Observers state that part of
the reason for council
members'reactions may be a
belief that under the past ad­
ministration of Robert Black­
well, the city council was not in­
dependent enough. Such ob­
servers add that the concil­
liatory pproach of the mayor's
office may represent a desire of
the newly installed Mayor Mar­
tha Scott to respect this desire
for independence.
Councilwoman Christine
Franklin cited section 5-3 (h) in
the Highland Park City Charter
stating that "no item of business
shall be placed on the agenda
unless notice thereof was filed in'
the office of the clerk by noon of
the third working day preceed- (
ing each such meeting."
Councilman Dwight Downes
stated, "I wholeheartedly agree
with Chris."
On. the top of the council
agenda was stamped the words
