E 1 RECORD OF OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL CITY OF ROCHESTER, MINNESOTA _Regular Meeting No-19 - Opcembpr 2, 1985 Agenda Item A-1 IThe following is a correction to the minutes of the December 2, 1985 meeting. Alderman Solinger wished that the following statements be recorded as spoken by each individual alderman. This pertains to the E-3 Item E-3 Request to hold teen dances at Dooley's Bar and Grill. Alderman Strain stated that messages should be sent to*the people in favor of this request including the Mayor's MACADA Committee and to tell the people of this community that this Council is very much aware -that the young people want a place to go and hear music and a place to congregate. Alderman Strain said he was not personal], convinced that it should be a bar and he thinks this should be V looked into a little further and perhaps the Mayor's MACADA Committe( and others can get together and see if this situation can be solved. Alderman Solinger stated that he really thinks that we should look at something. We have been supporting the deficit of the Mayo Civic Center and he thinks that something could be done at this establishment opening this up a few evenings or whatever. Possibly having a few game rooms put in. President Postier stated that he is in also in favor of looking into _other establishments for this purpose. Alderman. Strain commented " Let's not let this issue die'.' Rooms may be available for the teens to use and lets find them. Alderman Powers questioned the Council that if they would let the youth use this space without any cost would this cause a problem? Alderman Strain stated that we should allow this use. Alderman Solinger stated that we are supporting the Mayo Civic Center now. Alderman Powers commented that in the past the Council turned down everything including the Boy Scouts for use of this building for no fee. He wonders where the Council would draw the line if the Teen dances were allowed without any cost. Alderman Solinger reminde Alderman Powers that this is a civic project. Alderman Powers said he realized this but so is Boy Scouts. Alderman Strain stated that this is a total community center for a total of young people and we support the Recreation Center and Recreation programs. He thinks; this is a program that we should take back to the Committee of the Whole and talk about the policy the City would like to make.
