She said that the City does provide residents with a recycling schedule and Medina City Council Meeting Minutes January 18, 2000 6 stickers to the place on their calendars. However, she thought that it would be appropriate to send these stickers to all residents rather than having them pick up the stickers at City Hall.

He said he would bring this issue to the Park Commission and the City Council at a later date. 8. Request to Extend Haug Plat Filing Date Ron Batty said he outlined several options in his memo, basically, the Haugs would like a six month extension for filing their plat. He said they had some problems receiving all of the necessary signatures and since it is now 2000, they would be required to pay their entire 2000 tax bill when the plat is filed. Therefore, they would like to file this plat in six months. Batty said if the Council approves this extension request, he would also like the title updated. Moved by Carolyn Smith, seconded by Jim Johnson, to approve a six month extension for filing of the Haug Plat with the condition that the title work be updated. Motion passed unanimously. 9. Rezoning Request from Rural Residential to Agricultural Preserve. Loren Kohnen said the City received a rezoning request from Wallace Marx at 2842 Parkview Drive to rezone his property from Rural Residential to Agricultural Preserve. He said this piece of property is 42 acres in size and meets all of the necessary criteria for Agricultural Preserve. After some discussion, the consensus of the City Council was to recommend approval. Ron Batty said that the City Council needs to direct staff to prepare an ordinance for rezoning and also direct staff to publish an official map designating this property as agricultural preserve. Moved by Jim Johnson, seconded by John Hamilton, to direct staff to prepare a rezoning ordinance for approval at the February 15, 2000 City Council meeting. Motion passed unanimously. Moved by John Hamilton, seconded by Phil Zietlow, to direct staff to publish an official map designating this property as Agricultural Preserve for approval at the February 15, 2000 City Council meeting.
