416 Councilman Rosselli stated his favoring introduction of ordinance as presented because of public interest shown and because it contained a degree of control for massive earth movements but also contained least amount of liability. Councilman Henderson asked for assurance hillside areas within the City not subject to mas- sive earth movements without some kind of ordinance. City Manager advised he felt this could be adequately controlled without ordinance proposed. Councilman Rosselli moved to introduce Grading Ordinance. Motion lost for lack of a second. Councilman Henderson moved to introduce Grading Ordinance if minimum of earth movement changed from 1,000 cu. yds. to 500 cu. yds. No second received. Councilman Keckley moved to refer ordinance back to Staff for inclusion of a sliding scale for earth movement with proportionate requirements, beginning with 300 cu. yds. to 500 cu. yards, and graduating scales thereafter to perhaps 1200 or 1500 cu. yds, with more restrictions applicable, and report made to Council in sixty days, (March 6th) seconded by Councilman Bury.
