-2- Councilmember Makowske noted that the billing for membership in the League of • Minnesota Human Rights Commission had indicated the City's dues had been raised 42.9% and asked whether the City received that much more benefit from its membership. Councilmember Marks indicated he perceived the City is eligible to receive as much service from the organization as is requested. The Mayor recalled that the City's Human Rights Commission had disbanded because no need for their services had been demonstrated in the past, but indicated he understood membership in this Commission would allow the City to utilize the Commission's expertise in this area if the need should ever arise.

ORDINANCE 1986-005 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CITY ZONING MAP Motion carried unanimously. Council action on the Planning Commission's April 15th recommendation that certain variances be granted in conjunction with the commercial facility the META Partnership proposed to construct on the former American Legion property at 2701 and 2709 Kenzie Terrace had been deferred until the developers could meet with the residents on • 27th Avenue N.E. to attempt to dispel some of the concerns they had about the project. Those efforts had been unsuccessful to a great extent because two petitions with approximately 30 signatures each, opposing the variances for a height of 42 feet X 6 inches or an alley access for the proposed structure had been delivered to the City and copies included in the agenda packet.
