On January 3, 2017 the council repealed section 115.01 - 115.15 regulating motion picture theaters. The fee for a movie theater permit needs to be removed from the fee schedule.

As the Community Center project has come to completion. Some fees needed to be updated. Many patrons will be coming to the community center to use the playground only. Staff intended to have a lower fee that would be for the playground only and not include all of the other amenities the general daily fee includes. When the 2017 fees were set the youth daily fee and the playground fee were set the same. The amendment is to establish the lower playground only fee, then the daily fee.

In addition we are changing the youth fee for non-resident to be the same as the youth fee for a resident as it has been prior to 2017. Verifying the residency of a youth is very difficult and not all youth need a parent present to utilize the Community Center. We are also adjusting the ages of a youth to be consistent in all areas of the Community Center.

This ordinance has been posted on the city's website since July 21, 2017. Posting on the website is complete in compliance with MN Statute 415.19. This statute was adopted during the most recent legislative session and requires notification of proposed ordinances 10 days in advance of their consideration on the city's website.
