City Council Meeting Minutes May 23, 2017
Issac Bingham,10971 South Cindy Circle, thanked Staff for their due diligence. This is a
complex issue. He believes that experts should be involved who have
experience in this issue. He is concerned with the unintended consequences which will
change the character of our neighborhoods. We need to figure out a way to limit our risk
but at the same time work with the silver living homes.
Vaughn Jackson, 2160 Pepperwood Drive, noted that the close proximity of a silver living
home will change the personality and values of his neighborhood. He does not know how
the federal government can justify placing these facilities in residential neighborhoods.

on last page title Findings, he found both paragraphs to be redundant. He would like to
see this revised.
