Title
PUBLICATION OF THE TITLE AND SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE 16-2350 AMENDING CHAPTER 70 - STREETS, SIDEWALKS AND OTHER PUBLIC PLACES ARTICLE II. - SPECIAL EVENTS OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE CITY OF BLAINE
Background
Ordinance 16-2350 was adopted earlier in the agenda on May 19, 2016. Minnesota Statute 412.191, Subd. 4, provides for publication of the title and summary of an ordinance in the case it is lengthy, if the City Council determines that publication of the title and a summary would clearly inform the public of the intent and effect of the ordinance. As Ordinance 16-2350 is lengthy staff is recommending adoption of the proposed summary resolution. The entire ordinance is available for inspection during regular office hours at City Hall and can be forwarded upon request.
Recommendation
Adopt the resolution providing for a summary publication of Ordinance 16-2350.
