IVIs. McGehee provided her historical perspective on the Twin bakes Redevelopment Area and issues associated with it, for the benefit of City Manager Malinen's brief tenure with the City, and taxpayer mon- ies spent to-date during the ensuing legal process. Ms. McCJehee questioned the process used by the Council majority during the proc- ess, especially some actions when there was pending litigation. Ms. Mc(sehee opined that the City Council needed to pay careful at- tention when making land use decisions; and that consideration of de- cisions and consequences for using taxpayer monies were not taken lightly; and further opined that she hoped the City Council took into consideration those past lessons when reviewing several of tonight's land use issues. 1~rt ueler, 2201 Ac®rn ®a Mr. Mueller asked the City Council's consideration of voting on his land use item, Agenda Item 12.c entitled, "Consider Approving Final Plat and Public Improvement Contract for ®ak Acres (Art Mueller) at 2201 Acorn Road," noting the recent petition sent to the Environ- mental Quality Board (EQB) by adjoining property owners. City Manager Malinen advised that staff and the City Attorney had just been provided information that the EQB had received a petition relative to his subdivision proposal, which may preclude Council ac- tion tonight pending an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW).
