Public Works and Property Vacation Committee March 8, 2010 Page 2 Mr. Byrd stated that he would agree to the continuance. Council Member Rouse made a motion, seconded by Council Member LaFountain that Bill No. 12-10 be recommended to be continued until March 22°d at the request of the Petitioner. The motion passed. Miscellaneous Business: Dr. Varner noted that he suggested two (2) weeks ago that he believes that it would be worthwhile for the Council to discuss what there priorities would be for 2010 TIF Projects. He stated that as the Council's Redevelopment Commission representative that he believes that that would be very worthwhile and informative. Dr. Varner suggested that perhaps Council Member Rouse would schedule such a discussion under his Community and Economic Development Committee. Council Member Rouse stated that he has the information from the CED website. Don Inks noted that he had a more detailed listing of the 2010 TIF Proposed Projects, and would be happy to share that with the Council. Dr. Varner also noted that it was his understanding that the City Attorney recently issued an opinion on the sign ordinance, which differs from the Building Commissioners 2006 letter on file in the Office of the City Clerk. He suggested that perhaps the Zoning and Annexation Committee could receive an update from the Administration. Council Member Kirsits, Zoning and Annexation Committee Chairperson stated that if the City Code is going to be amended to address that concern, that he would also like the City Code amended to address all of the 4' x 8' For Rent plywood signs which are going up all over the city causing more visual blight. There being no further business to come before the Committee, Dr. Varner adjourned the meeting at 4:33 p.m. Respectfully submitted, ~~/ ~~~ _~ vid A.
