    them should remain zoned
    for residential use. People
    who live south of C.R. 50,
    between C.R. 427 and C.R.
    23, made the same
    argument.
    In May, the Plan
    Commission agreed with
    those residents and changed
    a map that would have
    zoned those areas for light
    industrial use.
    The zoning plan now
    returns to the Plan Commis-
    sion, which will try to
    devise a plan that can win
    the council's approval. The
    issue might be on the
    agenda for the commission's
    Aug. 11 meeting .
    cost per square foot,
    restroom availability,
    parking, technology, taxes
    and utilities.
    Knox said he anticipates
    a lease agreement will be
    part of the July 21 school
    board meeting agenda.
    Ideally, Knox said, a new
    site would be ready to house
    students at the start of the
    2009-10 school year.
    However, students could
    begin the school year at
    McIntosh if necessary.
    • Knox reported that the
    district's maintenance staff
    has declared the band tower
    unsafe and beyond repair.
    Knox said the district
    received a $32,000 quote for
    a new band tower during the
    high school renovation
    process . However, at that
    time

    not a priority.

    Councilman Mike Walter
    voted no for a different
    reason. He doubted the city
    followed the proper legal
    procedures to claim extrater-
    ritorial zoning jurisdiction of
    the land outside its borders.
    Councilman Marilyn
    Gearhart cast the only vote
    in favor of the map.
    The vote followed a two-
    hour debate with some 30
    audience members about the
    future of land use
    surrounding the city.
    Residents along the far
    southwestern edge of the
    extra zoning territory, on
    C.R. 19 south of C.R. 48,
    argued that land around
    Sherry Grate said marketing
    of the programs will begin
    immediately and parents in
    the district will receive a
    flyer on the programs.
    In other business at
    Tuesday night 's organiza-
    tional meeting:
    • Grate announced that
    the district has received a
    $101,300 Learning
    Technologies Competitive
    Grant for 2009. The money
    will be used to buy 28
    classroom presentation
    systems at DeKalb Middle
    School and will engage the
    students with interactive
    instruction, the board heard.
    • The board approved an
    emergency allocation of
    $29,230 to repair the air
    conditioning equipment at

    AUBURN - The Auburn
    Common Council rejected a
    zoning plan for areas
    surrounding the city
    Tuesday night.
    Council members voted
    6-1 to send the plan back the
    Auburn Plan Commission
    for changes. The commis-
    sion held three lengthy
    meetings about the plan
    earlier this year.
    Most council members
    seemed to be swayed by
    Mayor Norman Yoder's
    complaint that the zoning
    map did not leave enough
    room for industrial growth.
