Regular Council Meeting Minutes 2-16-09 Page 35 Mrs. Cinco said, he won't get his 20 acres. Mayor Rinker said you are going to find out pretty quickly who is willing to sign. Dr. Parker said just because there are deed restrictions - Mayor Rinker said you are changing the fact. Forget the deed restrictions. Think of the Homeowner's Association, meaning people associating together. Neighbors. A neighborhood. A-neighborhood association is neighbors associating. The reason Mayor Rinker is talking this way is you can voluntarily as a resident in your neighborhood pledge, I will not sign that lease. If you can circulate this petition, why can't you circulate that pledge? Answer that question. Dr. Parker said, let me be correct, Joanne was not saying that our deed restrictions were Mrs. Cinco said - Mayor Rinker said, time out. You are changing the subject. They are not relevant to that decision. Dr. Parker said that's what I was hearing. So if that is not what I am hearing and that is not what she is saying, - Mayor Rinker said the fact of the matter is, you can as an association, before you even set foot in that meeting, you can circulate to every homeowner, Hanover, Hardwood, every one of them and you can say, here's the pledge. You probably are more grammatically correct in this document and make it very straightforward, I, so and so, at such and such address, pledge not to enter into a lease, drilling or non-drilling. Sign it. Do you think that's a problem? I would hope it's not. Dr. Parker said your point is taken. Mayor Rinker said all he is saying is the more people who don't treat themselves as victims and recognize they can assert their rights that way, it helps. Council President Buckholtz said if somebody new moves in and takes it to the State of Ohio and challenges it - Mrs. Cinco said then they would not get the 20 acres. Dr. Parker said, perhaps he was misreading it. Mayor Rinker said you weren't misreading it because we have been told that back when the understanding was, it was qualified, it was like, I think I recall that they had deed restrictions. Mayor Rinker remembers his response was check your deed. That was weeks ago. Did you check your deed?
