It i1 passed by a 5 to 2 vote. ;I ' Briefly, this Bill reduced the Planning and Zoning membership from 113 to 12, and substituted the "Director of Planning of the City of Jefferson or his designated respresentative in lieu of the present's "City Engineer or similar City Official". � As acting Mayor in the absence of Mayor George Hartsfield, and according to Section 2-83 of the current City code of laws, I am � ,, vetoingg this Bill ' for the following reasons: I� (1) Our present zoning ordinance Section 2-197 quotes 1 verbatum from the State Statute Section 89.320 "City Engineer or similar City Official". I see �1 no valid reason or advantage in changing this representative. (2) In my opinion, the Director of Planning would be placed in an uncomfortable position and possibly be exposed to undue pressures due to interpreting and administering the Planning & Zoning ordinance on a daily basis, making recommendations to the I Planning and Zoning Commission, and then voting on his own recommendations. In short, it would be "Judge Judge and Jury situation, and (3) I feel the total Planning and Zoning Membership should i) remain at thirteen 'instead of twelve to facilitate obtaining a quorem, as seven out of thAtteen is easier toil ! obtain than seven out of twelve. II I would recommend hhatrour present fAnnmigg and Zoning Ordinance 11 be amended, eliminating one of the two Council Representatives, as j only one is presently appointed: However, rather -that reducing the total membership, I feel an additional lay person should be appoint d lin lieu of the second Councilman, thereby retaining thirteen membe so 11 wish to strongly emphasize that my veto is not based in anyway I !ion personalities, as I have the highest regard for all the Planning ! ilDepartment Personnel. I simply see no need or advantage in making the changes as proposed in Bill # 52. 1 Respectfully submitted, Ed. H. Rackers, Jr. Mayor Pro Tem, Act:n.g as Mayor in absence of Mayor Hartsfield.
