Acting Mayor Brown presented a request from. Flower City to display live plants outside from April 26, 1980 to the end of May 1980. Marvin Stillman, owner of Flower City, was present to inform Council that when an outside display was permitted on previous occasions business was definitely stimulated. The Clerk Administrator re- quested that if permission is granted that the display be kept in an orderly manner since some problems did arise last year (includ- ing late dismantling of the display). Mr. Stillman agreed that the display would be kept in a neat and orderly fashion. Acting Mayor Brown moved, seconded by Councilmember Eggert that Flower City be permitted to have an display of live plants outside from April 26 to the end of May, 1980, with the understanding that such display will be kept in a neat and orderly manner. Motion carried unani- mously. Acting Mayor Brown called to the attention of Council that at the April 9th Meeting a discussion was held regarding the purchase of 3 chairs and a table for the Clerk's Office and at that meeting it was suggested that the Clerk Administrator check into used furni- ture or perhaps re-upholstering the present chairs. The Clerk Administrator informed that he had visited a used office furniture firm and that the furniture offered was undesirable. It was also felt that since the present furniture is structurally unsound it would not be feasible to re-upholster. Councilmember Larson moved, seconded by Councilmember Eggert that the Clerk Administrator be authorized to purchase the 3 new chairs and a table at a cost of $574.00 as proposed at the April 9, 1980 Meeting. Motion carried unanimously. Clerk Administrator Barnes informed Council that Doug Rau, DNR Representative, had contacted the City Office to advise that the trees being provided the City by the DNR should arrive in approxi- mately 2 weeks. Mr. Rau suggested that any volunteers assisting in the tree planting bring a pail and a shovel.
