JM. Campbele
Mayor

3 Rezoning

T would Like it to be known that I am in complete disagreement with the
“Council's decision to withhold zoning until the burning question is
settied. I'm very sonny that I was not present at the meeting because I
would have vigorously opposed it.

Zoning must be completely separated from burning. There 4s no connection
between the two. One - the right to apply for zoning 4 a right of every
Andividuak. It is the right and duty of every Council member to consider
each zoning on its merits and to make a decision. Once that decision db
made, then the clearing and burning is a Separate decision and majority
opinion must be accepted.

In ak my years in office, this has been the most divisive subject on the
agenda. Bitterness and personalities have entered into 4t, destroying the
businesslike manner we always followed to canny out City business.

Ake of us have our hang-ups and many times I have been opposed to Councié
decisions. But once they were made I accepted them and made sure that
decision was carried out. 1 have only used my power under Bile 180, twice
an 10 years. I have always had enough respect for the members of Council
to abide by their decisions.

T now urge you to reconsider your decision and get back to the business
0f managing the City.

I'm fully aware that two members of the Council ane violently opposed to
burning and I respect their stand. But they too must respect the stand
of others. ALL of us have said, at one time or another, that we had the
night to change our minds. This is the democratic process and must be
adhered to.

PATA pate Seren!

Present your point of view but be totally prepared to accept majority opiirton.
T§ we do not accept this as our way of Life, the City Will. suffer and we
ame not capable of governing.
