Councilmember Quick - No report. Councilmember Blanchard - No report Councilmember Rickaby - In response to Councilmember Blanchard's statement entered into the minutes last week, Councilmember Rickaby wanted to read her own statement to be entered into this week's Council Minutes. "Since Councilember Blanchard read a prepared statement into the minutes of the last Council Meeting in which she attached my • integrity and accused me of malicious libel, I find it necessary to use this time to read my own prepared statement into the minutes. First of all, I believe the audience to this Council Meeting deserves to know the content and the context of the statement that was the subject of Councilmember Blanchard's attack. As Mayor Linke pointed out at the last meeting, he proposed prior to the October work session that we discuss the possibility of omitting the Airport Road when the 10/610/County Road J construction took place. I naively believed that he was merely suggesting that the connection to the airport be left out, not the entire access from 85th Avenue to new J and to the airport. Therefore, when I started getting phone calls from my neighbors telling me that the rumor was that the Red Oak access would be eliminaited leaving Groveland, Knollwood and Spring Lake Road as the only access, I mistakenly reassurred them that all Mayor Linke proposed was the elimination of the airport connection. However, at the October 7th work session, I learned I was dead wrong and the rumors were correct. The Mayor was proposing eliminiating the Red Oak access at the time of construction. Phyllis Blanchard agreed with the proosal. In response, I told the Mayor and Council that many residents of Groveland Road did • not get nvolved when the last 10/610 fiasco took place. However, they had informed me tht if the rumors were correct, they would get involved this time.
