Mrs. Kerr moved to amend the minutes of the July 21, 1980 meeting striking the sentence pertaining to the General Obligation Bond - Ordinance D-253 beginning "Mrs. Kerr stated she felt the fire station and Rangeline Road project should just wait and felt there was a conflict of interest concerning the realtor on the property proposed for a city complex." and inserting the sentences "Mrs. Kerr questioned a possible conflict of interest, i.e. Mr. Perfetti, the broker for the land acquisition, had approached Mr. Pearce, City Attorney, to offer assistance in securing monies for a bond issue. Mrs. Kerr favors new development to increase the tax base and a pay-as-you-go program for expenditures and feels it would be fiscally irresponsible to go for a bond issue at this time in light of the present state of the economy."
