10 March 14, 1983 Kulaszewicz. Motion carried unanimously. SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING ADOPTING CITY CODE Mrs. Elsenpeter moved to set a Public Hearing for adopting the City Code for April 11, 1983 at 7:30 P.M. Notice to be published two weeks in all three papers and to include publication of the Table of Contents. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion carried unanimously. OPTIONS FOR THE PUBLICATION OF MINUTES Mr. Schumacher presented his research into the cost of publishing the minutes, either verbatium or as a summary. Some of the papers charge by the line, some cahrge by column inch and some by type styles. After some discussion on this matter, Mayor Benson suggested that the minutes of February 28, 1983 be used as an example and each paper be asked the charges for printing - both ways. REQUEST FOR FUNDS FOR LOBBYING FOR HORSE RACING FACILITY Mr. Schumacher explained this request comes from the Chamber of Commerce and the funds are to be used to finance the lobbying to locate the rac- ing facility in the North area. There is also a group that is seeking to have the facility in Dakato County. After some discussion, Mr. Marier moved to write to the Chamber saying that this Council fully supports them, however, at this time, due to limited funds support is impossible. Anything in the future would be appreciated. Seconded by Mrs. Elsenpeter. Motion carried unanimously.

Mr. Hawkins reviewed the case history of this case and made reference to some points in the Judge's decision.
