City Council Minutes Page 6 <br /> April 6,2015 <br /> Chief Nierenhausen suggested adopting a neighborhood, crime prevention through <br /> environmental design, and acting as a conduit between the public and police <br /> department. <br /> Council discussed pay and benefits. <br /> Council consensus was to move forward with this position. <br /> 10.2 Community Service Officer Vacancy <br /> Mr. Portner discussed past history with the CSO position going from full-time to <br /> part-time status at various times. <br /> Council consensus was to move forward with changing the position back to two <br /> part-time positions. <br /> 10.3 Focused Area Study: Southern Twin Lakes Road Business District <br /> Mr. Carlton presented the staff report. He noted the land use has already been <br /> incorporated into the Comprehensive Plan and staff is bringing in the rezoning so <br /> they match the land use areas. <br /> Councilmember Westgaard compared the Focused Area Study (FAST) with the <br /> Gravel Mining Plan (Plan) adopted earlier tonight. He noted the Plan will be driven <br /> by property owners and questioned, because the city is changing the zoning, if <br /> property owners are now asking for this change. <br /> Mr. Carlton stated staff is moving forward with the rezoning to match the land use <br /> reflected in the Comprehensive Plan. He further noted all the uses in the Southern <br /> Twin Lakes Road Business District currently operate as a permitted or conditional <br /> use and with the rezoning they will continue to be able to operate in the same way. <br /> Attorney Beck noted no business will be made to become a legal non-conforming <br /> use as a result of these zoning ordinance amendments. <br /> 10.4 E-Cigarette Regulation for Indoor Public Places <br /> Ms. Allard presented the staff report. She further noted there is a bill introduced at <br /> the legislature looking to restrict e-cigarette use similar to tobacco in the Minnesota <br /> Clean Indoor Air Act (MCIAA). <br /> Mayor Dietz stated he was in favor of prohibiting the use of e-cigarettes in the same <br /> locations tobacco is currently prohibited per the MCIAA. <br /> Councilmember Burandt concurred. <br /> P O w E R E U 9 1 <br /> 1`4 f U <br />
