27 Granger and Henderson voting no, Councilman Rosselli being noted absent. Councilman Granger moved to adopt RESOLUTION N0, 5344 ENDORSING AMENDMENTS TO THE COLLIER-UNRUH ACT TO PROVIDE FOR, AMONG OTHER AMENDMENTS, THE ELIMINATION OF THE MATCHING FUND REQUIREMENTS, seconded by Councilman Keckley. Report of the Legislative Committee previously presented to Council recommended Council's adoption of this Resolution in order to eliminate the financial hard- ship imposed on some cities, as well as for the simplification of an extremely cumbersome and expensive administrative process. Committee further reported League of California Cities seeking support to amend this program in this like manner throughout the State. Motion carried on roll call vote, Councilman Rosselli being noted absent. Appeal of Salvator Dovico, 2011 Poplar Avenue, from the order by Department of Public Works to remove an abandoned driveway entrance at his residence within 30 days, and a concrete curb be constructed, presented for consideration con- tinued from last week's agenda at request of Councilman Granger. Mr. Dovico, 2011 Poplar Avenue, again stated he would abide by Council's decision but would appreciate con- sideration of his request. Councilman Keckley moved that appeal be denied, seconded by Councilman Hender- son. Councilman Keckley advised his motion for denial was based on his own inspection of these premises and other evidences of lack of compliance to Zoning Ordinance, such as lack of a garage indicating improvements were made to the property which left the abandoned driveway entrance. Mayor Herkner asked whether home was in same condition when purchased by Mr. Dovico. Mr. Dovico advised he had purchased the home four years ago in present conditions, and would make improvements if requested to do so, but didn't feel situation a menace or necessary. Motion to deny carried on roll call vote, Councilman Rosselli being noted absent. (MINUTE ORDER #67-69) Appointments to the Park & Recreation Commission, Mayor Herkner asked for Council's usual straw balloting procedure on the four candidates submitted for these vacancies: Robert Whitmore, Dixon Arnett, Alice McCullough and James S. Williams. Councilman Granger asked if Robert Whitmore had been contacted on his willing- ness to serve another term and was advised by City Manager he had indicated he would like to do so. City Manager also reported that Mr. Whitmore had been selected as the new Chairman of the Park & Recreation Commission, subject to reappointment. Councilman Granger urged that Council consider Mr. Whitmore's reappointment to this Commission. Councilman Henderson recommended future eligible incumbent be given courtesy of being nominated by a member of the Council, as a part of the appointment procedure schedule. Mayor Herkner announced Robert `- Whitmore, Dixon Arnett and James S. Williams had all received majority votes of Council on straw ballot. (Memo 4/18/67)
