City Council Regular Meeting -12/06/04 Minutes - Page 25 roadway issues. Councilmember Ihlan questioned that rationale for both drafts of the resolution including a history of the development from 1988, opining that this history was not relevant and should be deleted up to the October 22, 2004 receipt of the petition. Mayor Klausing requested a response from the City Attorneys. City Attorney Scott Anderson noted that both drafts of the proposed resolution (one to deny and one to grant the petition) included a chronological history. Mr. Anderson noted their legal opinion that it would be important for any potential future court review of tonight's City Council action to be aware of how much consideration had bone into their decision-making process, and the amount of material that had been brought before the City Council at various times. Councilmember Ihlan spoke against the motion due to the numerous issues raised during her previous discussion; and again questioned the rationale and validity for including a history of what she opined were irrelevant dates in the "whereas" clauses of both drafted resolutions, rather than focusing on the petition itself. Mayor Klausing again thanked everyone for their comments; and reminded the audience that everyone had been heard and all points had been considered prior to the Council's determination. City Manager Beets, at the request of the Chair, called the roll for vote. Roll Call Ayes: Schroeder, Maschka and Klausing. Nays: Ihlan, Kough.
