[6:45] Thank you sir
[7:02] All right moving on to uh item number
[7:05] six our consent agenda These are uh
[7:07] routine items in front of the council Mr
[7:09] Miller anything you wanted to highlight
[7:11] Thank you Mayor A handful of items
[7:12] tonight Item 6C is a donation from the
[7:15] Lakeville Public Safety Foundation This
[7:17] is a utility vehicle that is being
[7:19] donated to the police department valued
[7:20] at over $38,000 So we're very
[7:22] appreciative of that donation There's a
[7:25] couple ordinance amendments here that
[7:26] have been discussed at work sessions but
[7:28] I just wanted to highlight them tonight
[7:29] Item 6D is an ordinance amending our
[7:33] control of dogs So our previous
[7:34] ordinance required a leash but also
[7:36] allowed voice control Uh per the
[7:39] discussion of the council we are
[7:40] removing the allowance to for dog to be
[7:43] under the command of your voice Um so it
[7:46] will be required to have a leash but the
[7:48] parks department will be establishing
[7:49] some dog training areas in specific
[7:52] parks that will be allowed for off leash
[7:54] um work Great Item 6E is related to the
[7:58] furnishing of cannabis um under our
[8:00] social host ordinance We have had a
[8:02] social host ordinance where um that's
[8:05] pertain to alcohol but with the
[8:06] legalization of cannabis by the state
[8:08] legislature The council discussed adding
[8:10] cannabis to that ordinance And so that
[8:11] is 6E And then item 6G is an ordinance
[8:15] that allows staff in the city to post
[8:18] certain uh city-owned storm water ponds
[8:21] as no fishing We have had some um
[8:23] complaints about fishing and impacts to
[8:25] some neighboring homeowners and this
