Resolution No. CC-2015-2: A resolution adopting an

and change the manner of selection of trustees; (ii) amends Article VII
regarding the issuance of indebtedness and obligations and limitations thereto;
and (iii) makes certain other non-material changes
Mayor John Bartley said the first
change adds a trustee to the board and a requirement for a medical official on
the board who’s a nonvoting member. The second change creates a nominating
committee created of equal number of people from the Council and hospital.
Another change gives City Council access to financial records, but not medical
or other records. The final change affects the hospital’s ability to borrow.

would not remove any of the Council’s authority.

a.
Receive
public comment regarding a Text Amendment to the Land Development Code, Section
23-170 Agriculture District (Report
pending Jan. 20, 2015 meeting of Land Development Committee)
Development Services Director
Paula Dennison resented the amendment that would eliminate surface mining from
Agriculture Districts inside city limits, but does not change nonsurface rights
or other Agriculture District uses.
Councilor Miguel Najera asked how
it affected those who already have mining. Dennison said it becomes a legally
nonconforming use of the land, and can continue under certain criteria.
Bartley asked if it addressed
types of mineral extraction. Dennison said it only affects surface-level mining
activity
Six people spoke in favor of the
amendment and two spoke against.
Noble asked for clarification for
current wells in Agriculture Districts.
Najera said there was already a
barrier in place to prevent mining without this amendment.
Bartley said he felt the
amendment was too broad and wanted something more specific to protect
residents.
City Attorney John Dorman
recommended buffering, nuisance and security ordinances in regard to this
amendment.
