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.
