M U CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - July 20, 1977 Before proceeding with the order of business, Mayor Brown called attention to the new display in the Chambers exhibited by the Town's Historical Society, and which contained several historical photos of the Town. Presentations from the Floor (Cont'd): b) Mrs. Elsa Pering, Via Ventana: Stated that she was still unhappy with the recreational vehicle parking in her area, noting that she had written the City Attorney in this regard. Council Members discussed the problem which had been brought to their attention at a previous meeting. Councilman McReynolds asked if the owner of the vehicle had been personally contacted, to which Mr. Crowe stated he had not. Concensus was that the owner should be contacted to determine whether some solution might be found to Mrs. Paring's complaint, and that further action should be postponed until the City Attorney had a chance to give his opinion on the matter. D. STAFF: REPORTS, CORRESPONDENCE & ANNOUNCEMENTS: 1. City Clerk - Letter of Resignation. Mayor Brown noted the letter of resignation received from City Clerk Norma Hislop effective August 12, 1977 in order to accept the appointment of City Clerk for the City of Santa Cruz, California. For the record, he read Mrs. Hislop's letter in which she thanked the present, as well as past, members of the Council for their support and in allowing her to attend continuing education classes. She noted that the experience received in her four years employment with the Town had been much broader than what she would have received in another City, and felt that this would assist her in meeting the challenges of her new position.
