-4- Councilman Ranallo reported he has been appointed to develop three seminars for the . League of Minnesota Cities convention and invited Council input to the process . The consensus was that the threat to. municipal 'liquor stores from legislation which would permit the .sale of strong beer and wine in grocery stores should be emphasized. Mr. Childs noted the bylaws for the Police Reserves require applicants to live within the City boundaries and wondered why these reserves should be treated differently than the reserve firefighters , some. of whom live outside the City . He also questioned whether the age limits- might not have been a factor in the minimum amount of interest demonstrated in the program. Councilman Ranallo indicated he would be reluctant to offer the program beyond the City limits because he believes the City can exert more control over the program if the reserves are residents . However, he would .not be opposed to following the Mayor' s recommendation that residents who live in that portion of New Brighton which is included in School District #282 should be recruited. Councilman Letourneau believes the program was never effectively promoted and duties of the reserves never specifically defined. The consensus was that the bylaws should be modified to expand the recruiting boundaries to permit applications to be taken from all District #282 residents and to set age limits to match those of the full time police officers . Mr. Childs reported he plans to set up a recruiting booth at Apache Plaza during a special promotion at the shopping center the end of February. The presentation of the North Suburban D.A. C. request for funds had been postponed. Motion by Councilman Marks and seconded by Councilman Enrooth to adjourn the meeting at 9 : 55 P.M. Motion carried unanimously.
