Mayor Warkentien presented to Council a request from the Falcon Heights Elementary School PTA for a donation of $500.00 for play- ground equipment. Councilmember Eggert felt that more playground equipment is needed at the school since it is used extensively by children living in that area. Councilmember Steele felt that more equipment is not necessary and since no money was budgeted for that purpose the request should be denied. Councilmember Steele moved seconded by Councilmember Larson that the request be denied. Upon a vote being taken the following voted "aye": Mayor Warkentien, Councilmembers Steele, Brown and Larson, and the following voted "nay": Councilmember Eggert. Motion carried. Councilmember Eggert presented a request from the Human Rights Commission for permission to expend $60.00 for some members of that group to attend the State Human Rights Convention. Councilmember Eggert moved, seconded by Councilmember Brown that the expenditure be authorized. Motion carried unanimously. Councilmember Eggert provided an update on the Cable TV situation. The meetings with other communities irvolved in the proposed service territory are often held on the same evening as the Falcon Heights Council, thus making it impossible for Councilpersonsfrom Falcon Heights to attend. Councilmember Eggert has suggested that the group involved discuss the possibility ~f having future Cable TV Meetings be held on a rotating basis if no onP night is convenient for all communities. If the meeting date cant. t be changed Councilmember Eggert thought perhaps one of the knowledgeable ~,ersons on the Cable TV Citizen's Advisory Committee might act as intermediary. 1 HOUR PARKING (cont.)
