policy explained that the policy is mandated by OSHA. He briefly
reviewed the laws governing the need for the policy and how it is
being implemented in Falcon Heights. He indicated the city's

in the past and implementing the program would not be a problem.

concept. The program would be held from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.,
Monday through Thursday for seven weeks. The Commission felt
that this type of program would provide for supervised but non-
competitive play where children can come on a drop-in basis.
Council agreed with the concept, however had a lengthy discussion
relating to funding alternatives, such as a fee for service
charge, no charge, or possibly providing an opportunity for
voluntary donations. Following this discussion Gehrz moved
endorsement of the concept of staffing the Community Park and
Curtiss Field Park for 2 hours per day for up to 7 weeks during
the summer of 1993 at a cost of apprxomately $1,600.00 with no
direct charge for service this year with the condition that
opportunities be provided for volunteer contributions, and with
the understanding that an acceptable method of funding will be
established if the program is to be continued in the future.
Motion carried unanimously.
ADMINISTRATOR TO DISCUSS FINANCING TERMS WITH CITY OF LAUDERDALE
FOR LAUDERDALE'S SHARE OF 1993 STREET PROJECT COSTS
Hoyt explained that she and the city engineer have met with
Lauderdale officials regarding that city's share of the cost of
the reconstruction of Fulham Street. Since Lauderdale has not
budgeted for the estimated cost of $26,050.00, it is being
recommended that the city administrators meet to determine a way
in which Lauderdale might pay for the project without a lump sum
payment in 1993. After a brief discussion Council authorized the
administrator to meet with the Lauderdale administrator to
develop financing terms for the Lauderdale share of costs for the
1993 street project.
PROPOSED ORDINANCE ESTABLISHNG A DEVELOPMENT MORATORIUM ON THE
CITY'S COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICTS
Hoyt presented the proposed ordinance which would freeze the
city's commercial zoning districts as they now are to facilitate
continuation of the study of the city's commercial zoning codes.
The study, which has been in progress since October of 1992 is
being conducted by the city's planning commission and the
Hoisington Group, Inc. Attorney Bachman informed Council that it
is very typical to implement this type of freeze until the study
is completed, and that such action is in compliance with state
statute. Jacobs moved adoption of Ordinance 0-93-01 which
carried unanimously.
