Councilman Britschgi moved, seconded by Councilman Fletcher and unanimously carried, that matter be referred to the City Manager. Application for amendment of ordinance providing for change of easement in the Ross Chamberlain, Ltd. property i.as submitted by Mr. Chamberlain. City Attorney McC -thy stated that evidently a misunderstanding emisted be- tween Mr. Chamberlain or Mr. McDougall, his representive, and Mr. Mead former City Manager, over some of the provisions of the 6th paragraph of ordinance. Furthermore, Mr. McCarthy was under the impression that Ross Chamberlain, Ltd. was a corporation, whereas he learned after the ordinance was passed, that the organization t,,Ps a limited pertnership. He stated, therefore, that he had prepared an amendment to the ordinance to correct the designation of licensee or grantor of the easement to properly reflect that the name of the licensee is the R. H. Chamberlain, Ltd. partnership. He stated further that it had been submitted to Mr. Chamberlain, and he not: wished to address the Council regarding some of its provisions, which City Attorney McCarthy reed to the Council. Mr. Chamberlain stated that if ordinance was massed as set forth, it would cloud title to his property.

He expressed doubt as to whether the drill track ;.;:.s a public matter unless the city .dere willing to operate and con- struct it. Mayor Hilton stated that in previous discussions, he understood that the City was to pay hOlf the expense.
