Somogyi, Attorney, representing city employee Steven F. Hudson , whose employment was terminated effective January 21, 1975. Mr. Somogyi was requesting that the City Council hold a personnel session on the dismissal. The City Council set 12:10 p.m. February 14, 1975 as a time and place to hear the appeal of Steven F. Hudson. 3. Clinton Milne, Deputy County Engineer, again appeared before the City Council on behalf of the County proposal to proceed with another election on the Nacimiento Water Supply Project stating that the last proposal was defeated at the polls and the County was again offering the City of San Luis Obispo an opportunity to be included in the Nacimiento Water Supply Project as now proposed. Mr. Milne reviewed for the City Council the present status of the Nacimiento Water Supply Project and its possible continuation deleting the south bay communities of the county. He felt that the Board of Supervisors would try to go to the voters later on this year to see if the project would go with less partners. He then reviewed for the City Council recent meetings held with the Santa Barbara County water agencies to see where they stood on cooperation on the coastal aqueduct of the state water plan. He hoped that the City Council of San Luis Obispo would reconsider its position and join in the new Nacimiento project. City Council iMinutes February 3, 1975 Page 2 Clint Milne reviewed for the Council some of the interest now being shown by agricultural interests in and around the City of San Luis Obispo for high value crops that needed large volumes of water. He also felt that some of the Edna Valley agricultural interests were looking to the City of San Luis Obispo's sewer plant effluent for irrigation purposes. Mr. Milne continued that the Board of Supervisors were planning on forming water zone 12 which would include all of former Nacimiento partners except the south bay, and they were again inviting the City of San Luis Obispo to either become a full or a limited partner in the Nacimiento project. The City Council discussed the proposal for formation of water zone 12, the Nacimiento project. The Council discussed timing, cost and comparative costs of the state water project versus the Nacimiento water project. Mr. Milne stated that until the County of San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara decide on the go -ahead on the state water plan, the County could lease or rent their water allocation on a short -term basis to urban or rural interests in the easterly portion of the San Joaquin Valley. Upon question, Clint Milne stated that if the City of San Luis Obispo went into the zone 12 project, they would be expected to pay maintenance and operation of the basic system, but no cost to the City of San Luis Obispo for facilities to serve other communities. He estimated that San Luis Obispo could contract for 3,000 acre feet of water at a cost of approximately $6,000,000 or approximately $194 per acre foot. Bonds would be sold on a 30 -vear basis. The City Council also discussed comparative benefits of Nacimiento water versus state water. Councilman Gurnee stated he would like to know more information on the two projects including cost and the length of time for the projects to become viable. Councilman Norris stated he again felt the City Council made a big mistake in not going along with the original Nacimiento project. He felt that the City should move along with the county and other communities in the county and ' take advantage of a second chance to go with the project on water that the City is already paying for. He also felt that the City and County should go along with the state project when needed. He was in support of the City joining in zone 12, the Nacimiento project. Councilman Brown stated he would like to see some current costs on zone 12 proposals on the new partnership basis, including comparative costs of zone 12 versus state water project in these comparisions. Councilman Graham also agreed that he would like to see some updated costs on the project. He also felt that the state water project was the best for the City of San Luis Obispo. He felt the City could always annex to zone 12 if they were willing to pay the cost. Mavor Schwartz stated that his feelings had always been with the City policy to go with the state water plan. This had been shown.in the presently adopted County water plan. He felt the City must be very careful not to do anything that would jeopardize the 25,000 acre feet of state water allocated to this county. He felt the City could always annex to zone 12 or buy surplus Nacimiento water on a year - to -year basis when not needed by the other partners. The matter of the request of the County relative to the County water plan was continued for further information from the County Engineer's Office. 4A. Memorandum from the Administrative Officer asking Council consideration on whether or not they wished to adopt a new policy of maintaining confidentiality of the engineer or architect cost estimates on all up blic works projects prior to bid openings. The Administrative Officer stated that this change in policy had been requested by Ethan Jennings, Architect for the City Hall remodeling project. Citv Council Minutes February 3, 1975 Page 3 Ethan Jennings, Jr. appeared before the City Council stating it was his feeling that it would be better if the estimates on the cost of remodeling City Hall were kept confidential as it might give the City better bids and perspective bidders would not be looking at the City's estimate in trying to come up with those figures. A.J. Shaw, City Attorney, presented an excerpt from the Government Code, which would permit the City Council to adopt a policy of confidentiality on engineer and architect costs on public works prior to opening of bids as requested. ' Ethan Jennings again spoke on behalf of his request as he felt it was better for the City and any other client not to disclose the estimated costs particularly a project such as the City Hall remodeling due to complex bidding required. He felt by keeping estimates confidential, no contractors could take advantage of others by knowing the engineer's estimate. He recommended that the estimate on his project be kept confidential. Councilman Brown stated that the Telephone Company always kept the engineer's estimates from public knowledge. He felt estimates must be kept confidential from public knowledge in order to attempt to get fair bidding. Councilman Gurnee questioned why this item was being brought up at this time on this particular project. Why was it not thought about as a Council policy for all projects? Councilman Graham disagreed with the request of the Administrative Officer and architect, as he felt he would like to have an estimate before authorizing a call for bids rather than force a contractor to go through all the steps if the Council was not even interested in the project due to the estimated cost. Arnold Volny, contractor, objected to the adoption of this new policy as recom- mended by staff and architect. He felt that public works should be known to the public. lie explained problems faced by contractors in getting bonds for projects when they worked in the dark without some type of guideline. He con- ' cluded that except for the Telephone Company's policy, all agencies let the estimates be known to people who would be bidding on the project. Councilman Gurnee felt there might be a time when the City would want to adopt a secrecy policy on cost estimates for projects. He felt that this was not the time and he felt this was the wrong project because of public interest in this controversial project. He felt the people of the community should know what the Council was thinking about and talking about before they expend these funds. Councilman Norris stated he objected to the position of this item on the agenda. He felt that the early part of the meeting should be kept for public and not for some staff problem. He also stated that he opposed to the adoption of the new policy requested by the architect and staff. He felt that the City Council should be open with full public disclosure to the public, and he hoped the Council would not adopt such a policy to keep information from the people. He felt all projects financed by the City were done with public funds and the estimates should be known to the public. He felt the City Council should continue with existing policy and particularly not to start such a controversial policy with this project. Councilman Brown felt that the cost estimates should be kept confidential, maybe not this particular project but in the future. Councilman Graham stated he would support full disclosure of all construction estimates. After all he felt this was public money and the public should know what the Council was planning to spend before they spent it. lie felt this knowledge should be known at the pre -bid stage. Mayor Schwartz felt the City should adopt a policy that would keep cost estimates confidential as it might save the taxpayers some money. He suggested that the Council exempt the City Hall remodeling project from this new policy. He felt the staff should look into how other cities handle the secrecy of engineering and architect estimates on projects and determine the effectiveness on projects. City Council - Minutes February 3, 1975 Page 4 The common consensus of the City Council was that this new policy as suggested would not be adopted, and as soon as the architect's estimate was prepared it would be given to the City Council for public information. 4B. At this time Ethan Jennings, Architect, presented for the Council's consideration plans and specifications for the CITY HALL REMODELING, continued from the January 6, 1975 meeting. Ethan Jennings presented the following estimate: BASE BID $ 402,285.00 Alternate Bid No. 1 - Upper Area (deduct) 45,974.00 Alternate Bid No. 2 - Council Chambers (deduct) 56,714.00 Alternate Bid No. 3 - Upper Level $ Council Chambers (deduct) 103,858.00 Alternate Bid No. 4 - Lower Level Movable Walls (add) 6,000.00 Alternate Bid No. 5 - Upper Level Movable halls (add) 2,000.00 Alternate Bid No. 6 - Cabinets (deduct) 1,980.00 Alternate Bid No. 7 - Steamlines (deduct) 20,700.00 In addition to the above bid cost, additional funds should be set aside for Council Room furnishings not included in the construction contract. They include: 1 - overhead projector 7 - council chairs 12 - staff chairs TOTAL ESTIh14TED COST - $5,000.00 1 David Williamson, Assistant Administrative Officer, stated that the subcommittee ' of the City Council working on the City Hall remodeling recommended that the City improve the four inch water main on Osos Street between Palm and ?till to an eight inch main at an estimated cost of $8,200.00. He felt this was a requirement of the fire code as part of the remodeling of City Hall. The City Council discussed in detail with the Architect, Ethan Jennings, ways and means of possibly reducing the cost in the remodeling project, particularly the fancy treatment in the basement. The Architect stated that he prepared the plans and specifications on the basis of a complete project, which would include the basement, first floor and Council Chambers with seven alternate proposals which would be deducted from the base bid. He felt in this way when the bids were received, the Council would decide on what items they wished on an item -by -item basis in order to see what they would like to buy. He concluded by saying that the input as to the fancy treat- ment in the basement was arrived at by staff representation to him by the assigned personnel. Councilman Brown stated he did not feel that the basement plan was too fancy. He felt it was a minimum improvement to get the job done. He felt the architect's plan was well done and the plan was not gold plated but just minimal. He felt the City should proceed with the call for bids on the basement construction. He felt first floor and Council Chambers remodeling could be done at a later date and urged the Council to proceed on this basis only. Councilman Norris also felt the Council should proceed with the call for bids on the basement portion only. He would also support a call for bids on the first floor less the remodeling of the Council Chambers. Mayor Schwartz felt that the plans only provide utilitarian areas for working staff and public. He reviewed the history of the City Hall construction and remodeling project to date. He urged the Council to call for bids including all alternates and that the Council upon receipt of the bids accept or reject each alternate as they saw fit. He also reviewed the time spent by the Council subcommittee and staff working with the Architect in arriving at the subcommittee's recommendation to the Council at that time. 1 City Council Minutes February 3, 1975 Page 5 On motion of Councilman Gurnee, seconded by Councilman Brown that the City Council approve the plans and specifications for the CITY HALL REiIODELING and that bids be called for with a base bid and all alternates, basement, first floor and City Council Chambers. Councilman Norris stated he was opposed to a call for bids that would allow the bids for improving the Council Chambers to be included, and he would therefore vote against the motion. Motion carried on the following roll call vote: AYES: Councilmen Gurnee, Brown, Graham and Mayor Schwartz NOES: Councilman Norris Fir1 a►r1301►rna 9:50 p.m. Mayor Schwartz called a recess. 10:05 p.m. The meeting reconvened with all council members present. 5. The City Council continued their discussion of their proposal by Councilman T. Keith.Gurnee regarding the appointment of a Housing and Community Development Task Force, whose purpose would be to study housing and community development issues and problems, and prepare grant applications required by the legislation to procure funding for priority projects. The Council also reviewed the outline prepared by Councilman Gurnee involving the type of task force, persons to be involved, and the type of information hopefully to come from this task force. Councilman Gurnee felt that it was essential that citizens' participation be solicited in arriving at the housing and community development matters. He felt that a.one- assignment task force would do the job. Kevin O'Connor, ASI representative from Cal Poly, submitted a resolution adopted by the Student Affairs Council of the University which had endorsed the concept of a task force on housing and community development and urged that a student representative be appointed to such a body. He stated that students compose a large part of the population of the City of San Luis Obispo and as such had a vital interest in the way the City would deal with the current housing problem. He hoped that the Council would appoint a representative from the ASI to the membership on this task force. The City Council discussed the proposal of appointing a housing task force to study the overall housing problems in the City with recommendations to the City Council for what could be done by the local government to augment the housing within the community. Robert Strong, Community Development Director, suggested that after preliminary studies had been made, the Planning Commission appoint a task force to study the overall housing which would also assist the Planning Commission in gathering information for the presently on -going General Plan Housing Element studies. The matter was continued to February 10, 1975. 6. Communication from Peter R. Andre, Attorney on behalf of the San Luis Garbage Company, attempting to explain the rationale used by the Garbage Company in the two methods of assessing garbage rates to apartments and mobile homes ' within the City. There were apparently two methods used. One method was the individual can for each apartment or mobile home method, which was based on a per unit cost. And, the other method was apartments and mobile homes using a dumpster, which was based on a reduced monthly cost plus a monthly charge for the dumpster. Mr. Andre stated he felt it was the company's feeling that this arrangement was fair to all and that if any rates were to be changed, the City Council should look into the commercial rate structure, which they felt was too low and completely out of line. Citv Council Minutes February 3, 1975 Page 6 On motion of Councilman Graham, seconded by Councilman Brown the matter was ordered received and filed. Motion carried on the following roll call vote: AYES: Councilmen Graham, Brown and Gurnee NOES: Councilman Norris and Mayor Schwartz ABSENT: None 7. The following report was submitted to the City Council on behalf of the City Park $ Recreation Commission on the referral from the City Council of a mini -bike or other off - street bike track for the City. It was the finding of the Commission and so recommended to the City Council on motion of Woody Frey, seconded by Bea Kardel, and passed unanimously "that no land within the City limits, subject to the recommendations of the Commission, was suitable for mini -bike or off - street bike track considering the dust, noise and ecological factors that arise from this activity." The commission further recommended that the City Council request from other public agencies within the county information on where, when and how off - street bikes would legally be ridden in the area. Elmore Reynolds, San Luis Cyclery, felt that the solution to the problem was for someone, some governmental agency, to provide a motorcycle park within the City or the County so that the riders could go there and enjoy themselves. He and his fellow cycle dealers agreed that noise could be controlled if the cyclists did not change the approved muffling system on their bikes. Gerald McRoberts agreed with noise control, but lie felt the proposed ordinance was wrong and stated he felt some public agency should supply a motorcycle park. He felt the City and County should provide a recreational area for these people just as they do for other groups such as senior citizens, golfers, campers, etc. Donald Cross stated that there was a group of citizens in the community and county who were interested in procuring an area for an off -road vehicle park. Councilman Gurnee spoke in support of the City cooperating with cyclists in procuring an area for motorcycle riding, etc. On motion of Councilman Gurnee, seconded by Councilman Graham that the City consider a proposed ordinance at their regular meeting of February 18, 1975 and direct the Park $ Recreation staff to wort: with the county staff to see if an area within the county could be located for a motorcycle park to be developed cooperatively with the City, County and the motorcyclists, and also that a letter be sent to the Board of Supervisors regarding this motion. Motion carried. 8. Robert Strong, Community Development Director, presented a lengthy report to the City Council dealing with Los Osos Valley population estimates before and after the water improvements presently being developed for that area. He submitted a tabulation to the City Council involving the number of dwelling units within the so- called "moratorium area ". He concluded that the areas present developments probably contain a population between 6,740 and 7,400. Although it is estimated that approximately 7,000 people are living in the area at this. This interim population limit could quickly be exceeded by the number of available mobile home park sites and new residential develop- ments. He suggested that special controls may be needed if the crosstown feeder was not completed and the population exceeds estimates. A census would be taken during 1975 to more accurately determine present population, at which time the Community Development Department would submit further report. 9. Memorandum from Jack Kellerman, Chief Building Inspector, stating that an inspection of Tract 467, Unit II, showed that a great pile of rocks had been stockpiled adjacent to Tract 467. As of Plonday, January 27, there had been no attempt by the contractor or developer to remove these rocks as requested by the City Engineer in November, 1974. Therefore, he wished to bring this matter to the City Council's attention prior to assuming responsibility under the new reorganizational plans for this project. City Council Minutes February 3, 1975 Page 7 D.F. Romero, Director of Public Services, presented a copy of his letter to the developer of Tract 467 stating that the pile of rocks outside the limits of the boundaries of Tract 467 were stockpiled without City approval and under the provisions of the grading ordinance, the stockpiling of this material was in violation and no person should do any grading without first obtaining a grading permit from the building official. Therefore, D.F. Romero stated that he requested the developer, Warren Dolezal, to remove these rocks from the property within 60 days of receipt of the letter. (Letter dated November 27, 1974.) ' Warren F: Dolezal, developer of Tract 467, Units .I and II, appeared before the City Council stating that during the grading work for the Unit II of Tract 467, they encountered several small, medium and large rocks in the ground. Since they would not grade the site properly per the approved plans, and since they were nice natural rocks that could be used in the landscaping, entry pond and waterfall, he stated he set them temporarily aside on vacant property immediately next to their site, the thought being that when the landscaping work was done these rocks would be brought back into the tract. He felt that since the rocks were not bothering anyone, were neatly stacked in a small area, and would be used to beautify and enhance the overall project with natural material, they respectfully requested that the City Council grant permission to let them stay there until after the irrigation system was installed and the landscaping portion of the project was underway. He felt this would be in about nine to ten months from this point. A.J. Shaw, City Attorney, submitted to the City Council a list of documents dealing with the stockpiling request on property outside the approved Tract 467, Unit II. He submitted copies of City Council minutes, memos from the building department, memos from the City Engineer, all to the developer relative to these violations. Councilman Norris felt the City should grant a permit for stockpiling as the rocks were to be used in the completed tract and would not be hauled away. Councilman Graham felt the City Council should not issue a permit to stockpile ' the rocks on the site which would be used in the landscaping plan at a later date. Councilman Brown stated he would not object to issuing a grading permit for stockpiling rocks for nine months. Mayor Schwartz stated he was disappointed with delays by Mr. Dolezal in waiting over two months to respond to the City's request to apply for a stockpiling permit for these rocks. He felt that Mr. Dolezal should have come forward upon receipt of the City Engineer's letter demanding removal of said rocks. On motion of Councilman Norris, seconded by Councilman Brown that the City issue a temporary stockpiling permit to Tract 467 for nine months or until November 1, 1975. Motion carried on the following roll call vote: AYES: Councilmen Norris and Brown and Mayor Schwartz NOES: Councilmen Graham and Gurnee ABSENT: None 10. At this time the City Council considered the new joint powers agreement suggested by the Criminal Justice Planning Agency which would have a new preamble worded in a broader manner to assure more eligibility for a variety of new federal funding programs. The basic agreement was not changed, it was just the preamble. On motion of Councilman Graham, seconded by Councilman Brown the following resolution was introduced: Resolution No. 2726 (1975 Series), a resolution of the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo .approving an amendment to the crime control joint powers agreement and authorizing the Mayor to execute said agreement as amended. Passed and adopted on the following roll call vote: AYES: Councilmen Graham, Brown, Gurnee, Norris and Mayor Schwartz City Council Minutes February 3, 1975 Page 8 NOES: None ABSENT: None 11. D.F. Romero, Director of Public Services, submitted a copy of the draft report on pre- treatment and source control of wastewater prepared by John Jenks, consulting engineer, in compliance Faith the Water Quality Control Board require- ments. D.F. Romero stated that Jenks' report was divided into four sections which discussed: 1) existing ordinances and where they would have to be modified to comply with new state and federal requirements, '-) suggested modifications to bring ordinances into compliance, 3) implementation of a source control program, and 4) procedures for monitoring and control. He continued that Mr. Jenks had included a model wastewater discharge ordinance prepared by the Uniform Ordinance Subcommittee of the California Water Pollution Control Association, but was not presented for discussion this evening due to its length. D.F. Romero then submitted in outline form the schedule for implementation for source control program. January 1, 1975 - submit draft of suggested code modifications to Regional Board staff for review and comment. January 15, 1975 - receive comments from Regional Board staff and formally submit source control program. February 15, 1975- complete revisions to code in draft form and dis- tribute to industry and other interested parties for review and comment. March 1, 1975 - meet with industry representatives to discuss.reasons for code changes and receive comments. April 1, 1975 - finalize code revisions and notice as legally required prior to adoption. June 1, 1975 - establish monitoring programs for the major industrial users. July 1, 1975 - implement the pre- treatment and source control program. July 15, 1975 - report compliance to Regional Board. D.F. Romero also wished to call attention to the City Council that the consulting engineer pointed out that the City would probably be unable to meet the EPA requirements for mineral quality due to the City's excessive use of water softeners. He concluded his report by stating that a draft of Jenks' letter and report on pre- treatment and source control of wastewater was submitted to the Water Quality Control Board prior to the January 1, 1975 deadline, with the request that their 1 staff review and submit comments which the City might incorporate in its code revisions. Kenneth R. Jones, Executive Officer, California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Central Coast Region, stated that the State agency had reviewed the draft report on pre- treatment and source control for wastewater as prepared by the City's consultant. He stated they felt a thorough job had been done of describing present controls and outlining modifications necessary to meet new federal guidelines. The Board suggested one additional feature, which would make the report more useful, particularly the inclusion of a list of present sources of industrial wastes along with data on the flow volumes and physical and chemical characteristics of each. On motion of Councilman Brown, seconded by Councilman Graham that the City Council accept the report of John Jenks and the recommendation of staff and direct the City Attorney and City Engineer to update the City's sewer ordinance to comply with the new regulations. Motion carried, all ayes. 12. Robert Strong, Community Development Director, informed the City Council that the Planning Commission had approved the Hilton Hotel's use permit subject to the condition that a partial closure of Palm Street in front of the proposed development be made.The recommendation was that the street be closed rather than abandoned as some time in the future downtown circulation might require an alternate route parallel to Monterey Street. The suggested street closure would require the Hilton Inn to install new curb, gutter and sidewalk at a setback location along Monterey Street, a large radius turn at the corner of Monterey and Grand Avenue connecting with the existing frontage improvements on Grand Avenue. The street triangle would be landscaped and maintained by the Hilton Inn pursuant to terms of an encroachment permit. The City would modify the Grand Avenue median as indicated on the sketch plan, and remove the landscaped island at the corner to improve traffic channelization at the intersection. It was the feeling of the Planning Commission that the change would eliminate present hazardous movements which now occur at the closely spaced double intersection. City Council Minutes February_ 3, 1975 Page 9 If the Council concurred with the Planning Commission and staff recommended street closure, a resolution of intention should be passed setting a public hearing to consider the proposal. A.J. Shaw, City Attorney, advised the City Council that the step being recom- mended by the Planning Commission was fraught with legal danger. He felt that a street closure conditioned by the Planning Commission was one over which the applicant or developer had no control and therefore, was totally inappropriate ' as a condition. He stated that the Streets and Highways Code provided that the closing of streets to public use might be accomplished legislatively under the usual vacation procedures. He recommended such a procedure for more than temporary closure. Further, the use of City property for landscaping purposes as a condition for the use of private property appeared to raise serious legal questions concerning the use of public property for private purposes. He felt it was equivalent to a lease of City property, and if so, an ordinance would be required. Therefore, the City Attorney felt that the use permit for the Hilton Inn should not be considered to be in effect until the Planning Commission had been given an opportunity to review the closure condition of the permit. If the Commission believed that the use of that area was necessary for the Inn and that the street should be partially closed, the Commission should recommend closure to the City Council. Following a final decision by the Council on this closure, the Commission could then consider appropriate terms for the use permit. On motion of Councilman Graham, seconded by Councilman Brown the following resolution was introduced: Resolution No. 2723 (1975 Series), a resolution of intention to close a portion of Palm Street. Passed and adopted on the following roll call vote: AYES: Councilmen Brown, Graham, Gurnee, Norris and Mayor Schwartz NOES: None ABSENT: None On motion of Councilman Gurnee, seconded C -2, C -3, C -4, C -5, C -6, C -8, C -9, C -10, C -17, C -18, C -19, C -20, C -21, C -22, C -23 C -1 The claims against the City of subject to approval by the Administrativ by Councilman Brown consent items C -1, C -11, C -12, C -13, C -14, C -15, C -16, and C -24 were approved as recommended.

C -7 Memo from Wavne Peterson submitting a progress report on the Edna Saddle Water Tank stating that ninety percent of the earthwork was now in place and most of the foundation, drainage system, ringwall and base was now completed. Even though the contractor had been given 14 days extension due to weather conditions he was now 61 days behind schedule. It was Mr. Peterson's opinion that the delay in completion of Phase I was primarily due to the methods, equipment and schedule the contractor, Madonna Construction Company, had chosen to work with. He continued that Pacific Erectors Corporation was prepared to start construction as soon as Madonna Construction Company had completed Phase I. The most recent schedule for'this was March 1. Pacific Erectors had given the City a tentative schedule which indicated the tank could be filled for the first time about June 1. On motion of Councilman Graham, seconded by Councilman Gurnee that the City Clerk write to Madonna Construction Company stating that the City Council was very disappointed in the delays in this most important project, and urging in a nice but tough way that the project be consummated so that the tank erection could commence. Motion carried, all ayes. C -8 Memo from D.E. Englert, Police Captain, regarding abandoned vehicle program was approved. C -9 Memorandum from A.J. Shaw, City Attorney, regarding assignment of facility space and personnel to implement the plan of reorganization. On motion of Councilman Gurnee, seconded by Councilman Brown the following resolution was introduced: Resolution No. 2753 (1975 Series), a resolution of the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo providing the City Administrative Officer with full authority and responsibility for assigning facility space and personnel as appropriate to implement the plan of reorganization. 1 1 1 City Council Minutes February 3, 1975 Page 11 Passed and adopted on the following roll call vote: AYES: Councilmen Gurnee, Brown, Graham, Norris and Mayor Schwartz NOES: None ABSENT: None 1 C -10 A.
