May 6, 1999 To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Chuck Whiting, City Administrator Re: May 10, 1999 City Council Meeting We have some straight forward business items on the agenda for Monday evening. Here's what we have: Consent Agenda: Item 6B - Setting Public Hearing Dates for Streets Policies: June 14 and 28 are the hearing dates. There really is no other times to set something if the Council wishes to have a discussion on the policies prior to the public hearings.

Item 9D - Resolution Accepting Public Improvements at the Theater Site: As part of the development agreement with the theater, the public improvements on the site must be approved by the city. Rick Jopke's memo outlines the status of those public improvements and some
