City Council Meeting Minutes September 20,2016 the process at this point. Council Member Hughson stated we spent a lot of time and just changed our ordinances so that PSA's and Zoning changes are heard together because the previous process, that was in our Code and what we have been following,is PSA goes to Planning and Zoning and then to Council. Then Zoning goes to Planning and Zoning Commission and zoning comes to us. She truly thinks that, even though we can split hairs about the application thing, she doesn't want this thing to start over completely,but we are not following what we've been doing and if there was an error that she thinks that there are many in our City that could testify to the fact that if processing a permit request for something relatively simple, and if Staff fails to do something, and it gets caught later y'all darn sure make that person go back and do all of those things. You don't say, "Oh gee,just kidding." You make them do it, and she thinks this should happen here. She said that if we were discussing the PDD that she has an amendment that she would sure like to make,but she doesn't think that it's right so she is not going to participate in it. Council Member Hughson and Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Prewitt remained for the following vote and then left the Council Chambers for the remainder of this item.

He thanked the Citizens for actively engaging in dialogue, and he appreciates those that kept their arguments both factual and within the bounds of civility.
