�J ? Councilmember Makowske wondered whether - . the fact that some vending 2 machines :.were commercial . uses in residential dwelling districts 3 might justify ' fees being charged . to make up for . the loss of 4 commercial taxes; 5 also wondered. whether the fact .that the City had wanted to keep track,. 6 of cigarette, vending machine locations to assure minors didn' t buy 7 cigarettes might not have initiated the licensing of vending 8 machines.. 9 Mr. Hamer told the Councilmembers he does -inspect swimming pools in 10 apartment and condominium buildings and has shut .a few down because 11 of sanitation problems . 12 Pat Gaughan, who, was present for the H.R.A. consideration of his 13 proposal to construct two apartment buildings as the final . phase of. 14 the Kenzie Terrace Redevelopment Project, commented that he perceived 15 the City might be facing opposition to the imposition of fees- on coin 16 operated machines which were owned and operated by the building 17 owners because, as suggested by Councilmember Marks , such fees would. 18 have to be engendered by some City service.
