Council will give both points some thought.

COUNCILMAN PICKAR'S REPORT
He had received a letter from the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities
asking him to investigate their services, stating that they would show the
Council a film. Mayor Johnson stated that Councilman Pickar should attend
one of their meetings first to find out what they are discussing, etc., and
then perhaps see the film.

COUNCILMAN SHELQUIST'S REPORT
This Wednesday will be the first of two meetings of the Planning Commission
in November. From now on they will be meeting twice a month, except in
December. Mr. Shelquist questioned Mr. Achen as to item 6 on the Admini-
strator's report regarding the fiscal disparities law. Are they having a
hearing without having proposed the changes yet? Mr. Achen answered that it
was more of an informational meeting, rather than a formal hearing, to solicit
input as to how the law should be changed. Councilman Shelquist also ques-
tioned item 4, the Laxman Sundae claim. Attorney Meyers stated that they are
giving us the statutory notice that is required if you ever intend to present
a claim within a year.
