Presentation of Certificate of Competency to Bill Beverford Water Distribution Manager II Mayor Whidden presented the Certificate of Competency for Water Distribu- tion Manager II to Bill Beverford, with commendations. 2. Public Hearings A. Nuisance Ordinance Deferred Until December 15, 1987 Second Public Hearing Scheduled Following an overview of the proposed Ordinance by Attorney Knutson, Mayor Whidden opened the public hearing and asked for comments from the audience. Leonard Fuller, 420 East llth Street, felt a recent article in the newspaper about his property and the possibility of the Council adopting the ordinance tonight grossly unfair. He urged the Council to schedule another public hearing at the next meeting to give the public more of an opportunity to comment. Karl Wasden, 431 East Ninth, felt that if clutter was out of sight and could not be seen without more than usual effort, it should be okay. He also felt that the tenant of a rented property should be the one responsible, rather than the owner. Ruth Dorr, 416 East llth Street, the property next door to Leonard Fuller, thought it was a great ordinance and thanked the Council. She presented pictures of other properties, excluding Mr. Fuller's property.
