<br />. Claims City Council' members
<br />"conspired to deliberately and
<br />intentionally evade the (state)
<br />open meeting law" by holding
<br />closed sessions of two or three
<br />members at a time, to discuss the
<br />moratorium before enacting it.
<br />· Declares city staff members
<br />switched their stance on the pro-
<br />ject, after having issued a memo
<br />supporting the developer's request
<br />for a utility easement just three
<br />days before the March 22 City
<br />Council meeting, then replacing
<br />
<br />that memo with one suggesting
<br />the request be tabled. The council
<br />unanimously voted to table the
<br />easement request until April 26,
<br />and then adopted the moratorium. .
<br />On Monday, the City Council
<br />unanimously amended the morato-
<br />rium. The revisions limit the
<br />freeze to nine months, exempt
<br />interior or nonexpansion exterior
<br />construction and add details for a
<br />proposed study on how shopping
<br />center-based grocery stores affect
<br />surrounding residential neighbor-
<br />hoods.

<br />Science Museum does.
<br />Erickson is known for discover-
<br />ing the Science Musuem's massive
<br />Triceratops skeleton - one of
<br />only four mounted Triceratop fos-
<br />silized remains in the world.
<br />For the past seven years, he has
<br />been researching the plant and
<br />'animal life of the South Carolina
<br />coast during the Oligocene Epoch,
<br />a utile about 28 million years ago
<br />when the primitive, long-headed
<br />whales. swam offshore the
<br />Ca'roliJ:4as and giant crocodiles
<br />ruled their coastline estuaries.
<br />The whale will join two other

<br />
<br />ogists will be preoccupied this
<br />spring and summer }rying to
<br />move the museum's present col-
<br />lection, including several large,
<br />mounted dinosaur skeletons.
<br />The whale probably wilJ be
<br />mounted and prepared sometime
<br />next year. It like1Y wiJI be dis-
<br />played in the Collections Exhibit,
<br />a special section for exhibits that
<br />don't neatly fit into the museum's
<br />other categories, like its planned
<br />Mississippi River Gallery or larg-,
<br />er, Dinosaurs and Fossils Gallery.
<br />The original skeleton will stay
<br />with the Charleston Museum in
<br />storage for research. The museum
<br />is .planning on using plaster casts
<br />bemg made in Salt Lake City to
<br />mount its display, but doesn't
<br />expect to do so before Minnesota's
<br />museum does, Sanders said..
