<br /> from the City of St. Paul, where studies have suggested such a correlation as well as a possible

<br /> Council has also relied upon evidence taken from reported court cases involving other
<br /> municipalities which are smaller suburban cities in Minnesota and in other states. The City
<br /> Council believes that the experiences of the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul are relevant to
<br /> the City of St. Anthony because of their close proximity, and that the smaller cities involved in
<br /> cases from Minnesota and other states are similar in their position as relatively small suburbs
<br /> to major metropolitan areas.
<br /> After careful consideration of these materials and other materials, including the Report of the
<br /> Attorney General's Working Group on the Regulation of Sexually-Oriented Businesses
