Councilman Gareau commented that the procedural history for Ordinance 2006-122, which was turned dawn by a vote of 4 to 3, goes back over several BZD Committee meetings. He knows counsel has attended meetings on behalf of an interested client. Because there may be some continuing questions or concerns that perhaps could have been and were not ferreted out in the legislative process, he respectfully asked if a Council Member who voted in the majority would make a motion to reconsider. If so, the legislation could be put back into committee to try to work something out because there has been a lot of time invested on the part of Kim Wenger and others. Perhaps a compromise can be found. Mayor O'Grady echoed Councilman. Gareau's comments and asked that the legislation be reconsidered. He was not aware there were objections to the legislation. 13
