<br /> trucks. Chief Packard suggested that the council tryout the new ordinance for <br /> -- 90 days to see how it works and then consider whether additions are necessary. <br /> He said that he believed the council could regulate firearms within the city <br /> limits if it chose to do so. Mr. Swanson cautioned that restricting firearms as <br /> proposed by Councilor Obie might conflict with State or US constitutional laws. <br /> Councilor Hamel said that he had been under the impression that towing was only <br /> done when the owner of the property telephoned the towing firm to request that a <br /> specific illegally parked car be removed. He felt that the City should put an <br /> end to the practice of "cruising" and put the onus back on the property owners. <br /> He agreed with Councilor Obie that it was important for staff to check into <br /> possible restrictions to eliminate carrying of firearms in tow trucks. <br /> Councilor Smith suggested that staff attend the October 13 Tow Truck Association <br /> meeting and that the council reconsider the ordinance after that meeting. <br /> Councilor Schue disagreed and felt that it was best to get the ordinance into <br /> effect as soon as possible and then discuss possible adjustments to it. <br /> Mayor Keller appointed a task force consisting of Chief Packard, City Attorney <br /> Les Swanson, John Detroit, Kirt Stockwell, Allen ludwick, and a representative <br /> from the City Manager's Office to meet and discuss the issues which had been <br /> raised. He asked that the item be postponed to the September 16 council agenda <br /> and that the task force report back at that time. Councilors agreed by consensus <br /> to this arrangement and to the suggested postponement. <br /> The following items were held over: <br /> e IV. Resolution Amending Resolution Creating Emerald Canal Feasibility Task <br /> Force <br /> V. Traffic Control Ordinance Providing for Police Community Service Officers, <br /> Police Explorers, and Police Reserves to Direct Traffic <br /> VI. Condemnation Authorization for Purchase of Street Right-Of-Way for <br /> Roosevelt Boulevard Paving Project <br /> VI I. Resolution Regarding the Metropolitan Area Traffic Signal System Project <br /> VII I.
