Study Meeting of February 6 due to lack of
COMMISSlONER ATTENDANCE
Mayor Martin noted a memo from City Manager regarding commissioner
attendance.
Councilman Pagliaro noticed that two commissioners had attended less
than the required amount of meetings during the past year. Under
Resolution 16-84, council should remove these persons from office.
Council discussion: most members felt the issue should be effective
for any dates missed after passing the above resolution. Resolution
16-84 was passed in March of 1984. Some concern about Civil Servi-ce
Commissioners who also appear at interviews, tests and hearings, in
addition to regular meetings; perhaps these other appearances should
count as meeting attendancel whether absences should be excused or
unexcused; a person is either present or absent, there should be no
excuses; council noted there are a number of people on waitlng lists
to serve on commissions.
Council determined: that those commissioners are st111 on commisslons
as of January 1,1985; to develop special rules for Civil Service
Commission; to send reminders to each commission chairman about
councilrs concerns about attendance.
Councilman Amstrup suggested further review at a Study Meeting.
Council concurred.

URGENCY ORDINANCE T295
RESTAURANT S
Pagli-aro ca11ed up for council review the Planning
approval of a dish antenna at L462 Burlingame Avenue and a
agency at Ramada Hote1.
TO AMEND URGENCY ORDINANCE 7294 MORATOR]UM Oi{
Mayor Martin noted council had received a letter from Dirk
attorney representing The Firehouse Restaurant, requesting
council on the moratorium.
Schennkan,
to address
Dirk Schennkan reviewed that his clients have leased space at l42O
Burlingame Avenue for the purpose of installing a barbeque restaurant
and have had a building permit pending for necessary interior work.
PIans were submitted in September but were deemed incomplete due to a
dispute over placement of the vent shaft. The dispute has been
settled and new drawings have been submitted. His client had no
warning that the city was consldering a moratorium on restaurants. He
has invested considerable time and money in thls venture. Schennkan
asked for a simple amendment to the moratorium to exclude from its
coverage anyone who had a building permit application pending at the
time of adoption. Since this is the only restaurant with application
pendlng, it would have negligible i-mpact on councilrs concerns.

Mayor Martin inquired of City Attorney how this could be done. City
Attorney responded the urgency ordinance could be amended.
Councilman Mangini moved to adopt
Urgency 0rdinance 1294. Seconded
Urgency 0rdinance L295 to amend
by Councilwoman Barton.
Councilman Pagliaro questioned what findlngs would constitute an
urgency. City Attorney replied the financial hardship imposed on this
businessl that it would only affect one business; and the lack of
equity existing because they had already applied for permits.
Motion carried unanimously by ro11 call vote.
RESTAURANT MORITORIUM KEEPING ROOM
Lori Rutter , owner of the Keeping Room on Broadway, reviewed her
problem with the moratorium. The business was originally a restaurant
but in 1981 they changed to catering only. Now she has found a buyer
who wishes to again use the business as a restaurant, but now with the
moratorium in effect it cannot be so1d. She requested council amend
the ordinance furt.her to a1low her sale of the restuarant.
In response to council questi-ons, City Planner and City Attorney
reviewed that it can no longer be considered a restaurant since it has
not been in use as a restaurant for over six months.
After lengthy discussion, council informed Rutter she would have to
take her concerns to the Planning Commission which is considering the
moratorium at its next meeting or request in writing for council t s
reconsideration at its next meeting.

understanding of Naskrentrs request. was he wanted to continue doing
his busi-ness for a limited amount of time. Naskrent should be asking
for a 30 day extension.
