CITY COUNCIL MINUT'ES: April 25, 2005 - Page -4- CITY ATTORNEY'S MATTERS Mr. Dahl asked that he be directed to draft an ordinance expanding on the circumstances under which the City makes it unlawful to provide alcohol to minors. Our code presently covers the circumstance in which someone purchases alcohol and then provides it to a minor and that's illegal, but it doesn't cover the circumstance in which the minor goes in to purchase the alcohol and the retail establishment fails to determine the age of the minor. There is a state statute on the subject, but we want it to be written in the municipal court. It will only require a subsection to the section dealing with sales to minors. Mr. Gokey moved for Mr. Dahl to write the Ordinance and bring it forward; seconded by Mr. Schulz; carried 8-0. ELECTED OFFICIALS' MATTERS Mr. Stites asked that the dying Evergreen tree in front of City Hall that was planted in honor of Bonnie Scoma be replaced. Mrs. Rotola reported that she learned at a Jefferson County Housing Authority meeting that they rehabilitated several houses in the City of Wheat Ridge to the tune of about $150,000.
