Sjiecial Council Meeting Minutes <br />December 7, 2009 <br />Page 9 <br />A member of the audience advised they could not hear Mayor Rinker. <br />Mayor Rinker restated, yes, we are aware of the Hej cl property and we had a slide show and <br />showed that as one of two properties where specifically what you're talking about relative to <br />directional drilling. Skoda Minotti, you've got better information than we have. We have heard <br />nothing about the Hejcl property for months. <br />Jim Triner <br />In follow up to that question, if, let's say the Hejcl property as a what-if did come in to play, and <br />they did have to go under SOM Center Road, who makes the decision to give that property? <br />Would the city enter into a pool to give that property to the drilling pool in order to make that <br />happen? <br />Mayor Rinker, replied no. Council President Buckholtz stated that's a State Route. <br />Mrs. Triner asked, what about the 6.8 acres? <br />Mayor Rinker asked, what about it? We aze not part of any drilling unit. <br />The audience applauded. <br />Mr. Triner stated he has one more thing that he will submit to Mary Beth. On these chemicals, <br />there was a study done of a group in Colorado that looked at the harmful effects of drilling and <br />safety hazards. Again it goes through the effects of these chemicals, so this is available for us as <br />a document. ' <br />Mayor Rinker sta.ted one of the things we have heazd, it's like, right to know law issues, one of <br />the problems has been that they have not been revealing that information. Everyone shares that <br />concern, especially when you look in some of the outlying areas where aquifers are affected. <br />Mr. Triner had one more question on the Bonnieview site as far as health and safety. Since where <br />that particular wellsite is and you have a potential one at Aintree and you have a potential <br />wellsite on the west side of SOM Center Road, so there would be essentially three wells in that <br />area, if you look at the population density with the apartments and Stonecreek and also the <br />Village property out there, you are looking at probably 2,000 plus people that can be affected by <br />this. Has that been taken into account? <br />Mayor Rinker replied, absolutely. But the problem again is, from the perspective of the State, <br />they basically look at it as a waiver. All of the people in Stonecreek signed off or the people that <br />signed off, and it begs the issue about well, what about everyone else that doesri't sign off. It's <br />the whole reason everyone's up in arms because it's a high density azea and other people are <br />making the decision divesting you of your property values or just your own sense of security and <br />r, well-being. Yes, it's been taken into account.
