6 1 Let's see. Next, let's look at the 2 minutes of the July 7, 2016 meeting. Does anyone have 3 any proposed changes or questions regarding the 4 meetings that have been submitted? 5 MR. BLISS: I had one. On page two -- 6 THE CHAIRMAN: Yes, sir. 7 MR. BLISS: -- paragraph four, it reads on 8 line three, "Which presented a problem so they have 9 backed," I think the word should be off and not on. 10 THE CHAIRMAN: I agree. I noted that and 11 I believe Mel made a -- had the same notation. 12 Is that right, Mel? 13 MR. DISNEY: Yes. 14 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay. So the record will 15 reflect that correction. Any other changes or 16 corrections, Rick? 17 MR. BLISS: No. 18 THE CHAIRMAN: Anybody else? 19 Mel, did you have any others? 20 MR. DISNEY: Basically, just a word, 21 possibly, on page four, about the middle of the page. 22 "There would be no issue," or no action is the 23 conclusion of that statement. 24 THE CHAIRMAN: Rick, do you see that? The 25 paragraph starts, "Chairman Soule informed Mr. Odom Concannon & Jaeger St. Louis, Missouri (314) 421-1000
Odom Concannon & Jaeger St. Louis, Missouri (314) 421-1000
7 1 that because he is changing the variance request, he 2 would still simply resubmit a new application; in other 3 words there would be no issue." I didn't pick up on 4 anything. Do you think that issue is okay? 5 MR. BLISS: I think so. 6 MR. DISNEY: I withdraw. 7 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay. Very good. I had a 8 question on page seven, about, I don't know. Just past 9 halfway down, it starts, "Mary DeBeneditti asked how 10 many," it's not congregates. I believe it should be 11 "Congregants the Journey Church has." 12 MR. BLISS: Yes. 13 THE CHAIRMAN: So we will change 14 congregates to congregants on page seven. And then on 15 page nine, the third to the last paragraph, "There were 16 no objections to this exhibit being entered into," 17 insert the word "the" before "record." 18 Does that look right? 19 MR. BLISS: Sure. 20 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay. So with those 21 proposed changes, we'll ask that those changes be made 22 to these minutes and we will review them again, for 23 approval, at our next meeting. Does that make sense? 24 Give Kathy a chance -- 25 MR. BLISS: Do you want to approve them Concannon & Jaeger St. Louis, Missouri (314) 421-1000
