Mayor Lannoye presented to the Councilmen, a copy of the letter forwarded to local merchants, explaining the City+s position in the matter.

Mayor Lannoye requested that John Carlson contact Mr. Weaver and terminate the City's monthly costs for Merchant Police services. The Council members consider the contract broken by Mr. Weaver as of May 1, 1971, since that was the day he ceased providing service to the city, without official notification. The Mayor and Council feel the city is no longer obligated under the contract.
