Mayor Hurley reviewed items on the Council agenda for Monday, April 17, 2006 and the
following items were reviewed:
1. A new date of hearing and bid opening has been scheduled for May 8, 2006 on the
F.Y. 2006 E. San Marnan Drive Paving Improvements, Contract No. 698. The
staging has been changed to accommodate the businesses.
2. The request of M.E.N.D. L.L.C. to rezone from "R-2" One and Two Family
Residence District to "R-3,R-P" Planned Multiple Residence District for property
generally located along Cottage Grove Avenue in the proposed Scotch Grove
Addition for the purpose of development of seven 8-plex condos as well as
approximately 31 one and two family dwellings. A petition has been received from
over 20 percent of residents within 250 feet of the rezoning, so it will require a 3/4 vote
of the council to pass.

$18,345.25 plus $2,000.00 for incidentals for property to be used as part of the
redevelopment of the Eastside Housing Project. This was previously approved by the
council for a lower costs.
4. The bargaining contracts with the five unions were discussed. Bob Stringer, Human
Resources Director, explained the proposed agreements. Councilperson Greenwood
asked if wellness screening was included in the health package. Mr. Stringer
responded that the contracts include the same health benefit package except for
increased deductibles, out-of-pocket maximums and employee contributions.
5. The hearing date of April 24, 2006 for the FY2007 One Year Action Plan —
Community Development Block Grant and HOME Program funds was discussed.
