HomeMy WebLinkAbout7/7/2020 Item 08, Brown
Clerk, Intern
From:Russell Brown <
To:E-mail Council Website
Subject:Consent Agenda #8
I am petitioning on behalf of myself and members of Save Our Downtown that consent agenda item #8 be
withdrawn. Mr. Cooper's letter identifies the reasons for this action to be removed.
If the record of the April 27th CHC meeting was retained, it should be reviewed to determine if Dr. Papp was, in fact,
angry and/or disagreeable, although how do you disagree with findings without being disagreeable? Also, the internal
process leading to the action identified in item #8 should be reviewed. It would appear that the Handbook process was
not followed.
Dr. Papp brings a unique mix of training and experience to the city in the areas of historic resources and restoration
along with the legal elements that pertain. He is a valuable resource the city should utilize rather than dismiss.
I believe the "do unto others" principle should apply here. If each of you council members were the subject of this
action, what would you want to have happen? What process would you want followed?
Please consider this action carefully and act accordingly.
Thank you,
Russell Brown
