He perceived that The Hitching Post would not be as noisy as anticipated. He 18 understood the residents' concerns, but also felt that the City must be fair and that the Commis- 19 sion needed to keep an objective view of the Plan. 20 Bergstrom commended Staff for the dedication in bringing the St. Anthony Shopping Center 21 Plan into place. He agreed with Melsha that the outlook is positive for the Plan. 22 Stille questioned the implementation of a movie theatre for Apache Plaza. He also suggested that 23 the Commission lean towards being proactive, rather than reactive, toward the development. 24 Momson commented that the company interested in implementing a movie theater has 25 withdrawn. However, another theater is considering the project. Morrison felt that plans should 26 be more evident over the winter. 27 28 Morrison mentioned that the City Council broadcasts its meetings through cable television. The 29 Council had suggested that the Planning Commission and the Parks Commission consider broad- 30 casting the meetings as•well.

Mornson stated that would be a suggestion to consider. 34
