OPEN FORUM FOR CITIZEN INPUT Mayor Ryan opened the Open Forum at 7:37 p.m. Harlan Wells, 2951 124th Circle NE, President of the Village Carriage North Home Owners Association (VCNHOA) and presented a petition to the City to post permanent “no parking” signs on Edison Street NE from North Marina Circle west to the center median and the intersection of 123rd Circle NE. He stated the area has become overflow parking for the beach and when vehicles are parked there it becomes impassable for emergency vehicles. He stated they are requesting signs identical to the ones on Dunkirk (No Parking - June 1 to Labor Day-10:00 AM to 8:00 PM) be placed on Edison Street from North Marina Circle to west of the second center median and the entire length of 123rd Circle NE and 124th Circle NE. He stated these streets are used for overflow parking for the beach and become one lane streets that are difficult for cars to navigate as well as causing concerns with trash. He noted there is a safety concern for pedestrians since there is no sidewalk access to the park. He noted the association proposes to issue the residents colored vehicle identification cards for visitors or additional cars that are parked on the street during the prohibited hours to aid emergency responders in identifying residents’ vehicles. Councilmember Bourke suggested the petition be brought to a Council workshop and asked staff if something can be done this year. City Manager Arneson noted there are only two weeks left of the swimming season for this year so this will be a discussion for 2017. Councilmember Clark suggested the Park Board research the issue and asked Mr. Wells to attend that meeting. Mr. Wells requested permanent signs be placed at both entrances. There being no further input, Mayor Ryan closed the Open Forum at 7:54 p.m. Discussed. City of Blaine Page 2 City Council Minutes - Final August 4, 2016 8. ADOPTION OF AGENDA Adopted as amended, moving Item 12.6 forward. 9. 8:00 P.M. - PUBLIC HEARING AND ITEMS SET FOR A CERTAIN TIME 10. APPROVAL OF CONSENT AGENDA: Moved by Councilmember Swanson, seconded by Councilmember King, that the following be approved: Motion adopted unanimously. Aye: 6 - Mayor Ryan, Councilmember Swanson, Councilmember Bourke, Councilmember Clark, Councilmember King and Councilmember Hovland 10.-1 MO 16-072 SCHEDULE OF BILLS PAID Approved 10.-2 MO 16-073 APPROVE A VENDING TRUCK LICENSE FOR EL GORDO PALETAS, MARIA SOSA, OWNER/OPERATOR, 124 113TH SQUARE NE Approved 10.-3 MO 16-070 AUTHORIZE TEMPORARY REMOVAL OF PARKING RESTRICTIONS ON 103RD LANE AND NATIONAL STREET FOR A CENTENNIAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL EVENT ON OCTOBER 5, 2016 (RAIN DATE: OCTOBER 12, 2016) Approved 10.-4 RES 16-123 RESOLUTION APPROVING MASTER SUBSCRIBER AGREEMENT FOR MINNESOTA COURT DATA SERVICES FOR GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES Adopted ADMINISTRATION Mayor Ryan moved agenda item 12.6 to follow the Consent Agenda. 12.-6 ORD 16-2354 SECOND READING City of Blaine Page 3 City Council Minutes - Final August 4, 2016 AMENDING DIVISON 3. - SPECIFIC USE OF STORMWATER PONDS, ADDING SEC. 34-523. - STORMWATER POND AERATION PERMIT OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF BLAINE Stormwater Manager Hafner stated Council suggested amended language be included to not be allowed in ponds with a design permanent pool elevation of less than 3 foot of depth instead of the proposed 5 foot of depth. He stated staff recommends against this amendment because most fountains and aerators draw from depths of more than three feet. He stated this action is counterproductive to the purpose of the ponds which is to allow the sediments and pollutants to settle at the pond bottom, out of the water column and prevented from being transported downstream to surface waters. He stated staff strongly encourages retaining the language that restricts the depth to five feet. Councilmember Bourke asked about the differences between fountains and aerators. Stormwater Manager Hafner explained that fountains with larger motors draw water from the bottom to thrust the water up in the air and aerators/circulators draw from the sides to circulate the water and keep the water clear of algae. He noted most ponds are four to five feet in depth. Councilmember Swanson identified four-five ponds in City parks that need clean-up and inquired about the possibility of installing aerators in City ponds. Councilmember Clark suggested staff only address the four ponds that have been identified for clean-up. Mayor Ryan asked about the use of rubber liners placed on the bottom of the pond. Stormwater Manager Hafner replied some accumulation will still go on top of a liner with the discharge of surface water; although a liner would inhibit the biological treatment of pollutants. Councilmember Clark suggested fountain permits have a disclaimer that state permits are subject to reversal should it be deemed necessary by the DNR or other governmental agency. Councilmember King stated the disclaimer should state the person seeking the permit has to obtain all necessary permits. Councilmember Bourke commented the person applying for the permit has to meet all state and federal guidelines. Moved by Councilmember Clark, seconded by Councilmember Bourke, that Ordinance 16-2354, “Amending Division 3. – Specific Use of Stormwater Ponds, Adding Sec. 34-523. – Stormwater Pond Aeration Permit of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Blaine,” be approved.
