Attach to Public Hearing Minutes 8-21-00 ,,;' _ ~., .. ~'!~ .. ~..~t `/~fi :_ ~L ~~12 d ,~s~f72?~?~l~?2 ~~ ~..-. To: Donna From: Bruce G. Rinker Gtate: August 21, 2000 Subject: Public Hearing on Legislation for Rezoning 'this i5 a memo to be read at the Public Hearing on the legislation for rezoning. Just so you know my inclination now is not to veto. I just think it's going to create more downside than I need to accomplish, but this memo is intended to give people some food for thought and I am going to try to hit a few birds with a stone. Please reference the particular legislation for the rezoning of the Vllage lands, whatever that is, specifically. I am asking that this Memorandum be read into the record of the public hearing on Ordinance 2000-16 which has been proposed as a ballot matter for Village residents to vote upon. For the reasons stated below, I am requesting that Council refrain at this time from enacting the legislation. I do not believe it has been adequately discussed, nor appropriately discussed as a matter of procedure. The procedure to which I speak is not a matter of raising formality over substance; on the contrary, I am disappointed that not enough people truly evaluated the proposal for the purpose of presenting it to the voters, and that not enough people saw fit to consider that it should have been rerouted away from the ballot at this time-•or at least better developed far the ballot. ~_. *** ,;
