The meeting was opened with the Pledge of Allegiance and a moment of silence. None of the Commissioners requested that any of the Consent I tems be removed for discussion. Minutes It was moved by Commissioner Hawks, seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that the minutes for the regular meeting of August 21, 1989 be approved as amended. The mo- tion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Hawks, Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Martel, Commissioner Goehrung and Mayor Sti ff; those voti ng No, none. ort re viewshed mana ement - Rich Morse, Bozeman Mayor Stiff requested that speakers limit their presentations to three minutes. Those supporting a vlewshed proposal commented as follows: Mr. Rich Morse, representing the Bozeman Viewshed Council, stated the issue is not one of timber harvest but that timber harvest be accomplished while maintaining the viewshed surrounding Bozeman; and suggested that a conservation easement on Mount Ellis be considered. Logging on viewsheds can curtail other economic development. Mr. Rick Meese, Bozeman resident, stated he has been involved in this issue since the State proposed logging Mount Ellis some years back, representing the Madison/Gallatin Alliance in opposition to that effort. Mr. Meese then circulated two black and white photo- graphs taken from the top of Mount Ellis stating he felt the photos speak for themselves; the Gallati n front had been heavi Iy logged. Mr. Meese requested the Commission support the Bozeman Viewshed Council's proposal. Speaking In opposition to the proposed viewshed proposal were: Ross MacPherson, a Bozeman resident, consultant forester and representing Brand S, commented on the surrounding viewshed of Bozeman being one that includes a variety of vegetation, natural openings, openings created by fire and some openings created by 08-28-89 . . '. -2- ~----- past timber harvest; forest management can maintain that view. The basic principle of forest management is that trees grow, die, and accumulate fuel faster than they rot. Due to cool temperatures, dead trees do not rot quickly; consequently, it can easily burn. 1,400,000 acres burned last year In the Greater Yellowstone due to these conditions, which were present in the area. Further, if the forest areas, especially around developments that include people, are not managed, a dramatic increased risk of fires occurs. By managing the forests, the risks of fire decrease. Mr. MacPherson stated that the State Forester's work In Montana has been exempla- ry as far as Mount Ellis is concerned. A long-range plan was developed in 1980 including the Mount Ellis area; and the State is now implementing that plan. These harvests not only produce timber for the area mills, but provide income to the State School Trust, reduce the fire hazard, and protect the aesthetics of the area by leaving 25 percent of the timber growth for reseeding. Mr. MacPherson feels the issue is not one of "either, or" but rather a co-existence of timber harvest and viewshed proponents. Mr. MacPherson then urged the Commissioners to read National Forest Landscape Management, Volume 2, Chapter 5, Timber (U. S. De- partment of Agriculture, Forest Service, Agriculture Handbook No. 559); he then gave the book to the Commission to read. He then recommended the Commission make known their concerns for the viewshed to the State Forester and to the State Department of Lands asking them to show the Commission how they intend to manage the viewshed. He a Iso encouraged them to tour the area. Mr. MacPherson then urged the Commission to consider what the trained professional forester is recommending. Mr. Don Allen, Executive Director of Montana Wood Products Association headquar- tered in Helena, Montana, informed the Commission that his association. comprised of mills, timber companies and loggers operating in the State, represent about 90% of processed logs in Montana. Mr. Allen, speaking on behalf of the Association, is opposed to the Bozeman Viewshed Council's proposal for a conservation easement on Mount Ellis. The Association's ;,q concerns are for the ~ that would be set should the Commission approve the pro- posal, and would set the stage for future actions throughout the State. Mr. Allen com- mented that the c1earcuts of 20 acres are in the past and that concerns for the vlewsheds are consistently being addressed by the timber industry. The issue is also one of economics; the timber industry In the western part of Montana accounts for 46% of the economic base--In most states it is 16%. In the southwestern part of the State, the timber industry accounts for 27% of Montana's production, which is more than in any Rocky Mountain State other than Idaho and Arizona. From the standpoint of payroll and jobs, 20,000 work indirectly for a payroll of $260,000,000; direct work payroll of $400,000,000 to /" 08-28-89 .... d'..':____ < . , -3- $500,000,000. Mr. Allen further stated that the logging can be accomplished without compromising the recreational wilderness areas and the tourism industry. He indicated that Commission endorsement of the concept of a conservation easement may seriously hinder other activities dependent upon such areas. Mr. Dennis Davaz, representing the Montana Use Site Forest Practices Committee, referenced the Bear Canyon Management Plan, Indicating the preferred alternative of the State Department of Lands includes three zones of management within' the Bear Canyon management unit: Zone A, consistIng of approximately 2278 acres. is designed for recre- ational developments; Zone B, consisting of approximately 2211 acres, or 40% of the area, is designed for timber production of moderate intensity with under 40-acre cuts as the main use with scenic and recreational uses influencing its boundaries; Zone C, consisting of about 956 acres, contains the most productive site and has been classified for dispersed recreation and scenic values. The State forester and other trained professionals have con- sidered the scenic issue, and through the plans implementation, those scenic issues will be addressed while maximizing the long-term income to the School Trust Fund by managing the total unit to its greatest collective sustained financial advantage. Mr. Davaz then urged the Commission to read the Plan first before making their de- cision, which he hopes will be one of multi-directional effect. Mr. Jerry Fertag, representing Idaho Pole Company, commented that most of that company's product has been harvested from the surrounding area; that Hyalite has been extensively harvested over the years, approximately 66 times that which is being con- sidered in the Mount Ellis property, and yet Hyallte is a heavily used recreational area that has a maintained viewshed. Ms. Peggy Olson-Frank, Executive Director of the Western Environmental Trade As- sociation, commented that her organization represents a coalition of state-wide interests in- cluding labor, agriculture, motorized recreation, business and resource industries. The Association's primary goal is to improve Montana's economy and the creation of jobs with all due regard to protection of our physical environment. The concerns of the Association regarding the item before the Commission is that a carefully prepared management plan created by professionals in the forestry field may be disregarded in favor of the establish- ment of a limited-use concept, which would leave the area unmanaged. She stated such an action would be catastrophic. Further, the Western Environmental Trade Association endorses a multiple-use concept of management for public lands. Responding to Commissioner Vant Hull's query, Mr. Dick Wick, Timber Land Super- intendent of Plum Creek, responded that his company has a mill in Belgrade; and the com- pany owns 200,000 acres in the Gallatin/Park County area. Plum Creek employs 140 at the ~~'" 08-28-89 , . i -q- -------- mill, i ncreasi ng from 120 over the past two years. In addition, there are approximately 100 to 110 contract logging/hauling/woods-type people involved. Plum Creek's operation contributes about $9,000,000 In terms of payroll, taxes, etc. annually to the local economy. Mr. MacPherson responded to the Commissioner's question by commenting that Brand S has remained static for the last five years; there are about 125 employed at the mi II with 125 people that work in the woods as contractors. Brand S is currently considering a J capital investment to produce secondary wood products such as wainscding with the hope of employing more people in the timber Industry. Further, Brand S operates in five na- tional forests, including some hauling from Canada. Mr. Don Allen commented that the industry's employment has dropped about 2500 overall within the last ten years. However, due to modernization and great efficiency, the industry has been able to maintain the same output as in the 1970's. The biggest problem in the industry is timber availability. Mr. John Brady-Finke, Plant Superintendent of Idaho Pole, stated his company has steadily reduced their employees in the last five years due to lack of wood supply. Commissioner Vant Hull commented that she did not see the proposition before them as an "either, or" situation. Mr. MacPherson responded that he had read the proposed resolution before the Commission and felt it was one of prohibition. Mr. Morse responded that the intent of his organization's charter is not one of pro- hibitlon, rather the charter describes a need for management of viewshed quality drainage by drainage. He stated there should be a few areas of the vlewshed surrounding Bozeman that are not in timber management. He then apologized to the Commission, stating he felt this was not the forum for the Commission. Commissioner Martel asked Mr. Morse if the Eagle Rock Reserve and the Bozeman Viewshed Council are two separate entities, noting Mr. Morse and Mr. Ogden are the prin- cipal owners of the Eagle Rock Reserve and also the incorporators of the Viewshed Coun- cil. He also noted they have the same governing bodies. He then expressed concern that Eagle Rock Reserve owns 800 acres, 120 acres of which they plan to develop and sell; how- ever, they propose a conservation easement to control the thousands of acres surrounding the development. Mr. Morse responded that the Viewshed Council's objectives and directions are not to be clouded on a specific issue. Further, he noted that the Viewshed Council's function is to work on broader issues for the entire area, not just the Mount Ellis effort. The letter provided to the Commission is in response to a request for proposed language should the Commission decide to endorse the concept before them. Mr. Morse answered Commissioner Martel's question regarding Eagle Rock Reserve's proposed development in the Mount Ellis area by stating his organization is very interested 08-28-89 I -s- in the long-term effects of viewshed management; and that the Eagle Rock development is also good for the community, not just Eagle Rock. City Manager Wysocki voiced concern regarding the City's interest in the Bozeman Creek and Hyalite Creek areas, particularly In light of the Bozeman Viewshed Council's charter and by-laws. He noted that should a conservation easement be condoned by the City, it could impact those watersheds and future uses, which may include dam access and lake access as well as redevelopment of water storage facilities. He further reminded the Commission that there are a few thousand acres of land owned by the City's Water Fund In the Bozeman Creek drainage which the U. S. Forest Service has mandated to be harvested. The City Manager also requested the Viewshed Council include the City in any of their plans. Mayor Stiff asked Mr. Ross MacPherson what sort of timber is likely to be attacked by the spruce bud worm and pine beetle infestation. Mr. MacPherson responded that not only is the spruce attacked, but douglas fir in all age groups as well. He noted the younger trees are susceptible because the larvae fall from the mature trees down to the younger trees. The cycle is one of every 10 to 20 years infestation; in the past, DDT was used to control the blight, but no such control has occurred in some years. The Mountain Pine Beetle attacks mature lodgepole pine trees and can, therefore, be controlled through cuts prior to the infestation. In a managed forest, there will be a variety of trees and different age groups. Mr. MacPherson emphasized that 75-80% of Bozeman's viewshed is national forest lands; 5% is the State of Montana; 5% Is Plum Creek; and the remainder is private owners, with quality controls at the State and National levels. Responding to Commissioner Hawks' question, Mr. Davaz stated that the Department of State Lands created that area by zone to delineate highest and best uses for the Bear Canyon area. Zone A is comprised of 2,278 acres; Zone B has 2,211; and Zone C has 950 acres. The current acreage being considered for the upcoming timber sale Is 150 acres, or less than 10% of the whole area in Zone B. Mr. Davaz then gave the Commission a copy of the Management Plan, Indicating the State Department of Lands Office here in Bozeman has the computer ability to output a map that would indicate those areas as they would look after harvest. Mr. Morse commented that the State Forest Service does not have a landscape archi- tect and that the Viewshed Council would be very Interested in obtaining the software that produces the maps referred to above and use it to review the proposed logging. Mr. Davaz commented that the area In question is comprised of approximately 85% lodgepole pine and 15% douglas fir and other species. The lodgepole stands in that area are mature and are a prime target for the Mountain Pine Beetle due to their age of 80 to 110 years old and 10-inch diameter. He indicated this makes the area a high risk area for beetle infestation and fire. 08-28-89 , I -6- ~ Responding to Commissioner Martel's question as to what difference is there between infested timber and healthy timber, Mr. MacPherson stated that the black timber from the fires is worth $1.00 per 1,000 board feet; the green timber Is worth $55 to $105 per 1,000 board feet; and timber that is either old or infested is worth $10 to $15 per 1,000 board feet, or 10% to 15% of what green timber is worth. Mr. Fertag of Idaho Pole commented his company will not bid on infested timber be- cause it is useless in their industry. Commissioner Martel referred to the Viewshed Council's proposed activity on the vlewshed, indicating that would not lock up the easement. Mr. Morse responded that the easement describes the scenic parameters which the Council does not Intend to alter; and that Includes the activity of all and gas exploration. Mr. Morse further clarified that the easement's primary use would be for wildlife management and recreational use priorities. Commissioner Goehrung asked Mr. Allen to clarify his comment of "dangerous prece- dent" if the City chose to endorse the Viewshed Council's proposal. Mr. Allen responded that the timber supply and utilization issue is a growing one. A case in point being the Lindberg Lake case in the Swan/Seely Lake area, where essentially timber harvesting was stopped through such an action that is being proposed here. Mr. Allen then referred to a group functioning in the northwestern part of the State known as the Cumulative Effect Watershed, comprised of all owners in a specific ranger district. This group makes their decisions based on water quality and visual effects; and private industry companies, State lands, and Federal agencies participate in the process. Mr. Allen stated he feels this is the best process for making decisions, since all Interested groups are involved. City Manager Wysocki informed the Commission that Mary Ziebarth, 2204 Arrowleaf )1 Hills Drive, telephoned in support of the request.. submitted by the Bozeman Viewshed Council in urging the State to find an alternative to clear cutting or logging on Mount Ellis. Break - 3:15 to 3:20 p.m. Mayor Stiff declared a break from 3:15 to 3:20 p.m., in accordance with Commission policy established at their regular meeting of March 14, 1983. rt re viewshed mana ement - Rich It was the consensus of the Commission to place this item on next week's agenda to allow the Commission time to digest the foregoing testimony and the Bear Canyon Manage- ment Plan, EIS Draft booklet. 08-28-89 . . -7- /---------- membershl on revised Cit City Manager Wysocki presented the item, commenting the City had received a call this date from County Commission Chairman Ray White indicating that during their August 22, 1989 meeting the County Commissioners concurred with the City's recommendation for the City-County Planning Board, to be comprised of ten members: five from City appoint- ments, four from County appointments and one as a Soil Conservation District represen- tative. He stated that a formal letter is forthcoming. Mayor Stiff clarified there is no reference to the ex officio member nor to the vot- ing aspect of the chair; however, those issues are to be addressed through the by-laws. Planning Director Andy Epple concurred. Commissioner Vant Hull requested a response to her six-paint memo regarding mem- bership requirements; It was the consensus of the Commission to place this as an item on an upcoming agenda. Commissioner Hawks suggested that membership terms should be staggered, with two appointed for a one-year term, two appointed as a two-year term and one staggered mid-year during the initial appointment process. If the appointments come due at the end It of the year, the replacements conceiv~ably could be made by an incoming lame duck Com- mission, which could be a detriment to the City. Commissioner Hawks voiced concern over the lack of experience with newly appointed members. Planning Director Andy Epple stated he would like to provide an annual training session for the City-County Planning Board members, perhaps during February when the business of the board tends to be less. He further commented that the City's appointment schedule should be consistent with the County's. Commissioner Martel suggested the Commission meet the timeframe listed by asking for the resignations of the current members, advertise for the positions, and start with a new membership within the timeframe. City Attorney Becker commented that Ordinance No. 802, adopted in 1957 and establishing the City-County Planning Board, has never been amended to include the Soil Conservation District membership; and to adopt a .new ordinance revising the membership will take sixty days. Commissioner Vant Hull referred to the schedule's date of September 26 as the dead- line to form the new City-County Planning Board, acting as the City's Zoning Commission, and asked if that is legally practicable. City Attorney Becker responded it is not. In response to a question from Commissioner Hawks, the City Attorney stated that since the City-County Planning Board renders opinions to a governing body, in this - instance the City Commission, it is conceiv){able that should the Commission appoint ad- 08-28-89 .' . -8- ditional members to the new City-County Planning Board, acting as the Zoning Commission. someone opposed to the proceedings before that Board could enjoin the Board from acting if it is not legally constituted. Planning Director Epple pointed out that between the two eXisting boards, if one disqualifies the two current members who live outside the city limits since they will be ineligible to serve on the new Board, Ralph Johnson, Allen Dunayer and Mel Howe from the Zoning Commission and Roger Craft from the City-County Planning Board are the four current members remaining. It was the consensus of the Commission that City Attorney Becker submit a timeline that would address the legal constraints involved in forming the new City-County Planning Board. Commissioner Hawks left the meeting at 4:00 p.m. Commissioner Vant Hull requested that staff prepare a letter requesting that resig- nations be submitted by the current Zoning Commission members with a courtesy letter to the remaining Planning Board member. The Commission deferred the request until City Attorney Becker submits a new timeframe. It was moved by Commissioner Vant Hull, seconded by Commissioner Goehrung, to appoint two Planning Board members for two-year terms and three City-County Planning Board members for one-year terms initially. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Coehrung, and Mayor Stiff; those voting No being Commissioner Martel. City Attorney Becker responded to Commissioner Martel's concerns relative to a changing Commission's philosophy by stating a Planning Board member, through a majority vote, can be removed. Discussion - ~ossible submittal of request to Highway Department for installation of stop light at East aln Street and Church Avenue City Manager Wysocki introduced the subject, indicating Commissioner Vant Hull had requested this item be placed on the agenda. Commissioner Vant Hull indicated that she had received complaints from residents regarding the traffic backup that often occurs on ~COCk Street wh~turni; left on {"",1 ~..;J p; 1. / Rouse Avenue, suggesting perhaps a traffic signal^ would alleviate the problem. ~he City Manager responded that Commissioner Vant Hull could draft a letter to the Highway Department requesting a traffic study of the intersection. and submit it for Commission approval; Commissioner Vant Hull agreed. 08-28-89 t . , . -9- from Commissioner Goehrun re attendance at the Center for the 1m rovement of anagement Commissioner Goehrung thanked the Commission for supporting his attendance to the 10-day seminar, indicating he would also forward a thank you to Claude Dietz of the Inter- governmental Employees Association in Denver who sponsored the remaining financial obligation for his attendance and sponsored his scholarship. The Rocky Mountain Program is one of three in the country for elected officials and public managers; the other two are at Harvard and Duke Universities. It is sponsored by the Center for the Improvement of Public Management, University of Colorado. Commis- sioner Goehrung then commented he felt the course work presented was equal to or ex- ceeded some of the course work he accomplished in acquiring his MPA. The Commissioner then described the course work indicating he would provide the Commission with informa- tion relative to the strategic planning and policy formulation sessions of this seminar. There were 41 people involved in the program including planners, staff persons. assis- tants, 5 or 6 non-executive managers, counci lors and mayors. Discussion - FYI Items City Manager Wysocki presented to the Commission the following "For Your Informa- tion II items. (1) Commissioner Vant Hull reported citizens' concerns regarding the placement of a proposed 300 foot tower west of town, commenting that planning and zoning staff have both recommended denial of the CUP application. However, she feels the applicant can move the tower outside the purview of control; and this would ultimately be a detriment to the City. Commissioner Vant Hull will address a memo to the Commission with suggested conditions for the CU P application. The Commissioner then commented regarding the unannexed parcels within the City limits, asking why the City could not annex these parcels as some other communities have done. Commissioner Vant Hull reported that the community of Three Forks will enforce its in-town speed limit of 15 MPH. Commissioner Vant Hull then passed out an article regarding poetic justice. (2) Mayor Stiff congratulated the efficiency of the Police Department regarding an issue he was involved in this last week. He requested a Neighborhood Watch Program presentation be placed on an upcoming agenda. Mayor Stiff reported on a meeting to be held in Butte on August 30 at which time the new Highway Commissioner, Dennis Shea, will be introduced. (3) Commissioner Martel reported on his and Mayor Stiff's attendance at the Au- 08-28-89 . . . . . -10- gust 28 school district orientation meeting, noting that Nancy Keenan, State Superinten- dent of Schools, spoke. (4) The City Manager's report as follows. A September 5 meeting with staff has been scheduled for the purpose of bUdget review. He and Clerk of the Commission Sullivan met with representatives of the Holiday Inn and the GranTree to discuss arrange- ments for the 1990 MLCT conference. He indicated an attempt will be made to schedule the conference in conjunction with an MSU football game. Lyman Creek Reservoir cover cables are in place along with the corner of the cover. The booster station hydrant is in place; and testing will be forthcoming. The North Seventh Avenue and Durston Road intersection reconstruction is almost complete with handicapped ramps being placed. City Attorney Becker and Planner Ron Brey have been diligently working on a new sign code last couple of weeks. The City Manager has attended meetings with City's counsel, Pete Lineberger, regarding some 600 water claims by Dr. Chemodurow. Fire inspection of business facilities will begin this Fall. Review of revocable permits by a summer intern is almost complete. The City's sewer lines have been TV'd, resulting in a lot of work to be accomplished; the results will be mapped. The City's Street crews have been concentrating on alley cleanup this past week; and school signs have been placed. Testing of Lindley well is forth- coming; the abandoned restrooms in that area will be utilized as housing for the well's ac- cessories. Consent I terns City Manager Wysocki presented to the Commission the following Consent Items. It was moved by Commissioner Martel, seconded by Commissioner Goehrung, that the Commission approve the Consent Items listed, and authorize and direct the appropriate persons to complete the necessary actions. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Martel, Commissioner Goehrung, Commis- sioner Vant Hull and Mayor Stiff; those voting No, none. Recess - 4:45 p.m. Mayor Stiff declared a recess at 4: 45 p.m., to reconvene at 7:00 p.m., for the purpose of conducting the scheduled public hearings. 08-28-89 . . ,; , I . -11- Reconvene - 7:00 p.m. Mayor Stiff reconvened the meeting at 7:00 p.m. for the purpose of conducting the scheduled public hearings. Public hearing - Tentative Appropriation Ordinance for Fiscal Year 1989-90 City Manager Wysocki presented the Tentative Appropriation Ordinance for Fiscal Year 1989-90, as reviewed by the City Attorney, entitled: ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDI NANCE OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONT ANA, APPROPRIA TI NC CITY FUNDS FOR VARIOUS BUDGET UNIT EXPENDITURES, AND FURTHER APPROPRIATING REVENUE NECESSARY TO OPERATE AND MAINTAIN CITY SERVICES FOR SALARIES, OPERATIONS AND CAPITAL FOR EACH OPERA- TIONAL BUDGET UNIT OF MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1990. Mayor Stiff opened the public hearing. City Manager Wysocki briefly highlighted the Tentative Appropriation Ordinance noting it includes the following expenditure totals: General Fund - $4,128,328; Special Revenue Funds - $805,953; Debt Service Funds - $185,625; Internal Service Funds - $327,748; and Enterprise Funds, comprised of the Water Fund - $1,798,811, Sewer Fund - $1,588,271, and Garbage Fund - $596,032; for a Grand Total in the Operating Budget of $9,430,768. This figure includes changes that were anticipated as a result of the Goals Setting by the Commission last Spring. The City Manager also indicated that under Sec- tion 2, estimated revenues total $9,430,768. Joe Frost, a resident of Bozeman, commented that he has read the bUdget and feels the budget did not fully address some Issues such as sidewalks, tree maintenance, and police as it relates to safety on the streets. Mr. Frost commended City Manager Wysocki in doing such a good job with a limited bUdget and accomplishing a great deal. Commissioner Martel clarified that the budget appears to reflect a deficit due to de- preciation in the enterprise funds; however, the City's financial health is on the plus side, rather than a deficit. No one was present to speak in opposition to the Tentative Appropriation Ordinance. Mayor Stiff closed the public hearing. Final adoption of this resolution will take place during the September 11, 1989 meet- Ing. Cit 's intent to exceed the City Manager Wysocki presented Commission Resolution No. 2757, as reviewed by the City Attorney, entitled: 08-28-89 '" "... '.': . ~ t.. .. 01' .. -12- COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2757 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA, DECLARING ITS INTENTION TO EXCEED THE CERTIFIED MILL LEVY FOR FISCAL YEAR 1989-90. Mayor Stiff opened the public hearing. City Manager Wysocki explained that annually the State of Montana Department of Revenue sends a certified mill levy to each City which has exceeded the 65 mill limit for its general fund. According to State statute, Cities may not exceed this certified mill levy unless the governing body passes a resolution to that effect; and that Is the process being followed through this action. This resolution allows the City to utilize revenues resulting from new construction and new annexations, the assumption being the municipality is spread- ing its service to a larger area. The City Manager then reiterated that 1-105 is not being exceeded and that the mills levied remain below the 129.78 mills as established In November 1986 for Fiscal Year 1987, which generated $3,057,876. No one was present to speak I" support of or In opposition to Commission Resolution No. 2757. Mayor Stiff closed the public hearing. The resolution establishing the mfll levy for Fiscal Year 1989-90 will be adopted during the September 11, 1989 meeting. Adjournment - 7:10 p.m. There being no further business to corne before the Commission at this time, it was moved by Commissioner Goehrung, seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that the meeting be adjourned. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Goehrung, Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Martel and Mayor Stiff; those voting No, none. 08-28-89 .'."1i..
