<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />ruled Mr. Gleaves out of order as the public hearing was not being held at <br />this time. Mr. Gleaves said he was only questioning a point of order as <br />he felt Council could not have a second reading of an ordinance if it were <br />not complete at the time of the first reading. <br /> <br />Mr. Long said the question appears to be a factual one. Durin9 the intro- <br />duction of the topic at the April 10 meeting, the Manager indicated the <br />effective date needed to be put in, and date of April 11 was suggested. <br />Presumably that date was inserted in the copies Council had. If Council <br />felt concerned that it did not affirmatively act to authorize that inser- <br />tion in the ordinance, it could ratify at this time by a vote. <br /> <br />Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Bradley, to affirm <br />April 11, 1978, as effective date for the ordinance. <br /> <br />Mr. Bradley wondered if voting for the April 11 date without an emergency <br />clause was possible. Mr. Long said there was no question that an ordinance <br />of this type can be retrospective. Whether or not an ordinance is retro- <br />spective is one question. Whether it becomes a law now or in 30 days is <br />another question. An emergency clause speaks to such issues as a referen- <br />dum, but placing an effective date in the ordinance, as in this instance, <br />is unrelated. <br /> <br />Vote was taken on the motion which carried with all Councilors <br />present voting aye, except Mr. Williams voting no. <br /> <br />Manager noted that the Council now would be voting on the amended form of <br />C.B. 1592 as resulted from the April 10 meeting. It does not include an <br />emergency clause, it does include the April 11 effective date and some minor <br />grammatical changes. <br /> <br />Council Bill 1592--Regardinq charges for land development; adding Sections <br />7.275, 7.277, 7.279, 7.281, 7.283, and 7.285 to the <br />Code 1971; and providing for an effective date was read <br />by council bill number and title only, there being no <br />Councilor present requesting it read in full. <br /> <br />Mr. Obie said he had opposed this proposal a number of times, mainly re- <br />garding the high housing costs that would result. However, he did feel <br />that conceptually the bill had a great deal of merit, and based on the <br />discussion and amendments, he was going to support the motion. <br /> <br />Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Bradley, that the bill be <br />approved and be qiven final passage. Rollcall vote. All <br />Councilors present voting aye, except Williams and Smith <br />voting no, the bill was declared passed and numbered 18170. <br /> <br />Short recess was taken. <br /> <br />Manager noted Council Bill 1649 had had the first reading April 10. The <br />bill would in effect reduce assessments for residential property along <br />arterial streets from 28 feet to 20 feet. <br /> <br />4/24/78 - 11 <br /> <br />~u <br />
