Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Tuesday, January 17, 2012 Page 3 Mayor Rinker stated, you said the Ordinance Review Committee. Mr. Eadie stated, I went to Ordinance Review one time and got into literally a pissing contest with Chief Mohr and Mike Girbino. Mike Girbino is a miserable little man who likes to bully businesses. Council President Buckholtz stated, this is not the proper place - Dr. Eadie stated, this isn't the place for it. I'm not going to get into that. Council President Buckholtz stated, Dr. Eadie, I would just like to comment that I am picking up that 1386 is the fire suppression system that you are referring to? Dr. Eadie replied, yes, but - Council President Buckholtz stated, okay so, we limit the open portion to five minutes. I think we took care of that. Dr. Eadie stated, fine. I exceeded my five minutes. I appreciate that. Council President Buckholtz stated, we have a lot of business to get to. But I am sure someone will be looking at that and will tallc to you about it. Mayor Rinker stated, if I can, just so we don't leave it open ended. One, I can't comment on the 93- 95 other than it's possible that our records retention at that time we may not be able to retrieve those. Mary Beth has - Dr. Eadie stated, that's a poor excuse Bruce because everything relating to my building back in the `50's - Mayor Rinker asked, can I talk? We don't have to have a debate, I was just trying to be responsive. Dr. Eadie stated, yes. Mayor Rinker continued, okay. We will go back and redouble the efforts. It's been since 2007 and only recently that this has come up again. So I guess what I'd ask is give us the opportunity to ret.rieve what records we can. There's no desire on anyone's part to conceal those records. If we can't find them, I suspect it may be because we are unable to get them. We've been pretty diligent and especially in the last few years as methodologies improve being able to reta.in it. We have nothing to gain by hiding that information. Two, it's Council's call, but I suspect that if Ordinance Review wants to resume the dialogue, assuming it would be dialogue and not diatribe, I think that that would be constructive for everybody. And I think it's an opportunity for the Fire Chief, the Building Commissioner and the Council to revisit this and we can do that and we'll hy to look at it fairly and hopefully avoid the polemic.
