County Commissioners Joe Edwards, Michael Kinsley, and Dwight Shellman were present. Mayor Standley explained that he and Councilwoman Johnston felt the Council and Commiss- ioners could have their bi-monthly meetings on the same day and have the meetings overlap so there will be communication. Both Council and Commissioners will be in regular session and will have the power to act. UMTA REPORT George Ochs, County Engineer, reviewed the UMTA report briefly. Ochs told Council the UMTA application for the grant was sent to Denver ten days ago. It went through the Denver Report office and was forwarded to Washington D.C., where it is being circulated. Ochs said he expected some word in two to three weeks. Ochs reported that the Commissioners had selected consultants for two works areas; Economic Research Associates from Orlando, Florida, and Boston had been selected for the funding alternatives study, and for the Alternatives mode study, P B Q & D, of San Francisco, were selected. Ochs said there was a large amount of paperwork which continues an this project. Ochs stated that he would need UMTA's concurrence before he allowed the consultants to start any work. Ochs reported he had sent out fiv~ proposals for the three other work areas; light rail refinement, technical support and project management, and auto disincentive study. Ochssaid he would need some citizens in the community to assist in reviewang the proposals. Commissioners Edwards asked what the consultant selection process review team was. Ochs said the first part of the proposal as sent out, called a request for procurement. This describes the work program. Consulting firms submit proposals describing their approaches., how they would do the work. These are reviewed by Ochs, the Commissioners, and independt people in the community. Based on this, the work was redefined and resubmittals were asked for. These resubmittals were reviewed and the selection was made. Ochs told the Council and Commissioners he had asked for interested people to help review the proposals. Three people from the citizens transit design committee wanted to review the proposals; Pat Dobies of Holy Cross reviewed all the proposals. In the finance area, Jim Daggs has worked closely as an independent judge. RESTAURANT CERTIFICATION . Restaurant Tom Dunlop, City Sanitarian, told Council and the Commassioners that he and Bob Nelson, · !~Certificatic County Sanitarian, planned to hold a restaurant certification course at the Aspen 'Coukse Institute March 15 - 18. The partlcipants in the course are people who operate a food service establishment. Dunlop said they were trying to instigate better sanitation in restaurants and upgrade the facilities, which teaching better management practices. This will be a comprehensive course put on by the City of Aspen and Pitkin County Depart- ments of Environmental Health, Colorado State Health Department, Colorado Mountain College, and Colorado-Wyoming Restaurant Association. Dunlop said that for a restaurant to get certified they have to obtain an above average score on a restaurant inspection afterwords, prove they have instigated some type of employee training practice teaching the help what they have learned in school. Dunlop said the course is well worthwhile; people can learn a lot regarding the business aspect. Dunlop said the sanitarians can justify the inspection techniques. Dunlop reported that the program is Federally funded. There is no local expenditure of money except his and Bob Nelson's time. Dunlop asked that one representative from the Council and from the Commissioners be present opening day for a short introductory speech. Bob Nelson, County Sanitarian, said he felt this is one of the most positive approaches the sanitation department can make to a 20 million dollar business in Pitkin County. Nelson said that a restaurant certification can be rescinded. This places the burden on the restaurant manager to initiate and maintain the employee training programs. The manager must constantly watch over the employees to make sure they are handling the food properly, and cleaning up. Nelson reported they have had excellent response to this program. Nelson said he hoped to continue with this program through the next two or three years in order to get all the establishments in Pitkin County through the course. Commissioners Edwards asked what value the restaurant certification was to a restaurant owner, other than education. Nelson answered that public recognition was the primary. value; people will know they are eating in an establishment outstanding in sanitation. Nelson pointed out that the certification ~s voluntary at this point. Councilman De Gregorio asked if, in the future, they could require the course before a food license is issued. Nelson answered yes, if they continued the course and all restaurants could take it. TRANSPORTatION RE.~ORT Commissioner~ Shellman reported there had been a joint policy meeting on the bus system Bus,system three weeks ago. Shellman stated one of the difficulties regarding the system is that report people don't know how to us~ it; the information is not getting out. Shellman said they did two things at the ~oint meeting; hired Ashley/Moore, a public relations office in town~ to do some advertising, and decided to hire a marketing director. Shellman said a market~l lng director would go to the public, find out the problems with the bus system, and help to get ready for the off season and the summer season. The City and Count~i would fund Regular Meeting ---~ .... the overall program for the off seaon; this would cost about $1,000 in salary. Shellman stated they all felt that the bus system could do a muck better job in terms of communicating its own availability and how to use it. This could entail posting the bus schedules, advertising on radio and in the new~paper, and other methods to get out the information to the public. Shellman told Council he had interviewed three people for this job. Commissioner Edwards said that transportation director, Yank Mojo, felt he needs this help. Mojo doesn't have the time to deal with building ridership. Councilman De Gregorio moved to appropriate $500 to help fund the educational program for the buses; seconded by Councilman Wishart. All in favor, motion carried. Councilman Parry is to continue to help choose this person. JOINT RESOLUTION Aspen Resource-Recovery Recycling Dacre Bush, project director for the Aspen Resource-Recovery Recycling program, told Council and the Commissioners they needed financial aid to kick off this program of Aspen Resource recycling. Mayor Standley asked what heppens if the ARRR doesn't operate within their Recycling - expenses, and their revenue schedule is off. Bush answered there would be an advisory Joint board made up of one Council, one Commissioner, and a citizen to make monthly reports Resolution of expenditures and revenues. Bush stated the total liability of the City and County will be up to $20,000. Bush has accounted for $13,000 in revenues through selling recycled materials in the first year. The total deficit for the City and Council would be $7,000. Bush said he had talked with the Four Corners surplus department, and there is a very good chance he will get vehicles from them, which will save $7,000. Bush said the front end commitment would be about $8,600; without the vehicles this could come down to around $2,000. Councilman Wishart asked if Bush had tried to obtain Federal money. Busk answered he had applied for an EPA grant but was turned down. Bush has received a letter from COG instructing him to run another grant through. Councilman Wishart asked if the resolutio were written so that if the money is not needed for vehicles, the City and Council will get the money back. Ochs answered the existing joint budget is set up so that any monetary gain are split between the City and County 50/50. City Manager Mahoney said he felt this was a non-economic proposal; spending $20,000 to get $13,000 worth of scrap is non-economical. Ochs pointed out that the capital costs in this budget are of value over a period of time. They will be used for years. Ochs also pointed out that the volume of trash which would go into the landfill will be substantially less. This will tend to lengthen the life of the landfill, which is definitely a gain. The third point is no~ covered in the budget. This is experimental compost and mulching program. There will be no revenue generated by this, but it will benefit the people who might use them. Commissioner Edwards agreed with Mahoney. Edwards stated it did no~ seem worthwhile to waste more resources, like oil and gas, driving to Denver. Edwards said he would like to see the investments in vehicles from the Four Corners, and George Ochs make a volume analysis to show that the program can break even. Edwards said he could no~ see sub- sidizing a loss of $8,000. Edwards said the ARRR has got to show that this will result in a net natural resource savings. Commissloner Kinsiey said he felt Ochs had set up a pessimistic cost schedule. This program does have major long term benefits. Councilman De Gregorio moved to read the joint resolution; seconded by Councilman Wishart Commissioner Shellman and Councilman De Gregorio said they felt this was a worthwhile project. Councilman De Gregorio pointed out this is only a one year experiment. Ail in favor, motion carried. JOINT RESOLUTION WHEREAS, it is a policy of both local governments to make efforts which will enhance the environment, and WHEREAS, it is a consistent with local government policies to pursue the conservation of the area and the nation's natural resources, and WHEREAS, the City of Aspen and Pitkin County, being said local governments, have been responsive to prior recycling resource recovery work done by the Aspen Recycle Resource Recovery group, and WHEREAS, said ARRR group has prepared a one year experimental program for consideration by the City of Aspen and Pitkin County (attached to and a part of this resolution), and WHEREAS, this program could be adopted as an amendment to the Solid Waste Center budget of which the expenses are shared between the City and County on a 50/50 basis, NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Aspen and the County of Pitkin hereby agree to support this one year experimental recycling and resource recovery program with the following conditions being placed upon the program and its sponsors: 1. The City/County Solid Waste Center budget be amended to allow additional expenses not to exceed $22,785 and additional revenues anticipated at a minimum level of $13,050. 2. That the maximum defitict of $9,735 be shared'equally between the City and County governments. 3. That the User Fee Schedule be altered whereby all persons, businesses or other entities be required to pay for use of the landfill at all times when unsorted trash is delivered to the site. 4. The User Fee Schedule be altered so that all persons, businesses or other entities be allowed free use of the facility at all times when trash is delivered to the site separated in a manner which allows for it to be easily recycled or recovered. County Engineer responsible monitoring the anticipated 5. The be for expenditures and revenues and will make a formal report to the City Council and the Board of Commissioners for their July 12, 1976, meeting as to the financial status and overall operational success. I 6. Either the City Council or the Board of County Commissioners may at their discretion terminate the financial support of the project should there be evidence that the anticipated deficit be greater than estimated or for any other cause considered objectionable or an encumberance upon either governmental body. 7. Should either governmental body terminate financial support of the project, that body will be responsible for a proper and timely notification to the other body. 8. The County Engineer and the Board of the Aspen Recycle Resource Recovery project shall issue YegUlar reports to the City Council and the Board of County Commissioners on the status of this project throughout the year and at the conclusion of the project will prepare and issue a summary report listing all financial data, overall success assessment statement and a submittal of a future program based upon the success of this experiment. Councilman De Gregorio moved to adopt the joint resolution; seconded by Councilman Wishart. Mayor Standley suggested that number 7, proper and timely notification, should be amended to a 30-day notification. Councilman De Gregorio accepted the amendment to the motion; seconded by Councilman Wishart. Commissioners Shellman said it might be preferable to try to develop management capability in recycling to make it economic. Councilwoman Johnston pointed out the Council and Commissioners could make that decision when they get the reports, if it is or is not economic. Mayor Standley suggested that the front end money be $8,650; if Bush gets Four Corners equipment, that will be subtracted from the $8,650. Councilwoman Pedersen asked that the agreement in #8 specify monthly or quarterly° Commissioners Edwards asked that added to the agreement be that no expenditure of capital funds until they have exhausted surplus possibilities. Councilman De Gregorio moved to add these amendments to the motion to adopt the joint resolution; seconded by Councilman Wishart. All in favor, motion carried. Finance Director Butterbaugh pointed out there were no funds in the general fund to appropriate for this. Commissioners Shellman moved that the County Engineer prepare an intergovernmental contract incorporating the terms of the joint resolution and budget; seconded by Commissioners Kinsley. All in favor, motion carrisd. PRIDE OF ASPEN PURCHASE City Attorney Stuller stated the purchase price is now $45,000. Loey Rinquist will Pride of sell the top half and donate the bottom half. The sale is conditioned on using the Aspen land for park or public open space. Councilwoman Johnston pointed out that MS. Rinquist is basing her price on the fact that the land would accommodate a duplex, but is not purchase allowing the City/County to put anything on it. Commissioners Shellman said the County interest has waned, primarily because of the change in price. Shellman stated he would be inclined to entertain a reasonable offer at a future date, but it is not appropriate for the County to go ahead with this now. Shellman said he would like Brian Goodheim involved, and the planning office comment about open space uses. Commissioners Edwards said he did not see any sense in paying the price for a duplex site, having the land restricted, and giving a tax benefit to the seller. Commissioner Shellman moved to ask the housing and planning offices to formulate a substitute proposal or make a recommendation for termination; seconded by Commissioner Edwards. Councilman Wishart pointed out the City has been trying not to develop this area, and that should be one of the considerations. Councilman Wishart said this was not a good support place for employee housing. Councilman De Gregorio asked if this is in an avalanche zone. Planner Bill Kane answered part of it is subject to sliding. Kane said he wanted to put a proposal into more detail. Kane noted this land is very steep, and he is discouraging development in that area. All in favor, City and County; motion carried. ANTI-HAIL. PETITION ti-rail Mayor Standley told the Council and Commissioners he had talked to Michael Hernstadt and petition had told him it was inappropriate for the anti-rail group to bring pressure of the activity of the County through the City merely because the City happens to have the mechanism for letting them do that. The mechanism does not exist in the County. Mayor Standley read from Resolution ~36, passed by the Aspen City Council in September 1975. "That the City Council reaffirms its intention, if the UMTA grant is given, to submit the question of the rail transit system to a county-wide election to assure voter approval of the project." Mayor Standley said the Council felt they had shown good faith by already putting it to the electorate. The City had conditioned their funds upon ratification by the County electorate. Anti-rail Michael Hernstadt said the City may be doing the Commissioners a favor by brSnging this petition to an election. The City Council will be taking leadership if they pass the proposed initiative ordinance after the group has the requisite number of signatures. Hernstadt said he wouldn't be surprised if the Commissioners weren't looking for a comfortable way out of the rail mode transit as it stands. Hernstadt said the construction figure with UMTA was 13 million dollars; Hernstadt said the figure would be closer to 5 to 7 billion dollars for 11 to 14 miles of rail. Hernstadt said this system never was viable and his committee is aware of that. Hernstadt told Council and the Commissioners that this symbolic initiative, if approved by a tremendous number of voters of Aspen, may create mileage for the Commissioners. Hernstadt said the system and process is no longer wanted in Pitkin County. Hernstadt said his purpose is being present was to ask the Council to adopt an ordinance. Hernstadt read the ordinance: "That the city or any of its employees, agents, or instrumentalities shall not engage in or involve itself in any county project which would be in furtherance of a rail mode of transportation in the Snowmass-Owl Creek-Aspen Corridor. The term "engage in or involve itself in" includes, without limitation, study, examine, build, or take any action in furtherance of. The term "rail mode of Corridor specifically includes transportation in the Snowmass-Owl Creek-Aspen ' " the project now under study and consideration by.the County of Pitkin in application for an UMTA grant; provided, however, this term does not include a rail mode of transportation from glenwood Springs to Aspen." Hernstadt said he wanted Council to think about this, and he would bring their reaction to his March anti-rail meeting. Hernstad~ said that if the Council joined with him or concurred the initiative, they might be taking some leadership and giving the Commissioner some guidance. Hernstadt said that~the process to date has cost maybe up to $500,000, and the taxpayers and electors are getting concerned. Commissioner~ Kinsley asked if the alternatives analysis came up with a clear choice for bus, what effect upon the County's chances for getting money for the buses would this have. Hernstadt answered he was lUSt talking about the rail mode alternatives. Shellman stated the reason the County is doing the alternative study is to demonstrate that the County will study all alternatives, not just rail. Shellman said the rail was identified in 1973 in the Vorhees plan as a feasible alternative. Councilman Parry said he did not understand how the County could make a study be elimina- ting one alternative. The reports have to be equal on all phases of alternatives. City Manager Mahoney objected to the language in the initiative and said it violates his Charter responsibilities with respect to budgetting. County Engineer Ochs said his feeling on the alternative analysis is that he has been getting misleading statements interjected into the process. Ochs said there is no mess with UMT~. Ochs stated there was no way to make an engineering estimate without being here and ].o0king at the p~oject itself. Ochs said he felt it was unfair of Hernstadt to circulate these type of comments around the community without thorough analysis. Ochs stated the $500,000 in-house costs to date was inaccurate. There has been $150,000 in costs to date in preparing the grant application, planning wo~rk in attempting to get mass transportation system developed in the County. Mayor Standley said to date the City has tried to act responsibly; they have followed the leadership given by the voters. Mayor Standley said the City had made sure not to get into anything without voter ratification. Mayor Standley said the City would not parti- cipate in a problem that does not directly involved the City, just because the City happen to have the mechanism. This petition would get the City misdirected for a period of time when the Council is trying to run the government. Mayor Standley said he would hate to see the City get sidetracked to engage in an election that the City already has had. ~ouncilman Wishart moved that the Council does not support this particular initiative petition; seconded by Councilwoman Pedersen. Councilman De Gregorio said he did not think the City and County should do anything to eliminate the change to get a grant for a transportation system, whatever the alternative is. Councilwoman Pedersen said the request in this particular affidavit is totally unreasonable. This would eliminate members of city staff working on pricing, costs, · nvestment in capital equipment, planning, etc. All in favor, motion carried. The joint meeting adjourned at 6:35 p.m. Council took a five minute recess. MINUTES Councilwoman Pedersen moved to approve the minutes of the February 16, 1976, special meeting, and the February 23, 1976, meeting; seconded by Councilman Wishart. All in favor, motion carried. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE Councilwoman Johnston pointed out there were no unauthorized purchase orders for the month. Councilwoman Pedersen moved to approve the accounts payable for February; seconded by Councilman Wishart. All in favor, motion carried. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION 1. Dave Farney, Little Annie Ski Corporation, told Council there had been a 34 per cent Little Annie growth an skiing at vail last year, and 24.9 per cent for the Aspen area. Farney said he felt Pitkin County should plan ahead. Farney passed out a draft of the Environmental ski corp. Impact statement done for the Little Annie Ski area. 2. Hans Brucker told Council he had come up with a personal idea to save money on the Brick paving brick job for the mall, whether it is five blocks or eight. Brucker said he thought in mall this could save several hundred dollars. Mayor Standley said the City had already gotten bid specs out on the mall. Brucker answered his idea could be done independently of the bid specs and would present this to City Manager Mahoney and the planning staff this week. 3. Hans Gramiger told Council he felt Owl Creek would be developed with the rail, not Light rail necessarily with any other form of transportation. Gramiger said he felt light rail is a tremendous growth generator, and the impact on Owl Creek will be great. COUNCILMEMBER. COMMENTS Town - 1. Councilman Behrendt said the alleys are filthy and practically impassable in certain dirty places. The malls are still dirty. Councilman Behrendt said he would like to see an effort made in the next week to clean them up. Initiative 2. Councilman Wishart suggested the City look into a Charter amendment to stiffen up or referen- the requirement for getting petitions for initiatives or referendums. City Attorney dum petition Stuller answered that could be done by extending the number of signatures required or limiting the items that can be voted on. Vendor at 3. Councilman De Gregorio brought up the vendor on the Little Nell's sundeck. City ~ittle Nell Attorney Stuller said the vendor had been cited by the City this morning. 4. Mayor Standley gave congratulations to the Aspen Police Department for the fine job they did at Vail and the Colorado Law Enforcement ski race. 5. Mayor Standley told Council he~ and City Manager Mahoney were going to New York to City's bond rating make a presentation to Moody's on the City's electric bonds to see if they could get Aspen an A rating in the bond market. Aspen 6. Mayor Standley said the whole deal with the Aspen Institute is getting obfuscated Institute again. Mayor Standley asked City Manager Mahoney, Ms. Stuller, and Planner Kane to put together a packet for the next agenda. The Institute Board meeting is on March 26, so the timing is appropriate. Maurice Mitchell of Denver University said that DU had not made up their minds whether to put undergraduate or graduate students here. STUDENT COMMENTS There were none. BOARDS & COMMISSIONS APPOINTMENTS P & Z Councilman De Gregorio moved to nominate both Gosta Johnson and John Schuhmacher to the Schuhmacher Planning and Zoning Commission; seconded by Councilwoman Pedersen. Ail in favor, motion carried. John Schuhmacher was elected by paper ballot. Bd Examiners Bishop Councilman De Gregorio moved to re-appoint Gene Bishop to the Board of Examiners & Appeals; seconded by Councilman Wishart. All in favor, motion carried. SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT - Aspen Ski Club Special Mayor Standley explained that this permit is for the Ski Club's Las Vegas night like they did last year. It is the major fund raising event for the ski club for the Aspen Skiers Event permit Aspen Ski Educational Foundation. The Eagle's Club is sponsoring the special event permit for club the one day. Councilman Behrendt moved to grant the special events permits; seconded by Councilwoman Pedersen; All in favor, motion carried. TRUEMAN PROPERTY - Conceptual Subdivision Trueman City/County Planner Bill Kane told Council that six major points had been agreed upon property - since the last meeting. Trueman agreed to a 60 foot road and proper alignment has been showed. Any reference to the post office size has been dropped; the unnecessary curb conceptual subdivision cuts on Mill street were dropped. Adequate provision for separate conveyance of land to the school district has been given (this is lot 4). The sporting goods rental has been dropped. Kane said this left two issues; the use of land in the panhandle, and the issue of the food store size. Jim Trueman told Council he had reviewed all items discussed at the last meeting and had made changes favorable to comments of Council. Trueman said he would much appreciate a motion to approve the subdivision plan as submitted. Councilman Behrendt questioned not using lot 3 for one year. Trueman said he had no problem with not developing it for a year. Mayor Standley's only comment was on a grocery store at 20,000 square feet. Mayor Standley said after talking to Bryan Johnson, ETF, and Pamela Gassman, he feels that is an inappropriate s~ze grocery store. Mayor Standley said he would like to see a 15,000 square foot grocery store, and asked for Council's opinion. Councilwoman Johnston concurred that appropriate size is 15,000 square feet. Councilman Behrendt wanted 15,000 square feet; Councilwoman Pedersen - 15,000 square feet. Councilman Wishart said Council~ had gone through the process, and he would stand by the duly reached decision of 20,000 square feet. Councilman De Gregorio objected to a 20,000 square Trueman foot store because of that 12,000 square feet is grocery and the other 8,000 square property feet is other retail uses. 20,000 square feet is too~'much because it is not a grocery cont. store. Councilman Parry agreed with Councilman Wishart, and said he believed that 20,000 square feet is the right size for that location. Jim Trueman told Council he could not get an operator capable of running a store for less that 20,000 square feet. Trueman said the grocery store is the key to the project. Trueman said that zoning exists for a 20,000 square foot store on that piece of property. Councilwoman Johnston objected to the size of 20,000 square feet because it is a traffic generator and brings people from other parts of the city. Joe Porter said that Trueman had been operating with the due process of City Council and had gone on from that point. Council has changed their minds, and Porter said he did not know where to go from here. Architect Larry Yaw said the basic problem is that if the 20,000 square feet store doesn't happen, the operator of that store doesn't happen, then the whole project doesn't happen. Yaw said he had gone through every phasing strategy possible to make this happen. Mayor Standley said when the Council changed their vote, they were being responsive to the citizens. It is unfair, to say that the Council is not being predictable and con- sistent. Aspen now has a 15,000 square foot grocery store. Mayor Standley said it would be absurd for the Council to allow development of 20,000 square feet not knowing what kind of political changes are quite possibly going to occur in the next couple of months. Mayor Standley said he felt the Council had strong arguments for a smaller grocery store. Councilman De Gregorio said he did not feel it was the City's responsi- bility to guarantee a developer economic profit. Kane said it was desirable for the City to express what it wants in the way of a grocery store. Kane said he had a hard time believing that someone can't 15,000 square feet and make a store go in Aspen. Councilwoman Pedersen said the argument in favor of a large food store was based on Basalt and G~enwood Springs. This is Aspen, Colorado, and there are certain things here that are valued such as scale, not too much convenience, taste. Councilman Behrendt moved to deny the conceptual subdivision approval; seconded by Councilwoman Pedersen. Trueman asked Council to consider the following changes; second floor employee housing 10,000 square feet; ground floor 15,000 square foot grocery store, 10,000 square feet other retail; basement 10,000 square feet of health center and service retail and to include 2,000 square feet of storage for a total of 47,000 square feet. Kane said to take 5,000 square feet out of the grocery store may not accomplish Council's goal; it may just relocate the 5,000 squafe feet from the grocery store. The argument against the 20,000 square foot grocery store is mainly against the non-food items; this would just be moving them. Kane recommended this 5,000 square feet be put into service retail uses. Architect Yaw said the specific uses would comply with the neighborhood commercial zone. No one knows at present what uses will be in there, but they will comply with the N/C standards. Mayor Standley said if the uses are restricted enough and given identification so as not to pull away from the tourist retail, then it does not create that problem. Kane said his argument is the duplication of commercial core retailing. Councilman Behrendt withdrew his motion; Councilwoman Pedersen withdrew her second. The submitted site plan was marked to indicate the changes and resubmitted. Councilman De Gregorio moved to approve the site plan as marked of to include dropping the market to 15,000 square feet and increasing the retail to 10,000 square feet, at the zoning discretion, include 2,000 square feet in the basement as storage and to hold the panhandle in moratorium for one year; seconded by Councilman Parry. Councilwoman Pedersen said she felt the town needed service/commercial areas most; not just retail. Councilman Wishart said if, in fact, those things are needed, that is what will move there. All in favor of the motion with the exception of Councilwoman Pedersen. Motion carried. ORDINANCE #4, SERIES OF 1975 - Definition of Commercial Bakeries Mayor Standley opened the public hearing.

ORDINA~E #.11, SERIES OF ~.9~.6 - Appropriation for Mall Design 0rd.11,1976 Mayor Standley opened the public hearing. Mayor Standley said he wanted a clarification Mall Design of how the money would be appropriated. City Manager Mahoney had submitted a memorandum appropriati¢ showing allocation of those funds.
