Special Council Minutes of 6/28/2004 architect perhaps; a decision as to whether the land is going to be at no cost or a cost of $500,000. There are some details-those details in particular-that need to be answered in addition to some other financial and staffing concerns that arose in her mind following the committee meeting. She understands that this can move forward appropriately, and time can be given to giving those answers over Council's vacation period. She asked that the Safety Committee chairman also perhaps get this back into committee at an appropriate time once those answers are provided to Council if that is the proper method for discussing them. But without this information, she does not think that Council can responsibly represent to the residents the scope of the project and the accurate affect it will have on their taxes if Council does not know the costs involved. With some more information this can work, but she does not want to see it under suspension. Roll call continued: Miller, no, and he is asking for the same information that Mrs. Kasler referred to and information that he had sent out to various parties prior to this evening's meeting. He would like a better explanation as this is a very involved issue and short answers aze not sufficient. He believes Council is capable of understanding those involved issues, and Council should hear the details. Roll call continued: Nashaz, no, but he would be in favor of holding another special meeting if needed to deal with this issue. The motion failed with five no's and two yeas.

Roll call: Miller, yes; Gazeau, yes; Limpert, yes; Dailey, yes, with comment that he has recently seen some studies questioning the long-term effect of the DARE program.
