Mayor Attebery called the meeting to order. Councilman Page gave the
invocation
Mayor Attebery explained this meeting was called to consider the restric-
tions for the Metropolitan Medical. Center. Each Councilman had sent in
a list of proposed restrictions; these were compiled, typed and mailed
to each Councilman and copies were mailed to Mr. Hugh Steger, representing
the Medical Center and to Mr. Bill Patterson, employed by a group of
adjacent property owners to represent them.
Mr. Patterson said they would like to have more time to study these
restrictions. They felt they did not have adequate time to study them
and come up with ideas of their own. Mr. G., C. Adkins, 3139 Myra Lane,
asked some questions concerning the restrictions and said he would like
to have more time for study.
Councilman Mallon said, we thought it a courtesy to the property owners
to make an effort to cooperate with them in drawing up these restric-
tions, not an obligation. Councilman Page suggested the opponents and
the proponents be given a week to get any ideas or suggestions in to
City Attorney Nichols so he will be able to draft an ordinance for the
Council's study. The Council was in agreement to this suggestion. Mayor
Attebery said, we do not want to restrict them so that they will be
unable to build.
The meeting was closed and the Council went into-executive session. No
formal action was taken by the Council.
Adjournment,
Dorthanna Williams, City Secretary
