Charge for Bands Playing at the Activity Center

at the Activity Center, with concerns about the potential of a $24 charge from the Activity Center.
She expressed concerns about the charge in that it may curtail participation by members of the band.
Excelsior Boulevard Construction
Council member Rowan expressed concerns that the Excelsior Boulevard publications, which
had recently gone out, did not mention the new intersection at Milwaukee and St. Louis Streets along
Excelsior Boulevard. He asked whether there had been changes in plans due to this oversight in the
publications. He was informed by the City Manager that in fact, there were no changes in the
construction plans.
Concealed Carry Law
Council member Jensen asked about the concealed carry laws and whether or not the Council
could pass a resolution in opposition to making it easier for people to carry concealed weapons. After
discussion Mayor Maxwell indicated that he would review the current legislation and recent einails
from Chief Reid, and suggested it be discussed at a future meeting.

Manager Mielke indicated that time would be set-aside at the beginning of the meeting.
