Mayor Pope apologized to those persons in the audience who
were presented for the deleted public hearings. City Attorney Shipsey stated
that the action taken at the last meeting regarding, the Wells' 'pre zoning
case, in his opinion~ does not need to be reheard since notices were not sent.
He said the law requires that notices 'shall be published' and notices 'may
bemailed...tointerested persons. The fact that the notices were not mailed
does not invalidate Council action. Council Member Millis stated that because
notices have been sent in the past, a precedent has been set"; Steve Cool,
I
attorney for Mr. Wells, stated' he agreed with Council Member Millis and is'
williyg for the application to be reheard on December 9. Mr. Shipsey commented

to waive the 60 day limit requirement"; Council Member Hogan moved to set
the hearing for December 9. The motion'died for lack of a second. Council
