Mayor Rockwood opened the meeting at 5:00 p.m. Notice of the special meeting was
posted as required.
The Council discussed the proposed change to the City Code to allow the transfer of land
to the City without the land being platted as long as the property is to be used for a public
purpose. Council member Dee Johnson motioned to amend Sec. 10-1-4 of the City Code
by adding a section #7 which reads, "A conveyance to any public agency for the purpose
of developing or constructing any public park, well site or other public facility." Council
member Dave Huntsman seconded the motion. All were in favor of the motion.
This change needed to be done by the first of the year so Ronnie and Susan Barnes could
donate land to the City to be used for a future City Park.
The Mayor gave a copy of our Area of Impact Agreement draft to each Council member.
Clerk Betty McKinlay will get a copy to our two new incoming Council members. A
meeting with the City Attorney to discuss any questions about the agreement or other
planning and zoning issues was set up for January 4, 2000 at 4:30 p.m. at the Community
Center. Everyone was asked to attend. A copy of the agreement was also sent to the
County Commissioners for their review and comment. We still plan to meet with the
Commissioners on Jan. 6th to discuss the agreement.

to discuss the density requirement for a manufactured housing park. The Mayor
indicated that it would be added to the Jan. 19th meeting agenda.
