Council discussed whether or not they should delay the project to obtain the special vandalism proof windows, and if it might be possible to postpone the dedication scheduled for July 26, 1990. AMM REQUEST FOR INCREASED DUES TO HIRE ADDITIONAL STAFF DEFERRRED TO 7/25/90 MEETING Council discussed a letter from the Association of Metropolitan Municipalites requesting that the City consider supporting the hiring of an additional staff person which would increase dues 20 to 25$. The purpose of the additional staffing would be to provide more effective lobbying at the Legislature. Following the discussion Council agreed more information was needed in order to make a decision, and directed staff to arrange for the AMM Staff to make a presentation at the July 25th meeting. INVITATION TO JOIN THE SUBURBAN RATE AUTHORITY DEFERRED TO 7/25/90 The invitation to join the SRA, an organization which monitors rate matters of suburban utilities, was deferred. A Councilmember will attend the SRA meeting on July 17th and report back at the July 25th Meeting. CITY TO PARTICIPATE IN GUINNESS WORLD RECORD "GET WELL CARD" PROJECT Wiessner presented a letter requesting the City consider participating in a project to help a seven year old boy who has a brain tumor, to achieve his goal to have an entry in the GUINNESS BOOK OF RECORDS for the largest number of "Get Well Cards" ever received by an individual. Council agreed it was a worthwhile project and approved a proposed list of organizations/businesses to be contacted asking that they also participate. Council then adopted Resolution R-90-28 which will be sent to Craig Shergold at his home in England. Cable TV viewers were also urged to send cards.
