COUNCIL From 1A ed the date of the regular meet- ing for Tuesday, April 24 for the public hearing and vote but Corry said there's a small win- dow of time if Council hopes to make the change before filing starts July 6 for the November election. He said the U. S. Justice Department would have to sign off on the change and that could take from 60-120 days. Corry said he would do his best to expedite the process. Corry also asked Council to come up with a plan before the public hearing on how it wants terms to be staggered because some members would have to run for two years and some for four-year terms during the next election. “You may decide to draw straws,” he said. Six of seven council members and Mayor Rick Murphrey favor a staggered term. Their answers from a recent poll by The Herald ranged from creating stability in government to continuity in leadership and a politically sta- ble, experienced board which would help in economic recruit- mentiand business development. “God forbid if we had a clean sweep when all seven seats are up for grabs every two years,” said Councilman Howard Shipp. The filing period for the November city election opens at noon on July 6 and closes at noon on July 20. State law requires that once an ordinance is adopted it must be effective 90 days before the next election and clearance by the Justice Department must be accomplished before filing time. “That gives us abut 64 days,” said Corry, who said he would submit a certified copy of the board's resolution to Washington, DC for a review process beginning this week. Because Ward! I is thé minority ward, Corry suggestéd” that’ the elected councilman from this ward be given a four-year term and he suggested that possibly the highest vote getter for the at- large seat get the four-year term and the second thighest get the two-year term and that three elected councilmen could receive two-year terms and two would get the four-year term. “The mechanics is up to you,” he said. “This will be a quick process to complete but it can be done,” Corry said. Voters in 1995 voted down the four-year term after a petition was circulated by retired city planning director Gene White ‘with thie names 'of 457 voters ver- ‘ified by the elections board as 10 percent of the then population of 4,505. The public voted 485-340 and by 145 votes shortened the terms of city council to two-year terms effective with the 1997 election.

Declaring “I know it will,” he added “this has mashed my but- ton in the wrong places.” “Nothing is set in stone,” said Hager, who agreed that the lan- guage in the ordinance needs to be user friendly. The York Road area was zoned by the city in 2000. City officials said that improving appearance, signs and controlling traffic at gateways to the city were some of the positives of a district and ordinance which not only pro- tects current property owners but newcomers and new con- struction in the overlay districts. Residents expressed concerns about location of driveways, set- back requirements and asked for clarification of residential prop- erty, among other questions raised during the lengthy meet- ing in which the overlay district discussion was last on the agen- da.
