Councilman Weiss stated he had the following corrections to make in regard to the minutes of October 22, 1956. Page 2, second sentence refers to his statements and the conditions he had suggested to eXplored and included. He feels that they were very pertinent and should be made a part of the record in order that they may receive proper consideration at the appropriate time. 'Il. Explore the advisability of providing for a deed restriction as to reversion of property to the city for recreation purposes in the event the Highlands Community Club becomes inoperative F for any reason. 2. Provide for restrictions that no bar serving or selling alcoholic beverages will be operated on said premises at any time. 3. That stipulation be made requiring the posting of proper bond to insure that the premises and the building will be properly maintained at all times and that the terms and or restrictions will be carried out." Page 3. Relative emergency ordinance - "I made an extemporaneous statement on this question. I believe my remarks were very pertinent and clearly indicated my reasoning on said question and which xesulted in my negative vote as is recorded in said minutes. It is sy thinking that the minutes should be clear on the point, my colleagues have insisted on frequent occassions that their statements giving reasons for voting as they do be made a part of the record, I accordingly wish to have my statement made a part of said minutes: The subst4Lnce of my remarks is as follows: "While the necessity for the ordinance was highlighted by the Farm Hills situation, it certainly was not intended or directed specifically at Oddstad Homes, it is an all inclusive ordinance and applies equally to all developers alike. True the situation in Farm Hills area has been handled by sparate action and agreament, e.e. The agreement authorized at our previous meetings but the necessity for the ordinance to cover the overall situation is still evident. The ordinance may be a little stringent but since it has been brought to the state of adoption or rejection, it is my feeling that it is in proper form and is as necessary today as before, to fill a void and should be adopted and not .. postponed." Page 5. "My remarks relative Master Plan and Capital Projects, etc. should include the City Manager amongst those to be commended, and amoungst the projects the words "Preparation of a long range" should be inserted before the words "Capital Projects" and these last words should be followed by the word 'Program". Councilman Weiss moved adoption of the minutes subject to corrections mentioned, seconded by Councilman Stout. Councilman Granger spoke on the question and stated that he did not believe that they should allow the minutes. He, Councilman Granger, believes that these "corrections" should be considered at this
