And, I don't know if you want to take further applications for the Library as the two incumbents whose terms are ending have served only partial terms, and would like to continue serving. Vice Mayor Van Deventer: I'd move at this time that we do not consider the two Library Board positions as their have not fulfilled one year, and so we would normally, if they want a motion on for the appointment of those people, we could bring that up.

Uh, lone did we have any standbys in case anybody does leave or anything uh, uh anyone that's participated before, a backup list? City Clerk: We do have, yes. Councilman Waters: We do? City Clerk: We do. Councilman Waters: I see. City Clerk: The individuals have indicated they wish to continue though. Councilman Waters: Well that's, that's fine and dandy, but in the event of there comes an opening, do we have uh a list with you at all for, that was approved by this City Council uh, of people who uh asked to serve before, but can be considered just in case? City Clerk: Yes. Councilman Waters: ...a vacancy does pop up? City Clerk: We do have. Councilman Waters: Then I have no objections of going on uh... Mayor Morgan: Uh, there's no motion on the floor. City Clerk: There is a motion, no second. Councilman Dalla: Second. Councilman Waters: To uh, go out with the regular commissions and leave the Library off, is that right? Mayor Morgan: Vote please. City Clerk: Carried by unanimous vote. Mayor Morgan: Uh, lone, could you uh change my vote on that land surplus uh, abstain? City Clerk: Abstain, yes. Mayor Morgan: I'd rather, 1 think I need to do that. I see no problem with it, but I didn't really get a clear answer from the City Attorney to say yes or no whether I should vote on it or not vote on it. But, I, I think 1 should abstain. I'd like to... Vice Mayor Van Deventer: We got, we got two more items. Councilman Waters: Oh yeah? Mayor Morgan: Next order of business. City Clerk: Mr. Mayor? MAYOR Mayor Morgan: Nothing. Book 67/Page 53 5/13/86 CITY COUNCIL Vice Mayor VanDeventer: Yes, under City Council, last week uh, they was uh, we had a very fine report, and I just wanted to clearify. I, I think what happened on that report, uh, I don't think everybody under, might have understood who actually did that report. I've that, that our uh P.R. man had did that report, and lid really like to clear that up, because it actually was the Planning Department. They did an excellent job on that and I, I think if anybody uh felt it was anybody but the Planning was incorrect. And I'd sure like to clear that up because I think they did an excellent job. And Mr. Post, I wanna...and Mr. Post... Councilman Waters: I was, I was aware of that already, but I... Vice Mayor Van Deventer: I wanna compliment you on that report.
