City Attorney Arthur Frisk look into the matter. Councilman Janet S. Allen said the Federal Law regarding
discrimination as to sex will take care of any local problem. Councilman Allen also feels the Weed Ordinance
should be re- written as the Health Department claims it is not a health problem. Councilman Craven remarked

have just annexed. Councilman Grounds would like the City Attorney to check into the road side stands being
set up in the City to see if they have a license to sell.
NEW BUSINESS

closed doors as far as the ACTION program was concerned. Councilman Allen and Councilman Laven informed her
that what is to be done in the future on the ACTION program was an "Administrative Decision" and that no
legal business is being conducted behind closed doors.
There being no further business to come before the Council, Councilman Allen made a motion to adjourn.
