CITY TO REQUEST PROPOSALS FOR NEW CARPETING FOR COUNCIL
CHAMBERS/MEETING AREA AND CONFERENCE ROOM
Hoyt explained that the remodeling of the council chambers is
nearly completed as is the installation of the audio/video
equipment. Since the final carpentry work will require carpeting
the area that has been remodeled it seemed timely to consider
requesting proposals for re-carpeting the entire area. The 1993
budget and proposed 1994 budget include $10,000 for carpeting
this area.
Following a brief discusstion it was the sense of the council
that staff should proceed with obtaining proposals for re-
carpeting the council chambers/meeting area and conference room.
PROGRESS UPDATE ON COI+II~IERCIAL DEVELOPMENT MORATORIUM
Hoyt explained that the planning commission and staff have been
researching how other cities handle the types of businesses which
are presently under the moratorium. Due to the uniqueness of
Falcon Heights such as proximity of commercial zones to
residential zones, many regulations used by other communities
would not be acceptable for Falcon Heights. Hoyt indicated that
proposed regulations for some of the businesses under moratorium
may be ready to present to council by the end of January or early
February, 1994.
DISCUSSION OF COUNCIL'S GOALS AND WORK TASKS FOR THE COMING YEAR
Ballwin presented the results of the council's October workshop
and reviewed the procedure leading to determining the city's
goals and work priorities for the coming year. He indicated a
council planning session will be held in the future to further
prioritize the original goals and determine possible methods of
implementation.

1995. As requested by Baldwin at the October 27th meeting,
Gehrz, Jacobs and Hoyt met to plan for methods of community
input. Hoyt then presented the committee's suggestions for

discussion regarding the format of the proposed meetings and
wording on the survey form, council directed the committee/staff
to proceed with the meetings and survey as presented.
