that the suggested “changes
seem like commonsense
restrictions.” She thinks that
spacing or density of VRs
might be something to take
into consideration.
Councilor Richard
Esterman agreed the VR
approval should not be trans-
ferable with the sale of the
property. He supports the
idea of caps on the maximum
number of VRs allowed in
residential zones. He also
supports required liability
insurance for VR owners.
Councilor Nancy Connolly
believes that quality of life
and maintaining the integ-
rity of the community is key.
She supports the Planning
Commission recommenda-
tions. She particularly thinks
that adequate onsite parking
at VRs is an issue.
Community Development
director Patrick Davenport
cautioned the Council when
considering duration and
occupancy limits, to create
reasonable requirements the
City can enforce.
Mayor Chuck Ryan voiced
concern regarding spacing of
VRs, fearing a concentration
of VRs in any one particu-
lar neighborhood. He shares
Connolly’s concern regarding
parking. He also stressed the
importance of being certain
that all legal issues are clearly
and completely addressed
to avoid future problems or
lawsuits.
Now that Council has
voiced its opinions on the
Planning Commission recom-
mendations regarding VRs,
the staff will draft VR text
amendments to be reviewed
by the Council at another
workshop prior to a formal
text amendment adoption.
at each of the schools about
their fundraiser for the Sisters
Cold Weather Shelter.
For several weeks, the
girls had been discussing
what it means to be helpful
and of service. At the sug-
gestion of co-leader Jolene
Havern, shelter volunteer
Linda Wolff attended one of
their meetings to describe for
the girls what the shelter does,
who it serves, what the needs
are, and to answer any ques-
tions. She described for them
a typical night at the shelter.
The girls were happy to learn
there are people who volun-
teer to provide housing for
shelter guests’ pets.
The girls were inspired to
sponsor the drive to help the
shelter.

According to co-leader
Regan Roberts, “Girl Scouts
is all about helping others
and making the world a better
place. When the girls decided
to help the shelter, it provided
them with a purpose and way
to be of service.”

This is the third year for
the girls as an active troop.
Roberts indicated this is a
perfect age for the girls to get
involved in this project.
“It’s wonderful. The girls
are right at that age when
they are starting to think of
others. They saw a problem
and decided to do something
about it.”
