They would like for their stores to remain profitable and <br />19 believe that the council should want businesses in the city to remain profitable to keep them here and <br />20 encourage other development. Mr. Nazaranka read a letter sent from another city to an off -sale <br />21 establishment that asks for them to be involved in economic development discussions about the city. <br />22 He'd like to get a positive discussion going again on the matter. <br />23 <br />24 Mayor Reinert noted that Mr. Lamere and Mr. Nazaranka are bringing up this discussion every two <br />25 weeks, however, he'd point out to them that the council has worked with them. There have recently <br />26 been open discussions at council sessions and the finding is that there isn't anything special about <br />27 liquor stores and that competition is good for the city. He believes the council has given the topic a <br />28 fair review. <br />29 <br />30 SETTING THE AGENDA <br />31 <br />32 The agenda was approved as presented. <br />33 <br />34 CONSENT AGENDA <br />35 <br />36 Council Member Roeser moved to approve Consent Agenda Items 1B and 1C as presented.
