Mayor Hunter accepted the check and commended Multivision for their service to

additional programs they bring to the community.
119; PRESENTATION ~¥ STATE AND COUNTY AGRICULTURAL REPRESENTATIVES CONCERNING
MALATHION SPRAYING: Mr. James Harnett, Agricultural Commissioner, County of
Orange, first submitted a 9-page document to the Council and to those who
wished a copy present in the Chamber audience entitled - "Medfly Eradication
Program and Stafety of Malathion" (made a part of the record). He then
explained why malathion spraying commenced in Orange County and briefed
portions of the document submitted which emphasized that malathion spraying
does not constitute a threat to public health especially in the exceedingly
low doses being used in the spraying along with the safeguards implemented in
the eradication program. With him today is a representative of the State of
California involved in the project of eradicating the medfly and Dr. Tom
Pendergast, Local Health Eptdemiologtst who were present to answer questions
if the need should arise.
Don Henry, Chief, Test Detection, Emergency Projects Planning Branch,
California Department of Food and Agriculture. He answered questions posed by
the Mayor relative to the status of additional facilities to produce sterile
medflies to combat the pest thereby reducing the necessity for aerial
applications. If the spraying were stopped until May as suggested, there
would be far greater than 3,720 miles to treat with sterile medfltes. By that
time, they would need more than 500 million to 600 million sterile flies.
116
157
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES February 6, 1990, 5;30 P.M.
Mr. Harnett then explained that extensive information was brought before the
County Board of Supervisors earlier in the day where other experts gave their
input. Spraying of an entire acre contains only a minimum amount of
material. It consists of large droplets, too large to inhale. It is a
process that has been checked out for a number of years and the same used in
the 1981-82 infestations. Malathion has been around for 30 years and is one
of the safest pesticides available. If people have concerns and if there are
studies that show lack of safety, the Department of Agriculture would like to
see those studies. He then gave a "hotline" number - 447-7118 which is
available every work day and on the evening of the baitings until 2:00 a.m.
The next bait applications are scheduled for February 12, 1990 in the Brea, La
Habra, Fullerton area and on February 15, 1990 in Westminster, Garden Grove,
Anaheim and the other nine cities involved in that process area.
Bob Taylor, resident of Anaheim. He lives on Katella in the spray zone. He
is speaking on behalf of a new organization - Orange County Citizens against
Malathion Spraying. It is the umbrella organization of citizens groups from
Anaheim, Brea, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Garden Grove, Laguna Beach,
Huntington Beach, Santa Aha, Westminster and Tustin. Yesterday they had a
press conference and made an extensive statement. He thereupon submitted the
statement entitled - "Statement for Orange County Citizens Against Malathion
Spraying before the County Board of Supervisors, February 6, 1990." He then
highlighted/briefed portions of the statement expressing their opposition to
the state's program of spraying malathion over urban areas. Up to now, more
than 400 square miles of Los Angeles and Orange Counties including about 50
cities and millions of people have been sprayed with the sprayings to continue
over the next six months. "This situation is unjustified, intolerable and
dangerous to our health and property. There is simply no emergency which
would justify this level of state action." The thrust of the groups' action
is to stop the spraying, the concern being that malathion, being a toxic
poison, does pose a risk to human health. It has not been fully tested for
its health and environmental effects. What they would like from the City of
Anaheim is moral and political leadership which can recognize a misguided and
irresponsible state program, a disastrous program which affects the health and
environment of the City. He urged the Council to vote to call for a halt to
the spraying and instruct the City Attorney to join with Huntington Beach,
Westminster and Garden Grove to seek a court injunction to stop the spraying.
It is a time for leadership and they look to the Council for help.
Jerry Yettelson, resident of Garden Grove. Two medflles have been found in
the spray zone. Because of that, two tons of malathion and an additional
3 1/2 to four tons of corn syrup are being dumped on citizens. From the
testimony given today before the Board of Supervisors by many experts, it is a
mixed record relative to health effects involved which he explained. Further,
the state did not see fit to breed enough sterile medflies for the coming
season which as a result, the citizens are being asked to subject themselves
not only to tens of millions of dollars of taxpayer money being wasted on the
program, but also to an invasion of their privacy and sanctity of their
homes. They are asking the Council to go to the legislative delegation and
ask them for the legislative authority so that the citizens can require review
of such programs. They are hoping the Council will see fit to express the
concerns of its residents. They have an opportunity to go into court on the
117
City Hall, Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES
February 6. 1990, 5:30 P.M.
15th of February to stop the mixed spraying, the next spray program scheduled
for the 15th with a temporary restraining order. They need all the moral
authority they can get and would appreciate the Council's support.
Paul McClain, Molecular Biologist. The state continually repeats they have
studies that show malathion is safe, but they have not addressed the issue of
adverse health effects. He is concerned about the long term effects of
chronic repeated exposures on which no scientific studies have been done. He
read portions of a letter/statements by experts relative to these long-term
effects concluding that there are numerous issues to be addressed in terms of
adverse health effects, none of which have they heard anybody from the state
address but only the toxicology.
Mayor Hunter then read in full a proposed resolution of the City Council
opposing the aerial application of malathion insecticide in Orange County,
urging a postponement of any further aerial malathion applications until
independent and reliable analysis shows conclusively that such application is
not hazardous to human health or the environment, that alternatives to aerial
spraying be implemented, that there be comprehensive public education by both
state and county health officials, that the state adopt urgency legislation
repealing a portion of the food and agriculture code which now prohibits local
regulation of the use of economic poisons and also granting to local
government the authority to prohibit aerial spraying of any economic poisons
within its boundaries and that the same code be amended to permit challenges
to the Director of Food and Agriculture throughout any portion of an active
pest eradication project.
Councilman Daly offered Resolution No. 90R-39 for adoption.
RESOLUTION NO, 90R-39; A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM OPPOSING THE AERIAL APPLICATION OF MALATHION INSECTICIDE IN ORANGE
COUNTY.
Before a vote was taken, he commended the City Attorney's Office for the
research done on the matter and in preparing the resolution. He also thanked
Mr. Taylor for the extraordinary amount of research done and for bringing the
matter to the attention of local officials in such a dignified and thorough
manner.
Councilman Ehrle. He concurs with Councilman Daly. He is very supportive of
the proposed resolution. He would like to see the spraying stopped
immediately. More research and study needs to be done.
Councilman Pickler. He is hoping all cities in Orange County will join in.
Until it is proven conclusively that malathion spraying is not harmful, it is
essential to stop the spraying and stop it immediately.
Councilman Daly. He also thanked the representatives of the county and state
for being present in sharing their information with the Council and citizens.
Councilwoman Kaywood. She commended all present this evening on the issue,
especially for their courtesy and decorum so that everyone was allowed to
118
City Hall. Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 6. 1990, 5;30
speak. Sh6 feels there is more to learn on the issue. Relative to the
agricultural business and the food chain of California and the world, that is
very important too. It is necessary to have more answers. People are the
most important component in the whole issue.

174; PUBLIC HEARING - 16TH YEAR (1990-91) COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT
(CDBG) PROGRAM AND BUDGET: To consider the recommendation submitted by the
Communitywide CDBG Citizen Participation Committee for a total of $2,223,445
CDBG allocation plan and an alternative program and budget of $2,280,445 in
the event a higher level of funding is allocated. Submitted was report dated
January 22, 1990 from Bertha Chavoya, Housing Manager/Community Development
Department, recommending the above plans, attached to which was the
Committee/staff recommendations for the 1990/91 budget, list of funding
requests received, minutes of the November 15 and December 6, 1989
Communitywide CDBG Citizen Participation Committee meetings wherein public
input was received, and requests from non-profit organizations (previously
made a part of the record).
Lisa Stipkovich, Director of Community Development.
The Council is being presented with a budget that was prepared
at the direction of the Communitywide CDBG Citizen Participation
Committee. Two alternate amounts are listed due to the
uncertain level of funding from HUD. It is felt that both
levels can be accommodated in the fiscal year budget. The
Committee held several meetings and prepared the budget after
listening to much testimony from organizations requesting
funds. Mr. Keith Olesen will review the proposed budget
recommended by the Committee.
127
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 6, 1990, 5;30 P.M.
Mr. Keith Olesen, 321 North W~, Chairman, Communitywide CDBG
Citizen Participation Committee.
The proposed funding level submitted to the Council (see
January 22, 1990 memo from the Community Development Department
along with attachment 1 - recommendations for FY-1990/91 CDBG
Program) is a result of numerous meetings and interviews.
Representatives of the Committee actually visited the
people/organizations requesting funds. A great deal of input
was also received from the Neighborhood Councils. As noted by
the documentation, there are more needs expressed than dollars
available and some activities did not get funded at all. The
recommendation on funding is the best effort of the Committee on
how to allocate the limited resources. The budget
recommendation is comprised of two parts - the first, a basic
program and budget of $2,223,445 at a 10% program reduction from
current year funding and secondly, backup activities totalling
$57,000 for a budget total of $2,280,445 at a 7.5% reduction.
He also explained that CDBG regulations limit the amount
available for public service allocations to 15%.
In concluding, Mr. Olesen stated, as a Committee, they all voted
to address the City Council asking the Council to recognize the
needs not only Citywide but also in the particular target areas
the funds cover and to match those funds with City dollars in
order to fund those needs which can no longer be funded by a
single source.
Staff then answered questions posed by Council Members.
Bertha Chavoya, Housing Manager.
Explained for Councilman Daly that approximately $68,000 in
funds have been made available to the Jeffrey/Lynn Community
this year. Currently there is another $100,000 that is being
carried forward and being added to the $200,000 for the mobile
unit proposed for the area which is then approximately
$300,000. There is also $47,000 for operating for next year and
the current $68,000 for this year. In that $68,000, about
$10,000 is marked by the Council for some of the activities. It
is a combination of CDBG dollars and a $10,000 grant, or money
that was donated by the City Council.
Lisa Stipkovich, Director of Community Development.
They are asking the Council to approve both budgets to give them
the flexibility when they find out exactly how much they will be
getting from HUD to work on the backup projects as well. The
purpose of having the hearing at this time is to be able to make
the changes in the City budget. It does not go to HUD at this
time. The hearing is held now to enable staff to prepare for
their own internal process in order to get it into the City
system. Answering Councilman Pickler, she stated there is no
rush in approving it today but they are getting close to some of
their deadlines internally.

Councilman Pickler.
He would like a continuance of the public hearing since he had
not had an opportunity to study the documentation in depth. He
thereupon moved to continue the public hearing on the 16th year
CDBG Program and budget for one week. Councilman Daly seconded
the motion for the purpose of discussion.
Before action was taken, Mayor Hunter stated he is opposed to a
continuance. The same thing happened last year and the year
before that. During the continuance, the Council starts
receiving phone calls from those organizations either requesting
funding or wanting more funds. The Council did not attend the
meetings held by the Committee. The charge of the Committee is
to bring forward to the Council the best recommendation for
allocation of CDBG funds. They have done their job. He
reiterated, he is opposed to a continuance, the sole purpose of
which is to give an opportunity for people to lobby to change
the numbers, something he does not want to do.
Councilman Daly.
He would like to see a layout of last year's actual spending vs.
the current fiscal year proposed, i.e., 1989/90 actual
allocation vs. 90/91 proposed allocation.
Lisa Stipkovtch.
Staff can put it all on one sheet showing the Committee's
recommendation and what was requested and what was allocated in
the current year.
Councilman Daly.
The Council has received a strong push for additional funds for
the YMCA, Boys and Girls Club and~rning~bint. That needs to
be discussed further. He would like to ask staff, if the
Council wants to allocate more money to those programs from
non-CDBG funds, where those funds may be obtained. That is a
recommendation that has come from the Committee. A vote was
then taken on the motion to continue the public hearing for one
week and carried by the following vote:

There are two separate issues, one is the budget presented to
the Council. The second item which is totally separate is that
the Committee has asked, because of the decreasing amount of
funds and increase in the need for those funds, that the Council
look into the idea of using general fund monies to supplement
the CDBG allocations in the public service areas which is what
the letter meant to address. It would have to happen totally
separate of the GDBG budget. If they can use general fund
monies to supplement the budget, those funds should be used in
the same areas recognized by the Committee.

Neighborhood Council. She has served on the Block Grant
Committee for three years. She cautioned the Council regarding
lobbying. While she concedes that it is useful and nice to have
friends on the Council, the people who need funding usually do
not have access. She reminded the Council of NIPA, the great
deal of lobbying that occurred, and what ultimately happened.
She urged before the Council start switching funds around to
remember the needs of the people.
There being no further persons who wished to speak, Mayor Hunter Closed the
public hearing.

No other action is necessary at this time. The public hearing

APPLICANT'S
STATEMENT:
Jeff Warmoth, Baldwin Company.
The Baldwin amendment proposes to accomplish four things:
Incorporate into the Specific Plan a revised definition of lots
which the Council previously approved, update the Development
Plan to reflect previously approved Density Transfer Requests
89-01 and 89-02, amend the zoning and Development Standards for
Residential Development Area 202 to allow for the development of
condominiums and townhomes, amend Zoning and Development
Standards for Residential Development Areas 104, 203, 206 and
207 to allow for single-family detached homes.
Mr. Warmoth then clarified for Councilwoman Kaywood relative to
parking, the width of the homes is 20 feet and there will be
2-car garages in the single-family detached product. It will be
the same amount of parking as for the single-family attached
product.
Linda Johnson, Assistant Planner.
The driveways will conform to the existing code standard of
20 feet with a roll up door and 25 feet without. There will be
2-car garages and the driveway will be able to accommodate two
cars.
Mayor Hunter asked if anyone wished to speak either in favor or in opposition;
there being no response he closed the public hearing.
Mrs. Johnson then clarified for Councilwoman Kaywood that the
overall density would not change from previously approved tract
maps. For the Development Areas 104, 203, 206 and 207, the
General Plan allows up to 16 units per acre but each of those
comes under a lower density.

This is a City initiated General Plan Amendment from medium
density residential to low medium density residential. The low
medium density would be consistent with the existing density of
both the projects involved. There are two separate projects - a
large condominium to the north and a small condominium project
to the south. The reclassification from RM-1200 to RM-2400 only
affects the smaller property to the south and it was recommended
so that the property zoning would be consistent with the
recommended General Plan Amendment. The existing project on the
property is constructed at a density of 15-units per acre which
is within the density requirement of low medium density
residential designation.

is not allowed at all.
Paul Singer, Traffic Engineer. On this particular unit it is against City
standards to have tandem parking on both sides of the aisle. At the time the
Planning Commission considered the project, he brought that to the
Commission's attention. The Commission required the developer to add 8 feet
to the width of the aisle between the parking spaces in order accommodate
maneuvering cars pulling in and out of the spaces. That is the way the
Planning Commission approved it. He had pointed out, it may set a precedent

and may not be desirable. Tandem parking is permitted. There is the ability
to park in tandem in residential complexes. However, both sides of the same
aisle cannot be parked in tandem. In this case, it was allowed with the
addition of the 8-foot width to the existing 25-foot aisle.
Councilwoman Kaywood. She thought they had discussed in order to have tandem
in apartments, it was necessary to have a larger space to pull one car out and
allow for the other car to pull out and go back in.
Paul Singer. It was never officially changed. There was a recommendation to
reduce tandem parking to a maximum of 25%. At the time, the Planning
Commission agreed but when it came before the Council, the ordinance did not
pass.
Councilwoman Kaywood requested a review of the Planning Commission's decision
on Variance No. 4011; Councilman Daly concurred.
Mayor Hunter. He feels it is a waste of taxpayer's money. He is concerned
about many items which are set for a public hearing before the Council after
being approved by the Planning Commission. He would like to know over a
year's period what it is costing the taxpayers to have all of these public
hearings.
Councilman Ehrle. He would also like to know the cost. He moved to have
staff research the matter from the time the Council required a second from
another Council Member in order to set a public hearing before the Council
the time staff has to spend setting and preparing for the hearings and what
the votes have been in terms of overturning the Planning Commission.

Councilman Pickler. He has no problem with the motion but the scope of the
motion is asking too much. He still feels that any Council Member should have
the prerogative of setting a hearing before the Council. If not, they cannot
do the job they are supposed to do.
Councilman Daly. He would have no problem with the motion if it is to ask
staff to give the cost of a typical item approved by the Planning Commission
and then set for a public hearing by the Council. He is not interested in any
r~vi~w over th~ pa~t 1 1/2 year~. Thi~ project has two waivers and it exceeds
the City's minimum site area per dwelling. It is the kind of project the
Council has overturned in the past year.
Mayor Hunter. He suggested that Councilman Ehrle withdraw his motion and that
the request instead be for staff to research and report on costs involved when
an item is set for an additional public hearing before the City Council.
The motion was thus amended. MOTION CARRIED.

CORRIDOR ZONES.
ACTION TAKEN BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION:
Recommended code amendment for adoption by City Council.
139
City Hall, Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 6, 1990, 5;30 P.M,
CouncilwomAn Kaywood. She is concerned there will be a proliferation of
ground mounted and TV antennas in the Scenic Corridor with permits and is also
concerned over what high wind damage might be if such equipment is going to be
permitted not only on the ground but also on roofs.
Annika Santalahti, Zoning Administrator. The Planning Commission is seeing a
number of ground mounted antennas in residential areas. The actual visibility
of antennas has been discussed. The ordinance before the Council limits the
height. The Commission felt if properly st~ted and screened it was an
acceptable use and they would prefer to see it as a conditional use rather
than a variance which has findings that are difficult to satisfy in this type
of item. The text in the amendment did address the fact that they have to
have screening which may involve placement in a location where it cannot be
seen from other properties or landscaping methodologies or fencing. That
would be the basis for approving or denying the use permit. She also
clarified that this refers to ground mounted antennas. The roof mounted
equipment prohibition wording is on the second page. Roof mounted equipment
is not allowed and this ordinance does not allow any roof mounted equipment.
She also clarified that such request would be a Zoning Administrative hearing
rather than a Planning Commission hearing.
Councilman Hunter offered Ordinance No. 5095 for first reading.

PERMIT NO. 3224; Public hearing was held on December 15, 1989 and adjourned
to December 27, 1989, relative to the approximate 26 acres of property located
north and east of the northeast corner of Katella Avenue and Douglass Road.
The request was for a change in zone from RSA-43,000(FP), ML and ML(FP) to PR
and PR(FP) on the westerly approximately 9 acres and to permit a parking area
to be accessory to a multi-purpose sports facility with waiver of maximum
fence height on the easterly approximately 17 acres. At the meeting of
December 27, 1989, extensive testimony and input was received (see minutes
that date) at the conclusion of which the City Council certified Environmental
Impact Report No. 299 as being in compliance with CEQA with a Statement of
Overriding Considerations, approved Reclassification No. 89-90-29, and granted
Conditional Use Permit No. 3224.
Subsequently, requests for a rehearing were submitted by the following:
Request for rehearing submitted by William D. Ross, Ross and Scott, on behalf
of Anaheim Stadium Associates, dated January 10, 1990. (Supplemental request
also received dated February 5, 1990).

Supplemental request for rehearing submitted by Donald L. Morrow , Paul,
Hastings, Janofsky and Walker, an behalf of Golden West Baseball Company,
Inc., dated January 15, 1990.
Request for rehearing submitted by Gary B. Roach, Laskin and Graham, on behalf
of the petitioner, Richard Tozer, dated January 17, 1990.
At the meeting of January 23, 1990, Mayor Hunter requested that the requests
for rehearing be continued to an appropriate period of time or to the next
Council meeting since he did not have an opportunity to review the large
packet of material relating to the subject requests. The Council determined
that the requests for rehearing be continued and scheduled this date.
City Attorney White. Because of the broad nature of the stay order that was
entered in the law suit that was filed pertaining to one of these requests for
rehearings, it is arguable that any action the Council would take either
granting or denying the requests that this time would be in violation of that
court order. On that basis, he would recommend the Council continue these
items until February 27, 1990 which would be to a date after the current
scheduled court hearing on the extent and nature of that court order. It is
his belief that the Council acting merely to continue the items would not be a
violation of the existing court order. That is his recommendation at this
time.
Councilman Pickler moved to continue all of the requests for rehearing to
Tuesday, February 27, 1990. Councilman Hunter seconded the motion. MOTION
CARRIED.
Diana Scott, Ross & Scott, representing ASA (Anaheim Stadium Associates). She
was given notice by Rutan & Tucker who she believes represents the City, they
intend tomorrow to go in ex parte to continue this hearing until March 1,
1990. If the requests for rehearing are continued, it should be after
March 1, 1990.
City Attorney White. His recommendation stands as given.
this would be the correct forum to go into those details.
she may want to contact Rutan & Tucker tomorrow.
He does not believe
He suggested that
The requests for rehearing were continued to February 27, 1990 as approved in
the foregoing motion.
ITEMS OF ~U~LIG INTEREST:
Laura Yokoyama, 3411 West Danbrook. She relayed an incident where she was
crossing five children on Knott Avenue between Orange and Lincoln. Were it
not for the fact that she was carrying one of the children, that child would
have been hit by a vehicle that did not stop. She is concerned for the
children who stay after school and have no one to cross them or the elderly or
those who may be in wheelchairs. A light is needed at that location and it is
needed now. It is mid block at the crossing for the Danbrook School.
Orangeview Jr. High is also on one side and Western High on the other side
with many other things in between. It is very difficult to cross safely.
143
City Hall, Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES February 6, 1990, 5;30 P,M.
Councilwoman Kaywood. She asked if a meeting was held and determined that a
light was viable but the money was not available.
Paul Singer, Traffic Engineer. Regarding the intersection of Knott and
Danbrook, Ms. VanGilder has called him many times and he has pointed out, the
School Traffic Safety Committee has made a recommendation for a mid block
pedestrian signal on Knott Avenue at Danbrook at the crosswalk. They have
scheduled installation of that mid block signal in the 1990/91 fiscal budget.
The funds are allocated from the Signal Assessment Fund. It is not a question
of whether there was funding for the signal or not. There are also three
additional mid block pedestrian signals to be scheduled. Although this signal
is high in priority, it is not the highest. Since there appears to be a
special problem in the minds of the residents, they are placing it on the
capital projects for next year. In the meantime, they are in the process of
installing flashing yellow lights along with a new sign regulating the school
speed limit for both approaches on Knott Avenue which will hopefully make
enforcement of that location more viable and obvious that there is a school
crossing at that location. There is also a crossing guard at that location.
There have b~n some problems with the crossing guard not showing up the early
part of the school year. The cost of signal installation is approximately
$42,000.
Ruth VanGilder, 225 South Knott. She read a poem which was tailored to the
concern the residents have that a traffic signal be installed as soon as
possible at the subject location. There have been too many near hits it
takes only one car one time to end a life. She urged the Council to spend the
$40,000 to $60,000 to prevent that from happening.
Mayor Hunter. He asked if Sergeant Tom O'Donnell had contacted Ms. Van
Gelder. On his (Hunter's) recommendation the police are going to do extra
patrol on Knott at Danbrook. They will do as much as they can to cut down on
the speed.
Answering Council questions, Mr. Singer explained again that the light is
budgeted for the 1990/91 budget cycle and under normal procedures the light
will be installed approximately late spring next year (1991). In order to
move it up, the Council could fund the signal from the Council Contingency
Fund.
Councilman Pickler. He feels that there is a need for this light now perhaps
moreso than other areas. He suggested that the light be funded through the
Council Contingency Fund and that that fund be reimbursed the following year.
Mayor Hunter stated he empathizes with the request, however, he hears the same
complaints from other areas all over the City, one in particular for a light
off of Imperial so that children can get to E1 Rancho Junior High. The
traffic speed on Imperial is very fast. It is necessary to follow some
procedures. The subject light is high on the priority list and interim
measures are being taken which will alleviate the situation until a permanent
light is installed.

161
City Hall, Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES February 6, 1990, 5;30 P,M,
Paul Singe~, Traffic Engineer. He is concerned with taking signals out of
order and repriorttizing them. If it should happen in this case, there will
be serious problems with other requests of a similar nature.
Councilwoman Kaywood. She asked if a certain amount of additional funding
were provided, could the light be expedited.
Paul Singer. They could start the design now. Installations of traffic
signals experience delay now due to the delivery of poles. In some instances,
it is six months. Even if the process is expedited, he cannot guarantee
installation for seven or eight months.
City Manager, Bob Simpson. He will have staff take a look at the situation.
It is not a question of funding. They will do what they can to speed up the
process.
Paul Singer. Answering Ms. VanGilder stated he will be happy to notify her as
soon as he has something put together to bring to the Council.
ADJOURNMENT: Councilman Hunter moved to adjourn. Councilman Ehrle seconded
the motion. MOTION CARRIED. (8:45 p.m.)
