Ths City could appoint up to 1 <br />person per precinct, for a total of 7. The <br />5 groups (DFL, IR, Concerned Citizens, Leagte <br />of Women Voters, and ACTION) have been <br />notified so they may exercise this right. <br />This is a measure to ensure a clean election. <br />Ziebarth suggested the voter be made aware <br />this may occur and that if he refused to <br />answer questions of the challenger, he may <br />lose the right to vote. <br />8) Received a letter from Metro Council re: <br />establishment of cable TV service area for <br />Capital City Cable, Inc. Recommend waiting <br />30 days after they award a service area. <br />9) Have received request from the 911 system <br />people to do a resolution, but will hold off <br />because at this time, it appears we would be <br />paying more than our fair share. <br />6.
