTED APPROVING PUBLIC AUCTION OF TAX FORFEITED PROPERTIES Member Hovland introduced the following resolution seconded by Member Kelly and moved its adoption: WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Edina has received from the County of Hennepin a list of lands in said municipality which became the property of the State of Minnesota for non-payment of property taxes, which said list was dated December 6,1999, Non-conservation Classification List 1114NC.
