12. Council considered an application for a Council hearing from
Mr. Tim DeWalt, appealing the decision of the Wrecker
Committee denying permit.
Planning Director Chuck Harrington addressed Council and gave
background on this item and reasons the Wrecker Committee
denied a Wrecker Permit to Mr. DeWalt. It is the Committee's
opinion that Mr. DeWalt failed to present sufficient evidence
to warrant a new Wrecker permit, and they recommend on that
basis, that Mr. DeWalt's request for a public hearing before
the Council be denied.
Motion was made by Councilperson Sutherland to deny the
request of Mr. Tim DeWalt for a public hearing before the City
Council. Second by Councilperson Cooper. The motion carried,
8 ayes and 1 nay.
