COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilmember Hicks advised the correct date ofthe Northwest Youth and Family Service Bureau fund raising event is September 12, 1996, and tickets are still available. Councilmember Aplikowski asked if the Sobriety School in the Arden Plaza complex has been denied, Mr. Fritsinger explained this appears unlikely to happen because the municipal code prohibits locating a liquor store within 500 feet of a school. He advised the school district has been so notified. Councilmember Aplikowski informed the Council that the Northwest Youth and Family Service Bureau wants this contract, it appears this would be natural location, and a good match.
