COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 14, 2002 Councilmember Reinert stated he had originally been opposed to the moratorium due to concerns about continuing momentum in the City. He noted the City recently approved the Target/Kohl's development and that there has been some damage to the City's reputation in the past. He stated after staff explained the necessity of the moratorium to protect the City and realize the vision of the Comprehensive Plan, he understood and supported the moratorium in order to get the necessary ordinances in place. Councilmember Reinert stated at the last City Council meeting he had voted against the first reading of the Ordinance, not because he opposed the moratorium, but because the process that would be followed by staff was not in place at that time. He stated during the last Council work session a very thoughtful process had been presented and he was confident that staff will keep on schedule. He stated he would now support the moratorium because he was fairly confident the Council not only has a way into the moratorium, but more importantly a way of out th oratorium.
