(1) Dianne Wassenich of the River Foundation stated she would be providing information at several Council meetings to let everyone know what they do. They are protesting the city's wastewater permit. She brought a visual aid to the meeting, a bucket of water from the river in front of her house and was concerned about the alarming condition. She stated the River Foundation was founded in 1985 and they have a $90,000 endowment fund in which they only spend the interest earned. (2) Jack Fairchild, President of the River Foundation, stated they have provided pertinent information to the Staff and Council. He stated the depth of the river has changed and the TNRCC stream model 10-15-3 criteria is the most that can be satisfied. The cost to upgrade to 5-5-2 would only be 10 or 15%. He stated the River Foundation has much information they can share with the Council. (3) Kyev Tatum stated he supports Item 8 on the agenda regarding the amendment to the Ethics Ordinance. Presently the Ordinance limits who can participate on boards and do business with the City, and this amendment would allow more to be able to participate and is in the best interest of the citizens. (4) Jane Hughson stated the Planning Commission, zoning Commission, Zoning Board of Adjustments and Appeals and the city Council needed more restrictions than other boards regarding the Ethics Ordinance. (5) Caroline Lee stated she is opposed to the Valley Street rezoning on this agenda, as the use would cause more noise, crime, the property value would decline, and there would be more vandelism. She stated a petition was filed with the city by 17.3% of the abutting property owners who stated their opposition to this zoning request. (6) Lou Fitzgerald and Mike Fitzgerald live on Jackman and want residential homes to be built in their quiet neighborhood. Mr. Guerra introduced for consideration a public hearing and approval of the City Council Budget Policy Statement to be used by the city Manager as direction during the preparation of the FY1994-1995 budget.
