<br />i <br />1\ <br /> <br />-J_ <br /> <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Councilman Gorham rep1ied~hey need ade.quate knowledge for making a decision <br />and they need time to digest everything here tonight. <br /> <br />Mayor Cox said he can respond to the discomfort anybody attempting a ne~ <br />job with a government or otherwise feels. It is sometimes unde.r questionable <br />conditions. Everyone ~a~, times and situations of frustrationi. In all due <br />respect, he said he canno:C.'let that stand in the way of his.~decision. And, he <br />would like to sleep on it. <br /> <br /> <br />Mayor Cox presented a picture to .Mr. Walker and asked if he knew the location. <br /> <br />Mr. Walker replied that he has driven by the place and that there is a complaint <br />there to take care of. He added, this slune's":I.tuation probably exists in a <br />couple places, one of the Councilmen has the same situation in his yard. <br /> <br />E. Larsen said he knew the location without even seeing the picture, it is <br />153rd and Ramsey Boulevard. I don't share secrets. It's over by Gun Club <br />road. This was brought to the Council' s attention twice before and let's <br />not bring it up again. <br /> <br />Councilwoman Oliphant questioned what relevance this had. <br /> <br />Mayor Cox replied, does this have any rOCJre relevancy than the questions you have <br />asked. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Dick Hawkinson said questions about the lumber on the corner of No. 5 and 47 <br />could be brought before regular Council meetings. <br /> <br />Mayor Cox said he just .asked Mr. Walker if he was aware of ,i t and if he <br />thought something should be done about it. <br /> <br />Councilman Gorham said no charges are being brought against anyone. <br /> <br />Mr. Walker said he felt they were. <br /> <br /> <br />Margie Stepten said he answered all the questions put before him, why can't you <br />decide. <br />Mayor Cox said he has answered the questions but everyone working with him <br />hasn't answered them. <br /> <br />J. Schutz asked if they could make some type of indication as to what the <br />decision would be. <br /> <br />Councilman Gorham said this is the entire Council's responsibilitYr and they <br />made their recommendation and are here tonight to just review the report. <br /> <br />Margie Stepten asked how much time Council needed. <br /> <br />Councilman Gorham said at the last Council Meeting that his probation would <br />be extended until July 15,1976. He feels many things are coming up. The <br />landfill negotiations should rOCJve one way or the other. We all need to sit <br />down and talk over the qituation and reach an agreement. He said .the problems <br />were brought out, Mr. Walker has told us many things he has done for us in <br />the community and he thinks they can all sit down and work it out. <br /> <br />Councilwoman Oliphant: Mr. Walker has leadership ability and the ability to <br />make decisions from what I am hearing and we still can't make a decision? <br /> <br />Mayor Cox: First of all, Mrs. Oliphant, you voted against having an administrator. <br />All of a sudden now you change your mind, this is very irregular. <br /> <br />Council woman Oliphant: I did not vote against an Administrator. <br /> <br />Mayor Cox: Did you vote in favor? <br /> <br />Councilwoman Oliphant: Yes I did. <br /> <br />Mayor Cox: What do you mean, unable to make a decision. As far as I am concerned <br />there is no one rOCJre capable of making a decision than myself. <br /> <br />E. Larsen: Sooner or later you will have to make a decision. Let's not leave <br />the door open to another lawsuit. We all owe it to him to clarify the situation <br />and make a decision. <br /> <br />f",,: <br />". . r, <br />
