Mayor Malone announced that the first order of business would be consideration of recommendations made by the Planning and Zoning Commission. A motion was made by Councilman Fisher, seconded by Councilman Burnett to take from the table a previously tabled subject concerning revision of Sub - division regulations. Director of Public Works, Darrell Gunn appeared before the Council stating that he had recommended two inch asphalt surfaceing as opposed to one and one -half inch. Mayor Malone advised the Council that the Planning and Zoning Commission and Building Commission both recommended approval of the proposed sub- division changes as had been previously submitted to the Council with the exception of leaving the one and one -half inch asphalt concrete. The Building Commission had already gone on record opposing the adoption of the State's specifications. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that the City use the State's specifications as a guideline for street construction.
