MINUTES CITY COUNCIL MAY 22, 1996 unnecessary. Morelan suggested the City come up with some reasonable restrictions, and then invite the cigarette license holders in for their comments. Scalze stated that she would like to hear both sides of the issue. Fahey felt it was obvious what non-smokers associations would have to say and indicated that he was not interested in a presentation from these groups. LaValle indicated he was not interested in banning vending machines. Fahey asked for more information on regulations which the surrounding cities have imposed. Mr. Morelan introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 96-5-130 - TABLING ACTION ON THE MATTER OF TOBACCO REGULATIONS UNTIL THE JUNE 26, 1996 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING AND DIRECTING STAFF TO OBTAIN FURTHER INFORMATION ON REGULATIONS WHICH SURROUNDING CITIES HAVE IMPOSED The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Scalze. Ayes (5) Morelan, Scalze, Fahey, LaValle, Pedersen. Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. PERMANENT The City Administrator reported that the Parks & BATTING CAGE Recreation Director is seeking $2,000 in funding from AT PIONEER the City toward the ins tallation of a permanent batting PARK cage at Pioneer Park. Total estimated cost of the project is $15,500, and donations are being sought for the remaining funds. Scalze noted the batting cage is proposed next to the basketball court. Scalze suggested due to the heavy use of this court, the City may want to double the size in the future. Therefore, adequate space should be left for that purpose. LaValle noted the Director is recommending that the $2,000 come from the City's 10% Fund. LaValle suggested the funding come from the Parks & Recreation Budget. Morelan felt the project more closely met the criteria for 10% funding. 16
