As indicated in 23 the minutes of the October 21, 1986 Planning Commission hearing on 24 proposed signage for the establishment, the City Manager reiterated 25 that he had not been in attendance, but rather the Public Works 26 Department Director had given the staff report on the signage request. 27 The Manager said what he had perceived from hearing all sides of the 28 question was that members of the Planning Commission, the Dairy Queen 29 owner, Al Plaisted, and Mr. Hamer was that "evidently not everybody 30 functioned on the same wave length related to understanding that 31 meeting" because the Commissioners believe they were firm abou+- only two 32 signs being erected and Mr. Plaisted thought he was allowed three and 33 went ahead and put up all three when the facility was remodeled to match 34 the new design adopted for all Dairy Queen stores. A copy of the June 35 28 , 1987 , letter to Mr. Plaisted from Charles Anderson of the Blue Line 36 Construction Company, contractors for the project had been included in 37 the agenda packet and set forth the contractor' s understanding of the 38 events which led to the erection of three signs on the store. The 39 Commissioners had also been provided with copies of the pertinent �0 minutes of the October 21st meeting in their agenda packets.
