1 1 29 February 23, 1976 and the due dates must be spelled out, not just marked 'Penalty'. Mr. McLean reported on the meeting of the Planning and Zoning Board held on Feb- ruary 18, 1976. Mr. Gene Mobley, Building Inspector, had presented, several propo- sals that will be considered by the Planning and Zoning Board along with proposed changes in the Zoning Code. Mr. Wickett, who owns some land along County Road 'J' just West of Highway #49, had presented an idea for a warehouse and office building. The Board had recomm- ended he obtain a copy of Ordinance #56 and also the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. This parcel of land would have to be re -zoned for this use. Mr. Floyd Linnell had applied for a variance to keep bees on less than five acres of land. After some discussion, the Board asked that he apply for a special use permit and get the consent of his neighbors. This will be considered at the March meeting. The Planning and Zoning Board will be working on proposed revisions in the Zon- ing Ordinance, reworking the sign Ordinance to make it easier to handle and the Comprehensive Land Use Plan will be reviewed. Mr. McLean said that most of this work should be completed within the next 60 days. On a Police matter, Mr. McLean asked if the Council members will get a copy of the report? Mayor Bohjanen instructed Chief Myhre to make a copy of the report for all Council members. Mr. McLean asked Mayor Bohjanen if he had answered the report and Mayor Bohjanen said he had talked to the gentleman an Sunday, but has not had a chance to answer the report since he has just received it.

The Per- sonnel Commission had recommended the following; 1) fill the Deputy Clerk's position immediately; 2) this is to be a 30 day trial period on a semi -full time basis; 3) the Deputy is to be trained to handle all positions in the Clerk's office in order to take over in the absence of the Clerk; and 4) the Deputy Clerk is to report directly to the Clerk as her immediate supervisor.
