concerning the Liquor On Sale-100 Seats or less, Liquor-Outdoor
Services Area (Patio), Liquor On Sale-Sunday, Entertainment A, and
Gambling Location licenses held by El Alamo, LLC, d/b/a El Alamo at
429 Robert Street South. (Public hearing held February 7)
Councilmember Noecker said at the time of last week's meeting she felt there should
be a double departure on the penalty matrix and wanted to take a week to put those
reasons in writing. She moved to adopt the findings of fact, conclusions of law, and
recommendation of the ALJ as amended in the resolution before the Council. She said
she was recommending that they upwardly depart twice from the matrix penalty to
revocation based solely on the report of the ALJ, the serious threat to public safety,
and continued violation of very recently imposed license conditions intended to protect
public safety. She said much of the testimony at the previous week's public hearing
was troubling but the Council was only able to consider evidence contained in the
record. She said evidence from that record were laid out in the resolution before the
Council and constituted the substantial and compelling reasons needed to recommend
a double departure on the penalty matrix.
A vote was taken on the Motion of Intent. Yeas - 7 Nays - 0

City Council Minutes - Final February 14, 2018
23 Ord 17-64 Amending Legislative Code Section 293.07, pertaining to noise source
limitations, by enacting a new subdivision to exempt certain soccer
matches and other activities held in a municipal stadium from noise
source limitations.
Councilmember Thao thanked neighbors, staff, and the Union Park District Council for
their efforts. He said he had listened and heard, and reflected on the concerns. He
said based on the AUAR findings he felt this exemption variances were a better
strategy in limiting noise pollution in that it made what was and wasn't allowed after
10:00 p.m. He said other stadiums belonging to the Minnesota Ballpark Authority
abided by similar variance and exemptions. He said his office would with neighbors
and the team t monitor any noise issues. He moved approval.
Council President Brendmoen said she appreciated Councilmember Thao's extra work
and the opportunity for the district council to weigh in again.
Councilmember Stark said he would support the motion and appreciated thanked
Councilmember Thao digging into this. He noted that the Council had already adopted
a development agreement that essentially allowed the team to have soccer games on
the site, and to come back later and restrict noise wouldn't make sense. He agreed
with Councilmember Thao that the clarity provided was helpful.

LEGISLATIVE HEARING ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION
30 RLH RR 18-4 Ordering the rehabilitation or razing and removal of the structures at 642
CHARLES AVENUE within fifteen (15) days after the February 14, 2018
City Council public hearing. (Amended to remove within 15 days with no
option for rehabilitation) (Public hearing continued from February 14)
Legislative Hearing Officer Marcia Moermond said her recommendation was to amend
the resolution to order removal of the structures within 15 days; she asked that the
Council continue the matter for one month in order for the owner to secure financing,
develop work plans, and post a performance deposit - not a bond - in order to
rehabilitate the structure. She said if the owner was not able to provide those items in
that time period, she would recommend approval of the resolution.
No one was present to testify. Councilmember Thao moved to continue the public
hearing to March 14.

VAN BUREN AVENUE within fifteen (15) days after the February 14,
2018, City Council public hearing. (Amend to remove or repair within 180
days)
Legislative Hearing Officer Marcia Moermond said Assistance for Homeowners had
called that afternoon and said they would be trying to work with the homeowner to
rehabilitate the property. She said the property owner was a no-show for the previous
day's Legislative Hearing, but she would like to give a chance for the property's
rehabilitation. She said there was no performance deposit or financing, and, while a
code compliance inspection had be applied for, the owner never put a lock box on the
doors to allow access. She recommended laying the matter over for one week, and if a
$5000 performance bond was posted by the close of business the next Tuesday she
would refer the matter back to Legislative Hearings for review.
No one was present to testify. Councilmember Stark moved to continue the public
hearing to February 21.

City Council Meeting Agenda February 14, 2018
Council Meeting Information
The City Council is paperless which saves the environment and reduces expenses. The
agendas and Council files are all available on the Web (see below). Council members use
iPads to review the files during the meeting. Using the iPad greatly reduces costs since most
agendas, including the documents attached to files, are over 1000 pages when printed.
Web
Meetings are available on the Council's website. Email notification and web feeds (RSS) of
newly released minutes, agendas, and meetings are available by subscription. Visit
www.stpaul.gov/council for meeting videos and updated copies of the agendas, minutes, and
supporting documents.
Cable
Meetings are live on St Paul Channel 18 and replayed on Thursdays at 5:30 p.m., Saturdays at
12:30 p.m., and Sundays at 1:00 p.m. (Subject to change)
Many people are extremely sensitive to scented products. Please refrain from wearing or
using fragrances such as perfumes, lotions, aftershave, scented aerosol products, and other
such products.
