Second Reading, Ordinance 99-830, an ordinance amending various
fees
Staff recommendation is to move to adopt Ordinance 99-830 as amended for
second reading and order publication.
One change has taken place. The fee for food vending machines was deleted in
Section 1 of the ordinance presented for first reading. It was not taken into
consideration when drafting the new fees, therefor, it is being added at this time.
The fee for vending machines will remain the same as per MN Statute. A new copy
of the ordinance and the amended fee schedule has been attached to this memo.
Renewal notices were sent out letters to all licensees. The letter indicated that the
second reading on the ordinance changing fees would be on October 5, 1999 at
7:30 p.m. A copy of that letter is attached.
The definition of a Lodging House is as follows: Every building or structure or any
part thereof, kept, used as, maintained as, advertised as, or held out to be a place
where sleeping accommodations are furnished to the public as regular roomers for
periods of one week or more and having five or more beds to let to the public. It is
possible that there remains one business in the City of Hopkins that has been
treated as an apartment, but could be licensed under this ordinance as a lodging
house. The new Health Inspector will inspect the property and make the
determination.
If you have any questions, please call me prior to the meeting at 939-1330.
