Regular City Council Meeting Monday, July 18, 2016 Page 10 Councilmember McGehee seconded the remarks of Councilmember Laliberte; and noted previous discussion for intent of this resolution to memorialize findings established on July l ltn For the benefit of the public and applicants, Mayor Roe clarified with City Attor- ney Gaughan that, while city code standards indicate areas for consideration in approval or denial of subdivision requests, city code also provides for some dis- cretion.
