Councilman Spaeth expressed concern re any change to the policy in terms of risk to the City. Attorney Lefler advised against any policy that would use waivers or variances. Mayor Hilde suggested that the City Manager devise a policy to protect the City against risk of a developer going under and leaving the City with financial responsibilities; but also, try to incorporate some flexibility. He summed up the Council mem- bers' feelings on the subject: they would not favor a loosening of the policy re raw land, but might find it possible to loosen up with regard to property where there is an existing or plann;d building, Further discussion was planned for the October 7, 1974 meeting.
