SCHEDULING OF COUNCIL MEETINGS/WORKSHOPS
Baldwin presented for Council consideration a proposal that the
Council's scheduling be changed to hold one Council Meeting per
month instead of two, and that the other meeting be used as a
workshop, as workshops have proven to be very productive.
Council agreed with the concept. A discussion ensued
regarding the need to have designated topics for discussion, the
fact that the public might be more comfortable in an informal
workshop setting, the possible need for a brief second Council
Meeting on occasion, and the scheduling of workshop meetings for
dialogue with City Departments and Commissions. Wiessner was
directed to draft a workshop pattern for presentation at the
next meeting.
DISCUSSION - LICENSING OF CIGARETTE VENDING MACHINE
Gehrz inquired if it would be appropriate to take action to
prohibit granting a vending machine license to Consumer Vending
for a machine at the Embers in view of the fact that other such
licenses have been issued for 1990. Gedde was of the opinion
that it would create a problem if the license meets the present
code requirements and recommended addressing a code change at a
future meeting if such a change is desired. Council concurred.
CIGARETTE VENDING MACHINE LICENSE #511 APPROVED
Ciernia moved approval of a Cigarette Vending Machine License to
Consumer Vending for a machine at the Embers Restaurant, which
carried unanimously.
8:00 P. M. - HEARING ON ASSESSMENT OF UNPAID FALSE ALARM FEES
Baldwin opened the Public Hearing at 8:00 P.M. to consider
assessment of unpaid false alarm fees against Bullseye Video/Tan
Line, Bullseye Golf, Centers, Inc. There being no one in
attendance wishing to be heard, Baldwin closed the hearing at
8:01 P.M. Gehrz then moved adoption of Resolution R-90-12 which
carried unanimously.
RESOLUTION R-90-12
A RESOLUTION RELATING TO LEVYING SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS
