14 Ms. Jeanne Cox, Clerk of Council, said that after deferring the rezoning request for a second time, the applicant was asked not to defer the matter again. Mr. Cox said that it has also been six months since the original public hearing on the request. Councilors discussed, but came to no agreement about guidelines for additional public hearings. Mr. Schilling asked where we are in the process for the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court design. Mr. Cox said that the consultants will be briefing Councilors later in the w eek on the design. He said that after a decision is made about the design, it will go to the Board of Architectural Review. He said that the Committee is undecided about the design and wanted Council's input. Mr. Lynch said he thinks the design issue s hould go before the public before it goes to the BAR, and he said he thinks a public hearing should be held on the matter. Mr. Cox said he will take that sentiment to the Committee. Ms. Richards said the process has been that one recommendation go to t he BAR and they have a public hearing on it. Mr. Schilling expressed concern that decisions were made by Council in his absence at the last budget work session with regard to use of Council's reserve funds. He said he was available by phone.
