- A vote was taken on the motion, which carried with all Councilors present voting aye, except Obie and Williams voting no. Mr. Obie explained his "no" vote. He felt the arguments made to rein- state the position were very valid. However, he felt Mr. Bradley's intent to be irresponsible in not caring how the budget may be affected. He felt Council had taken a position of changing long months of work by the Budget Committee and felt it could have been handled better. Mr. Lieuallen requested information as to the Parks Maintenance posi- tions. He had ridden his bicycle through the park and felt it was neces- sary and responsible for the City to maintain and keep the parks in good condition. Manager said there was not sufficient information from the Parks Department to present to Council at this time. The option for acting on that will be at the hearing held June 26. III. Transfers of Appropriations--Memo and resolutions distributed. Manager said this does not increase the budget, but is readjusting items in the present budget using various accounts that have not been expended. He noted in Resolution 2923, the most important item was authorization for the remodeling of City Hall I. Res.

Mr. Bradley moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, to adopt the resolu- tion. Roll call vote. Motion carried unanimously. IV. Code Amendment: Weed and Grass Control--Ordinance distributed. Manager said the new ordinance was directed to controlling one major area of concern, that being obnoxious vegetation growing on developed and undeveloped lots. Under the present code, the program is directed mainly to undeveloped lots from June 15 to September 30. Major concern is increasing about the many improved properties and their affect on adja- cent property. The ordinance is directed to allowing year-round enforce- ment of the same standards on developed lots but retaining the seasonal limits for undeveloped lots. The City can require front yards to be cut within a certain height (ten inches). It would be administered by HCC, Housing Inspectors. Paul Osborn and Ray Willard were available to answer questions. e 5/31/78--5 '+05
