Motion passed unanimously. • Elimination of tree removal (eliminate line 3) • Elimination of city hall sign (eliminate line 5 and reduce line 10 by one installation) • Modification of the foundation design for sign type "B" • Elimination of landscaping around signs (eliminate line items 12, 13, and 14), which can be done more cost efficiently by the city. • Extension of time to award bid package C-3 at the State Fair Entry. • Elimination of sign lighting work (eliminate line items 4, 8, and 9) Upon further discussion, Jacobs also moved that a change order be made to bid package B to award the sign electrical work to Killmer Electric, at a cost not to exceed 515,500.

Motion passed unanimously. APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE 97-03, REMOVING POOL HALLS AND BILLIARD PARLORS AS A CONDITIONAL USE IN A B-3 ZONE Administrator Hoyt reported that, as directed by the city council at the May 28 meeting, staff had prepared an ordinance removing pool halls and billiard parlors as a conditional use in a B-3 zoning district. Motion was made by Councilmember Kuettel to approve the following: Ordinance 97-03, removing pool halls and billiard parlors as a conditional use in a B-3 district, Resolution 97-25, related to location of pool halls and billiard parlors, and to remove the moratorium on new pool halls in the city after publication of the ordinance. Motion passed unanimously. CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE 97-04, RELATED TO SALES IN PUBLIC FACILITIES Administrator Hoyt reported that the Park and Recreation Commission had discussed the appropriateness of public facilities being rented for commercial purposes. There have been a number of requests to use the Community Park building for fund raising garage sales, for example. The commission determined that other than making a special exception for the Lions Club annual holiday tree sale, it was in the best interest of the community to eliminate sales from public buildings to keep the facilities accessible for use by the general public. The Lions Club sale would be an exception because they are a group which benefits the city as a whole and donates to city activities from money it raises at the tree sale. If the Lions Club decides to stop selling trees and another local service organization chooses to do another type of activity, the code could be amended at that time. The language suggested by the Park and Recreation Commission would still permit businesses to rent public facilities for meetings and would allow for sales in public
