<br /> "M~ '
<br /> · . President, cat.our last ~me~ting on October 14, 1958, this Council, by a vote of
<br />5 to 2, indicated that the Council had ~no confidence' in Mr. Donald H. Sandie continuing to serve as a member
<br />of the City Planning Commission.
<br /> It would appear that the effecf of that ~no confidence~ vote has been misunderstood.
<br />Accordingly, I move the adoption of the following resolution:
<br />
<br /> "Whereas, Mr. Donald H. SandiD, a member of the Planning Commission of the
<br />City of Portsmouth, saw fit to represent parties in interest in behalf of Nor-
<br />folk County in the annexation proceedings between the City of Portsmouth and
<br />the Cou/lty of Norfolk; and,
<br /> Whereas~ it was felt by the membgrs of this Council that Mr. Sshdie~s ser-
<br />vice on the Planning CoEmission was incompatible with his representation of par-
<br />ties in the interest of Norfolk County and in conflict with the interests of
<br />the City of Portsmouth; an~, :
<br /> ~hereas, this Council on October .14,_ 1956, by a n~ajority .vote of 5 to 2,
<br />indicated that this Counqil had 'no confidence' in ~tr. Donald ~. Sandie contin~
<br />uing to serve o n the City Planning Commission; and,
<br /> W!ierea~, notwithstanding the aforesaid votD of 'no confidence' the gentleman
<br />in question has indicated through the press that he will not resign his position
<br />on the Planning Commission; and,
<br />
