Street Assessment for Growth Within the City Limits: The City
Engineer discussed with the Council a proposal for assessing the
owners of property for the future construction of street improve-
ments. The assessment would occur at the time of the development
of the property and would provide funds for the street work to be
done by the City later, or the developer could do the work and be
reiumbursed for portions of the construction that did not directly
benefit the developer's land. The City Attorney was directed to
prepare a suitable ordinance for presentation to Council. The City
Attorney was also directed to prepare an ordinance outlining fee
schedule and amendments to City Ordinances charging fees so that
in the future changes in the fee and fee structure could be made
by the amendment of only the fee schedule without the amendment
or reenactment of the various ordinances.
Jack Chapman - Discussion With Council on Livestock Ordinance
Mr. Jack Chapman was recognized to discuss the livestock ordinance.
He stated he does not like it. He also indicated that he is
operating a horse and cattle trading business in a 100 x 145
foot back yard at his residence. City Council did not offer any
modification to the situation.
Approval of Bills: On motion by Cecil Norris and seconded by
Doyce Stanton the bills were approved for payment. Motion carried.
Audience and General Discussion Mr. and Mrs. Tims and Mrs.
Carman, neighbors of Mr. Charles Niswanger, appeared to discuss
the action taken by Council last year with regard to mr. Niswanger's
optical lab. They were concerned that a shed had been built on the
site where the new optical lab was to be built thus making it
impossible to build the new lab there or in an area far enough
from their residence to satisfy their concerns. Mr. Niswanger
claimed that he had no plans of any sort at this time but
that if any action was to be taken it would be submitted to his
neighbors for their approval and if they did not approve, the
action would not be taken. He indicated that if his neighbors
would not agree to whatever he finally decides, he will sell the
154
property and move to where he can do what he wants. Council agreed
to review the action last year and advise Mr. and Mrs. Tims as to
the City's position. Mr. Christie noted that if the minutes
revealed the building was to be relocated at a particular point,
that would be taken under consideration when a building permit was
applied for.
Mr. Jim Broyles then raised several questions about the police
department which the City Attorney suggested were personnel matters
properly to be covered in closed session.

Adjourn: The meeting was then adjourned.
