Jack Hovingh, 4250 Muirwood Drive, expressed his dismay at the conduct of the last Council meetings. Councilmembers who exercise the Council Rules and Procedures should not be criticized. He also felt there should be more civil conduct among members. In addition, he wanted those running in the November election to refrain from participation in the Mayor's Report or other televised interviews. Mr. Tarver indicated there is an established policy that the Mayor and other Councilmembers running for office will refrain from participating in the Mayor's Report for September and October. 6- PUBLIC HEARINC;$ AND OTHER MATTERS Item 6a Consideration of certifying the adequacy of the Final EnvirOnmental Impact Report.

He related there have been 100 meetings of subcommittees, 80 meetings of the Steering Committee, eight meetings of the Planning Commission, and nine meetings of the City Council. He asked how Council wanted to proceed. Ms. Michelotti proposed to take testimony on all three items before Council addresses the issues. She also thanked the Mayor for continuing this item to tonight in order that all the Councilmembers have an opportunity to vote on this. Ms. Dennis agreed with this procedure. Mr. Pico indicated there have been at least two public hearings on this matter. He strongly suggested that public comments be only on new issues. Mr. Tarver wanted it to be decided at the beginning of the meeting whether the meeting would be continued to August 7 if the matter has not been decided by 11:30 p.m. The consensus was that the meeting would be continued to tomorrow if not completed by 11:30 p.m. Mayor Tarvet asked for public comment. 08/06/96 -4-
