I I I I I- I ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JANUARY 8. 1996 9 COlUlcilmember Aplikowski agreed that while it is good to state that the City is against alcohol and tobacco for youths, the project seems to be a "sting" operation and will only get results once. She also expressed concern the City would be responsible for the police costs in the project, and feels the City's police force is currently doing that work. Councilmember Aplikowski also noted that a large portion of youth alcohol consumption occurs in private, not public places. Mayor Probst expressed his support for the project to decrease alcohol and tobacco use among youths, and indicated that the support would be for morale purposes only, not funding. Mayor Probst expressed his respect for the concerns raised. Councilmember Malone suggested moving on to next item on the agenda.
