on May 8 and also public hearings by the City Council on May
13 and14.

a new revised copy of the regulations. He added that he had
the opportunity to get together with Mr. Bushnell and go over
this latest copy.

Official, Deputy Building Official and Recording Secretary.
Chairman Kelly referred to the latest copy having numerous
typographical errors. Mr. Barrett advised him that these
errors would be corrected. Mr. Barrett suggested that in
the interest of time, they proceed going along with these
having been verified by M~. Bushnell and Chairman Kelly.

rewritten. He informed the Board that he met with the City
Attorney and discussed this for 2½ to 3 hours. It is almost

make the corrected copy tomorrow. They plan to run s~ffi-
cient xerox copies for the City ~&~e~r and City Council
members, so they have correct copies to read. They will
then proceed in producing the book in its entirety.
Col. Trauger referred to this Section 10 and questioned
whether they should have the concurrence of the Chairman
of the Board of Adjustment? Chairman. Kelly advised him
that the Planning & Zoning Board did not consider this
chapter and the City Attorney, City Clerk and Building
Official went over this. He pointed out that the bock had
been reduced by five pages and 4½ pages were cut out of
the Board of Adjustment section. Col. Trauger replied that
he just wondered if the Chairman of the Board of Adjustment
had been consulted just as a form of courtesy. Mr. Barrett
informed him that a copy had been given to the Chairman of
the Board of Adjustment.
Mr. Bushnell then proceeded with making the following cor-
rections~

referring to districts and the indication that subsequent

tence stating what City owned means. After discussion, it
was agreed to add at the bottom of Page 34~ "CO - City owned
