Mr. O'Grady advised that he had forwarded a request with respect to Porter Road and Mr. Petre advised that the survey is now in progress. Mr. Tallon asked again about the new locks and keys for City Hall; Mayor replied the keys are on order. Law Director Gareau stated the in response to Mrs. Saringer's earlier comment, he had not been in attendance at the meeting dealing with the stun gun legislation however he did attend a separate meeting and contrary to what Mrs. Saringer said, this group concluded that the legislation in its present form was not really appropriate because it was a prohibition rather than a regulation; also discussed the fact that there is presently pending before the state legislature a bill dealing with the control and use of stun guns, which, if passed, would moot any ordinance that the city would pass because it would be a law of general circulation. There are a number of things that need to be looked at and it was his impression that the Safety Director and members of the Police Department are not 1007 in favor of this legislation.
