COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE:
Cai Cumin stated currently our building permit process in Laurel is only in
the City and we have this.gray area outside the City which is under the juris-
diction of our zoning. Our Planning Board doesn't have any building permit
review process in it. I would like to have the Council's permission to get
moving, get Jim perhaps, on how we can provide that service, how much it will
cost if it is at all feasible. This would be 4½ miles, the jurisdictional
area of the Planning Board, perhaps more reasonably the one-mile out of the
zoning.
Motion bY Alderman Kellogg to give Jim Flisrand and Cal Cumin permission
to pursue this matter further, seconded by Alderman Dickerson. Motion carried
6--0.

Motion by Alderm.an Meyers to appoint Jack Broadhurst as a permanent patrol-
man to complete his probation period, seconded by Alderman Carter. Motion car-
