meeting of September 14, 1982 which minutes were approved on October 12,
1982 which erroneously reflected that the vote was unanimous with regard
to the variance on the parsonage when in fact Councilman Martin and
Simmons abstained. The minutes will be corrected to reflect the two
abstentions by Councilmen Martin and Simmons at a Council meeting on
October 13, 1982." Motion was seconded by Councilwoman Dodd. In

feeling, including myself, that there is not a conflict of interest,
and as far as we are concerned, that issue is completely settled."
