During a recent government meeting, the council addressed several key items, including the approval of a liquor license for TB James Incorporated, doing business as Pizza Flame, located at 2016 105th Avenue Northwest. The council is set to approve the issuance of an on-sale wine and strong beer license, contingent upon a successful background investigation and the issuance of a certificate of occupancy. The new owner, Tyler Burgoyne, reassured attendees that he plans to maintain the restaurant's traditional recipes while enhancing the establishment's ambiance.

The council also adopted Resolution 24-92, which accepts donations and business sponsorships for city programs from July 1 to September 30, 2024. This initiative aims to recognize community support for various city events, including safety camps and senior services.

In addition, the council received a schedule of electronic payments processed since the last meeting and approved a final payment of $53,853.99 to Clan Mechanical Contractors for work on Fire Station Number 3, confirming that all project details were accurate and reasonable.

Another significant discussion involved the introduction of Ordinance 2314, which amends city code to prohibit certain practices by solicitors, including creating public nuisances and making false statements. Council members emphasized the importance of ensuring that solicitors are properly licensed and encouraged residents to report any suspicious activity.

Lastly, the council approved Resolution 24-94, accepting a DWI grant from the Minnesota Office of Traffic Safety, which will fund a full-time DWI officer through September 2025. This grant, totaling over $146,000, is part of ongoing efforts to enhance traffic safety and reduce impaired driving incidents in the community.
