AD HOC COMMITTEE REPORTS
Mayor's
Report Mayor Nancolas said that some confusion has arisen between people thinking that the
bond is for a lateral irrigation issue that has already become an assessment on land and
the Police Station bond. He has been correcting the confusion when the subject arises.
� He also clarified the need for Special Use Permits in any area of the city for public
buildings and the zoning requirements and statutes that would prevent us from trying to
place a police station in a residential (r3) area. He also addressed the postage we are
paying for the flyers we sent with city mailings and suggested that we pay that bill at the
end of the bond expenses. It is easy to say no to a question of the bond. Please write a
letter of suppo�t to the Press Tribune and copy it to the Statesman by Monday January
24, 2000 at noon. m
Police Dept�
Bond ActivitiesChief Sobba reports large percentage of department is at work on some aspect of getting
word out to the public. He would like us to remember that he has not found a city that
has placed a police department in a residential area. Sam Bass will run a correction of
his article in the newspaper on Tuesday. He reported the wrong address in his first
issue.
