At 4:00 p.m. Mayor Skadron called the Special Meeting to order with Councilmembers Mullins, Myrin
and Frisch present.
Mayor Skadron said this is a special meeting to amend Resolution #132 from Street to Avenue.
Mr. True said we are here to address the language in the ballot issue in Resolution #132. There is a lot of
case law about the description of avenue and street being irrelevant unless there is the possibility of
confusion. Since we don’t have a Hopkins Street I don’t think that is the case. What I have proposed is
an amendment to resolution #132 to change Street to Avenue.
Councilman Hauenstein arrived.
We also have the same change in the settlement agreement. There is an additional change in the
settlement agreement that was initialed by the litigants that changes the parenthetical element on Option
A to request that the “F” in former not be capitalized. We wanted to keep it relatively simple to make
sure we were describing it properly.
Mayor Skadron said changing Street to Avenue and changing the capital “F” to lower case.
Councilman Myrin asked would it be easier to change the name of the street. We all seem to think it is
Hopkins street. Mr. True said all the signs say Avenue.
Mr. True suggested council move to approve the amendment to the settlement agreement correcting the
scrivener’s error in paragraph 2 changing Street to Avenue and “F” to “f”.
Councilman Hauenstein moved to adopt the changes outlined by Mr. True; seconded by Councilwoman
Mullins. All in favor, motion carried.
Councilman Frisch moved to adjourn at 2:08 p.m.; seconded by Councilman Hauenstein. All in favor,
motion carried.
