Rick Kelley, Staff Liaison. ABSENT: Dick Edwards ' Chairman Hecker called the meeting to order. The Committee reviewed the draft of the Massage Parlor Ordinance.

MOTION: of Smith, seconded by Regis to recommend that the draft of the Massage Parlor Ordinance be sent to the Attorney far review and returned to the Urban Affairs Committee with his recommendations and couunents. YES - 6 - NO - 0. (See attached draft copy.) Rick Kelley distributed copies of the proposed ordinance regulating vending machines and amusement devices. He stated that the City Attorney had reviewed the Committee's proposed ordinance and made a couple very minor changes. He stated that a citizen, Mr. Joe Shirk, was asked to comment on the proposed ordinance; he is supposed to consult with some of the vending machine and amusement machine owners to get their feedback. The Committee members questioned "who" Mr. Shirk is and "why" it was refered to him. They are concerned about the ordinance being refered to a citizen for comment. The Committee members questioned why they have a Committee; it is their understanding that the Council either accepts or rejects their proposals. They feel that the Mayor or Council should have met with the Committee if there were questions. They asked what Mr. Shirk`s interests are and felt that he should have met .with the Urban Affairs Committee if he had any questions or comments. The usual procedure is to meet with the Committee rather than investigate on their own. Mr. Kelley noted that the Council had two questions on the Ordinance -- 1) They wanted to qualify why the soft drink machine was a different price -- Mr, Sheldon corrected that in the ordinance so that only bottled or canned soft drink dispensing machines are $10.00. 2) Barb Savanick wanted to have the fee schedule set by Resolution rather than Ordinance so that it could be more easily changed in the future. Mr. Kelley stated that the fees have to be included within the Ordinance due to the way the enabling legislation is worded. Mr. Kelley also noted that Mr. Sheldon changed the Revocation and Penalty sections in the ordinance. The ordinance will probably go to the Council on December 28, 1978 for consideration. Rick Kelley said that the next assignment for the Gommittee is to investigate an ordinance regarding traffic circulation in the commercial area; at the present time the City has no legal recourse on private property. The Ordinance would allow the Police to enforce traffic signs, etc. on private property. The Ordinance basically allows an agreement to be drawn up to allow the police to enforce the traffic signs, etc. in the Commercial area. He noted that a sample has been sent for from Maple Grove where they have a similar policy. The next Urban Affairs Committee Meeting will be on January 4, 1978, Meeting Adjourned.
