Mr. Long , I . !said that any other judgments involving the same type of error would be final. This iaction would apply only to this case. ~ (Councilman McDonald said he would vote against suspending action on the petition, mainly because the Council had faced similar decisions before and had been upheld in the courts. He felt delaying action on the applicant's request would only mean that he had to be put off again for many months. , 1 Vote was taken on the motjon as stated.

He said the type of opinion which could be expected from the appeal of Judge Spencer's decision would be that the Council did not follow its own ordinances. He felt in light of that the issue before the Council should be whether it was in favor of adopting findings and an ordinance effecting the rezoning. Council President Williams said the question before the Council then was whether it wished to approve action taken at committee - to continue with the appeal of Judge Spencer~s de- cision and delay any action on the rezoning until a decision on the appeal was recelved. 4It Mrs. Campbell moved seconded by Mrs. Beal that committee act~o~ be approved and that staff proceed with the appeal of Judge Spencer's oplnlon and that no, further action be taken on the rezoning of the Earl Green property on Cen- tennial Boulevard until a decision was received on the appeal. At the request of Councilman Wood, Assistant City Attorney Stan Long reviewed his opinion stated in committee (see committee minutes above). Vote was taken on,the motion as stated.
