He said he purchased the land and in 1970 it was zoned "BB". Recently when he checked with the Planning Department, they told him it was not a legal lot and there was "several months of haggling before it was declared a legal lot." Recently he checked with the Water and Nastewater Department and is not going to be allowed a water tap. Mr. Hardin said the lot across the street is going to have 40 condominiums and is having no trouble getting water taps. Mayor Mullen asked Mr. Hardin to meet with the City Manager early next week to discuss his problem. TRAFFIC PROBLEMS AROUND MT. BONNELL ROAD AND 2222 Mr. Robert Giddings appeared before Council to discuss traffic problems around Mt. Bonnell and 2222. He said he is the president of the Lookout Mountain Neighborhood Association and they would like a traffic study.

Mr. Meiszer, City Manager, said the Parks Department has immediate plans to clear the vegetation from the area where the accidents have been happening. He said the State maintains the road and he knows of no plan to increase the width. Marceline Lasater showed a map of the Mt. Bonnell and 2222 area. DE-ANNEXATION REQUESTED Mr. Walter H. Magruder, Mr. Bob L. Thomas, Mr. Charles A. Muller and Mr. William E. Peterson appeared before Council to discuss de-annexation of their property. They said there was a problem with narrow roads for City garbage trucks and want to be de-annexed until the whole neighborhood can be taken in and traffic problems worked out. Mr. Peterson said the trucks have to back up on his lot. Mayor Mullen pointed out that they may be backing up in the easement and not Mr. Peterson's lot. Mr. Meiszer said the staff recommends allowing the annexation to remain and to annex the rest of the subdivision. Staff will go out and look at the situation and come back next week with their recommendation. WATER TAPS IN HYDE PARK Ms. Ruth Reeder discussed water taps in Hyde Park and asked that no more taps be allowed until a study of the water system in the area is done.

EMPLOYEE PAY RATE CHANGED Councilmembers Duncan and Rose introduced an item to Council to reconsider allocation of merit pay for non-civil service meployees of the City of Austin. Council Memo 8 November 3, 1983 C 1 Councilmember Duncan stated: "This is reconsideration of the merit pay allocation made at budget time, whether or not merit pay should be added to the base pay of individuals and there was a split vote on the Council and since then there has been much communication from the employees about this. I still feel the same as I did then and I have indications from other members of the Council that they may have reconsidered and my basic feeling is that we did reduce the amount of merit pay allocated in this budget and that will help take care of the problem of compounding merit pay." Councilmember Rose said "I won't say that I approve of the merit system we are operating under now, but I don't know that switching to the bonus was necessarily the answer and I know that we have an independent study group that is looking at the issue of merit pay. We did reduce the merit pool which somewhat guarantees that all employees will not get a merit increase.......fundamentally, when you do receive a merit increase it should go into your base pay, I think." : Motion Councilmember Duncan made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Rose to add the merit pay increase to the base rate and also the 1% bonus. (7-0 Vote) Mayor Mullen said it was very clear in his mind that some portion was not to be added to the base pay for compounding. "The question came up because there was confusion about what we were discussing. My understanding was that the 1% was supposed to be added into the base pay. It was not added into the base pay. The merit pay was not supposed to be added into the base pay and today we are changing that. I would suggest that we make it clear that if you change the merit pay today that also includes the 1% in addition to the $64.00. If you look at what the Personnel Department is putting out, they are not including the 1% in the base pay and I think you will be right back here next week saying this again. Let's put the whole thing into the base pay for the future and I will vote for the motion but I would like to suggest we get a better handle on where we are going in the future. We came up to budget time trying to find a solution in a very short period of time and it was not done as well as it should have been and we have a full year to try to correct that and find out where we are in relationship to our employees, whether or not we are compounding out too fast and get some facts....." Councilmember Duncan suggested Council have a full work session on pay and fringe benefits next year prior to the budget hearings. Jonathan Davis, Acting City Attorney, asked for a clarification of the 1% bonus and the $64.00 $64, merit pay. Mayor Mullen safd 1% should be added to base pay and then the $64,00 and then the merit pay. Council Memo 9 CHANGES TO BOAT DOCK REGULATIONS November 3, 1983 The City Manager Report on Changes to Boatdock Regulations was presented by Lonnie Davis, Director of Building Inspection. He said on October 13, 1983 Mr. George Creedle spoke to Council regarding boatdocks in the Riverboat Subdivision on Lake Austin. The communication was predicated by the denial of dock permits because of zoning regulations which required accessory uses to be on the same lots as main uses. However, in the case of the Rivercrest Subdivision, property had been dedicated and developed as common recreational property. Mr. Davis said proposals have been developed to change provisions of the zoning ordinance (chapter 13-2) and the lake ordinance (chapter 9-10). These proposals will achieve the following: 1. Create a definition of "residential docks". 2. Limit the number and capacity of residential docks. 3. Revise the definition of "accessory use" to permit a residential 4. dock as an accessory to a main use on another lot, and Establish a nonconformity provision for docks on lots dedicated for common use in a subdivision prior to August 26, 1976. Mr. Davis said it is further recommended that Council encourage Planning Commission and Parks and Recreation Board to complete their review and recommendations forthwith so as not to impede construction activities during the lowering of Lake Austin currently scheduled for January 2, 1984. HEARING SET FOR ANDERSON MILL ANNEXATION Mrs. Sherry Maxwell appeared before Council representing the Anderson Mill Neighborhood Association to request Council to change it's on-site annexation hearing for their area from 4:00P.M., November 16, 1983 to 7:30p.m., November 22 at the Westwood High School. Motion The Council, on Councilmember Urdy's motion, Mayor Mullen's second, approved the request of Anderson Mill Neighborhood Association and set an annexation hearing for November 22, 1983 at 7:30p.m. at Nestwood High School.(7-0 Vote) : HYDE PARK Mr. Grant Thomas appeared before Council to request that no further water or sewer taps be issued in the Hyde Park area until such time as the Water and Wastewater Department has completed its study of the infrastructure capacity in the neighborhood. Motion The Council, on Mayor Pro Tem Trevino's motion, Councilmember Urdy's second, approved this as an agenda item on November 17, 1983. (6-0 Vote, Councilmember Spaeth abstained because he is a property owner in the area.) Council Memo 10 November 3, 1983 REQUIREMENT WAIVED The Council, on Councilmember Shipman's motion, Councilmember Duncan's second, approved the request of Mr. Lawrence Kriegel and waived the requirement that 5' additional right-of-way be a condition of rezoning property located at 2902 Pearl Street. (7-0 Vote) : PUBLIC HEARING - INDUSTRIAL BOND - DAVIS BUILDING Mayor Mullen opened the public hearing set for 1:30 p.m. on an Industrial Bond financed project proposed by the Davis Building. Arclethia Overall, Finance Department, said an additional $1,000,000 is being requested to finish the project. Mayor Pro Tem Trevino said the process should be started at the beginning with the application and review stage. Clark Heidrich, representing the project, said they are asking for additional bonds to complete the project which is approved. The bonds are to pay the contractors. He then submitted to the City Clerk evidence concerning the Davis project. Motion The Council, on Mayor Pro Tem Trevino's motion, Councilmember Urdy's second, closed the public hearing on an industrial bond financed project proposed by the Davis Building. (7-0 Vote) The related resolution approving will be brought back on the November 10, 1983 agenda. PUBLIC HEARING - INDUSTRIAL BOND - SCARBROUGH BUILDING Mayor Mullen opened the public hearing set for 1:45 p.m. on an Industrial Development Bond financed project proposed by the Scarbrough Building. Leon Barish appeared before Council to say the Scarbrough Building is next door to the largest office building in Austin and to designate the area as blighted, ts, he thinks, disgusting. Mayor Councilmember Shipman said she agrees, it is an embarrassment. Mullen safd they are going by Federal law and according to their definition the area is blighted. He said he hopes the law is discontinued. Clarke Heidrich, representing the applicant, submitted a copy of their application to the City Clerk. Motion The Council, on Mayor Pro Tem Trevino's motion, Councilmember Urdy's Council Memo 11 HEARING SCARBROUGH BUILDING (Continued) - - November 3, 1983 second, closed the public hearing, and adopted a resolution approving an Industrial Development Bond Financed Project for the Scarbrough Building, 101 West 6th Street, for the purpose of the Federal Tax Law. (7-0 Vote) SENIOR ACTIVITY CENTER The Council, on Councilmember Shipman's motion, Councilmember Spaeth's second, waived the requirement for three readings and finally passed an ordinance amending the 1983/84 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM by appropriating $62,000 to the Senior Activity Center Project from funds scheduled to be ap appropriated in FY 84/85 for the Mable Davis District Park. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM No. 76/86-41. (7-0 Vote) Councilmember Shipman stated for the record: "This money is short term/ short fall transfer and the money taken will be replaced." RECESS The Council recessed its meeting at 2:50 P.M. and resumed its recessed meeting at 3:15 P.M. CABLE COMMISSION REPORT Ms. Martan Wizard, Cable Commission Chairman, recommended to Council the Commission's suggestion to grant the cable company a $2.75 monthly increase for its 20-channel service but keep its basic 11-channel service at $4.95 with the $5.70 rate for the 20-channel upper tier service increasing to $8.45. In addition the upper tier subscribers will pay $1.50 for converter rental. An increase from $15.00 to $25.00 in the installation fee, as recommended by the company, is also recommended by the Commission. The Commission also recommended that the sports network, ESPN, now available on the lower 11-channel tier, be moved to the upper tier. Councilmember Rose stated he would make the motion to approve the rate increase on first reading today, but after having questions answered by the Cable Commission Office, he may change his mind. Councilmember Duncan seconded the motion with a similar reservation on lack of commitment for the final vote. Motion The Council, on Councilmember Rose's motion, Councilmember Duncan's second, passed through FIRST READING ONLY an ordinance regulating and prescribing rates to be charged for cable television service within the City of Austin by Austin Cablevision. (6-1. Vote, Councilmember Shipman voted NO.) The question of ESPN being changed to the 2nd tier will be on next week's agenda. 1 Council Memo 12 November 3, 1983 : PUBLIC HEARING - APPEAL OF DEMOLITION ORDER Mayor Mullen opened the public hearing set for 3:00 P.M. on an appeal of a demolition order issued by the Building Standards Commission from Al Whitney, regarding property located at 1601 East 1st Street. Lonnie Davis, Director of Building Inspection, reviewed the case by use of slides. He said the recommendation is to deny the appeal because it will cost about $150,000 to renovate the house. AL Whitney told Council the house was built in 1887 and he wants to repair it and asked for 180 days in which to accomplish the repairs. After discussion the following motion was made: Motion The Council, on Mayor Pro Tem Trevino's motion, Mayor Mullen's second, granted a 30 day extension for Mr. Whitney to show financial ability to repair the property at 1601 East 1st Street. (7-0 Vote) Councilmember Shipman said that in the meantime the structure needs to be secured and the litter cleaned up. ITEM POSTPONED The Council agreed to postpone until next week consideration of a resolution amending the Water Supply Contract between the City of Rollingwood and City of Austin. (November 10, 1983) SIX MONTH EXTENSION - BRACKENRIDGE URBAN RENENAL AREA The Council, on Councilmember Duncan's motion, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino's second, adopted a resolution approving a 6 month extension on the required commencement of construction for Russo Properties in the Brackenridge Urban Renewal Area, Parcel No. 20-A. (7-0 Vote) Councilmember Duncan stated for the record that the tree ordinance shall be complied with and the site plan approved. Don Babble, representing Russo Properties, said they will comply with the tree ordinance. Mayor Pro Tem Trevino asked what Russo intends to do in six months. Mr. Babble said they are closer now to completing the project. CONTRACT APPROVED The Council, on Mayor Pro Tem Trevino's motion, Councilmember Duncan's second, adopted a resolution approving the following contract: AMERICAN SWITCHGEAR CORPORATION 4275 Strausser Street N.N. North Canton, Ohio - (7-0 Vote) Automatic metal-enclosed switchgear for State Headquarters Building, 51st & Guadalupe Streets, Electric Utility Department, Item 1 $28,634.00. - Council Memo 13 AIDS RESEARCH November 3, 1983 The Council, on Mayor Pro Tem Trevino's motion, Councilmember Duncan's second, adopted a resolution concerning federal assistance for AIDS research. (7-0 Vote) Prior to the vote, Bob Neely appeared before Council to say he would like the City Council to include in the resolution a statement saying the problem is from corruption of homosexuals and that herpes and AIDS is connected to moral decay. Trudell Green, director of the Blood Center, told Council AIDS cannot be contracted by the donation of blood. Mayor Mullen commented the request on the resolution has nothing to do with choice of sexuality but an attempt to provide more money to cure the disease. ELECTRIC LIGHT & POWER SYSTEM EXTENSIONS Council had before them for consideration a report relating to alternatives for financing Electric Light and Power System extensions and improvements for the City and consideration and authorization of actions to be taken with respect thereto in the form of an ordinance. Ed Aghjayan, Director of Electric Utility, said he is asking for Council direction on Fayette III, a review of funding levels for Fayette III and indicate what our obligations are. Our more immediate concern than funding levels are progress payments to keep up with our payment agreement on the South Texas Nuclear Project. Mr. Scheps has some ideas to discuss with you. Phil Scheps, Director of Finance, stated, "Let me review briefly where we stand concerning the South Texas Project. We sold $30,000,000 of Certificates of Obligation in June against the authorization that was voted in January. The $97,000,000, that authorization has been taken through three levels of court and upheld at all three levels. We have budgeted the C.O. money...the $30,000,000 that was sold in June was expended in September. We budgeted 11.5 million in current revenues. With those funds the last payment we can make is November 19. There is a new law in Texas which was effective September 1 that allows cities to sell a new type of debt instrument, a multi-year short term note, that can be repaid with bond proceeds. These are typically backed by letters of credit. If you have a triple AAA bank they become triple AAA obligations. The letter of credit insures the pay payment of the note in the event the City is prevented from selling its bonds at the end of the two year period. Current rate on the short term notes is about 6 3/4 versus something close to 10% on long term bonds. Although the issuance expense is associated with the letter of credit, etc., it makes the effective rate more like 7 3/4%. The options at this time, and we only have a couple of weeks before the budgeted revenues run out, or to do nothing, hope there is no further litigation and that we can get the long term bonds sold...we could appropriate more current revenue as soon as possible but I think our ending balance is down to a postion now where we would have to think about a rate increase in association with it. We are already below what I consider a prudent level on an ending balance. I guess an option is to stop paying and hope our partners pick up the payments for us but I would not advise that. Finally we have an option which is Council Memo ELECTRIC - (Continued) 14 : November 3, 1983 facilitated by this new State law which is to sell short term notes in the amount of $67,000,000 which is what is remaining of the $97,000,000 authorized by the voters. My recommendation at this time and our financial advisor concurs on that recommendation, is that we do proceed with Option 4 to sell these notes. I have placed an ordinance in front of you which will allow me to accomplish this transaction. The notes are negotiated with a major investment banking firm and sold nationally. Within two years we will need to refund them with long term borrowing or roll them into another note program. We would like to point out that the notes make sense all by themselves because of the lower rate and shorter term. There is economic justifcation for doing that in any event. Most major power issuers in this country are using the short term borrowing program for times such as these and I expect within a very short time the major power suppliers in Texas, now that we have this new law, will begin note programs of their own. If you agree with this recommendation then I need a motion, an affirmative vote on the ordinance that has been placed in front of you." Councilmember Rose said they all fully understand their responsibility and should exercise the will of the voters in the election. Motion The Council, on Councilmember Rose's motion, Mayor Mullen's second, waived the requirement for three readings and finally passed an ordinance authorizing the issuance of $67,000,000.00 City of Austin, Texas combined Utility System Revenue Notes Series 1983. (7-0 Vote) Ed Aghjayan discussed Fayette III as follows: "With respect to funding needs, we signed a participation agreement in November of 1982. We have been billed to date $2.775 million dollars, which we have not paid. We have authorization approved by Council up to $3.5 million dollars. This money comes from the ending balance reserve. We have about $700,000.00 in remaining funds. However we have not received a bill since July and it has accrued from July through October. The bills we will get is only $2.3-million dollars and over the next few months those amounts will be about $300,000 per month until we reach April where construction starts and the funds will rise to $1.5 million. It is time for us to make a decision on where we want to head with Fayette INN. LCRA has indicated a destre to sit down with us and negotiate if we are not going to proceed on the project. Staff would like some direction from Council if thats what you want us to do." Motion The Council, on Councilmember Duncan's motion, Mayor Mullen's second, directed the Electric Department staff to negotiate out of our contract on Fayette III. (7-0 Vote) Mayor Mullen said, "I will second the motion, I don't like it. I'm afraid it is one of those short term conditions to a long term problem. Not too many years in the future we will be sorry that this happened." Councilmember Spaeth agreed and said, "Some day I believe it will be possible they will throw a light switch on in this City and some people may not have power. The Fayette plant will be out there, the danger is there, all the exposure, all the risk...we will have no control and will C ! Council Memo ELECTRIC - (Continued) 15 November 3, 1983 probably pay retail where we would have been able to have gotten it at cost but I will reluctantly support it." Mr. Aghjayan said "We have a huge hole in our generation plan. Staff is proceeding to develop an amendment to the plan that reflects the 600 megawatt base load of power that we will have to have, that we wanted to have in lignite. We will have to come up with some alternatives. We are looking at western coal and other options and expect by the end of this calendar year to come in with some recommendations." I Mayor Mullen stated: "I'd like to make sure the people of this City understand something. I don't want it to be any surprise if it happens. There is a good chance the City of Austin will be put on credit watch. The City of Austin's bonds may go down. We have already been notified by the bond house that they are very concerned and want to discuss it because they do not know whether the City of Austin can take care of itself or not.its bonding requirements to keep up electrical generation needs. This is something that is really coming home to us and we are going to have to come up with a solution to it. We cannot continue to turn down bonds and keep up our ratings and so we are going to have to end up being the city that buys electrical generation power from another source. We are going to be sitting here in another few years paying Houston or LCRA for energy. I guarantee you they are going to sell us the most expensive energy they have just like we sell it to them now. don't know what it is going to take for us as a City to get that message across to the public when we have 15% of the public turn out for a vote, 8% of the public makes a decision which is of major consequence to this City. We're not doing a good job of some kind, If any of you folks in the City have a solution that we have not heard, we certainly would like to hear it because we're not doing a good job of getting the message out and I don't know how to improve that. The Council has responsibility because we are the board of directors of this utility system. You are the people that hold the stock to this corporation and if you can't get it funded to keep up with the growth then you end up buying it from a source at full price and more and those politicians sitting out there now won't be around to worry about it. It's going to be your children who will suffer or 8 to 10 years from now you are going to suffer. I want the citizens of Austin to know how sertous this is. There is a very, very strong possibility of our bond ratings dropping and Austin being put on a credit watch. If we cannot come up with some way to resolve this problem of bonding we are all going to suffer and our rates will go up. That is an absolute reality and promise of the way we are going."

We were able to get a wastewater and water agreement with the department on a build-out schedule and it has been signed by the Manager and all the departments." This will allow them to proceed, he said. Councilmember Shipman pointed out that Lot 5 is in the flood plain. Mr. Guerrero stated they are dedicating it to the City as parkland, Councilmember Shipman said it should be zoned for parkland.

(7-0 Vote) Council Memo 23 November 3, 1983 ZONING HEARINGS CONTINUED Mayor Mullen announced Council would continue zoning hearings begun earlier in the day. Council heard, closed the public hearings and directed the Acting City Attorney to draw up the necessary ordinances on the following cases: C14 r-83 NATER INVESTMENTS 190 By Kinney Kaler To 1100-1125 Lost Creek From Interim "AA" 1st H&A Boulevard Tr. 1 "0-1" 1st H&A 1100-1122 Loop 360 Tr. 2 ""LR" 1st H&A RECOMMENDED "0-1" 1st, "LR" 1st H&A for placement of berm sign, low level lighting, dense foliage to be provided as a buffer, applicant is to work with County and City on road- way improvements to Lost Creek & Loop 360, encourage applicant to provide right-turn lane. GRANTED AS RECOMMENDED WITH CONCESSIONS AGREED TO BY THE APPLICANT ** 1 : : i Mr. Lillie reviewed by means of slides. Mr. Gerard Kinney, of Kinney Kaler, told Council they have worked for some time with the Lost Creek Neighborhood Association în doing this project and they have some very specific requests. "We want to make sure they get into the record correctly." Sid Sanders, of Kinney Kaler, stated for the record: ** "We had a series of three meetings with the neighborhood association, we presented the project, got their concerns and went back, looked at ways we could address them, came back, gave these suggestions to them and even went so far as to deal with their concern of height. We took out and put up a structural pole with red balloons on the end of it at each building so they could all see the relative height of each building on the site. The end result of the whole process was a set of conditions that the owners have agreed to. The first one is that some of the adjacent property owners that their yards back up to the property the letter of the law would require a privacy fence, some of them would rather have a dense foliage buffer. We are amenable to that and have suggested they write the City requesting that so we do not get caught ght in the middle of the City requesting us to uphold the letter of the law and that particular neighborhood actually not wanting that. We'ye agreed to having an exit only access onto Lost Creek Boulevard, We have also agreed to work with the County and look at the feasibility of adding a right turn lane from our exit point to Loop 360. That happens to be a county road so we will have to work with the county and meet their criteria on that. One concern that they had was the ambient atmosphere at the lighting across the site because lots of views come across this site to the downtown area. We recommended that they go and look at other projects we've done around town. They did that and came back and said they want light standards that do not go two stories in the air and that all lights be directed straight 1 : i Council Memo ZONING HEARINGS - (Continued) 24 November 3, 1983 at the ground, no point source of light being visible, and we agreed to that. Mr. Ailer, who owns a piece of property to the southwest corner of our property, his property is actually out in the county, called us and asked us to talk with him and we met with him. His concern is that our parking he would not like to look at. He has a fairly secluded six acre site and would not like to look across it and see our parking. The agreement we reached would be to put up a stone fence at least as high as any cars between his property and between any of our parking. One thing I would like to point out her is that the Planning Commission minutes had a typographical error in them. It said, instead of neighbor, neighborhood. Terribly ambiguous. The agreement was with a single individual known as the Kennith Ailer tract property out in the county. The last agreement is a sidewalk on Lost Creek Boulevard to Loop 360. Again, the only hesitation here is that the street and right-of-way is county and we have had some indication the county may not want that. We will be glad to provide it if we can work it out with the jurisdictional bodies. They actually have to approve that. Now I will step away and let the neighborhood association catch me if I have left anything out." Pam Gray, president, Lost Creek Neighborhood Association, told Council, "I don't think he left anything out. We do come in support of this project providing that all the conditions are met through zoning. We would also like to say thank you very much to the applicant for his cooperation."

Faust 2300-2524 Walsh Tarleton To From Interim "AA" 1st H&A Tr. 1 "GR" 2nd H&A Tr. 2 "0" 2nd H&A NOT RECOMMENDED RECOMMENDED "0-1" 2nd H&A for area east of private drive contiguous to Walsh- Tarleton; "GR" 2nd H&A for area to the rear, maximum height of 45' from grade of Walsh-Tarleton, approval of drainage by Public Works Department; site plan approval, staff is to review TIA prior to City Council hearing and prior to review of site plan by Planning Commission. GRANT AS RECOMMENDED Mr. Lillie reviewed by means of slides. Tom Sidner appeared before Council said he is not opposed to the project, Council Memo ZONING - (Continued) 25 November 3, 1983 per se but is opposed to the precedent "you may be setting here for 2nd Height and Area in my neighborhood. No change has taken place in our neighborhood which would support increased height. Last Tuesday night the City Planning Commission used this project and used their acception that this project would be approved as an excuse to approve a similar zoning to 2nd height that is located in the same area as this but across the other side of Barton Creek Mall from this project. So clearly, a precedent is being set here. Let.me quote from the Planning Commission minutes of October 4, 1983 when this project was discussed. Gilbert Martinez did not feel that Walsh-Tarleton can accommodate traffic from this project and Barton Creek Mall and his fears were eventually relieved because he did vote in favor of this project. The project that I am most concerned about will also be adding traffic to Walsh-Tarleton. Let me say a couple of things in favor of this project or distinguish it from the one I really will be opposed to. This project does not back up to a residential neighborhood and while this technically may be a 2nd height zone let me abuse the numbers on zoning a little bit and say that because this is only going to be 45 feet above the street level of Walsh-Tarleton, this is sort of a 1.3 height, which is not a correct term, but in summary, all I am saying is that I ask that you all remember me and when I come back to oppose the Walter Vackar project that they use this project in their assumption that you are going to approve 2nd height on this project as a reason for giving 2nd height on that project and I just ask if you can do that." (On Councilmember Shipman's motion, Mayor Mullen's second, 7-0 Vote) : Zoning Hearings to be Continued Council heard the following zoning hearings and voted for their continuance: C14 r-83 CAPITOL DEVELOP-4500-4630 Bull Creek 177 MENT 5700 Mt.
