nine months, | remind you that one
of: the members was a
Properties representative.
“The task force listened to If
presentations, provided three pub-
lic forurns, waded through a moun-
tain. of material. and are conse-
quently experts on the subject.

“Even though some task force

members felt intimidated by having
the developer present, they arrived
at a majority decision and said no
to Cates Landing.”

Eleven members of the task

force have written to council stat.

ing they are “'saddeied: and dis-
that council attempted to

date. for @ public hearing of this

_ proposal.” -

tled to an opportunity to respond to
