noted that the Court had not ruled on the validity of the general state Sunday
Closing Statute because the complaint had not alleged a violation of the general
statute. Mr. Whitlock pointed o,ut that the Court had gone out of its way to in-
dicate that Sunday closing legislation is lawful and constitutional if properly
drawn. Councilman Johnson noted that he believes that all Sunday closing legis-
lation is arbitrary and discriminatory. Stating that he decries Sunday opening

1968 SALARY RESOLUTION AMENDED. Mr. Hyde. reviewed a ne morandum which he had sent
to Council stating that Edina has fallen behind neighboring municipalities in
salary schedules for the Police Department and recommended certain revisions in
the 1968 Salary Resolution for these departments in order to bring salaries to a
level which compares to other municipalities. He further recommended approval of
the basic concept of establishment of an Educational Incentive Program, details
of which would be worked out at a later date. He noted that the approximate cost
for granting such increases would be approximately $3,000 per month, and that the
increase could be charged to the Contingency Account or taken from Unappropriated
Surplus. Mr. Hyde further recommended that the salary of Planner Fred Hoisington
be increased as of April 1 from $775 to $825 to bring his salary more in line

FRANCE AVENUE PARKING NORTH OF CROSSTOWN HIGHWAY TO BE RESTRICTED. Mr. Hite advised
Council that the County and the Traffic Safety Committee have both requested that the
Village prohibit curb parking on each side of France Avenue immediately north of the
ramps of the Crosstown for a distance of approximately 300 feet.. Mayor Bredesen
pointed out that he feels that this restriction would cause considerable inconvenience
for guest parking, and that this situation is no more troublesome than conditions in
the 50th and France business area. The possibility of elimination of all parking on
France Avenue as future traffic conditions warrant was also discussed. Mr. Hite poin-
ted out that parking restrictions in the 50th and France area would be discussed at
the meeting of April 15. Councilman VanValkenburg's motion that parking on France
Avenue north of-the Crosstown Highway be restricted during rush hours only, in view
of the fact that 50th and France Avenue parking restrictions will be considered at
the meeting of April 15, was seconded by Councilman Courtney and carried.'
ORNAMENTAL STREET LIGHTING POLICY DISCUSSED.
1,100 or 1,200 street lights in the Village only about 150 are ornamental lights and
Mr . Hite advised Council that out of
recommended that consideration now be made to improve both the quality and the quan-
tity of street lighting facilities. This improvement is brought bo the attention of
Council at this time in view of the fact that the new areas which have underground
wiring are now in need of street lights and because the Country Club area street
lighting system is now in need of replacement. For the new areas served by under-
ground wiring, Northern States Power has proposed to install an ornamental street
lighting system and recover the cost by adding $1.00 per month per fixture to the
standard street lighting charge as established by contract. This would raise the
cost for a normal 175 watt mercury vapor street light from $45 to $57 annually.
Hite pointed out that a decision must be reached as to whether the General Fund
should assume the additional $12 per fixture or whether some other source should be
used to bear this additional cost. With an expected life for each fixture this
would cost from $240 to $360. If the General Fund was authorized to assume this
additional cost for the new areas, then possibly the General Fund should equally
support a part of the proposed Country Club improvement which Northern States
Power will not install.

has benefited from the ornamental system through a reduced annual electric charge.
Mr. Hite pointed out that the charge for an ornamental light as exists in the
Country Club area is $30 versus $45 for a standard overhead lighting throughout the
Village. In a sense, the residents of this area have not received any return on
their investment.
Fund assume the total cost of street light improvement thus avoiding complicated
assessment policies. Mr. Hite pointed out that if the General Fund was to pay fully
for street light improvements, it would take about'a two mill levy to support such a
program, which when compared with the present total Village mill rate of 28.55 is
substantial. Following considerable discussion Councilman Shawls motion that the
decision as to means of paying for street lighting be continued pending receipt of
a recommendation from Mr. Hite was seconded by Councilman Courtney and carried.
