He <br />stated that issue would be resolved under the proposed countermeasure and that no <br />ambiguities would then exist. The outside attorney for the City stated that before changing <br />any language regarding the conditional uses, there would have to be a full explanation of <br />what this would mean beyond the generic zoning language. He stated they would bring <br />back to Council more information on the land use and zoning issues. The City Attorney <br />stated also that if what is being proposed in the countermeasure will not hold up legally, <br />they would come up with a more refined countermeasure which would attempt to cover all <br />of Council's expressed issues. <br /> <br />The Vice Mayor asked questions about voter ratification and any changes that need be <br />made to the General Plan. Council gave suggestions on the rewording of key aspects of <br />the countermeasure for the City Attorney and staff to consider. Council stated that the <br />proposed initiative measure language would go on the ballot as is, and the City Attorney <br />reiterated the Council could not edit or modify this. He stated Council can continue to draft <br />its countermeasure, however Council stated its offer was still open to working with the <br />proponents on a shared measure. <br /> <br />MIS PierceNice Mayor Howard to extend the meeting to 11:15 p.m. The motion carried <br />by unanimous voice vote with two Council Members absent (Aguirre and Ira). <br /> <br />8.
