Ms. Richards agreed with Ms. Daugherty. <br /> <br /> Ms. Richards recommended that the section on reversion be condensed and subjective <br />language be removed. <br /> <br /> Ms. Slaughter said the language was added last year as the rationale for defending the <br />reversion law. <br /> <br /> Mr. Toscano agreed that some of the language could be changed, with language <br />summarizing the statute retained, and judgmental language removed. <br /> <br />Mr. Cox agreed that the subjective sentence should be removed. <br /> <br />Ms. Daugherty asked that the enterprise zone language not be struck out. <br /> <br /> Mr. Gouldman said he will make changes to the legislative package and circulate it to <br />Council, and if Councilors are satisfied, he will circulate the package to local legislators. <br /> <br />CONSENT AGENDA <br /> <br /> Ms. Slaughter removed the appropriation for the recreation trail program and resolution <br />authorizing funds for a study oftwo-waying Market Street from the consent agenda. <br /> <br /> Mr. Daniel Schleffer, 2212 Greenbrier Drive, asked if the results of the running of the <br />HOO bus led to the belief that there was an improvement to business downtown, and asked if <br />the Council has considered dividing and selling off the Pen Park property. <br /> <br /> Mr. O'Connell said he staff have spoken with downtown businesses who say the HOO <br />bus has helped their business. <br /> <br /> Mr. Gouldman said that the City has not generally been involved in residential <br />development, and Mr. O'Connell noted that the property has been vacant for over 20 years <br />and only now has a private developer come forward with a development proposal. <br /> <br /> On motion by Ms. Daugherty, seconded by Mr. Cox, the following consent agenda <br />items were unanimously approved by Council: <br /> <br />a.
