It was explained that the Council <br />historically had never initiated an assessment district and the matter of an <br />assessment district for this particular area had come before the Council on <br />past occasions and that it had not gone through because of failure to get more <br />than 50 per cent of property owners signatures on the petition and Council <br />initiated action could not be taken because of failure to get the required <br />affirmative vote of the Council. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Councilman Herrin, seconded by Councilman Patterson, <br />to refer the request of the Human Relations Commission to staff for <br />recommendations regarding the alternatives available in creating an assessment <br />district, Council initiated or property owner initiatec~ and the proposed <br />boundaries and construction; and to further instruct staff to work with <br />representatives of the Human Relations Commission regarding recommendations <br />for the boundaries and construction. The motion was adopted on the following <br />roll call vote: <br /> <br />AYES: <br />NOES: <br />ABSENT: <br /> <br />Herrin, Patterson~ Villa, Yamamoto, Griset <br />Markel <br />Evans <br /> <br />CITY MANAGER ABSENCE On motion of Councilman Patterson, <br /> seconded by Councilman Yamamoto <br /> and unanimously carried, the City <br />Manager was granted permission to be absent from the City for a portion of <br />the months of November and December. <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL -348- November 16, 1970 <br /> <br /> <br />
