Sharon Kendall, Executive Director of the Department of Community and Economic Development offered to call Mr. Fozo. When she returned she noted that she got his voice mail. She indicated that it was her understanding the Bill was a "clean up" matter with regard to terminology. Council Member Rouse noted that at an earlier Common Council meeting under the Privilege of the Floor portion, a citizen inquired about the political sign across the street on Lafayette. He stated that since some of the amendments address political signs that there should be a clear understanding of the reasons for the requested changes. Council Member White stated that more time is needed in order for the Administration to present their case for the numerous number of requested changes. She stated that there must be a clear understanding of the reasons for each. Dr. Varner stated that if the Council does not have proper information for these requests there would be an appearance that the "Council handed off their decision" to the Administration and the Area Plan Commission in this area. Following discussion, Council Member Rouse made a motion, seconded by Council Member Dieter that Substitute Bill No. 47-05 be continued until the November 28,2005 Council meeting. The motion passed. It was also requested that the Council Attorney contact Mr. Fozo and Mr. Leone and notify them of the Council's request for detailed information on each of the requested changes. There was no miscellaneous business. Council Member Kuspa then adjourned the meeting at 3:32 p.m. Respectfully submitted, ��Iir�cf Council Member Ervin Kuspa, Chairperson Zoning and Annexation Committee KCF:kmf Attachments October 24,2005 Zoning and Annexation Committee of the 2005 South Bend Common Council -Page 3-
