Council Member Kelly. It would eliminate the reading of the detailed procedures governing
public hearing at each Council Meeting. It would require that such a reading take place at the
first regular Council meeting of each year. Thereafter, it would be mentioned that the
procedures governing public hearings are available in pamphlet form which will be placed next
to the Council agendas.
Council Member White made a motion, seconded by Dr. Varner that Bill No. 7-05 be
