Lattin stated that <br />historically some of the liquor store profits have been <br />used vo fund general fund expenditures. Lattin stated <br />that the Police Chief will answer as to the affects on <br />the health, safety and welfare such a resolution would <br />have. <br />Police Chief Kilbo explained that the grocery stores are <br />already selling 3.2 beer and the selling of wine <br />probably wouldn't have a dramatic affect on the selling <br />of .liquor to minors. Kilbo stated that the problem <br />becomes a policing one in that it is hard to police the <br />hours that grocery stores can sell such liquors. <br />Councilmember Grabek felt that the City should not spend <br />extra time fighting a piece of legislation that may be <br />passed anyway. Grabek also noted that once the liquor <br />store dips below the profit level it probably should be <br />closed. <br />The concensus of the Council was to not adopt the <br />resolution prohibiting the sale of wine in grocery <br />stores. <br />SALARY AND BENEFIT <br />REVIEW OF CITY EMPLOYERS <br />Public Works Coordinator Gerhardson presented Council witt <br />tabulation of the proposed increases and benefits for <br />City employees.
