<br />e <br /> <br />Mr. Delay opposed the amendment to the motion. He noted support for <br />the City's position on this issue had been overwhelming in his ward. <br />He made reference to what he tenned IIdistortedll information during the <br />campaign two years ago that might have convinced him to vote against <br />the issue if he had not been better informed. Third, he felt this <br />was an opportunity for Councilors to carry out what they believe to be <br />right. He said the task of an elected representative is not to be <br />popular, but to do the best job possible. He felt it encumbant upon <br />the Council to act in the most responsible manner. <br /> <br />Ms. Smith reiterated her personal support of the two bills; however, <br />she did feel it was the Council.s responsibility to uphold the wishes <br />of the total city and its citizens. <br /> <br />Vote was taken on the amendment to the motion which failed with <br />Smith and Obie voting aye; all other Councilors present voting <br />no. <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />Vote was taken on the main motion which carried with all Coun- <br />cilors present voting aye, except Mr. Obie voting no. <br /> <br />C.

Calling Public Hearing Re: Easement Vacation <br /> <br />Manager noted this item had been on the Council's agenda March 28. <br />However, it was delayed because Council, on April 9, has to consider <br />a variance request for the same property. It was felt prudent that <br />until action was taken on the variance reque~t, the easement should <br />not be considered. <br /> <br />C.B. 1863--Calling public hearing May 9, 1979, re: Easement vacation <br />located at southeast corner of West 18th Avenue and Washington <br />Street (A & X, Inc.)
