Dear Dick;
The present City Commission has ddtermined that it would be more
appropriate if those who have recently been elected to the City
Commission would call a Pub lic Hearing to consider the rezori:i;ng
of your property.
You. ,can appreciate the time involved in the calling of a Public
Hearing; the publishing of notices, preparation of an ordinance',
and the various details-involved in the rezoning of property.
I have been instructed that this matter will not appear on the agenda
of the last regular meeting of the present City Commission.
At this time, Mayor-elect Paul Wallin and Mayor Don Harris propose
to have a change of elected administrators on the evening. of November
18. Normally there is no business transacted at this meeting. This
then presents some delay, as the next regular scheduled meeting of the
City Commission will be on the 25th.
I will discuss your situation with the newly elected administration
and will advise you when it will be placed on the agenda.
Should you desire to discuss this matter in further detail, please
call me.
Yours very truly,
/s/ Whitt Johnson
City Manager
