City Attorney Schenk said if the City Council would recall, a public hearing was conducted on this matter, and what he has attempted to do is translate this into appropriate language for inclusion into the Code of Ordinances book as reflected in the caption; unfortunately, there have been computer problems in getting this accomplished. City Attorney Schenk advised that another matter, which the City Council has been furnished that information, is concerns of Tenaska and another entity regarding the plan. Mr. Schenk said he and Herb Campbell have discussed this matter and feel like the City has adequate time to adopt the ordinance at a later date. Mr. Schenk said they have attempted to resolve the concerns expressed by Tenaska through the state, and they have received one response, but feel that in the interest of the City's customers, they prefer to spend more time resolving any concerns to the extent that they can, and still meeting the state's requirements before the plan is adopted. Mr. Schenk requested that this matter be tabled until such time that they can get those concerns resolved.
