It is a place for developers to present their projects and then citizens <br /> can have meaningful dialogue. He thinks it is somewhat insulting that council <br /> feels adults do not know how to act at these neighborhood meetings, but he is <br /> in support of this amendment. <br /> There being no further comment, the Mayor closed the Public Hearing at <br /> 8:00pm <br /> City of San Marcos Page 8 <br />
