REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD APRIL 8, 1991 <br />(til)PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICANTS CONTINUED <br />Stand on hardcover, in that I ask to see percentages reduced or <br />held at existing levels, not increased.

With regard to the Highway 12 issue, I would <br />like to think that I had something to offer, even though I have <br />my own viewpoints based on my personal experiences.
