Mayor McDonald stated that in connection with the following proposed
ordinance, he preferred to disqualify himself from voting on its passage for the
reason that he has an interest in a similar and competitive business as that in-
volved in the application for the requested change of zoning.
Mayor Pro Tem Swantner, taking over the Chair, requested City Attorney
Singer to read the law and advise the Council concerning the legal requirements
of a vote relative to this particular situation.
City Attorney Singer referred to Article 1011e of the Texas Statutes
which covers application of zoning, to the effect that in the event a petition
of owners of 20% of the property within 200' of the area being considered for
rezoning oppose the granting of the rezoning, then it requires a three-fourths
majority of the whole Council in order to be effective as an amendment of the
zoning ordinance; that if any of the members of the Council disqualify themeelves,

vote of five of the City Council members for the proposed ordinance to become
