Council Minutes of 8/20/96 . O'Grady. Mr. McKay commented that the ordinance was not brought to the Etoor of „~~. Council with the intention of degrading the Board of Zoning Appeals by their past performance or any member of the Board of Zorvng Appeals. It appears that seems to be the consensus. The reason this was brought up was because a number of Councilmen felt that the gravity of the granting of use variances should be addressed by elected officials rather than by appointed oicials. Mr. O'Grady agreed with Mr. McKay's and said there was a problem here with perception not with any reality of what was stated in that ordinance. The ordinance was not bringing into question any instance of abuse by any member of any board or commission of the city. It was not a question of trust or capability or intelligence. It was not a question of resident access to the appellate process or Council's agreeing or disagreeing with any decision of the board or commission. It was simply an effort by Council to live up to Council's responsibility to the citizens of this community to insure that the authority to make any changes rests with elected officials who are answerable to the citizens of the city. He expressed his appreciation and thanked the people who do so well and volunteer their time and serve our city on the boards and commissions. The motion passed unanimously.
