TO:
Richard Ambrose
City Manager
City of Dublin
DATE: March 13, 1996
FROM:
Elizabeth H. Silver
City Attorney
RE:
Ordinance Designating Community Development Director in Lieu of
Planning Director
I have prepared an ordinance providing that all references to the Planning Director
shall be to the Community Development Director for the March 26 Council meeting.
Because Larry is leaving at the end of March, I have made the ordinance an urgency
ordinance so there is no period of uncertainty. The staff report should note that the
ordinance requires a four-fifths vote. Section 3 is meant to deal with situations like the
Taco Bell hea?ng which is in progress but not completed.
Very truly yours,
MEYERS, NAVE, RIBACK, SILVER & WILSON
