Q0 the Common tountfl of the City of mouth Ven :
The July 27, 1992 meeting of the Committee of the Whole was called to order by Council
President Steve Luecke at 4:35 p.m.in the Council Informal meeting room.
Persons in attendance included Council Members Luecke, Coleman, Puzzello,
Washington, Kelly, Slavinskas, Duda, and Ladewski; John Byorni, JoAnn Harper, Don
Porter,and Kathleen Cekanski-Farrand.
The Committee then reviewed Substitute Bill No. 60-92 which would amend section 1-5 of
the City Code addressing the City Seal. JoAnn Harper, a member of the Committee which
studied the City Seal made the presentation. She noted John Williams was most
instrumental. The overall purpose of the Ordinance is to correct the City Seal to be
historically consistent. Mrs. Harper noted that there would be no cost to incorporate the
proposed changes. Following further discussion, Council Member Coleman made a
motion, seconded by Council President Luecke that Substitute Bill No. 60-92 be
recommended favorably to Council. The motion passed.
Under miscellaneous business Council President Luecke discussed the River Bend Historic
District proposal. It was noted that the City Council as a whole is required under state law
to propose such requests. The draft of the memorandum prepared by the Council Attorney
was then circulated among the committee members. The overall purpose of this would be
to comply with the statute but make clear that the Council would be introducing the Bill to
comply with the procedural requirements only, and that it reserves judgment on merits of
the particular re-zoning or historic preservation request until after full hearing.
Council Member Coleman noted that this particular Historic District request had much grass
roots effort involved.
Following further discussion, Council Member Coleman made a motion seconded by
Council Member Slavinskas, that the Council be the initiating party for the River Bend
Historic District and utilize the proposed memorandum prepared by the Council Attorney.
The motion passed with Council Member Washington voting against the motion.
There being no further business to come before the Committee the meeting was adjourned
at 4:50 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Council President Steve Luecke,
Committee of the Whole
