1 Councilmember* Makowske - wondered- whether the fact that some vending. • <br /> 2 machines-'were. commerc'ial . . uses in residential dwelling districts .. <br /> 3 might justify fees being charged to make- up, for the loss of <br /> 4 commercial taxes ; <br /> 5 also wondered whether the fact -that.-.the City had wanted to keep. track <br /> 6 of cigarette vending machine locations to assure minors didn' t buy , <br /> 7 cigarettes might not have - initiated the licensing of vending <br /> 8 machines . <br /> 9 Mr. Hamer .toid the Councilmembers he does inspect swimming pools" in <br /> 10 apartment. and. condomnium buildings and .has shut. a. few down because . <br /> 11 of sanitation problems . <br /> 12 Pat Gaughan, who was present for the H.R.A. consideration of his <br /> 13 proposal to construct two apartment buildings as the final phase- of <br /> 14 the.. Kenzie Terrace-Redevelopment Project, commented that he perceived <br /> 15 the City might be -facing opposition to the imposition of fees on coin <br /> 16 operated machines which were owned and operated by the building <br /> 17 owners because, as suggested by Councilmember Marks , such fees would <br /> 18 have to be engendered by some City service. However, the <br /> 19 redeveloper said he believed it would be good City policy -for St. <br /> 20 Anthony to license outside vendors machines as a way of retaining <br /> 21 community control over the machines . <br /> 22 Council Action z <br /> 23 The perception that further clarification of the issues involved in <br /> 24 that particular recommendation led to the following Council action: <br /> 25 Motion by Enrooth, seconded by Makowske to approve the increase in <br /> 26 fee's for licenses which -are currently in existence which had been <br /> .27 recommended by the Finance Director ' s September 29th memorandum but . <br /> 28 to table action on the licensing of coin operated washers and dryers <br /> 29 in apartment - and condominium buildings for further staff research. <br /> 30 Motion carried unanimously. <br /> 31 Police Reserve Bylaws Changes Adopted <br /> 32 Before the above changes were approved, Chief Hickerson told the <br /> 33 Mayor Pro Tem he was recommending the .number of reserves be increased <br /> 34 from 10 to 12 because the party who was bringing in the additional <br /> 35 reserves-.had said he had that many people interested in joining the <br /> 36 reserves , although the Chief now perceived the number would now <br /> 37 probably be closer to seven. <br /> 38 Chief Hickerson indicated he expected it to cost. at least $3 , 000 to <br /> 39 add to the reserve program and said the cost of retaining the old <br /> 40 � squad car rather than auctioning it off would also have to be <br /> 41 counted. Mr . Childs said he perceived the Council anticipated all • <br /> 42 those costs when. they had made the , decision to increase the reserves . <br /> 10 <br />
