Public
Comment: The following resident's spoke against and
had questions regarding the purchase of Nunzi's; Mark AuClair,
Rick Hogan, Lisa Stevens, and Councilor Mullen read questions
submitted by Jim Thompson who was unable to attend the meeting.
Supervisor Tyrie stated he is 100% behind this project but,
won't spend taxpayer money to promote this. There will be public
hearings prior to referendum and the property will be open to
the public to review. Councilor Mullen had questions regarding
the purchase offer, she thought we were going to get more grant
money and she does not remember the $750,000.00 purchase offer.
Councilor Pratt remembers the meeting in '99 where the board
discussed the purchase of Nunzi's. Some board members were talking
about different grants that could be available for this project
but the Supervisor did not make such statements. He has reservations
that all the information needed for the public won't be ready
in two months. Councilor Mahaney feels the public should have
a chance to vote on this and agrees with Councilor Pratt that
we need to look into this further.
