MINUTES REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 8, 1980 PAGE 3 and, therefore, recommended Council disregard the possible reconsider- ation of the flashing sign request from Falcon Lanes, Inc. (the re- quest was denied at the September 10, 1980 Council Meeting). Council discussed again the possibility of charging the Municipal Liquor Store for fire protection (as is being done for policing) and was assured by Attorney Kenefick that since the store is tax exempt the City does have the right to charge for governmental services. Councilmember Steele moved, seconded by Councilmember Larson that the Liquor Store be charged $10,000 per annum for policing and $5,000 per annum for fire protection effective November 1, 1980. Motion carried unanimously. Councilmember Brown presented for Council's review the upcoming issue of the Council Newsletter and inquired as to the number of hockey rinks to be open for the 1980-1981 season in order that the inform- ation could be published in the Newsletter. Councilmember Steele moved, seconded by Councilmember Eggert that the Falcon Heights Community Park hockey rink be designated as the official rink with a paid attendant, and that the Idaho-Snelling and University Grove rinks be operated on a volunteer basis, as was done during the 1979- 1980 season. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Warkentien informed Council that the University of Minnesota had responded to the City's request to lease land on which a new City Hall might be built. The University indicated they might consider selling a portion of the now leased park land at Roselawn and Cleveland. Council recommended that Mayor Warkentien and the Clerk Administrator approach the University regarding other sites and also to contact the Farmers Union Grain Terminal Association and discuss monetary consideration for the Falcon Heights City Hall and land purchase by indicating to them the cost break down on land and building, which the City has proposed to construct, and to determine their reaction to such proposal. Mayor Warkentien explained to Council that the new 3M Security System cannot be installed in the Municipal Liquor Store at this time as Floyd Security informed the Clerk Administrator that the City has a 5 year contract with Floyd Security. Council directed Attorney Kenefick to meet with Clerk Administrator Barnes, review the contract, and determine if the contract can be broken. Engineer Lemberg requested that Council authorize final payment of $1,272.66 to Bituminous Roadways for the seal coating of the north west quadrant of the City. Mayor Warkentien moved, seconded by Councilmember Brown that the final payment be authorized. Motion carried unanimously. Attorney Kenefick explained to Council that Ordinance X173 in- creasing Council salaries cannot go into effect due to the fact that the State Statute provides that a raise in salaries is not effective until after the next succeeding municipal election. Councilmember Larson moved, seconded by Mayor Warkentien that Ordinance X176 be adopted repealing Ordinance X173 and author- izing publication of same. Motion carried unanimously. ~~ FLASHING SIGN (cont.) LIQUOR STORE TO BE CHARGED FOR FIRE PROTECTION AND POLICING F. H. PARK RINK TO HAVE ATTENDANT, U.
