but es of this data tnera nas been no response from the Petitioner.
Councilman Kiselewski felt the application should be sent back to the
Petitioner if the package is incomplete. Mayor Martino stated this pro-
ject could not be vested because no.ORI is a vested project. Mayor
Martino stated the Municipal Implementation Ordinance states that if the
local government did not accept the application as being complete under
its land development regulations, it is deemed not to be vested. Vice
Mayor Aldred stated that the relocation of the Meadows to any place other
than within the city limits of Palm Beach Gardens, would reduce the
available affordable housing stock, and therefore the city would be in
violation of the goals and objectives set in the land use plan and should
therefore be rejected up front. In response to Mayor Martino, Attorney
Brant stated it is appropriate for the City to write the letter objecting
to the extension of time. Attorney Brant stated that if a package is
incomplete, the City must inform the Petitioner that the application is
unacceptable, therefore the application is not duly filed and it is not
official. Attorney Brant suggested a minor revision to code that if the
application is not completed within ten days of notification, it is auto-
matically terminated. Attorney Brant will take care of the revision to
the code when tF.a rewrite is done. The motion was unanimously approved by
the City Council.

that she spoke with Commissioner Marcus on Sunday and Commissioner Marcus
stated that if the City wanted to suggest a location for a library, the
City should response quickly. Commissioner Marcus stated the plans were
being worked on for the north county library, but there is no reason why a
location change could not occur. Mayor Martino stated he will rewrite his
letter regarding the library and give copies to the Council as soon as
possible.
Councilwoman Monroe suggested districting be scheduled as an item for
discussion in the near future.
