PUBLICATION OF THE TITLE AND SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE 19-2438, AMENDING CHAPTER 86 - UTILITIES, ARTICLE III. - CONNECTIONS TO SYSTEMS, ADDING SEC. 86-107, FATS, OILS AND GREASE (FOG) CONTROL PROGRAM, OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF BLAINE
Background
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 19-2438 is lengthy staff is recommending adoption of the proposed summary resolution. The summary resolution requires an affirmative vote of four-fifths of the Council and 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 19-2438.
Body
WHEREAS, City Code states if the City Council of the City of Blaine determines, pursuant to Minn.
