STATEMENTS AND COMMENTS FROM MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC

Charles Green (979 Bear Tavern Rd) commented that the use of the money from the
2001 bond issue to play for the fence at the proposed Moody Park football field
was beyond the stated purpose, and the intent, of that ordinance and was
therefore illegal. He asked the Council to ask Attorney Hartsough to provide an
opinion.

Bob Litz (Hardwick Dr) stated that the vendor should be paid since he is a local
small business man and needs to have his vendors pay their bills.

Donald Roscoe Brown (Scenic Drive) commented that there was no reason not to
use the high school field for the Blue Devils football. Bon Blitz (Hardwick Dr)
Sandy Stewart (Dixmont Ave) stated that he vendor was a small businessman
and should be paid. Council members noted that it was the process that was
unacceptable, not the bill itself.

There being no further business, President Murphy called for a motion to adjourn.
Mr. Steinmann so moved, seconded by Ms. Wollert. The meeting was adjourned at
6:40 pm.
