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 eFplored 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. 111.

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 Iresulted in my negative vote as is recorded in said minutes. It is my 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 substance 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 agreement, e.e. The agreement authorized at our previous meeting, 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." f 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
