(There were no guests at the meeting.)
REVIEW OF COUNCIL AGENDA ITEMS:
At this time, Mr. Janus asked about the back up paperwork
pertaining to the Fire /Building Department, which was tabled at
the last Council meeting. This paperwork is to be supplied to
the committee members as soon as possible.
Mr. Janus also brought up the subject of the memo from the City
Manager regarding going through him rather than contacting
department heads directly. He feels the committee members should
go directly to the department heads, and of course, send copies
of their actions to the City Manager.
Mrs. Ptaszek stated she would like to see that privilege remain
with the committee members.
Mr. Mackie stated by the time requests are sent through the
manager's office and he directs them to the department head it
will be too late to do anything. He feels as a time saving
effort the members should be able to talk directly to the
department heads.
Chairman Wasarhaley commented, this would depend on the volume
of the request.
Mr. Janus added, their freedom should not be restricted, in all
due respect to the City Manager's position, they should be
allowed to go directly to the departments. He made a motion that
unless they are directed from the Mayor and City Council that
theyare going to be controlled by the City Manager, they should
continue handling matters the way they have been. Mr. Mackie
seconded the motion. The motion CARRIED 4 -0.
It was agreed to wait until Mr. Carlson is in attendance to
discuss the Cellular Phone Review, since this was his request.
Chairman Wasarhaley explained he had instructed the secretary
which of the Council Agenda Items to copy packages for the
committee. If there is anything else a member wants, let us
know and copies can be made.
Council Agenda Item #5B: Perry R. Barrett re: tree removal permit
for Surrey Ridge and placing sign on property.
Chairman Wasarhaley informed the committee there was a meeting
held today with the Planner and Perry Barrett, so perhaps
something has been worked out.
Mr. Mackie explained how this used to be handled. Mr. Wasar-
haley explained what the present situation is and that the
regulations and ordinance can be interpreted differently, which
is what is happening.
Mr. Janus stated he does not think this will be an environmental
problem. He made a motion that they recommend the tree removal
be granted. Mrs. Ptaszek seconded the motion. The motion
CARRIED 3 -0. Chairman Wasarhaley abstained.
Council Agenda Item 5C: Land Development & Regulatory Agency's

Council Agenda Item 7B: Request to resubmit and reactivate
petition for annexation of 450 acres located 9 /10ths mile South
of Roberts Road with direction for staff to prepare ordinances
that will address annexation, zoning, and related Comprehensive
Plan amendment associated with this request.
Mr. Mackie stated this should not even be on the agenda; this was
turned down because it does not give the City enough revenue.
Mr. Janus agreed no way is this going to be a benefit to the
City. He is leary of the fact that they withdrew their request
to the City, and went to the County, now they are back at the
City. He explained his feelings that this annexation does not
have to be granted in order to keep up with growth. The City is
going to grow, no matter what and they should be careful about
the type of growth they have. The cost of this project is too
great for the City, perhaps if they weren't going to put mobile
homes out there it would be considered differently.
Mrs. Ptaszek added that with permanent homes you would gain
people in the City who would be working and remaining in the
area.
Chairman Wasarhaley commented he would be pleased with a more up-
scale project also.
Mr. Janus made a motion to recommend this annexation, ONLY if the
developer constructs residential /conventional homes on the sites.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Mackie. The motion CARRIED 4 -0.
Mr. Janus stated they must look to the future and do something to
keep the younger working people in this area.
There was conversation at this time about a tradeschool being
needed in this county. Mr. Janus stated this committee should
look into things such as this, and why businesses are closing on
U.S. 1, and getting industry into the City.
There was no further action taken on Council Agenda Items.
Mr. Janus suggested the committee go over the street paving
report at another meeting. He asked if the committee could
schedule a special meeting to review all things they have
discussed to date and what the status is of those items.
They should also discuss what areas to pursue. He reminded the
committee that the Code Enforcement Office and the Code Enforce-
ment Board Chairman were going to be invited to one of their
meetings.
Chairman Wasarhaley asked the members to look over the
information he handed out, it was given to him by Mrs. Gillespie.
He has not had time to review it himself yet.
OLD AND NEW BUSINESS items were gone over previously during
meeting.
There being no further action, Mrs. Ptaszek made a motion to
adjourn. Mr. Janus seconded the motion. Meeting adjourned
6:35 P.M.
