-16- <br /> The Mayor said he sensed Mr. Misiak had been mostly concerned. about the <br /> police enforcing the Ordinance too strictly. Councilmember Marks said <br /> that might- be possible with so many new young policemen on the force who <br /> might want to increase their productivity in this area the same as they <br /> have tagging speeders on Silver Lake Road. <br /> When Councilmember Enrooth said he thought there might be no more than <br /> six or seven people in the Village whose performance made this Ordinance <br /> a necessity for dealing with them, Councilmember Ranallo said he thought <br /> that estimate might be too low. <br /> Mr. . Misiak said he thought there were a lot of people in St. Anthony who <br /> were not even aware the Council was still working on the Ordinance <br /> because the only notice they had received had come several days after the <br /> Planning Commission hearing was held. <br /> Mayor Sundland agreed the Council was "going to have a hard time living <br /> that down" , but assured the homeowner an honest attempt had been made to <br /> invite the residents to give the Council the benefit of their comments at <br /> the Commission' s public hearing which had been thwarted by a computer <br /> breakdown.

He said he <br /> also agreed with her that it would be better to have a less restrictive <br /> law written at this time which could be tightened up later, if necessary. <br /> Additional comments were: <br /> Makowske -told Mr. Misiak the public hearing before the Planning . <br /> Commission had only been the start of the process and the <br /> Ordinance still had to be given three readings before it <br /> would be adopted, which should leave enough time for further <br /> resident input. <br /> Ranallo -said he was concerned that- only those who were against the <br /> Ordinance were being heard now because none of the people <br /> who had called him in favor of the restrictions were prese <br /> to reiterate that support. However, he also perceived the <br />
