Council Minutes of 5/16/2000 taken. He does not take them to be finger pointing. He takes his comments to be thoughtful and pointed and to make a statement that he agrees with 100% that there is an impairment to communication on Council. He will join with him to do his part from his perspective to see that we can improve that. The motion failed with four no votes and 3 yes votes. The veto stands. Mayor Musial asked to comment on Mr. Gareau's comments. Part of the reason for the veto does involve a matter that was brought to the attention of the committee. That deals with the association and the development where he lives. That's a voluntary association. The way the ordinance is written now, the individuals that don't belong to the organization in essence will not be able to have a garage sale if the association has two garage sales. He thinks that's wrong. He doesn't think that we should be giving that power to a voluntary organization. Secondly, with regard to the situation wherein garage sales are being run continuously during the course of the year, he would construe that as running a business within a residential district and would welcome legislation to look at that matter specifically and directly to solve that particular problem. With regazd to another item involving the garage sale ordinance, it seems to be wrong to be saddling the Director of Public Safety with monitoring and issuing permits those permits. Mr. Gareau responded by saying that several of the Mayor's comments were not made until he vetoed the ordinance. He would suggest that perhaps he and the Mayor engage in a little self-analysis and see if this is the way they want to do legislation in this town. Yes, the Mayor did bring some matters to his attention. Those issues were discussed in committee. Mr. Jenkins was there and was given an explanation for what was being done. The committee was aware of the problems that were posed, and they reasoned them over the course of an hour and a half and came to conclusion. He cannot offer that information to the Mayor in a phone call, that's something that can't be recreated. He respects the Mayor's opinion, but doesn't think we need to go back and revisit the reasons for veto. The veto stands, and the ordinance has failed. With the agenda being completed and there being no further business to come before Council, President Saringer adjourned the meeting at 10:15 p.m. i f ~~ T . .G+-lx.-t.~ ~ ~yyc-tt--- Barbara L.
