Councilman Griffin submitted a written outline of his concerns as listed:
- "I continue to support the concept of a Sister City Program with an
Austrian community, and I applauded the Mayor's efforts to excite our
community and that of the town of Mondsee.
- There are several features to this proposed project that merit further
consideration, and I feel they should not be overlooked:
1. SCI guildelines encourage a clear understanding of how the local
program is to be structured. I feel the Council ought to express a
preferred structure now. See agenda report page 2 -9.
2. The program's success will rely in great measure upon community
support, especially from volunteers. We need to confirm the fact of
that enthusiasm. In this regard, I propose that the PCC be involved
in development of the project work statement, testing community
interest, and in initial efforts to bring the project to reality.
3. The fiscal /resource implications of this proposed project should
be made crystal clear. This will be the fifth such program that I've
had personal involvement in, and I am very sensitive to both direct
and indirect public resources that must go into a meaningful, and
beneficial relationship. This Council has a stiff agenda ahead of
it. How will this project fit into it and on what priority ?"
Councilman Dunin was Concerned about the scope of the project. He felt
that the sister city relationship with San Blas and the discussion of
having a sister cities program with Salzburg failed, and he felt that if
this program was going to be successful, the emphasis must be on the
community rather than being a governmental program. To that extent, he
felt that the cost was probably secondary as long as staff was not playing
a large part in the program itself. He would support the concept.
Councilwoman Dovey suggested that this be done on a less formalized basis
staying away from the structure as outlined in the attachments. She felt
that the Council was leaning towards a citizens committee which she could
support. She would also suggest that it be run by the PCC and other
individuals that had been previously involved in putting together the
Mozarteum activities.
After discussion and on motion of Councilman Dunin, seconded by Councilman
Settle, $200 was appropriated for one -year membership with Sister Cities
International with the Mayor authorized to form a committee of interested
adhoc groups and individuals for the purpose of exploring and making
recommendation on guidelines for establishing a sister city program with
Mondsee (5 -0).
3. CAMPING AND OVERNIGHT SLEEPING (File #702)
Council discussed and reviewed proposed regulations to prohibit camping
and overnight sleeping in public and private places.
Paul Lanspery, City Administrative Officer, reviewed the agenda report
stating that the recommended action was for Council to review the draft
report submitted by Chief Englert and the draft ordinance and make other
suggestions if necessary. This would be scheduled for a future public
hearing, probably at the October 1 Council meeting for introduction of the
ordinance.
Councilman Griffin requested that the staff report be expanded to include
additional background information, perhaps reviewing recommendations by
the homeless task force, various options and alternatives in addition to
those listed and set this for a public hearing so that all possible public
input could be made available prior to Council taking any action.
Councilwoman Dove y suggested that staff bring back a full agenda report
responding to the Council questions raised at today's meeting and have a
proposed draft ordinance available for a future public hearing.

Councilman Settle would support an ordinance coming back but agreed that
staff should list as many alternatives as possible.
After discussion and upon general consensus, Council directed staff to
bring back an expanded agenda report to include additional background
information, various options and alternatives and draft ordinance(s) for
Council review (5 -0).
1:40 p.m. Councilman Griffin left the meeting.

C -1 Upon suggestion by Councilman Settle, Mayor Billies was directed to
write a letter opposing President Reagan's tax reform proposal as it
relates to tax exempt bonding and the elimination of deducting State and
local property, sales and income taxes.
There being no further business to come before the City Council, Mayor
Billig adjourned the meeting at 1:45 p.m. to Tuesday, September 24, 1985,
at 7:00 p.m.

1. ALCOHOL IN CITY PARKS (File #804)
Council held a public hearing to consider granting final passage to
Ordinance No. 1042 amending the Municipal Code prohibiting alcohol in
certain city parks (Continued from 9- 3 -85).
Jim Stockton, Recreation Director, reviewed the agenda report stating that
the recommended action was final passage of the ordinance. He then spoke
to specific provisions of the ordinance explaining which parks would have
total prohibition and which ones would allow areas for consumption of
alcohol. He stated of the 948 acres in the city park system, the
ordinance would represent 3% or 31 acres of the park system being
affected.
