Meeting of March 6, 1973, as presented by Warren Hooper - 11
"First, I want to make it clear that I am not being critical of the
minutes as taken by Mrs . Moseley; I realize this is not court reporting
with every word recorded.
"I read the minutes of both the Planning Commission and Council meet-
ings and feel my position was not presented in its proper light. I
would not have questioned the minutes except that the WRONG INTERPRE-
TATION OF MY REMARKS have become the subject matter for several news
articles, including 2 Facts editorials, and Mr. Sewall again referred
to my statement as 'incorrect' in last week ' s Planning Commission meet-
ing which I did not attend.
"I wish to point out the following issues which are at stake:
"l. Reference has been made several times to my 'misrepresentations '
relative to a meeting between Levitt & Sons and Mr. Merritt. At last
Council meeting I asked that my remarks - referred to as MISREPRESEN-
TATIVE - be re-read. They were, and I said that, (except for my error
of including Bill Schindler whom I had thought at the time had been in
attendance) , I would stand by my statement as being correct. I do not
accept that there was any mis-representation involved in my statement.
And, until such times as it might be determined that there was, I
prefer it not be so referred to again.
"2. In both the Planning Commission meeting and the Council meeting,
I continually stressed that Levitt would NOT be building (190) $22,000
houses - yet this is what came out in BOTH newspapers. The Facts even
included $22,000 in an editorial written about the issue.
"It was stressed so carefully that, in your remarks, Mr. Mayor, in ex-
plaining your vote, you used the term $22, 000 (or even if they were
$50,000) you could not vote for the zone change at this time.
"3 . 1 don't believe the Planning Commission relied upon my statements
relative to the meeting with the City Manager nearly as much as this
