6) Police Chief noted the corporal positions
are working out well.
7) Re: Challenge procedures in upcoming
election -- Nelson read the statute providing
for a challenger to be appointed by the Mayor
upon receipt of a petition bearing 25 names.
The challenger would be on hand at the polls
to question a voter they suspect to be un-
qualified. The City could appoint up to 1
person per precinct, for a total of 7. The
5 groups (DFL, IR, Concerned Citizens, League
of Women Voters, and ACTION) have been
notified so they may exercise this right.
This is a measure to ensure a clean election.
Ziebarth suggested the voter be made aware
this may occur and that if he refused to
answer questions of the challenger, he may
lose the right to vote.
8) Received a letter from Metro Council re:
establishment of cable TV service area for
Capital City Cable, Inc. Recommend waiting
30 days after they award a service area.
9) Have received request from the 911 system
people to do a resolution, but will hold off
because at this time, it appears we would be
paying more than our fair share.
