to get through.

meeting in which Joe Iliff, the Development Services Director,recommended that an

does not need to influence the vote of the Planning and Zoning Commission or the City
Council by making recommendations.
Mr. Cockrell also commented about Mr. Iliff only publishing his public hearings in the
Denton Record Chronicle and not in the Sanger Courier like City Hall does. He would
like the City to decide which newspaper will be used for all public notices.
