Council meeting.

that you're recommending, and I assume that that's the main recommendation, a
continuance of this matter is because you want the City Attorney to look at
this to see its ramifications for legal implications with the large property
owne~ of public/semi-public property. The City Manager concurred and he
commented it was also to confirm that there is no negative impact in any way
on the litigation. Responding to Mayor Pro Tem Kanel, the City Manager stated

record, that he had not been contacted by anyone to ask for a continuation of
this item.

item on the next Agenda pending the City Manager contacting the City Attorney,
then update the Council and does not see a two week delay as detrimental.

continue this item to July 24, 1989. The City Manager will discuss this
matter with the City Attorney and the matter to be voted on at the next
meeting. Mayor Pro Tem Kanel stated that he did not feel there was any reason
to continue this item. The motion carried by the following roll call vote:
