~unds View City Council Regular Meeting Page Five October 14, 1991 Councilmember Blanchard requested at this time that she would like to read a statement to be incorporated as part of the minutes. The statement is as follows: "I just saw the flyer this morning and am very upset at the distortions in it. When one attends law school, one should learn about libel law, but even if that portion of the law is not learned, it should be noted that when a person is quoted one should try to make the quote exact. That's what a quote is. What it is not is what Councilmember Rickaby wrote in this flyer, for whatever reason. My shoulders are broad. I will stand by any statement I make, if I make it. However, I will not stand by for deliberate, malicious distortions of my words. Quote me correctly or not at all." • Councilmember Rickaby asked for clarification of Councilmember Blanchard's statements regarding Groveland Road. Councilmember Blanchard explained that what she said was that Groveland Road was built to take more traffic than streets such as Knollwood or Red Oak Drive. Groveland Road is wider and built up better and with the interchange coming in traffic will come down Groveland Road. Councilmember Blanchard states that she never said it "should be" Groveland Road. Mayor Linke had stated that ,a vote was taken to leave the crossover the way it was and that the outcome was 3/2. Councilmember Rickaby rebutted that statement by the Mayor and said no vote had been taken, that he just asked the Councilmembexs how they felt about the crossover. Two were opposed to it and three wanted it left the way it was. Mayor Linke considered this a cancensus vote. 4. Ric Minetor, Director of Public Works, reviewed the municipal water storage analysis. Steve Campbell, Short-Elliott-Hendrickson, the City's consulting engineer, gave a short presentation on the municipal water storage analysis. Steve reported that because of the operational problems at Tank No. 2 and the potential rehabilitation costs, it is recommended that Tank 2 be dismantled and the site abandoned. Because of this a 12 inch crossing should be constructed at Long Lake Road to maintain adequate flow and delivery pressures for all demand situations south of T. H. 10. • Of all other sites in the City, City Ha11 is the best locat'o inas a single site. It requires no additional system improvements and will provide adequate flow and delivery pressure for all demand situations.
