Mr. Tedesco:
Please find attached a propos d City Council Resolution which deals with the
revision of Chapter 22 of th legislative eode.
Chapter 225 would be r vised n such a fashion as to be compatible with the c r-
responding ordinance o the C ty of Minneapolis. The necessity for this acti n
is contained in propos _d stat legislation which would supercede our ordinanc on
regulating the purchas and c rrying of firearms. Since that act would open his
city to additional lia ility isks and our citizens to potential risk, I urge the
rapid adoption of the esolut on.
Governor Perpich has u ged th t Minneapolis and St. Paul take the necessary a tion
related to this issue s quic ly as possible. I recommend adoption of this
resolution in your ses ion on April 30, 1985•
SincereTy,
W�m. W. Mc�u�t�ti�'bn
