Water Department Budget, and the five-year Capital Improvement Program, based upon the 10-year plan previously done and stated previously suggested Council changes were made. Councilmember Collings made some general comments regarding the Water Department Budget: 1 ) the Tequesta water situation is critical ; there were many concerns about the capital connection charge. Long-term landowners objected. Councilmember Collings explained a capital connection charge was needed and should be increased to support subsequent capital improvements; 2 ) others felt the area of service was too wide and should be reduced. Mr. Collings explained that was not possible since the Water Department is a utility and has a legal obligation to serve existing areas. Councilmember Mackail moved to approve the Minutes. Councilmember Burckart seconded the motion. The vote was : William E. Burckart - for Ron T. Mackail - for Earl L. Collings - for the motion therefore passed and was adopted. Village Council Meeting Minutes July 13 , 1989 Page 4 (B) Finance and Administration Committee Meeting - June 23, 1989 : Village Manager Bradford advised that this meeting dealt with the General Fund and the Capital Improvement Program of the Village.

Councilmember Mackail moved to approve the Minutes. Councilmember Burckart seconded the motion. The vote was : William E. Burckart - for Ron T. Mackail - for Earl L. Collings - for the motion therefore passed and was adopted. C) Public Safety Committee Meeting - June 30, 1989 . Approval of Center for Public Safety Options as Public Safety Consultant with Phase I Study Authorization Not to Exceed $11 , 500. Councilmember Burckart introduced Leonard Materese, of Center for Public Safety Options , the firm chosen as Consultant. Mr. Burckart gave an overview of the meeting stating Center for Public Safety Options gave a good, concise , step-by-step proposal and had many Village advantages. They presented computer model design capabilities with a Phase approach. At each point of the phases, the Village was allowed more flexibility. Mr. Materese : thanked the Village for retaining the Center for Public Safety Options and explained this proposal came about through citizen initiative. He stated the importance of receiving very clear signals from elected officials and appointed officials that jobs would not be lost in the Police Department as a result of the study, and further explained the result would not be a wholesale elimination of jobs. Estimated timeframe: Phase I - 3-4 months , making it late fall. At that time the firm would get back with the Village informing them of their options ; Phase II - 3-6 months . At that point , the firm will approache the Village with two designs : 1 ) cost savings ; and 2 ) service delivery. This stage requires much input from the Village . Mr. Materese pointed out that within a year Public Safety could be operative. Village Council Meeting Minutes July 13, 1989 Page 5 Councilmember Burckart suggested a letter of appreciation should be sent to the firms who were not chosen, thanking them for all their work. Councilmember Mackail moved to approve the Minutes and accept the Center for Public Safety Options as Consul+ant. Councilmember Burckart seconded the motion. The vote was: William E. Burckart - for Ron T. Mackail - for Earl L. Collings - for the motion therefore passed and was adopted. VI . COMMUNICATIONS FROM CITIZENS There were no citizens who had comments at this time. VII . DEVELOPMENT MATTERS (A) Proposed Tequesta Motorcars Auto Dealership, 746 U.S. Highway 1 , North: Robert Walsh. Report on Public Hearing for Special Exception - Scott Ladd and Jack Horniman: Scott Ladd: Mr. Ladd stated this project started out as an annexation of the property in question, then applicant petitioned for a zoning change and staff supported that. A zoning change text amendment was presented to Village Council to create a new special exception use auto dealership. That was done . Community Appearance Board approval was acquired. Today the Special Exception Public Hearing for the use and the Site Plan Review have come before Council for the auto dealership itself. Village Council Meeting Minutes July 13, 1989 Page 6 Jack Horniman: Pages 86-91 extracted from current Zoning Code. As a special exception use, auto dealership is a special exception use in the C-2 commercial zoning district, unlike permitted use, where use is permitted by right, special exception additional criteria has to be met, findings have to be made, and certain conditions and safeguards can be instituted, if deemed appropriate, for the approval of the plan. Bottom of page 86 and top of page 87 , Items (d) and (e) are the criteria that need to be met. The Village has adopted Ordinance 379 to establish the allowance of auto dealerships in the Village as special exception uses . Councilmember Collings asked of Jack Horniman if he could foresee any problems with properties surrounding the auto dealership. Mr. Horniman answered some concern had been expressed regarding the existing building already on the site which will be used as a service building, as to whether the bay doors would be closed during operation. Since the building sits well back behind the dealership on the property and there is no air conditioning serving that building, Mr. Collings stated he saw no problem with the bay doors remaining open during operation . Councilmember Mackail voiced a concern of the Community Appearance Board regarding trees camouflaging the dealership so the proposed adjacent hotel would not have a car dealership view. Mr. Walsh stated the back wall of the hotel , which has no windows, would be overlooking that area. Mr. Collings noted since no presentation has yet been made by the proposed hotel , there could be no certainty as to what portion overlooked the dealership, and also noted in terms of answering the code requirements, if indeed the hotel and the dealership were happy, the good neighbor policy has already been established. Councilmember Burckart referred to the 26 separate points of Ordinance 379 , asking whether there was any problem with the ones dealing with the Site Plan. Building Official Scott Ladd answered he could foresee no problems, and that Mr. Horniman and Mr. Gentile reviewed thoroughly these petitions , and felt very comfortable with them as they are. However, Mr. Ladd did suggest since this is the first auto dealership, and it includes 26 conditions , that a signed Agreement reflecting the applicant' s understanding of all the conditions should be recorded. Village Attorney Randolph agreed an approval document ought to be signed by the owner of the property and recorded, setting forth all the conditions imposed upon him. Councilmember Mackail questioned the status regarding existing/future underground utility lines . Mr. Ladd indicated Mr. Walsh is willing to comply with whatever is required; that easements have been indicated on the property. A five-foot Village Council Meeting Minutes July 13 , 1989 Page 7 easement requirement was not indicated. FPL has submitted drawings for both the auto dealership property and the property immediately south of that, since those parcels need to have underground easements indicated and supplied in order to feed Mr. Walsh' s auto dealership. The feed for the power to Mr. Walsh, in order to come from the rear of the property, will come from K-Mart. An easement will need to be established across the back of the proposed hotel site . Both the hotel and the auto dealership stated they had no problems with that. Mr. Ladd did point out, however, that it is germain that the hotel site provide their easements, for without that, Mr. Walsh cannot put power from the rear and therefore would have to set a sub-pole from U. S . #1 . Councilmember Mackail suggested communications regarding these easements and underground utilities be documented in writing to solidify goals and avoid any future misunderstanding. Mr. Ladd stated an executed easement is needed from the hotel property and Mr. Walsh's property in order to make them valid easements . Attorney Randolph pointed out these executed and recorded easements should be in-hand before issuance of a CO. Village Manager Bradford suggested a condition be made of all utilities underground . Councilmember Collings asked Mr. Bradford to be certain these executed/recorded easements were acquired. Village Manager Bradford pointed out the sign on the drawing of the proposed dealership seemed higher than the allowance of the sign regulations . Mr. Moseley Collins stated the drawing submitted for approval showed the sign lower than this drawing and it did indeed meet with the Village Sign Regulations . Mr. Bradford also inquired as to whether those were Queen Palms on the drawing to match the streetscape for U.S . #1 . Mr. Ladd responded affirmatively. Councilmember Collings asked which car would be sold at this dealership. Mr. Walsh answered two specialty car lines had been approved but a bread-and-butter line was in the process of being approved. Mr. Walsh was not at liberty to give a name at the present time . Art Knowald, resident of Broadview, across from the auto dealership had some concerns regarding the dealership' s public address system and the number of used cars to be displayed facing U.S. #1 . Mr. Walsh explained that the Ordinance restricted use of an outdoor p.a. system, and as far as car displays , six would be on one side in the front, and four on the other. Sir John van Kesteren questioned whether balloons and flags would be displayed. Council explained the Ordinance restricts use of balloons, flags , etc . , and assured Mr. van Kesteren the appearance would be aesthetically pleasing . • Village Council Meeting Minutes July 13, 1989 Page 8 Mr. Bradford confirmed the outside color scheme of the repair shop would, in fact, be in coordination with the surrounding color schemes . Site Plan Review Process : Robert Walsh, Applicant: Moseley Collins, Engineer, served as spokesperson for Mr. Walsh's project. Mr. Collins made a formal, detailed presentation of the site plan to the public. Councilmember Collings asked the distance between the repair building and the property west, and if there was a back wall . Mr. Moseley Collins explained that distance is about 300 feet, there are trees there, and there is a back wall there presently. The public asked if there were proper disposal tanks for oil , grease and paint. Mr. Walsh explained a body shop would not be allowed, and underground tanks are in place now and four monitoring wells will be used. The public also inquired as to afterhours lighting at the dealership. Mr. Walsh explained the Ordinance restricts opening before 7 :00 A.M. and no business operation after 8: 00 P.M. Attorney Randolph noted the Ordinance did not address afterhours lighting . Mr. Walsh explained there would be 3-4 security lights on but nothing that would be imposing. Councilmember Collings suggested Mr. Walsh present a letter describing exactly what his intent is regarding afterhours lighting. _ Councilmember Burckart asked if the intention was to put light stantions in the rear area in the middle of the parking and driveway area. Mr. Bradford pointed out this was done at the suggestion of CAB because of the monotony of the end island in a row. Mr . Walsh changed the plans to comply-with CAB suggestions. Council suggested Mr. Walsh go back to his original plan. Richard Stoddinger, Gee & Jensen, requested a copy of Mr. Walsh's drainage submittal to South Florida Water District. Councilmember Burckart mentioned salt tolerant plants ought to be used and suggested the galvanized, chain link fence ought to be green in color. A citizen was concerned whether this dealership was new car or used car. Councilmember Collings explained the Ordinance states "new car dealership. " Village Council Meeting Minutes July 13, 1989 Page 9 Councilmember Mackail suggested a landscape performance bond and a utility bond be required and asked Attorney. Randolph to address those two issues . Attorney Randolph stated all new projects require a landscaping bond for a reasonable period of time after the Certificate of Occupancy to ensure the surviveability of the landscaping, and released subject to all the landscaping surviving for a period of one year. The utility bond would ensure the laying of the power along the easements that are going to be provided and released to the owner after the power is put in place. The amount of the bonds should be determined by the Building Official . Attorney Randolph also suggested any motions regarding this project should be very specific in their conditions . Councilmember Burckart made a motion to approve the Site Plan Review and Special Exception, and Land Development Permit subject to: 1 ) FPL easement on the north side of the property line in the area in front of the building, which needs to be included on the Site Plan, showing a five-foot easement . 2 ) Change the landscape islands in the rear of the property to break the center island into two end islands , with eight trees in the four new islands . 3 ) All landscaping will be looked at to be sure it is salt tolerant. _ 4 ) All FPL service will be underground. 5 ) Chain link fence will be green. 6 ) Queen Palms along U.S . #1 will be done to match streetscaping on U.S . #1 . 7 ) All conditions shall be listed and in recordable form in the form of an Agreement; landscape Performance Bond and Utility Performance Bond, as well . 8 ) The recorded easements in hand for the adjacent hotel property, as well as the auto dealership property in order to accommodate the underground utilities to be provided prior to the issuance of a Permit. Village Council Meeting Minutes July 13, 1989 Page 10 9 ) Also a letter addressing specifically the afterhours lighting . Councilmember Mackail seconded the motion. The vote was : William E. Burckart - for Ron T. Mackail - for Earl L. Collings - for the motion therefore passed and was adopted. Attorney Randolph pointed out this motion covered the approval of the Site Plan as well as the Special Exceptions, these being conditions of each of those . B) Review of Inventory of Native Ecosystems with Tequesta Prepared by Palm Beach County Department of Environmental Resources Management. Rich Walesky, Director of Palm Beach County Department of Environmental Resources Management, presented an overview of the County' s conceptual approach of native ecosystems regarding restricting of site clearances in the Village of Tequesta to protect native plants and reviewed an invitation to Tequesta to participate in a County moratorium on such. The three properties involved were : 1 ) 15-acre water treatment plant area; 2 ) St . Jude' s church property; and 3) Coast Guard property north of CR-707 . Village Manager Bradford stated that though the intent of what the County wishes to do is admirable, it may be somewhat late. Mr. Bradford stated the water treatment plant property should not be involved at all because the Village has $8M of capital improvements on that property and would not want restrictions in providing water to their service area; regarding St. Jude' s property, that comes within the area of the Task Force which is coming up with a master plan for the development of that area; as far as the Coast Guard property, this also falls in the realm of the Task Force. Mr. Bradford stated, in general , he was very uncomfortable with the concept as it applies specifically to Tequesta. Councilmember Burckart reiterated the Village has an ordinance which prohibits land clearing without Council approval , and thereby control takes place without a moratorium. Councilmember Collings stated the Council endorses the concept on a county-wide basis , the ecosystem should be preserved; however, in the case of Tequesta, because it is so far developed, these three specific pieces Village Council Meeting Minutes July 13, 1989 Page 11 of land must be handled to the benefit of the Village. Therefore, a statement could not be issued favoring the County buying those properties . Councilmember Mackail stated he agreed, but suggested Mr. Bradford come up with a recommendation and then proceed from that point . Mr. Bradford agreed to write the County Commissioner a letter to explain the concerns expressed at today' s meeting and that a clearer map of the areas involved should be presented to Tequesta. Council agreed. C) Consideration of Proceeding with Zoning Code Text Amendment to Allow for Increased Building Height Within the C-2 Zoning District. Village Manager Bradford referred to a letter written to Scott Ladd, Building Official , on June 19 , from Mr. Sullivan of Brittany International , basically stating Brittany International wanted to request a revision of the Zoning Code that currently allows in the C-2 District three stories and 40' of height to 5 stories and 60 feet of height. This would enable them to build a Raddison Suite hotel with 135 units. At the last Task Force meeting, it was felt the five stories and 60 feet was acceptable, to give developers more flexibility, and that 8 stories should be given conideration, with - limits , either geographically or through incentives offered to reduce height in return for other options. It was also suggested that it only take place through a PUD, giving Council greater control over height and other matters related. Councilmember Mackail felt the Village needs to be competitive with modern-day technology and supported the PUD concept as a positive one , on a conceptual basis. Councilmember Burckart supported the increase in the number of stories, without limiting it to a PUD, since it might rule out certain uses, such as a hotel . Mr. Burckart felt the height limit should be on a first-story basis only. Attorney Randolph noted it is possible to change the Code to five stories on a site-by-site approval basis only through a PUD. Regulations have to be consistent through the zoning district. The only way to do it on a site-by-site basis is to 1 ) change the zoning; or 2 ) through a PUD. If through a PUD, then there wouldn' t be much of a change to make, because the present commercial PUD provides everything that was wanted, and also has a permitted building height which states , "the allowable heights for buildings shall be the same as provided in the C-2 Zoning Districts . However, at Village Council Meeting Minutes July 13, 1989 Page 12 discretion of Council , building heights may be increased to a maximum of four stories, or 50 feet. " Attorney Randolph suggested a simple change would be to change the last phrase to go to the number of stories decided upon. Councilmember Burckart stated he remembered the PUD restricting acreage, times of operation, and exterior lighting. Scott Ladd stated a Special Exception could take care of any such problems. Councilmember Collings favored changing the Zoning Code to go to five stories, without an open-end height requirement. Councilmember Burckart felt the PUD was a viable situation. Gary van Brock felt five stories would give developers great flexibility, but that 8 stories was unnecessary. Councilmember Mackail pointed out Broadview and Sandpoint apartment complexes were five and eight stories . Jack Horniman stated PUD approach has some value but substantive reasoning was needed and that anything over five stories should be subject to a PCD. Mr. Bradford noted that though there is no deadline for a decision, Mr. Sullivan is desirous of moving forward with a Site Plan approval for the Raddison Hotel . One problem might be it will take a little bit of time to put this whole thing together. Attorney Randolph suggested staff come up with a proposal , along these lines of suggestion, to be submitted to Council , have the Task Force review it, and bring it up again at the next Council Meeting. Council agreed. VIII . UNFINISHED BUSINESS A) Ordinance No. 385 - Second Reading - Providing a Telephone and Telegraph Franchise to Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company for a Period of Ten ( 10) Years . Attorney Randolph gave the second reading of the above-referenced Ordinance. Councilmember Burckart moved to approve the second reading. Councilmember Mackail seconded the motion. The vote was: William E. Burckart - for Ron T. Mackail - for Earl L. Collings - for the motion therefore passed and was adopted. Village Council Meeting Minutes July 13, 1989 Page 13 B) Ordinance No. 386 - Second Reading - Amending Chapter 9 of the Village Code of Ordinances Pertaining to Fire Code and Open-Burninng Permits. Village Manager Bradford gave the second reading of the above-referenced Ordinance. Councilmember Burckart moved to approve the second reading . Councilmember Mackail seconded the motion. The vote was : William E. Burckart - for Ron T. Mackail - for Earl L. Collings - for the motion therefore passed and was adopted. IX. NEW BUSINESS A) Ordinance - First Reading - Increasing the Capital Improvement Charge for Each New Connection to the Water System. Village Manager Bradford gave the three scenarios of the capital improvement charge: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 18 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES: "WATER" ARTICLE I AT SECTION 18-3(f) RELATING TO CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT CHARGES, SO AS TO INCREASE THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT CHARGE FOR NEW CONNECTIONS, TO $1 , 500 .00; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. " Mike Rocca, representative of Gee & Jensen gave an overhead presentation and explanation of the study done to justify the increased capital improvement charge. Councilmember Collings posed the following question: If there were no added ERCs , would expansion be needed in Tequesta to serve the present demand? Richard Staudinger answered "In theory, if no one came in and connected to the system, there would be no funds to expand. Yes. " Secondly, Councilmember Collings asked: Because of the disproportionate levels of water consumption throughout Tequesta' s service area, is it feasible to expect Tequesta could control usage with rate structures? Mike Rocca answered, historically, there is some effect from those rates, depending upon what levels they were set at. Richard Staudinger explained the main danger to the water source is salt water intrusion. Councilmember Collings stated the demand will increase by nature of growth in the area. Village Council Meeting Minutes July 13, 1989 Page 14 Richard Staudinger agreed that because of the stress on the present water system, it is therefore logical to state more production protection is needed and since the present water service area cannot legally be reduced the demands of the existing customers will continue at the present level with the possible exception of being able to cut down consumption through various ways . Therefore a capital connection charge is needed from the new applications for meters to support expansion. Mr. Van Brock, a Developer, asked if the Village had any obligation to provide water service under the existing rates for people with undeveloped property. Councilmember Collings explained this subjectmatter concerns expansion, not distribution. Attorney Randolph explained the question was in reference to why people who have owned land in Tequesta for years are having to pay for new development. He explained he knew of no other way to accomplish this except through development, rather than length of time of ownership. Mr. Bradford explained the theory behind the cost of bearing •capital expansion has radically changed and is now an impact fee for the demand to the water system. Mr. Bradford pointed out how reasonable the increase is in comparison to increases made by surrounding communities . Attorney Randolph read the Ordinance by Title. Councilmember Burckart had three points of discussion: 1 ) disagreement with additional charges to pay an existing debt ; 2 ) felt figure for repaying of debt to Jupiter Island was way off; 3 ) preferred to see the capital connection charge on a per property basis, reviewed annually. Mr. Bradford attempted to answer Mr . Burckart' s concerns : 1 ) regarding a statement in the Ordinance that "such payment shall go into a capital improvement fund, which shall be a separate fund to be used for capital improvements to the water system, or for payment of debt service on the water revenue certificates, Series 1976 , for subsequent issues . " Mr. Bradford explained the current capital connection charge of $400 pays for the ' 76 issues , and by leaving that in there, it allows for the new revenue to address future debt and theoretically the $400 aspect of the new $1500 charge applied to prior debt, $1100 applied to new. 2 ) $2310 is what the Jupiter Island connection charge has been increased to . $2310 is in addition to $1500 . 3 ) Mr. Bradford explained it is wrong to think property comes into play here -- it really comes down to ERCs . On a system-wide basis , if a one-acre piece of property on the island is being developed at 50% of allowed Village Council Meeting Minutes July 13 , 1989 Page 15 density, it simply means on a system-wide basis , you don' t just have to build that at 50%. Therefore, no money needs to be spent to expand the plant by virtue of possible future expansion. But in regard to Jupiter Island specifically, if it was 50% less than anticipated, you would have to ascertain on an annual basis what adjustments for their special costs would have to be made to help get back as much cost as was fronted years ago. Attorney Randolph explained this Ordinance does not really do anything to the Island other than add to the $2310 the capital improvement charge being added across the board. It was the feeling of Council when adopting the $2310 it would be looked at on an annual basis and changed, if needed. Therefore, there seemed to be no need to hold up on the adoption of this Ordinance if in fact the Island would be looked at separately. Village Manager Bradford explained $1500 was a fair middle-of-the road approach . In view of the present extended drought and the impact on the surficial aquifer -- additional taps to that aquifer will deplete at an even faster rate -- logic must persist and in all probability R/O will have to be a consideration to meet the demands of the system. If that path were to be followed today the increase would be $1800 . Therefore, leniency is in effect with the people with undeveloped property, but a little bit of protection has to be in place - therefore, making it a good, middle-of-the- road approach. Councilmember Mackail moved to adopt the first reading of the Ordinance . Councilmember Burckart seconded. The vote was : William E. Burckart -- for Ron T. Mackail - for Earl L. Collings - for the motion therefore passed and the first reading was adopted. Tom Hall, Water System Manager, Tequesta Water Department, regarding the program for conservation, stated the South Florida Water Management District voted in favor of mandatory water restrictions for northeastern Palm Beach County with legal enforcement beginninng on July 17, 1989 . Village irrigation hours previously mandated by Council need to be changed to comply. Lawn irrigation will be 4 : 00 A.M. to 8 : 00 A.M. only -- odd numbered houses on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday - even numbered houses on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. Local law enforcement agencies will be notified giving violators a warning for first offense and fined on the second offense . This applies to those on city water and and those with private wells, also. Village Council Meeting Minutes July 13, 1989 Page 16 Councilmember Collings asked regarding people with six zone watering systems , how these people should water. Mr. Hall stated they would need to reduce the timeframes on those zones, squeezing 6 zones into 4 hours , allowing 15 minutes per zone. Mr. Hall stated the Water Department has already been approached about such problems and in some cases, manpower is sent to the homes to show citizens how to re-set their timers. Mr. Hall stated literature on conservation methods has been purchased, a list of all Homeowners Associations has been compiled to pursue an information meeting to discuss conservation methods, and the Water Department is in the process of contacting all irrigation contractors to discover the latest water saving devices . Councilmember Collings asked if fine monies go to both South Florida Water Management and Tequesta. Mr. Hall did not know, and stated Florida State Statutes would have to be examined. B) Ordinance - First Reading - Increasing Permit Fees to 1 1/2% of the Value of Construction. Attorney Randolph gave the first reading of the above- referenced Ordinance . "AN ORDINANCE OF THE VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER VI OF THE CODE OF THE VILLAGE PROVIDING FOR THE PAYMENT OF CERTAIN FEES ENUMERATED THEREIN TO THE BUILDING OFFICIAL; BY AMENDING SECTION 6- 142(a) , THE FEES RELATING TO BUILDINGS , STRUCTURES OR ALTERATIONS REQUIRING A PERMIT; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. " Village Manager Bradford explained this was discussed previously at Committee meetings and recommended Council vote for approval of the Ordinance. Mr . Bradford pointed out this increase would allow the Village to incrementally stay on par with other agencies and will minimize pressure on the ad valorem tax rate by generating non-ad valorem revenues which are permit fees to help the Building Department revenues approximate expenditures . Mr. Bradford stated this would be a $50, 000 increase per year. Councilmember Mackail moved to approve the Ordinance. Councilmember Burckart seconded the motion . The vote was : William E. Burckart - for Ron T. Mackail - for Earl L. Collings - for the motion therefore passed and was adopted. • Village Council Meeting Minutes July 13, 1989 Page 17 X. ANY OTHER MATTERS. Mr. Bradford felt it would be wise for Council to mandate that, henceforth , on all Site Plan Reviews the Building Department provide a clear list of recommended conditions based upon their analysis of the Site Plan, ( i .e . , a Master Plan to guide through the process ) . Mr. Bradford felt it might be beneficial to have staff' s input . Council agreed and Mr. Bradford stated he would direct Scott Ladd to start doing so. XI . ADJOURNMENT There being no other matters before the Council , the meeting was adjourned at 11 : 50 A.M. Respectfully submitted, • Fran Bitters Recording Secretary /fgb DATE APPROVED: July 27 , 1989
