Mayor Fauson stated that it is the consensus of <br />Council that Hundley be authorized to proceed with <br />the proposal to the. Boulder Open Space Board and <br />authorized to submit to Boulder County a special <br />use permit request on Site 1 and possibly Site 2. <br />OTHER: Phare informed Council of a request by Public <br />Service regarding conversion of the remaining <br />mercury vapor street lights to high pressure <br />sodium, the latter being the lights installed in <br />new subdivisions.
