minutes, if you count the pages there, and it would be about mid -way down, just before the
statement, 'Commissioner Caldwell asked if this could be done today.' Now there was a
statement in there after Mr. Olson got through that I made and I feel it very appropriate
and should have been in there and I stated that, 'Mr. Olson just confirmed that I did do
my homework. The City did not initiate previous applications and he also confirmed what
Solomon Oliver said that it will and does cost the taxpayers money for these projects.'
Now that was stated and I would like to have that inserted into the records."
