Discussion:
City Administrator, Tom Ourada, discussed having the ability of an individual or developer to come to the City Council on a singular case by case basis for one particular matter or issue might be prudent. This will turn into an ordinance. Mayor, Dave Bauer, stated that this would give a little more flexibility or relaxation, and a chance to question something better. Tom stated that this would be a law that allows the City Council to alter the law and would be specific to various parts of the code.
