Mr. Waste objected to putting signs up and down each Saturday. He stated there were no complaints last year. Why not go along with it again this year? Mayor Johnson stated it is not a question of running into problems. The problem is uniformity in enforcing the code -- everybody else pointing their finger at us and saying they could, why can't we. Council Shelquist stated we have to consider how the road sides look to non - residents driving through the city; they get an impression of the city by what they see. Roll call vote was requested: Councilman Shelquist - aye Councilman Hodges - aye Councilman Baumgartner - nay Councilman Pickar - aye Mayor Johnson - aye Councilman Baumgartner stated his reason for a nay vote being that he'd rather see six little signs than one great big one. Motion carried. On behalf of the Lions Club, Robert Waste presented Council with a check in the amount of $135 covering the cost of the stove which the Lions Club donated to city hall. MSP (Johnson - Pickar) to receive check from the Mounds View Lions Club in the amount of $135 for contribution of electric stove downstairs and sincerely express our appreciation for that donation. We know the Lions works hard to raise their money. Council doesn't wish to be arbitrary as far as civic organizations are concerned. But we must be concerned with what goes on with all businesses. 5 ayes Mayor Johnson instructed Mr. Waste to see the Administrator when they had their plans for the used car flea market sign ready. MSP (Shelquist- Johnson) to waive the fee for erection of sign for Lions Club flea market. 5 ayes
