Discussion.
Deputy Mayor Krebs stated, "So, what we're saying is we can approve this that the
Planning and Zoning [Board/Local Planning Agency] had wanted to do something about
that setback and we are not going to do that, but we are going to charge how much money
for him to come back and do it anyway Mr. Stevenson said, "It would be Staff's
recommendation that they come back for a formal Variance from that setback."
Assistant Attorney Latorre suggested, "What is coming before you tonight is a simple
Rezoning, and setback is not really within the purview of that request."
Additionally, Mr. Stevenson remarked, "If you wanted to direct that be done at no cost,
that's certainly an option you have."
Mayor Bush noted, "At the Second Reading, if this Ordinance in fact is approved, and if
at the Second Reading is Approved, I think a Motion, if you want to make a Motion to

Mayor Bush closed the "Public Input" portion of the Agenda Item.
Discussion ensued on weekends, and another Reading to make the applicable changes.
Mr. Stevenson commented on the distance issue and stated, "My concern is that if we put
nothing there, I can advertise ten (10) miles away and have signs all the way in
between. The intent was to allow one (1) street on the major roadways to get them back
into the area but like I said, we can certainly flesh that out; but the intent was to take it
to common property which really, in my mind, would become property of common
entrance, whether it was a gated community or a Homeowner's Association or not; so,
that they do get to the main thoroughfare and then they have a half mile to work from
there to get people in..." Mayor Bush asked, "...Don't you think that the Ordinance
should kind of reflect what you just said Mr. Stevenson responded, "I would agree
with you."
Deputy Mayor Krebs suggested, "Can we bring it back to a Third [Reading]
Assistant Attorney Latorre said, "The appropriate thing would be to Table it, so we would
preserve the advertising, and we can work that out and then bring it back at the next

back for your consideration at a future Meeting."
Continuing, Manager Smith explained, "I would have liked to have finished the entire
Goal Setting process and the Strategic Plan because my desire would be, and we're close
but my desire would be to utilize those Goals that were established by the Commission;
develop a Strategic Plan and then have that be, at least the basis for the Evaluation, the
metrics to be used to evaluate the performance which would be or is the Manager and
the Staff working towards and meeting the objectives to get to the Goals that the
Commission set. So, that will be in a nutshell the recommendation that I will be bringing
back."
Commissioner Bonner and Commissioner McGinnis said, "Good."
Deputy Mayor Krebs said to Manager Smith, "Weren't you having something going for
everybody, not just you; an Evaluation process for the City." Manager Smith responded,
"Yes." Deputy Mayor Krebs added, "I look forward to that."
Mayor Bush pointed out, "Our previous City Manager's Evaluations were never done
when they were supposed to be..." Deputy Mayor Krebs added, "...They were never
done." Continuing, Mayor Bush suggested, "I would say they must be done annually
and I think they must be done according to the same Policy that we evaluate every other
City employee the timing, it is based upon your Appointment, and so many I think it
is a year." Manager Smith said, "I think it would be more important to look at the actual
wording in the Contract." Further comments.
