Ordinance Itevieva Committee - Mr. Marquardt reported that Ordinance Review met on November lOt . Of the 6 items on the agenda, two of them resulted in a finalization for presentation to Council for first reading. One of the items is for heavy equipment. These are vehicles over 80,000 pounds. 'It's a bonding procedure to protect our residential streets. This may or may not affect oil drillers. That was the impetus for it, but we found that that's not necessarily the limit to this concern. The other item is the finalization of the oil and gas well ordinance and Mr. Marquardt would recommend that all members of Council review this. There are some responsibilities that are put on the property owner where the oil well is being drilled. You might want to review this closely and discuss it at our December Caucus.
