ITEM II: AUTHORIZE BIDS FOR HARBIN DRIVE PROPERTY.
Councilman Allen Horne stated he believed a minimum bid should be
set for the sale of the property on Harbin Drive, otherwise it will
like the last time when we had to reject all bids and sooner or later
people will quit bidding on the property.
City Administrator Kurt Ackermann advised that it had been determined
that $250,000 was the amount needed for the City to break even on the
costs involved developing this property.
Councilman Bill Brede said he thought a minimum bid should be put on
each lot. Should put this into committee and let them figure the
squire footage of each lot and set a minimum dollar figure per square
foot and bring it to the Council for a vote.
Mayor Pro Tem Larry Hammett assigned this item to the Planning &
Development Committee. He asked the Committee to have a recommendation
by the next council meeting. The Committee to set a minimum bid for
each lot and have something for the Council at the next meeting.
Councilman Bill Brede suggested, in order to save time, the Committee
get sane figures ready as soon as possible and have another special
council meeting.
Mayor Pro Tan Larry Hammett said the ConTrattee would have something
ready as soon as possible.
ITEM III: W(
PLANNING
Mayor Pro Ten Larry Hammett, speaking for himself and the Council,
said the Council was not trying to rescind the Sign Ordinance. The
ordinance has been effect for a while now and maybe there are some
areas of it that need to be reconsidered.
After a general discussion between the City Council, the Planning &
Zoning Commission, and the Board of Adjustment members present, Mayor
Pro Tan Larry Hammett called for a "straw vote" for a consensus of
what the Council wanted to do. The vote was 3 for enforcing the
ordinance as it is; 3 against enforcing the ordinance as it is.

Mayor Pro Tan Larry Hammett asked the City Council, the P & Z
Commission, and the Board of Adjustment to study the ordinance and
in about two weeks he would call another meeting to hear and discuss
any suggestions for amendments to the present ordinance or if everyone
is agreement to enforce the ordinance as it is.
There being no other business to cane before the Council, the Mayor Pro Tan
adjourned the meeting at 6:20 p.m.
