Mayor Pickar adjourned the meeting until 8:00 PM, the scheduled time for the public
hearing on recreational and commercial vehicles.
PUBLIC HEARING ON RECREATIONAL VEHICLES
Mayor Pickar opened the public hearing on recreational vehicles and stated that the
Council was looking for input from the citizens on how they would like Chapter 40
revised.
Mayor Pickar gave a brief background of Chapter 40. It was revised in February 1977
after the Planning Commission spent two years revising and updating it. A public
hearing was held on February 8, 1977 on Chapter 40. The Chapter was passed at that
meeting and controversy immediately arose. Mayor Pickar indicated that the Planning
Commission and City Council members were aware that there would be immediate contro-
versy but that the Chapter was passed as a whole with the idea to go back to problem
areas.
The Planning Commission again discussed the recreational and commercial vehicle laws
and gathered input from the citizens. It voted on the issue and was tied at 3 to 3.
