MINUTES REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 25, 1980 PAGE 3 Councilmember Larson and Clerk Administrator Barnes informed Council of their activities at the 66th Annual League of Minnesota Cities 1980 Conference and indicated that the meetings were interesting and worth- while. Attorney Kenefick presented the City of St. Paul Resolution relating to the control of narcotics paraphernalialand explained that the purpose of the resolution is to encourage the League of Minnesota Cities to sponsor and lobby for statewide legislation to provide some sort of drug para- phernalia control. Councilmember Larson moved, seconded by Councilmember Steele that Resolution 80-16 (based on the St. Paul Resolution) be adopted thus showing Council's support of such legislation. RESOLUTION 80-16 A RESOLUTION RELATING TO THE CONTROL OF NARCOTICS PARAPHERNALIA Upon a vote being taken Resolution 80-16 was adopted unanimously. Mayor Warkentien read to Council a letter from Phil Shively, 1512 Northrup, informing that he must resign from the Recreation Advisory Committee due to the fact that he will be out of the country. Mr. Shively recommended that Sue Fisher, 2216 Folwell,be appointed as ~ his successor. Mayor Warkentien moved, seconded by Councilmember Steele that Mr. Shively's resignation be accepted and that Sue Fisher be appointed as his replacement. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Warkentien noted that George M. Hansen Co. had completed the 1979 audit of Falcon Heights Funds. Mayor Warkentien informed Council that the City of Roseville has proposed a Joint Powers Committee on Cable TV in which Falcon Heights has been asked to participate along with the other 9 communities included in the North Suburban Cable Service Territory. He feels that Roseville has no right legally to assess Falcon Heights $2,000 for what is estimated to be expenses to be incurred in completing the organization and im- plementation of Cable TV in the North Suburban Area. Mayor Warkentien also stated that if the City of Roseville is authorized by the Joint Powers Committee to expend funds for certain items that they should be reimbursed upon presentation of an itemized statement rather than giving a lump sum. His suggestion is that each community in the Joint Powers Committee should be represented on a financial committee and that the financial committee approve any expenditures before they are made. Mayor Warkentien noted a letter from Minnesota Transport Services Association indicating that there is a possibility that Cable TV lines might be installed overhead and urging communities to insist that the cables be underground. Engineer Lemberg informed that he had never heard of the lines being installed overhead, but in the event such lines are proposed Falcon Heights would have the authority to refuse overhead installation.
