limit of $250.00 then the Mayor could participate. It was
ascertained that it was under the limit.

Drive-in theatre be grandfathered in, as the parking
requirements were too onerous for him.
Community Development Director Bruckner then advised the
rationale for the number of parking spaces needed.
Mayor Moses then advised that he is in the process of
opening an antique store and if he needed to abstain from
the proceedings. City Attorney advised that it was a
possible conflict of interest and that he should abstain.
