PUBLIC COMMENT:
A. Father Targonsky, Kenai. The City sent a letter
of non -objection in Feb. and reiterated in

derogatory to Council. The City has already
involved themselves with this, they should
continue till it is resolved. The ABC vote was
3-2, with 4 members present. The decision in May
was illegal. Back-up material should be sent to
ABC. Councilman Ackerly said historically ABC has
not listened to us. Mayor Williams noted the Nov.
12 letter from ABC extends the modification to
Dec. 4, 1988. Fr. Targonsky said the license will
be revoked on Dec. 4, 1988. It is under

Council is only to renew.
