Mr. James Elmore, 642 Commercial Ave.,
questioned if the City Council had
the power and authority to correct
mistakes made by City Staff and if
so wanted to know what the procedure
was to have it done.
Mayor Acosta answered in the affirma-
tive and stated that the matter
would be handled through proper
channels depending on who make the
mistake, i.e. through the City Manager,
Executive Session, Personnel Board,
the Courts, etc.
Mr. Elmore expressed concern that
on a previous problem that he had
brought to Council Staff had not
followed through with a written
response as Council had instructed.
He stated he had been in City Hall
that morning and someone had handed
him a letter of response
to his Council queries and stated
if he had not had business in City
Hall that morning he would still
be without a written response.
Mayor Acosta directed the City
Manager to send responses to citizen
queries by certified mail with a
return receipt requested.
A discussion followed on variances,
Use Permits, hardship cases,
setbacks, non-conforming uses,
the Design Review Board, the.appeal
process, etc.
Mr. Bob Barnett, 350 Grand Avenue,
made reference to a letter he had
received in answer to three questions
he had posed at a prior Council
meeting. He stated that the property
in front of Brentwood Market,
was one of his questions concerning
lost revenue. The letter stated
there had been substantial delays in
receiving a response from the property
owners on this matter - he felt this
did not answer the question.

He continued by stating that this sub-
ject had been coming up for the past
fifteen years without its ever having
been resolved.
Mayor Acosta stated that the Council
could not do anything without giving
the people a reasonable period of
time to respond. However, that period
of time should be limited to a month
or two and if Council has not had
an answer, they will take action.
Mr. Barnett stated that it was not
equitable that the people patronizing
the downtown area had to pay for
parking when patrons of the Brentwood
area do not have to pay for parking.
Mayor Acosta stated that the downtown
was a Parking District and the revenue
received was used to acquire property
for additional parking lots.
Mr. Barnett said he had suggested to
the City Manager that a separate
entity be brought in to put
meters at Brentwood and the City
should receive a percentage of the
revenue from that entity.
Councilman Damonte stated that this
matter had been brought up many times
in the past and Council would receive
a report from Staff and then in six
or eight months the matter would again
die down without being resolved.
City Manager Birkelo said that three
options were submitted to the Brentwood
property owners and he suggested setting
January as a deadline for a response
on the options.
Mr. Barnett brought up the subject
of lost revenue from the Chestnut
and Grand property which went from
$1,945 to $45.
Councilman Damonte responded that
even though the revenue was $45 the
City had received $500,000 for the
