183 <br />Mrs. Pierce asked about Caucus. <br />Regular Council Meeting <br />6/20/94 <br />Page Twenty-three . <br />Mr. Diemert said there was no Caucus; this was never discussed in private and Council <br />never left the room this evening. <br />(D Mrs. Peirce asked why the numbers were the same. <br />M <br />M Mr. Diemert said one is a resolution; the other one is an ordinance. <br />Q <br />z Mrs. Peirce said it is unkind that she has to be so specific to know a letter in the file. She <br />? does not know what they are sending out on what day. They are making her upset <br />when she asked if she could see the file of the Army Corps. Mrs. Peirce said Mayor <br />Rinker promised he would look into it when they talked Friday at 7 p.m. about the huge <br />tank that it would come on Tuesday morning. At 7:30 a.m. they came.

She expected that Mr. <br />Basile, as her Councilman, would have come to her land to see it. Mrs. Peirce said if <br />they are takulg her land and they are voting for it, she would like them to know what <br />they are taking. <br />Mr. Fixler said he went up there three times and took extensive photographs which he <br />shared with all of Council while they were discussing it last year.

Mr. Fixler said he does not want Mrs. Peirce to make it seem like they have just <br />looked at this project and said they will do it and that is the end of it. That has not been <br />the case. He wants the record to reflect that. They have spent hours trying to come up <br />with something that would be more aesthetic pleasing. <br />Mrs. Cinco said they were quite excited to find a plan that would not devastate the area <br />and leave as much green as possible. <br />Mayor Rinker said they have expended many hours and money and have risked several <br />hundred thousand dollars that had been promised to us by a grant. T'his is something <br />that is to benefit an entire park system. It will serve quite a number of needs. They are <br />constrained to construct it where they are constructing it. They have spent a lot of time <br />and money looking for options. Council is concerned about a timetable that keeps <br />growing shorter and shorter for the dollars that we have available. They agreed to <br />expend additional time and money with an engineer to modify those plans. They have
