It was his opinion that the vote was denied for <br />the closure at the last Council meeting ending any further reconsideration for the <br />permanent closure. <br />Callahan explained that all Council members were in favor of the closure but were of <br />different opinions on the public or private maintenance of the road. The final vote at the <br />meeting was to table the issue to allow time to gather facts in order to arrive at a <br />solution. That has been done as previously explained by Jabbour in his comments after <br />the vote to permanently close the road. Callahan said it often happens that an issue is <br />tabled at one meeting and a vote retaken at a later date to allow time for members to <br />come to a majority solution. Day commented that he now had a better understanding of <br />the process and had misunderstood the final vote at the last meeting. <br />ZONING ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT <br />(•#5) #1298 RICHARD JOHNSON/GORDON NELSON, FOREST BOULEVARD <br />- VACATION - RESOLUTION #3555 <br />Hurr moved, Jabbour seconded, to approve the vacation of final segments of Forest <br />Boulevard, Resolution #3555.
