<br />Council Minutes <br />March 12, 1985 <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Harcus inquired about legislature concernin9 wine sales <br />in super markets. Sinda responded if it makes it through <br />the committee, it will make it; his understanding is that <br />it probably will not make it through the committee in the <br />Senate. <br /> <br />Benke indicated State A, D, and F would be the priority <br />items. <br /> <br />Council concurred. <br /> <br />Sinda had nothing to add to the council report. <br /> <br />Janecek felt Government Training Service did a good job <br />of recording the discussions; although not ready to be <br />publicized, it is a good working document. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Benke suggested after the Town Hall Meeting we can draft <br />a summary report for general information in the City News- <br />letter and/or the newspaper. <br /> <br />Schmidt feels Team Building process is worthy of publica- <br />tion, public awareness. <br /> <br />Harcus feels revenue sharing is one thing that is going to <br />have to be cut, along with a lot of other things, to handle <br />the national deficit, doesn't believe it is fair to take <br />along with the cut the Community Developmen~ programs and <br />other things without across-the-board cuts 1n defense and <br />other programs. Feels city's position should be that, if <br />revenue sharing is cut, other programs, including defense, <br />should take their fair share. <br /> <br />Benke stated that our allotment is $4 per capita so if we <br />lost that, we could probably find a way to make that up. <br />However, as a general principle, Benke agreed with Harcus; <br />feels we should not oppose the request but, for practical <br />reasons, should support the continuation without spending <br />a lot of time doing so. <br /> <br />Schmidt stated he wouldn't mind taking our share of the <br />cut if there was some formula for fairness. <br /> <br />Benke asked Sinda if his previous letters were sent to two <br />Senators and Congressman Vento; Sinda responded affirmatively. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Motion by Benke, seconded by Schmidt, to SEND A LETTER TO <br />ST. PAUL, WITH COPIES OF OUR PREVIOUS CORRESPONDENCE WITH <br />SENATORS DURENBERGER AND BOSCHWITZ AND TO CONGRESSMAN VENTO, <br />INDICATING WE HAVE ALREADY CORRESPONDED WITH OUR CONGRESS- <br />MEN IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
