REGULAR MEETINGAUGUST 22, 2005 <br />stated that there are many more stories about the residents at the Catholic Worker House <br />that they would like to tell. Stories of people turning their lives around and why a <br />residential setting the beauty of a home, lawn and a garden is necessary for people to feel <br />at home and welcomed. Mr. Griffin stated that the Catholic Worker House is still willing <br />st <br />for negotiation. The Catholic Worker has talked about their three-fold approach: 1 <br />ndrd <br />application for zoning; 2 mediation; 3 litigation as the very last resort. The Catholic <br />Worker would like to be flexible, willing to negotiation. The real dialogue maybe has not <br />even begun to unfold, because that requires sitting down at the same table and not seeing <br />an opponent, but a person. This is not an easy situation, however being able to see <br />forward, to see if a compromise can be reached. This controversy has been hard on the <br />Catholic Worker House, the neighbors, and everyone involved. The Catholic Worker <br />would like to talk and come to the table and try to work something out. They love the <br />neighborhood, think that they are a good part of that, and are willing to talk about ways <br />for them to be able to stay. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />There being no further business to come before the Council, President White adjourned <br />the meeting at 8:10 p.m. <br />ATTEST: ATTEST: <br />________________________ _________________________ <br />John Voorde, City Clerk Charlotte D.
