Harvie Branscomb, a member of the Bay trilling Committee, stated that there is a great deal of public interest in this application; that the public would like an opportunity to be heard by the Council, and that the public would prefer the hearing to be held on the date announced for the hearing. Mr. Branacomb further stated that the Committee would expedite this matter as soon as possible so that a date for the public hearing may be set. Mayor Pro Tem Blackmon stated that the Council concluded earlier in the meeting that it would be premature to net a date for the hearing until a recommenda- tion is received from the Committee; and that a recommendation should be received before this matter is voted upon. Captain Clark appeared before the Council and inquired about the Bay area being annexed, and if this matter would be voted upon in the next election. City Manager Whitney explained that the Council had suggested that the City prepare an ordinance ea1ling for an election to annex a new line in the Bay; and that maps are being prepared and should be ready for Council discussion and action next week. There being no further business to come before the Council, the meeting was adjourned.
