PENDING LEGISLATION
ORD-0046-2016 TO AMEND PART ONE, ADMINISTRATIVE CODE CHAPTER 143,
DEPARTMENT OF LAW, OF THE CODIFIED ORDINANCES OF THE
CITY OF GAHANNA.
Ewald said he has not received any input; available for questions;
Angelou asked about the full-time position; can it be misread to being
here for 40 hours a week; Ewald said it would be a requirement; said
will be on-call weekends and evenings; Angelou asked if it precluded
someone having an outside position; Ewald said in our Charter
currently the position cannot hold any other public office of
employment but does allow private practice; given the workload, it is
less likely today than it was in 1987; cannot take Gahanna criminal
cases since he is the prosecutor as well; Leeseberg said he is not
suggesting a 9-5 position; Angelou said there are things that may be
confusing about that; Ewald said under state mandate, anything below
25-30 hours is considered part-time; that is not what it is now; average
hours are about 52.5 hours/week; the amount of workload, the framers
of Charter wanted to allow Council the flexibility; Westerville has a
part-time City Attorney who is appointed and gives a $500,000 outside
legal counsel budget; Metzbower said it is a salary position; Ewald
said the pay does not increase at all; OPERS cannot be increased
during the term; not concerned about that; concerned that our code
City of Gahanna Page 1
Committee of the Whole Meeting Minutes May 9, 2016
accurately reflects what our positions are doing and the future people
who run for the position are aware of the hours needed; McGregor
sees this as the City Attorney being the quarterback and said does not
know that we need a full-time quarterback; we need those people in a
specialized area; Angelou said we need a manager in that position;
Ewald said it is more of a legal portfolio manager; there are things we
can handle internally; this is not a move, this is a reclassification of
what is currently being done; we have two prosecutors on-site for
Thursday and we also have someone outside that prepares; took over
interns from the law schools; we are getting free legal support; need
someone to support them; we also brought in a part-time paralegal;
need someone here more than part-time hours to manage; in addition
to the meetings required; Mayor Kneeland said with the new direction
we are heading and goals; we are keeping this position very busy; to
really reflect the real job, this is an accurate reflection; does not see us
doing anything but getting busier; a lot of things will be dealt with
in-house; gives us an easier shot of getting things done; supports the
idea; Larick asked about the definition and impacts to benefits; Teal
said looked into the Affordable Care Act; not everything is set in stone;
there are exclusions for elected officials though; Larick confirmed by
law, it does not impact the current requirements; Ewald said he
exceeds the threshold and has no intention of asking for benefits;
McGregor asked in 143.05, the compensation will be paid for outside
services; asked if Council has a say on who those are and that pay;
Ewald said Council would have to appropriate the funds; Larick said
the statement now seems more generic; Angelou asked if the funds
can be transferred; Ewald said not outside of the department; funds
would need to be appropriated for each budget cycle; Larick confirmed
funds in Parks could not be allocated to Legal; Ewald confirmed, not
without Council approval; McGregor said in having this full-time, the
salary would have to be drastically increased; this is setting us up for a
big bill down the line; Larick said question is are the hours required; to
be competitive we would have to pay a higher amount; McGregor said
if you have an attorney with a private practice and they had a junior
partner; they could mange that; Ewald said you could not have anyone
at a practice doing work for the City as it is a conflict of interest;
Angelou said the job would be the same job; it is just acknowledging it;
the job is not changing or increasing in duties; said it may stop people
from running; Ewald said does not know the outcome, but our code
needs to reflect accurately what we are doing; Renner said we
recommend we take this to regular agenda.
RECOMMENDATION: Regular Agenda.
ITEMS FROM THE DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT
1. Development Plan for the Junkermann property
City of Gahanna Page 2
Committee of the Whole Meeting Minutes May 9, 2016
ORD-0053-2016 TO ACCEPT THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE JUNKERMANN
PROPERTY TO ALLOW COLUMBIA GAS OF OHIO TO ESTABLISH
A NEW TRAINING CENTER COMPLEX AND TO AUTHORIZE THE
MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS TO SATISFY
THE JUNKERMANN DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT; AND TO
DECLARE AN EMERGENCY.
Jones said has an acceptable development plan; the property is about
29 acres located in the Commerce District; have a current
development agreement that expires in June 2016; the agreement
poses three scenarios; they can sell the property and pay the City;
they can give the property back to the City; or they can partner to go
through with a Acceptable Development Plan; this needs approved by
Council; excited to discuss these solutions; have been working with
the developer, Pizzuti Company, as well as Columbia Gas to create a
training and education center in 18.5 acres; the proposal is to
construct an almost 30,000 square foot training facility; will be a great
opportunity for our City; we are very pleased they have chosen
Gahanna; we have pulled in Mifflin Fire; they are very excited about
this project and the training opportunities; with this user in mind, Value
Recovery Group (VRG) and the development department put together
this development plan; would also allow VRG to donate back 8.880
acres to the City; there will then be 12.5 acres for future development;
this is a really big difference from what is there now; we have multiple
users looking at these spaces currently; the City will need to sell the
developer .665 acres of Blatt Boulevard at a price of $15,000; is
currently right-of-way; was going to be used as these are developed;
property is critical to the Columbia Gas Training Center layout; will be
used for an entry point; many moving parts here; will take multiple
legal agreements to fulfill this; need a mortgage release, promissory
note release letter, contract for real estate donation, and a real estate
sale contract with the Pizzuti Company; this is what administration
feels is the best plan they have seen; this is our best foot forward;
requesting consideration; if Mr. Poe or Mr. Dugger have additional,
they are also here to answer additional questions; Leeseberg asked
about access; Jones said from Eastgate there will be an easement;
Larick asked if there was a shared use possibility; Jones said has not
approached the Township; there may be some security concerns; an
easement would be required in either case; Mayor Kneeland said this
has been a piece of property they have dealt with for over 10 years;
this development will provide new jobs and unique training; it will also
bring 1,000s of people each year to our City; this is really exciting
stuff; up to now, struggled with what could go in this site; Jones said
Columbia Gas was very interested in meeting with our hotels; they
desire to be a good community partner; pushing this site because of
the current existing Columbia Gas site to the southeast of the
development property; generated revenues will go into our TIF
City of Gahanna Page 3
Committee of the Whole Meeting Minutes May 9, 2016
account; no incentives being offered; McGregor asked the largest size
of the property left; Jones said 3 acres; David Poe said this is a
perfect development for these parcels; we will have about 12.5 acres
left; about a 4 acre chunk on the northwest side and then a 8.5 acre
chunk after; there is a stream that is near the Jefferson Water and
their site; they have to protect that stream; will also have a road that
connects the north and the south; McGregor asked if there was room
for a small parking lot so the public can bird watch or something
related; Jones said yes, as there are wetlands, would take some
initiative from the City; Poe said have a map and are filing with the
core; roughly 6.5 acres of wetland; Mayor Kneeland said will be for
mitigation use elsewhere; Renner asked if they are at an idea of an
estimated completion date; Jones said in 2017; they have mentioned
2200-3000 consistent flow of staff coming to the area for training; the
location lends itself easily accessible to Eastgate or Taylor Road to get
to all of their hotels; Mayor Kneeland added that this training is
ongoing because of the compliance; we were not the only site being
reviewed; we are fortunate to have this coming to us; Renner said it is
really unique; asked if there are other regional facilities in the state;
Mayor Kneeland said this is the only one in Ohio; Angelou asked the
speculation on the amount we paid for the property when it would be
given back in full; Jones said the evaluated benefits shows it would
take over 10 years to receive 1.3 million in property taxes; that covers
the 1.2 million dollars; estimated based on the construction time of the
project; some of those funds will go to the general fund, some to the
TIF account; Metzbower asked if the trainees would be considered
earning an income here; Bury added believes it is now 21 days with a
new change from Ohio Revised Code; Jones added this is now in
Planning Commission; wanted to do this all at the same time;
McGregor said the property we are selling for the $15,000, said the
value we are selling and getting back in donation are not the same
valuation; Jones said correct, we strongly encouraged them to buy the
property; this was not in their original plans; did not want to build a
road in that location; Mayor Kneeland said we have historically
abandoned right-of-ways; with this we asked to be paid for the land;
would not work for anything with them owning that area and those
parcels; Angelou said this is exciting; Jones said there are timing
considerations; Mayor Kneeland said believes it is important that we
move this along as soon as possible; will ask Council to consider
emergency to move it forward; Renner said he is ok with that.
RECOMMENDATION: Consent Agenda, Emergency.
2. Shull Road Pre-Annexation Agreement
ORD-0054-2016 TO AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO ENTER INTO A
PRE-ANNEXATION AGREEMENT WITH CANINI & ASSOCIATES
City of Gahanna Page 4
Committee of the Whole Meeting Minutes May 9, 2016
LTD. LLC FOR THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF A 13 ACRE
PARCEL LOCATED ON SHULL ROAD SOUTH OF BROOKHOUSE
LANE, NORTH OF HEADLEY ROAD.
Jones said Glen Dugger (attorney) and Larry Canini (property owner)
are here tonight to answer any questions; Mr. Canini is the developer;
is a 13.5 acre site along Shull Road; will result in 10 single family
residences; this project will bring a 7 million dollar charge on real
estate; located just near Headley Park and Hannah Farms; currently
home to one single family residence and a farm; did a zoning analysis;
would have a proposed zoning ER-2; that is what is adjacent;
considered an appropriate land use for the area; showed an on-site
development plan; there are 10 lots that have been identified; Rocky
Point Court would come into the development; this area is more rural;
will have multi-use paths on both sides of the street; natural
environment is being requested to be preserved; we have right-of-way
along Headley Park; our engineer has been involved quite a bit to
ensure the City's infrastructure needs have been met; developer
would ensure Shull Road is maintained; did a cost analysis; identified
several types; showed an annual total cost of $12,365; there are two
street lights being proposed; considered park usage, trail
maintenance, police service calls, street sweeping, snow and ice
removal and storm water maintenance; estimated value of the homes
will be $800-950K in value; annual net revenue is around $10,910
upon its completion after the estimated annual cost is taken; were
advised legally to have 7 mill as a standard; may see something in the
future; there is pre-annexation agreement before Council tonight;
Dugger said he does not have anything to add; Schnetzer asked if the
7 mill is a fixed rate; Jones said the new community authority that
applies this investment; they can determine if it were to end; they
determine new fees provided; Schnetzer clarified the question;
understands annual cost estimate is now; likely to go up with inflation;
Jones said it is a flat charge based upon the evaluation; you are
correct, the more values, the more revenue; Leeseberg asked for
clarification on access to the road; Larry Canini said that is the existing
driveway that serves the property; comes in and goes to the barn; is
one driveway; that will then be used for access to lot 10; current home
will come down; it is contaminated with asbestos; the cul-de-sac going
in is not standard, is oblong; did a radius check for fire equipment; lots
1-9 will be services on that road; will be 50' setbacks; most are over an
acre; will have a good amount of land; took into account the floodplain;
wanted a walkout basement for some of these homes with that light
coming in; believes the house price point is conservative; Leeseberg
asked about the stormwater basin; Canini said have not gotten to that
detail yet; probably can create a bladder in lot 10 that can collect;
Priestas said would have to be accounted for the overall site
depending; Larick said this checks all the boxes for what he would like
to see; Jones said we would need a New Community Authority Board
City of Gahanna Page 5
Committee of the Whole Meeting Minutes May 9, 2016
(NCA); a body is appointed by City Council; would create the
jurisdiction and be the creator; Glen Dugger said he is an NCA Board
member; appointed by a developer; allows the new community charter
to decide who gets to appoint those board members; when this new
community authority is created, all the members of the board will be
appointed by the City; the type of NCA will have a more broad
jurisdiction; not one developer driven; done so we can do this in other
places as we go through this process; Canini said an HOA, may
consider one resident of those new communities become part of that
board; depends on size and scope; this is small in nature; Leeseberg
asked about the curb and hill, asked if there was a concern with the
drive; Priestas said in this location, it is fine; better than Brookhouse
Lane; Canini said we looked at this in several different ways; trying to
save the house in the original plan; Metzbower asked if the NCA
would be City-wide; Jones said new residential developments would
become part of it; some property the City owns currently would
become part of the NCA; Metzbower confirmed it is not just this
development; Jones said commercial properties that could become a
part of it in the future; would need to negotiate with the owner; Mayor
Kneeland said if there is not additonal revenue we would not be
supportive; annexing residential is a loss up front generally;
annexations will be part of that NCA; Jones said they have not
petitioned to create the NCA yet; Larick said the agreement that is on
here, asked if the NCA is a requirement or mandate; Jones said
mandate that the owner petition for the creation; any future owners
would be required to petition it; Mayor Kneeland said it is required by
us if they want to annex; said Mr. Canini has agreed to enter into the
NCA; Larick asked if it is mandatory that the NCA moves forward;
Jones said yes; it is the developers commitment; the City has the
authority to create it; owner would petition to be a part of it; Angelou
asked what other cities have these; Jones said Dublin, New Albany,
Westerville; Dugger said the law was changed in New Albany; the
NCA was the vehicle the New Albany Company used for the new high
school; was a way to add community facilities without a tax burden;
everything new in New Albany is part of the NCA; they were the most
aggressive and prominent user of the format; has worked reasonably
well; when New Albany started it was the 18th worst school district;
was a way to funnel money; Metzbower asked if the 7 mill was
standard; Canini said this was a set number and standard; would be
high on a commercial property; Jones said it is easy for us to
differentiate the property based on the uses; think the uses correlate;
from a development department standpoint, would not apply this to
commercial; Leeseberg asked about a TIF on this; Jones said we are
evaluating that; need additional items for that; Leeseberg asked if we
have looked at making this a private street; Canini said they offered
that service; was determined that in the best interest of future project,
would not offer that; Angelou asked about the curbs and gutters;
City of Gahanna Page 6
Committee of the Whole Meeting Minutes May 9, 2016
asked how stormwater will be; Canini said ditch system; if you drive
through in Jefferson Township you will see that system; typical to what
you see; that theme is in play in Harrison Pond along Brookhouse
Lane; that rural feel plays better than curbs, gutters and 30' setbacks;
Renner asked if a portion of Shull Road would be maintenance free;
Canini said will be annexing that in and have discussed with Priestas;
Dugger said the annexation law that was redone in 2000, included that
the City accepts responsibility for a segmented piece; the City accepts
that responsibility; development department negotiated so it would be
in an acceptable format; discussed with City Engineer what would
need done; not obligated to re-build the road with street-lights; it is
very specific as to what that needs; McGregor asked who will maintain
the center of the cul-de-sac; Canini said would be in the HOA; that
along with the island and modified cul-de-sac; Larick asked if that also
goes with water retention; Canini said yes, that is not an unusual
request anymore; most likely will manage this long-term; McGregor
asked if there was a path around; Jones said there is; Euton said we
would like wider trails regionally but this is a residential trail; Canini
said asphalt works for this area; Leeseberg confirmed we have water
and sewer in part of the annexation; Dugger said it would need
extended; McGregor asked if this was the indian mound; Dugger and
Canini confirmed it is north of the property; is a dedicated historical
area.
RECOMMENDATION: Regular Agenda.
ITEMS FROM THE DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION
1. Wine Guy Service Proposal
ORD-0055-2016
Euton said the owner of the Wine Guy has recently changed; owner
has officially inquired about using the pergola at Creekside for service
to the business; has been discussed for a number of years with
previous owner; discussed with staff and Mayor Kneeland, there have
been no objections; have put together a draft service agreement; our
law department has it now to work into our format and new language;
would propose to substitute the final agreement as we are still working
on final terms; wanted the opportunity to talk with Council about
concerns and conditions there may be to get a final agreement;
agreement is for a 3 year base and 1 year renewal after that; is a
revenue sharing agreement; will cap at 12%; agreement is only on
food sales; advised against alcohol sales by City Attorney; the pergola
would always be open to citizens and would not be an exclusive use
premises for the Wine Guy; would just allow them the ability to service
folks in that area; looking at the opportunity; possibly would open up
City of Gahanna Page 7
Committee of the Whole Meeting Minutes May 9, 2016
visitation to Creekside; have had a few questions from Council;
located with that 20'x20' pergola; liquor control requires it be a
continuation of his premises; the liquor control map would show the
walkway to the pergola part of liquor map; would not be able to fill with
tables and planters; would be written into the lease that the premise
may be owned by the Wine Guy per liquor permit, it would stay as is
today; want the pergola back for the Blues and Jazz Festival; may
modify the lease to show that the City can use the pergola for City
events as needed; was also asked about another restaurant serving in
the area; said in terms of alcohol, no one else could serve; no one has
approached them in that way as of today; Council inquired about how
you would know that the area can be used by the public; suggested a
sign or something of that nature; believes the owner has the best
intention; asking consideration for the lease agreement; feels it is a
good thing for that area; would add a nice element to Creekside;
Leeseberg concerned with liquor control; want to make sure legal is
comfortable; Ewald said the City cannot profit from the sale of alcohol;
Leeseberg asked how we will track sales; Euton said the owner has a
plan; has a plan to develop a pergola menu and selection; we reserve
the right to look at audits or receipts; Leeseberg said possible
accounting nightmare; Euton said he does not see any concerns
there, would just monitor as needed; Larick asked about the
complexity; may not be a City issue; feels like a high risk issue
because of the intensity of liquor laws and enforcement; there is
discussion of the blockage around; a lot of complexity he is concerned
with; is it possible for someone to purchase and carry out unopened
and sit in one of our spaces; Ewald said as long as it remains
unopened; Euton said would be no different than his outdoor patio; do
not have any revenue sharing agreements with any business at
Creekside; this is new to us; the owner was not interested in doing a
square foot lease; does not know if it will be property; was concerned
about his investment and his agreement timeframe; Teal said believes
Larick is referring to the district; does not believe we have that without
a permit; Larick said that is what this is; we get into enforcement and
risks; Mayor Kneeland said same thing with the space rented outside
currently; Larick said very different as that is fenced off; Angelou said
will they be asking to serve folks as they sit there; Euton said yes;
McGregor asked if they can move the tables there; Euton said the
public does it all the time now; Larick said the entertainment district is
different; this is a singular park and facility; understands we cannot
carry open containers; asked if we can allow a sale to occur
unopened; opens that up to Local Cantina and Barrell and Boar;
McGregor said they cannot sell carryout without a specific permit;
Angelou said Wine Guy has that permit; Larick said the context of
Creekside as an area, it is much simpler; talking about a singular area;
Euton said we would have to provide the enforcement and regulation if
we provided such a permit; would lose control in that scenario; Larick
City of Gahanna Page 8
Committee of the Whole Meeting Minutes May 9, 2016
said that would be part of a facility; Leeseberg said we have a cost
and labor with no revenue; Larick said believes there is a better way;
we have an area of town we want more people to be in; McGregor
asked if the path would have to be marked; Euton said no, but he has
to control it; no different than what there is there today; an employee
would have a cash register there with employees and coolers in the
pergola; it would be staffed and different than there is today;
McGregor said the average person would not feel welcome there;
even if the sign says they are; Larick said there is an equity concern;
one business with the best visibility that is cut off and does not have
this option; does not believe from a governmental standpoint we
should put someone at a disadvantage; something that is a concern;
Larick said gets having more activity; Leeseberg asked Chief Murphy
his thoughts; Chief Murphy said it is a liquor control issue; right now
we are not having any issues; up to the liquor control owner; we can
support it, there will be some challenges; does not see this as a
negative thing from a control perspective; is the liquor of the Wine Guy
and they are the ones selling; Angelou confirmed the outside patio
space is rented on a monthly basis; Jones said annual fee but
charged for 4 months of use; May through August possibly; Teal said it
depends business to business and is calculated afterwards for the
months of use; McGregor asked if they are not paying for it all year
why they do not have to move their stuff off; Jones said they have
rights; they're leasing it but only paying for a portion; have rights for
the easement; was negotiated that way in 2006; Renner said
interesting experiment; is a public area; want to make sure people will
not feel they cannot go to this public spot; when you read it, the owner
is discussing planters; another issue is what we want for Creekside;
trying to drive use down to Creekside; asked if this was the
experiment; possible to shorten the agreement; Euton suggested we
have the opportunity to define the agreement and bring in Mr. Shaffer;
Mayor Kneeland said he had to remind himself to create an
entertainment district there; shared the same concerns of the
complexity; when this will be really active is Friday and Saturday night;
not going to have families down there in its prime time; Angelou
suggested some type of trail; Leeseberg suggested we do this year at
no cost and then enter into the 3 year agreement afterwards; that is a
trial run; Council agreed to have the owner present next Committee
meeting; will not introduce at this time; Euton asked for further
concerns; Leeseberg said the delineation should be as little as
possible; and to see the controls and what they are and how they are
laid out.
RECOMMENDATION: Back to Committee 5/23/2016.

Euton said this is to divide the wall; around $9,200; Foundation has
approved use of some of the Alice Brooks funds that were left over;
have taken that through the Senior Advisory committee; they have
asked the City to match the other half; need a Motion Resolution to
move to another account; Larick asked if this made sense to use on

around $16K is leftover; is intended for senior center use.

ITEMS FROM THE DIRECTOR OF FINANCE
1. Establish a new Court Computerization Fund
ORD-0047-2016 TO AUTHORIZE THE DIRECTOR OF FINANCE TO ESTABLISH A
NEW COURT COMPUTERIZATION FUND FOR THE PURPOSE OF
DEPOSITING CASH PROCEEDS FROM CASES HEARD IN THE
MUNICIPAL MAYOR'S COURT.
Bury said the Clerk of Courts have established a new fee; under two
areas of the ORC; requires its own fund; Larick asked what the plan is;
Bury said will be used for court computerization; Teal said currently
they are paper based and looking to implement digital processes;
Larick confirmed the project has not been confirmed; Teal said there is
no project without funds; Amanda Parker is beginning to research;
there is no quote or RFP; there is a desire to move forward; Mayor
Kneeland said Magistrate wants to get things into a digital format;
thoughts are to get us to a point we have funds to use; there is no
project; thought we would be able to use the Court Computer Fund
originally; Larick said this continues to be a challenge for us; Angelou
said it sounds like the Magistrate is doing that, it just is not completed;
Mayor Kneeland said we can hold off until we have a project; but
whatever that is, it will change overtime; we need the fund; McGregor
asked if we can bring them both together; Mayor Kneeland said we
can pull it off the agenda and bring back when we have something in
the future; McGregor asked how many we average a year; Bury said
we will get that from Amanda Parker, Clerk of Courts; Ewald said more
than 200 a week; Angelou said 1613 year-to-date in an email from
Amanda; Leeseberg said 400/month; Mayor Kneeland said this was
the beginning of doing a project the magistrate would undertake;
Renner confirmed that regardless of the future use of the fund, we
need the fund; understands what Larick is asking and understands the
City of Gahanna Page 10
Committee of the Whole Meeting Minutes May 9, 2016
need for this; Teal said we pre-order the ticket envelope with the
pre-printed information so the officer is not writing on-scene; we are
due to order soon and we usually order years worth; we save a lot if
we print at once; if we change the fee structure; this will impact that;
we do not need to write a check today; but we have an opportunity to
get this in and save a few thousand in printing fees if we do not need
to print later; Larick asked for an outline of the project to be brought
forward at this time; is a basic step we tend to miss; Mayor Kneeland
said tries to bring business plans with everything; we could bring more
information with this; this one slipped through the cracks with him; will
take the hit for this; growing concerns for the volume of cases we
have; Larick said we have a quarter of a million dollars in a fund that is
not used; Mayor Kneeland said he asked the same thing; we will be
using that; Ewald suggested we table this to the next Committee
meeting; Renner said there will be an expenditure in a matter of
weeks; Teal said in this season we will be placing the order to receive
thousands of envelopes; delaying two weeks will not wreck us;
perhaps we introduce the item and we bring this back to Committee;
the legislative process will continue; Renner said that is what he was
looking for.
RECOMMENDATION: Introduce, Back to Committee on 5/23/2016.

EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS ORDINANCE; AND TO DECLARE AN
EMERGENCY.
Franey said we have been going through all of our codes; have come
to the Zoning Code weeks ago; have joined together a number of
departments; 1181 is the Wireless portion of that code; as we are
going through it we are accumulating requests for Wireless towers in
the City; would like those requests to go through the revised Code;
looking to put a moratorium to stop the noise to get this code change;
Ewald said would ask for a 145-day moratorium; Larick said this is a
discussion item; asked if the Ordinance will be coming; Franey asked
Ewald if this will take the same timeframe as other Ordinances; Ewald
said yes; Franey suggested first reading next Monday to get it on the
road; Larick said would be okay with waiving second and doing
emergency; Renner agreed; Angelou asked if this will go back in time
to those on our desks; Franey said it will stop those; Ewald said as
long as there is no pending action; Larick confirmed this will need to
be read by Council before Monday; Council agreed; asked that we
receive the language by end of day Thursday.
