SIXTEEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday. July 19, 19S7 City Council Defers Action On Three Items at Meeting The city council last night de ferred action on ordinances establishing revised business li cense fees, and calling for pub lic hearings on a proposed sub division ordinance and on a re quest for a change of zone. Action on the proposed busi ness license ordinance was defer red until the next regular coun cil meeting because it had not been publicized sufficiently Mayer John Snider recommend ed no action be taken until after the proposed ordinance was stu died and understood thoroughly by the council because of its "far-reaching effects." Questions Raised Ray O. DeMarrs. 708 West Seond St., raised several ques tions concerning the proposed business license, including its legality. He questioned the legal ity on the grounds that if the business license is a special tax, it shoulud be earmarked' for a specific purpose rather than going into the general fund. Mayor Snider asked DeMarrs to submit a list of questions and obiections to the council. Briefs also were requested from those who have objections to the proposed subdivision or dinance. Action calling for public hearing on the ordinance was deferred so the council would have time to more thor oughly study the ordinance, and objections to it. Ordinance Too Broad Mrs. Jeanette Marshall, attor ney representing Henry Padg- ham, 2707 Springbrook rd., said he believed the proposed ordin ance was too broad, and ques tioned some of the terminology. She asked thaf a hearing on the ordinance be deferred so it could be studied more thoroughly. The ordinance was developed by the city in cooperation with Hahn, Wise and associates. Red wood City, Calif., planning con sultants. It was recommended to the council by the city planning commission after a public hear ing. Action on a resolution calling for a public hearing on a re quest for a change of zone of property from single family to limited commercial along Crater Lake ave. and Spring st. was de ferred when Mayor Snider voted in favor of deferring action. The mayor broke a 4-4 dead lock. He voted to defer action, he said, to allow further study. Request Is Denied The council denied a request for an extra width driveway and sidewalk relocation on Myrtle st. at East Main st. Developers oi a proposed doctor's clinic re quested they be permitted to in stall a parking strip on Myrtle st. giving the city an easement for a sidewalk which wouuld be relocated on the clinic's prop erty. The request was defeated 3 to 3 after the council voted, also 3 to 3, to defeat a motion that action on the request be de ferred. The council authorized S72.50 from the park and swimming pool construction fund for in stallation of a fence on the swim ming pool deck to direct swim mers from the dressing rooms through one gateway to the pool. Darrell Huson, park director, re quested the fence so closer su pervision might be exercised in preventing glass containers from being carried into the pool area. Contract Awarded Rogue River Paving company was awarded a contract for pav ing Marie st. from Saling to Jackson st. The firm's bid was $9,190.10. The council also cre ated a Marie st. paving fund. An ordinance was adopted granting a set back from four feet to no feet on a side lot at 317 West Clark St. The set back was recommended by the plan ning commission. Three funds were discontinued, and balances were transferred into the general fund. They are the library construction fund, S39.59: trunk sewer fund, S3. 13; and the consolidated improve ment bond fund, $150. The finance officer recom mended discontinuance of the funds because they have ceased to serve a useful purpose. Plot To Kill Nasser.
