1. Introduction of Guests and Viiitors
Chairman Close welcomed Lee Merkel, Director of Community
Development and announced that we would be modifying the order
of our regular agenda, in order to accommodate Mr. Merkel's
need to attend another meeting .
Mr. Merkel briefed the Board on the current status of Council
Bill ~4, relating to adult material. After giving a brief
history of the proposed changes in the .ordinance, including
the deliberations of the Planning and Zoning Commission, the
results of the public hearing they held and their subsequent
recommendation to City Council. He went on to relate the process
at City Council and that an additional public hearing had been
held there on February seventh and stated that no public input
had been received. A member of Council, however, did raise
concerns about several provisions of the ordinance. Merkel
went on to discuss these concerns, as well as, additional ones
raised at a Council study session resulting in the drafting
of a new revision of the ordinance. Chairman Close thanked
Merkel for his report. Discussion ensued with the Board examining
the implications of the revised amendment. A motion was made,
seconded and passed unanimously by a vote of 6 too; endorsing
Council Bill ~4. It was further decided that members of the
EDDA Board would attend the next meeting of City Council to
directly communicate the Board's position and concerns relating
to this issue.
