The Mayor Pro Tempore called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. Mr. Flores introduced for consideration the Minutes of the Regular Meeting held July 28, 1975. Mr. Breihan requested they be amended to explain the necessity for the increase in administrative costs in the Chamber of Commerce contract for tourist development through expenditure of hotel room tax revenues. Mr. Dibrell moved the minutes be amended on page two, line 9 so as to read as follows: "allowed for administration from 10% to 15% due to the increase in inquiries as a result of the tourist development advertising campaign", and approved as amended. Mr. Arredondo seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. I The Minutes of the Special Meeting held August 4, 1975, were approved on motion of Mr. Hansen and second .of Mr. Breihan. I Mr. Flores introduced for consideration appointments to a special committee created for the purpose of assisting in the creation of a new zoning ordinance. Mr. Flores reminded the Council that a decision had been made to appoint five members to the Committee, and that the nominations were as follows: B.F. Davidson, Stanley Sissom, Art Ables, Bob Barton, Jr., Pete Rodriguez, Herbert DeLa Rosa, Shirley Wickersham, Dr. James Harrison.

Dr. Sissom, Mrs. Beth Morrissett and Mr. Richard Santellana, present to represent the Planning and Zoning Commission, stated that the Commission had begun preliminary work on the ordinance. Councilman Dibrell moved the Planning and Zoning Commission draft the ordinance and submit it to the special committee for review. Mr. Flores ruled the motion out of order. Mr. Davidson and Mr. Ables informed the Council that they possessed files and information on land use that would be of value to whomever drafted a zoning ordinance, and that said information would be available to the special committee and Planning and Zoning Commission. Mr. Davidson further stated that he felt the Commission, already busy with day-to-day zoning matters, would not be able to devote the necessary time to
