6/22/99 City Staff Report for 7/1/99 PC Hearing Examiner Hearing (NOTE: We placed a public info request for the tape of this hearing so we could transcribe it. The copy we received from the city was inaudible. We then requested of the city to allow us to hear the original tape on their equipment. While this tape was better [insofar as that it was clear folks were talking], only the hearing examiner's words could be heard, but with great difficulty.)
