I I I Council Minutes Apri 1 24, 1984 Sinda responded that we could publish our public hearings in a daily newspaper, in addition to the New Brighton Bulletin, which would cost additional monies. Benke had no practical objection to changing the meeting night to Monday, however, there would be a lot of other schedules that would have to be adjusted according. The change would be a viable option to consider. Blomquist felt that the additional week would be something that people would have to deal with. Benke stated that the delay would most often be two weeks, and sometimes three weeks, because of the time frame. 4 Ayes - 1 Nay (Blomquist), Motion Carried Krueger had nothing to add to the staff report con- cerning the second reading of the definition of screening ordinance amendment.
