Councilman Bury moved to approve Minutes of Regular Meeting of August 14, 1967, seconded by Councilman Rosselli and carried. City Manager asked that introduction of ordinance prohibiting parking on E1 Camino Real in the vicinity of Jefferson Avenue be deleted from this Agenda because of need for further Staff review (Memo 8/22/67) Continued PUBLIC HEARING, Weed Abatement Assessments, 1966-67, declared open. Mayor Herkner announced only the four Councilmen who were present at original hearing were eligible to vote on protests for which evidence had been received on August 7th (Councilmen Bury, Granger, Petersen, and Mayor Herkner) but that all Council members might participate in discussion and voting on protests heard at this continued public hearing. The aforementioned four Councilmen only would be able to vote on the Resolution confirming assessments, as having heard testimony on the entire pro- ceedings. Mayor Herkner further outlined guidelines for those present in order that all might be heard. Councilman Rosselli questioned City Attorney whether he could be considered eli- gible to participate on protests heard at previous public hearing inasmuch as he had reviewed all material and Minutes and felt Council had made changes in Code making such procedure allowable when a Council member absent. Assistant City Attorney advised of recent legal cases which had proved a review of a transcript of proceedings of a public hearing was necessary and a Council member, therefore, not qualified by simply reviewing material and Minutes. City Clerk confirmed pro- cedure which had been approved by Council, whereby a. transcript of a public hear- ing could be requested by any Council member who knew in advance of his impending absence for such proceedings. City Clerk outlined the four reports which had been submitted to Council analyzing the protests which had been received, and which protests had also been submitted to Council as follows: (1) Protests on which evidence had been received at the public hearing on August 7, 1967 (only 4 Councilmen present eligible to vote); (2) and (3) Protests received which had not been discussed at hearing of August 7th; (4) Supplemental report of further protests received since reports prepared _ for the Council, copies of which were submitted to Council prior to this meeting. Council requested consideration be given to protests at this time on which evi- dence had been taken August 7th (only four Councilmen present eligible to vote) as follows: Price Properties, Inc. 689 Veterans Boulevard Parcels 052-401-070 $456.40 ALC 26, e7 052-411-280 56.00
