Session 1303, Minutes Page 7 April 26, 1982 Mr. Levy said he felt somewhat uneasy about approving this and that he had a cer- tain amount of skepticism about the validity of trying to ascertain the attitudes of people through a telephone call. He asked if there was a document which repre- sented the Master Plan as it is at present. He felt the updating was a good idea but said the Council must know the premise first. Mr. Ollendorff said the premise was that the Council had asked that there be an updating of the Master Plan. He noted that the project would take a great deal of staff time, in addition to that of the Plan Commission. Responding to Mr. Levy, Mr. Ollendorff said there would be a great deal of citizen involvement in addition to this survey, which was a small, but significant part of the entire updating pro- cess. Mrs. Metcalfe said there were two pieces of information which would be useful--a summary of what is now in the Master Plan, and an outline of the process for up- dating it. If that information was forthcoming, she felt the Council would feel more comfortable with approving this segment of the project. Mayor Mooney asked for a motion to approve. Mr. Lieberman said that until he knew and understood what extent and weight this particular survey had in the overall effect of the Plan, he would not support it. He moved to postpone until additional information was forthcoming. Mayor Mooney said he felt this was a step in the procedure that the Council previ- ously approved, and if that was understood, there was no reason to postpone. Mr. Levy concurred with Mr. Lieberman, saying he felt he needed more information. He seconded Mr. Lieberman's motion. All voted Aye except Mayor Mooney and Mr. Adams, who voted Nay. ANNUAL BUDGET PRESENTATION The City Manager said the proposed budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1982, was presented for City Council review. Study meetings are scheduled for May 3, May 17 and May 19. The public is not only welcome, but urged to attend to see the kind of consideration councilmembers will be giving to the budget, Mr. 01- lendorff said. Public hearings on the budget and the use of revenue sharing funds will be held on May 24. It was suggested that the Council aim for adoption of the budget on June 7 as well as related ordinances. EXTENSION OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT The City Manager recommended extension of the conditional use permit for the auto- mobile filling station at 7701 Delmar. Although construction was proceeding rapid- ly, unforeseen soil problems led to the need for additional time, with 15 days be- ing requested (to May 15, 1982). Mr. Lieberman moved approval, with Mr. Levy seconding the motion. All voted Aye except Mr. Adams, who voted Nay.
