by-laws have to conform to that, and the Board would not have the power to amend the by-laws in a fashion inconsistent with the City Ordinance. The only timing issue that I see in the Code is the appointment to the membership of the Board. I don't know if that is going to occur tonight. If it is, we have a current ordinance which talks about five (5) and two (2). We have a proposed ordinance that talks about six (6) members. At the last meeting you considered the by- laws and approved them subject to the condition that the residency requirement appear in the by-laws, because it didn't appear in the draft that you had last time. What you have tonight is a copy of the by-laws with that provision and signed by the former Board of Adjustment. You've already acted on that. What you have tonight is only the ordinance itself doing the three (3) things that the title says. The current City Ordinance in Section 17.48.060 does require the vote of four (4) members of the Board of Adjustment to approve variances and to overturn any decisions made by the zoning administrator. All other matters require a majority vote of the members present at the Board of Adjustment. If you want to change that tonight, we'll have to amend Section 17.48.060 onto this ordinance. Going to an 80% requirement still is an amendment to 17.48.060, because the ordinance now says four (4) members. Mayer moved that Council approve Ordinance No. 1096, Series 1993, an ordinance amending Chapter 17.48 of the Louisville Municipal Code. Seconded by Sisk. Roll call was taken. Motion passed by a 7 - 0 vote. Howard moved that Council direct staff to get further information on the items that were discussed here tonight and bring them back for Council's consideration at the earliest possible date. 5
