City Attorney Askins raised a procedural point concerning Ordinance 780-YYY and 780-ZZZ, ordinances rezoning a 23 acre tract of land on 146 for container storage and an ordinance rezoning from Residential to Commercial a 4.5 acre tract on McCabe Road. The public hearings have been held; the three newly elected members of Council did not participate in those public hearings. There are two courses of action open to Council. If the Council wishes to vote on these ordinances tonight, the three newly elected members would have to ab- stain because they didn't participate in the hearing. The other course of action would be to table the ordinances, redo the public hearings so the full Council could participate in the vote. G_~: Mr. Mayor, I feel that the new Council should take part in this because this is gonna not only affect today, but 20 years from now. So I think they should have time to study these ordinances for rezoning. This would give them time so they wouldn't go into this blind. I make a motion that we table this until a new public hearing can be el on April 8 at 7:00 P.M. Matuszak: Mr. Mayor, may I ask a question? Is this to say that we are going to have to have another public hearing so • that we can participate in it, or is it just a matter that we haven't had time to study this?
