ORDINANCE BROCHURE TO BE DISCUSSED AT 2/9/83 MEETING WEATHER BALL AT STATE FAIRGROUNDS DISCUSSION Councilmember Ciernia informed Council that he, Acting Mayor Larson and Clerk Administrator Barnes had been to Bonestroo and Associates OFFICE to view their computor system, and that a computor needs assessment AUTOMATION is being compiled for Council's review. He stressed the fact that DISCUSSION the Planning Commission is re-writing the Zoning Ordinance and it would be helpful to enter the material in a word processor to simplify corrections and changes. Councilmember Ciernia moved, seconded by Acting Mayor Larson that the Clerk Administrator be directed to contact the firm and determine the cost of using the system. Councilmember Eggert was of the opinion that it would be more cost effective to Aurchase an "in-house" computor rather than going through another firm. Attorney Van de North informed that the newly completed codification had been entered in a word brocessor and that his firm could also enter the Zoning ordi- nance at no additional cost. In view of the fact that Attorney Van de North is working on the codification Council concurred that it would be wise to have the work done by the legal firm. Councilmember Ciernia withdrew his motion and Acting Mayor Larson withdrew the second. Acting Mayor Larson expressed concern over a letter written by St. FIRE DEPT. Paul Fire Chief Conroy to Sheriff Zacharias in which he indicated DISCUSSION that St. Paul provides protection t o the University Grove area but does not provide protection t o the University facilities at Eustis south of Larpenteur and at Broadway and STH 280 in Lauderdale (both of the University facilities in Lauderdale are excluded under the Lauderdale-Falcon Heights Fire contract}. Following a discussion, it was decided to respond in writing to Sheriff Zacharias ex- plaining the City's area of jurisdiction for emergencies in order to correct the misunderstanding. Acting Mayor Larson presented the prioritized list of Fire Department requests, the number one item being the cascade system. Council
