Council members present; Karth, McLean, Schneider. Absent; Zelinka. Mr. Locher had not yet arrived. Senator Milton was present and presented Mayor Bohjanen with a copy of the Land Use Bill being considered by the State Senate. This is the bill that had been pass- ed out of the senate. He said he had attended this meeting to answer any quest- ions the Council or audience might have and to meet the two new Council members. Senator Milton said the Stadium issue is one of the more important items being considered at this session. He said he had received over 200 letters and only one had been in favor of the proposed stadium. Senator Milton gave his phone number - 296 -4168 - if any one has any ideas for his consideration, he would appreciate a call. His office is open and if anyone plans to be at the Capitol, just call and let him know and he will make a point to be available. Mayor Bohjanen thought all Council members should have a copy of this bill. It should be studied and their thoughts should be forwarded to Senator Milton. He suggested these ideas be formulated by the Special meeting scheduled for March'l, 1976. Senator Milton said if the Council or the Residents have any ideas, now is the time to present them, while the Legislature is in session.
