As there were no questions or comments, Benke moved, seconded by Brandt, to CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. 3 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried Mot i on by Benke, seconded by Wi 11 i arns, to CONTINUE CONSIDERATION OF PROJECT 88-26 TO THE APRIL 26, 1988, CITY COUNCIL MEETING. 3 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried Benke commented there may be a perception that projects were brought in with which council did not agree; explained that staff's job is to make recommendations to the council for consid- eration (staff recommendations, budget, public input, etc.). The fact that council rejected sevey'al of Proper's recommendations to- night speaks for the success of the process and not necessarily for the quality of the work that has gone into the studies. Benke feels the involvements and the discussions led to good decisions. Williams stated he feels very fortunate that the city has the kind of staff it has and encouraged Proper and others to continue to make the kinds of recommendations they think are necessary from their professional perspective and whether the council agrees or disagrees is not a reflection of their professional ability. Williams further stated the council factors in a lot of informa- tion before making decisions -- which is the essence of team work; and summarized that the council and all citizens are very fortunate to have people like Proper on staff. Council Business Benke indicated Bill Keifer (co-owner of the Garden Grove apart- ment complex) asked that he be given an opportunity to respond to the staff report and to negotiate a solution. Berger reported the Citizen Study Committee formed a subcommittee to review the issue; the Committee outlined the alternatives and is recommending denial of the petition. Alice Teague, resident manager of Garden Grove, was not aware the subcommittee was at her site; Pam Schmitz, Citi zen Study Commi ttee Chair, indicated they received Teague's input at the Citizen Study Committee meeting prior to the subcommittee's review of the site.
