Nancy and Gerty,
I visited with Mike Harris and he understands that CF 96-979 should not appear on ne�ct week's agenda (#39 on this
week's agenda) because it is not approved to fortn by this office nor is there a statement as to its deficenoy on file
with the City Clerk. These are requirements of the administrative code and must be satisfied before an ordinance
can be introducted. AC 3.02 (3).
Please cail if you have any questions.
