Commissioner Wachtler commented on the status of the gasoline situation and
the Mayor reported a letter from Commissioner Williams suggesting amendments that
a dealer not be required to enforce tho ordinance, that they fill the tank rather
than limit it to so many gallons or two or three dollars worth, and that commercial
vehicles and working commuters be 8iven a preference. Commissioner Wachtler
suggested an ordinance be prepared to eliminate the repponsibility of the station
operators for enforcement, that commercial vehicles and salesmen be given a
preference and that such people aa doctors and nurses not be bound by the ,
odd/even-day requirement. By consentlt was agreed that the City Attorney' should
prepare suoh an ordinance for presentation later after determing any amendments
that the County might make in their ordinance.
ITEM #4 deferred earlier in the meeting was resumed.
The City Attorney reported that the attorney for the owners of the book stores
had gone into court to attempt to obtain a writ of prohibition against the
Commission holding a public hearinR and that the judge had heard their case and
granted a writ of prohibition postponing any public hearings for 7 to 10 days.
After considerable discussion the Commission, by consent, set the public hearing
for 1:30 p.m., Maroh 4th. Considerable discussion then ensued regarding the
business operating without a license being issued to them butlttha attorney stated that
the City had received their money for the lioenses but had held up issuing until
settlement could be made either by the City Commission or in court. The City
Manager suggested to those present that if they desire to write a letter on the
matter that they should address such letters to him.
ITEM #15 - Citizens to be Heard.
Mr. G. H. "Duke" Schultz, 302 N. Mars Avenue, vequested approval of Item fl6
(Change of zone,- Ahlgrim property) when the publicI hearings are held. He was
informed that the property would be posted, that the public hearings would be
advertised in the newspaper and that notices of the hearinp, would be sent to all
those within 200 ft. of the property.
Mr. Schultz inquired regarding Item #9 (Emergency punchase of gasoline),
which he said came to about 52~ per gallon and Bsked why the City was subject to
taxes. He was informed that about l4~ per gallon in taxes would be:, refunded upon
the City making proper applications. Commissioner Wachtler commented how
fortunate the City was to be able to obtain this 0,000 gallons of gaSOline.

asked that the tennis courts not be removed. He was informed that tennis courts
were being placed in various locations throughout the City.
He nex~ suggested publicizing through notices included in utility billings for
