Bob Dreher isn't interested. C. VALLEY BRANCH WATERSHED DISTRICT BOARD OF MANAGERS — Whittaker reported that only West Lakeland had considered a recommendation for a Manager to replace Al Horning. They had listed Gordon Moosbrugger and Dave Jones. The Council did not make a recommendation. D. KGAWITTER LEGAL BILL — Whittaker advised the Council that the City was unlikely to collect a fine or legal expenses if it continue to process the com— plaint against the Klawitters. The City Attorney had advised him that the court rarely imposes fines in Zoning violations and, since the violation had ceased, it is unlikely the court will grant legal expenses either. The Council instructed Whittaker to seek $100.00 from Klawitters to cover some of the expenses before dropping the complaint about the zoning violation. Both the City and Klawitter would avoid additional legal expenses this way. M/S/P Fraser/Mazzara to ask the Klawitters to pay $100.00 towards the legal expenses to avoid incurring further expenses for both parties. Vote 3-1 (Dunn voting Nay). E. CROCKER DAMAGES — Whittaker reported that the Crockers, in a letter to him dated July 16, had thanked the City for its concern over their garden.
