City for storm related damage. Local field representatives from FEMA have approved the
documentation but it can take several months to work its way through to final approval.

recommended granting six months to complete rehabilitation.
Councilmember Lantry moved approval as amended.

31. Resolution- 98-765 - Establishing a moratorium on eurrenerekeittmes7 pawn shopsaeee
shops pending a review and recommendation by the Department of Planning and Economic
Development and the Planning Commission. (Amended and laid over from August 26)
Allen Lovejoy, Department of Planning and Economic Development, appeared and stated he and
Robert Kessler reviewed this issue and they would support a moratorium on pawn shops with an
agreement to come back in 90 days with a recommendation. They recommended that currency
exchanges not be part of the moratorium as they react to the market demand to the immediate
neighborhood. Also, there are 442 tobacco licenses in Saint Paul and placing a moratorium on all of
those would be problematic. Therefore, Mr. Lovejoy suggested that tobacco licenses not be part of
the moratorium. Instead, a recommendation would come before the Council in 90 days.
September 2, 1998 City Council Summary Minutes Page 6
Robert Kessler, Office of License, Inspection, and Environmental Protection(LIEP), appeared and
stated there might be something more efficient that could be done through the Office of LIEP
instead of zoning requirements. A currency exchange study could be done fairly quickly, he said.
As for tobacco shops, a moratorium could adversely affect stores such as SuperAmerica. He was in
support of the moratorium on pawn shops but said he did not have an opinion at this time about
currency exchanges.
Councilmember Coleman asked what would happen with a new application if the moratorium goes
into effect. Robert Kessler responded that the moratorium would apply to a pending application and
the application would be put on hold. Mr. Coleman asked if pawn shops were part of the earlier
study. Mr. Kessler responded that the study, which was conducted over three years ago, included
pawn shops and currency exchanges. Allen Lovejoy stated that at the time of the previous study
there was no consideration of spacing requirements in relation to pawn shops. Mr. Coleman asked
what concerns were raised three years ago about pawn shops that has now lead to a moratorium on
them. Mr. Lovejoy responded that pawn shops were looked at to see if there were secondary
negative impacts such as those with adult entertainment facilities and the conclusion was they did
not. Mr. Coleman asked if there was something different about the industry today to which Mr.
Kessler responded that it has become a more regulated industry. Mr. Coleman responded that if
there is more regulation and there is a better tracking system in place, it should lessen the concerns
from a few years ago. Mr. Kessler responded there are more pawn shops now and there are national
chains that are different in character. There are presently thirteen pawn shops dispersed throughout
the City.
Councilmember Benanav moved to impose a three-month moratorium on pawn shops, with an
extension to six months if it is not completed, and to remove currency exchanges and tobacco shops
from the resolution.
Councilmember Blakey asked about current pawn shop applications in the system. Phil Byrne,
Assistant City Attorney, responded that this moratorium would stop applications for pawn shop
licenses and they would be held until the moratorium expires or until the Council adopts the
applications.
Councilmember Coleman suggested that before the City starts banning businesses or imposing
moratoriums, the need should be demonstrated.
Adopted as amended Yeas - 5 Nays - 2 (Blakey, Coleman)
September 2, 1998 City Council Summary Minutes Page 7
(Items 24, 25, and 26 were first discussed earlier.)
24. Resolution- 98-809 - Authorizing the proper City officials to enter into a settlement agreement with
River boats, Inc.
25. Resolution- 98-810 - Authorizing the proper City officials to enter into a lease agreement with
River Boats, Inc.
26. Resolution- 98-811 - Authorizing the proper City officials to enter into an agreement with River
Boats, Inc. to operate a floating restaurant on the ReJoyce vessel at Harriet Island Park owned and
operated by the City of Saint Paul.
Ted Leon, Assistant City Attorney, appeared and reported Item 24 resolves the litigation of River
Boats, Inc. against the City of Saint Paul. There are three resolutions: the first one is for payment of
$25,000; the second one is approval of Item 25, which is the lease agreement; and, the third one
authorizes an agreement for a floating restaurant.
Mr. Leon said that the litigation commenced in 1995. The owner wanted to operate a paddle boat
business and he contacted the Division of Parks and Recreation which maintains control of most of
the land that abuts the river. The business was located temporarily in different areas and the owner
requested to locate it at Watergate Marina. A draft lease was prepared but because of concerns
raised by others in the area, Parks and Recreation decided not to allow river boats to operate out of
Watergate Marina and asked the owner to vacate. The owner refused to do so and brought a lawsuit
claiming the City had breached a contract, made promises that were not realized, and alleged the
City violated its due process rights. The parties entered into negotiations and a tentative settlement
was reached. The City Attorney's Office felt this was a case that was better settled rather than go to
court.
Councilmember Lantry stated the district council in this area should have had some input and
encouraged Parks and Recreation to make sure they are aware of this.
Councilmember Coleman requested the public be allowed to speak on this issue. Phil Byrne,
Assistant City Attorney, stated the Council is in control of its own meeting procedures in the
absence of a specific rule relating to it. Councilmember Lantry concurred with Coleman that people
should be allowed to speak. Councilmember Blakey was concerned that the Council would be
setting a precedent because a lot of cases are settled without public input.
Council President Bostrom stated if the Council wishes to have a public hearing, it would be better
to have it on the agenda for another Council meeting in order to give all sides a chance to speak.
Councilmember Reiter moved to layover to September 23 for a public hearing.
Phil Byrne reminded that this issue was discussed in a closed session and a vote was taken. It the
Council chooses to hear from people regarding the future impact, it can be done either now or later.
Councilmember Reiter withdrew his motion to lay over.
September 2, 1998 City Council Summary Minutes Page 8
The following individuals appeared before the Council:
Neil DenBleyker, 1952 Crown Point Drive, St. Paul Yacht Club, appeared and distributed a handout.
He stated the club has a lease agreement with Saint Paul. The club has no problem with the
restaurant itself, but with the location as they have a large vessel. The concern is that it would limit
access for the current tenants in and out of the slips they rent from the club. The marina is a shallow
draft of five feet; this vessel has a draft in excess of five feet. Mr. DenBleyker stated he is
concerned about the long range maintenance impact of the harbor when there is a vessel that does
not move.
Dave Engfer, St. Paul Yacht Club, 100 Yacht Club Road, and President of West Side Citizens
Organization District Council, said that neither the club or the district council was informed of this
resolution and there has not been an opportunity for input.
Tom Welna, owner of the existing restaurant on Harriet Island, appeared and stated the channel
between the public dock and the old public dock, which was gifted to the St. Paul Yacht Club, is 90
feet. The width of the vessel is 30 feet which still leaves 60 feet for navigation which is ample
room.
Councilmember Blakey moved to close the public hearing and approval.
Councilmember Coleman expressed concerned about agreeing to a 15 year lease when there is very
little space on Harriet Island.
Items 24, 25, and 26 Adopted Yeas - 7 Nays- 0
32. Resolution- 98-772 - Authorizing issuance of a Neighborhood STAR Loan to Home Essence, Inc.,
recommended by the Neighborhood STAR Board. (Laid over from August 26)
David Gontarek, Department of Planning and Economic Development(PED), appeared and stated
this resolution is to approve financing for Home Essence located at Cedar Square on Arcade Street.
Home Essence manufacturers fragrant products such as potpourri, candles, oils, etc. which they sell
in high volume and their intent is to increase production of these products. The plan is to maximize
the inventory storage and the company would like to stack material closer to the ceiling. Wax is
more flammable and the Fire Department requested a booster in the sprinkler system above standard
operational pressure. That additional booster costs about $50,000 to purchase and install.
Mr. Harris stated that he did not feel this type of expenditure is what the STAR Program is for. The
Star Program has generally been used to rehabilitate new homes, help neighborhoods improve a
park, expand businesses, improve streetscapes around businesses, etc.
Mr. Gontarek said the loan application was viewed as a business expansion because they will
be increasing their inventory and production. He indicated that the company largely employs East
Side residents and minorities.
September 2, 1998 City Council Summary Minutes Page 9
In response to more specific questions raised by Councilmember Coleman, Mr. Gontarek said the
company was projecting that they would hire an additional ten employees. Six of the employees
earn a salary in excess of$33,300 and the rest are below that amount. The business was established
in 1996 and the employees are primarily Hmong. Sales in 1996 totaled$2 million and$3 million in
1997 and they expect sales to exceed $4 million with the increased product line. Mr. Coleman asked
if they went through any other means to get a loan. Mr. Gontarek responded that they have a
significant line of credit through a bank.
Councilmember Blakey stated that the Council has approved STAR loans of$50,000 in the past
with little explanation as well as many items with a much higher dollar figure without a problem.
He suggested that the resolution should state that the company will expand to a certain number of
employees. Mr. Gontarek responded that language regarding an increase in employees could be
added to the resolution.
Councilmember Benanav stated public dollars are being spent and the Council does not have a good
understanding of how the STAR Program operates. Mr. Benanav said he had a number of questions
six months ago about the strategic plan concerning the use of this money and he is still waiting for
answers. He requested a response from PED to those questions.
Councilmember Coleman stated there was not enough information provided on this issue and said in
the future, the Council should receive more detailed information.
Councilmember Blakey offered an amendment to the resolution to reflect that there would be four
new employees hired in the 12 month period following completion of the improvement for which
this loan is being made. Council President Bostrom accepted this amendment. Dave Gontarek
stated the company's projections are to add 25 to 45 employees in the next 12 months.
Councilmember Lantry stated the Council needs more information including why this is out of the
cycle. However, she indicated that this is exactly what the STAR Program was to be used for: to put
money into businesses in order for them to employ more people.
Adopted as amended Yeas- 6 Nays - 1 (Harris)
33. Resolution- 98-813 - Adopting Minnesota Laws pertaining to the Saint Paul Sales Tax
Revitalization(STAR) Program.
34. Resolution- 98-814 - Adopting Minnesota Laws pertaining to the Saint Paul Sales Tax
Revitalization(STAR) Program Board.
Councilmember Benanav moved to lay over Items 33 and 34 indefinitely.
Councilmember Coleman stated he thought there was a time requirement pertaining to the arena.
Therefore, an indefinite layover could be problematic. The City Attorney indicated that the
resolutions have to be adopted by the end of the year in order for the City to get bonding authority
for the arena.
September 2, 1998 City Council Summary Minutes Page 10
Councilmember Harris noted that the City Attorney did not sign off on these resolutions and he
asked that the Attorney's Office review what was in front of the Council. Phil Byrne, Assistant City
Attorney, stated that Assistant City Attorney Gerald Hendrickson reviewed the resolutions. Mr.
Hendrickson conferred with Councilmember Benanav and provided him with information.
Councilmember Blakey stated there should be a written summary explanation regarding the
resolutions. Councilmember Coleman felt there should be a staff report first and then laid over at
that point.
Council requested that the Administration report on the adoption of Minnesota Laws pertaining to
the Saint Paul Sales Tax Revitalization(STAR) Program and Board at the September 9 Council
meeting.
