Points to Pander:
t
A.P. Steger s (BLM) letter to the Council of
July 21, 1961, outlines steps to take to acquire the
-_-
City Dock Site and how payments are to be made, etc.
At the closing of this letter he says, "If you are
interested in purchasing this land on these terms,
please advise and a request will be made for a su -
lemental survey and Riat to delineate t a portion
within Public Land Urder
Does this mean the BIB would survey it for us?
Maybe the City won't have to assume the expense of a
survey??
�.
In line with the Mayor's suggestion to shorten
-
the time of the Council meetings you might consider
motions to limit debate on controversial issues. A
motion to limit debate is undebatable and requires a
two-thirds vote W- Often, council members have
---
reached a decision long before a question is put to a
vote and prolonged discussion seldom alters these
_
opinions. This might be one way of avoiding long,
-
drawn -out argumentation that serves no purpose.
