MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
DATE: MARCH 21, 1980
SUBJECT: SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING
The Advisory Planning Commission is meeting on Tuesday, March 25, 1980,
for their regular meeting. Because the meeting is not scheduled to last
long, it was felt by the Mayor, Chairman of the Planning -Commission and - -
staff that this would be a good opportunity for members of the City Council
and Planning Commission to meet and discuss the comments that were made
in the recent informal meetings regarding the Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
This would allow members of the APC and City Council to give direction
to the Consulting Planner, Mr. John Voss, and City Planner, Mr. Dale Run--
kle, - regarding changes to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and, further,
to establish a date for the final- hearing. By meeting Tuesday evening
to discuss these matters, it will be possible to have the final hearing some-
time in late April. It will take Mr. Voss approximately twenty to thirty
days to make all the final changes, print_ the documents and have them
ready for public inspection prior to the final public hearing. The only
comments recorded by the City Administrator were those recorded in minutes
of the March 6, 1980, informal meeting at Pilot Knob Elementary School.
Representatives of Miller & Schroeder are willing to make a brief presenta-
tion and answer question regarding Industrial Revenue Mortgage Financing
on Tuesday evening and therefore this item has been set for 7:00 p.m.
in -the office of the City Administrator. It seems appropriate to spend
about half an hour to an hour on this topic, and assuming , there is addi-
tional time available, the City Council could informally discuss the outcome
of Mak'n Magic vs. the City of Eagan case regarding enforcement of the
drug paraphernalia ordinance which was ruled upon by the Eighth District
- - Court of Appeals in ,St. Louis this week. _
Nothing has been received regarding the decision on this case by the City
Attorney's office or the City Administrator's office. Late this afternoon,
I called the law clerk for the Federal District Court and was informed that
they will not receive the decision for thirty (30) days, at which time they
will then notify the affected parties. I then decided to contact the Eighth
District Circuit Court in St. Louis. and was informed that the judge's ruling
was nine pages in length. They would not read the entire decision but
did read the last paragraph which appears to be a summary. It reads
as follows:
On the basis of this record, we have no alternative but to
reverse and remand the directions that the District Court enter
a preliminary -injunction until a trial at which the merits of
the ordinance can be `fully weighed.

City Administrator
