engineering 4 x 4 or any of the others. I know that's one that Clark could
offer some advice on. That's the only reason I pulled this off.
Mayor Hamilton: I know that Clark has asked for that in the past and that's
why the specifications were included in the packet so it could be reviewed.
' These are all items that have been budgeted. Are needed. Are included in the
budget and if they weren't budgeted for, they would be separate items. I
think we should move ahead with them. They are certainly needed.
' Councilman Geving moved, Mayor Hamilton seconded to approve the specifications
and authorize to advertise for bids for Public Works Equipment pursuant to the
City Manager's recommendations. All voted in favor and motion carried.
Mayor Hamilton: For Clark's benefit I would like to direct your attention to
page 3 of the specifications. I think it indicates that we probably don't
' need to put all the specifications in. Item 10, bids must include license
plates labeled manager's vehicle, such being attached to a new Porsche. New
plates and attachment are to be buried in the bid. This was done half serious
and half in jest because I think it points out that when we have a budget we
' follow our budget. We need equipment and we don't all read through the
specifications. We have a professional staff to do that and I think we need
to trust them.
APPROVAL OF DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT FOR COLONY POINT.
Councilman Boyt: I want to see us add some language to this development
contract that we have been putting in other development contracts lately and
was somehow overlooked here. I think we should have a statement in there
' saying there will be daily clean-up of blowables. Any materials that would
tend to litter the area. And that the hours of operation would be what we
have used in other developments, 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. I believe it is,
Monday through Saturday excluding all Sundays and holidays.
' Councilman Boyt moved, Councilman Johnson seconded to approve the development
contract for Colony Point as amended by Councilman Boyt with the addition of
the two points he mentioned. All voted in favor and motion carried.
' PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL, HAWKS HILL, MIKE KLINGELHUTZ.
Councilman Johnson: Actually I pulled (f) because we weren't given the plat
' until right before the thing and I hadn't had a chance to look at the plat. I
wasn't going to vote for it. I've now had a chance to look at the plat and my ..a
comments are over with.
Councilman Boyt: I'd like to know if Mr. Davidson is in attendance tonight.
The property owner to the north.
Barbara Dacy: We doubled checked and we haven't heard from him since the
Planning Commission meeting.

Councilman Boyt: I think he made a good comment and it's all too true of what -
11
can happen when people buy property without checking with City Hall to see
what can happen to the property surrounding them. Mr. Davidson stated in the _
Planning Commission that when he purchased the property using Al Klingelhutz '
as his agent, he was told that the City was moving to a 10 acre ordinance
limit and that there certainly wasn't any indication that the property just to
the south of him would be subdivided into any lots smaller than that. Within
II
months we see this development brought in by Mike Klingelhutz proposing that
the property be developed into 2 1/2 acre plots. That's awfully unfortunate.
Though I see no particular reason to not allow this, since it came in under '
our other ordinance, it seems to me it's just another example that homeowners
have to use every precaution and in that they should include visiting the city
offices before they sign the contract.
Al Klingelhutz: I wonder if anybody asked of Mr. Davidson about this 2 1/2 1
acre. Your statement really makes me pretty damn angry because I as a realtor
usually tell people what's going on in the municipality and I'd like to have
; II
Mr. Davidson here tonight and ask him the question. If I actually told him
that there would be no further subdivision of that land south of his property.
If you want to get him before me, I would personally like to ask him that
question. II
Councilman Boyt: I appreciate your response. I can take by the tone that you
certainly didn't intend to imply nor did you tell Mr. Davidson that and it '
helps me make my decision.
Al Klingelhutz: I absolutely did not tell him that.
Councilman Boyt: But that's what he claimed in the Planning Commission.
Al Klingelhutz: Mr. Davidson bought a piece of land there for the same reason I
I think that Mike Klingelhutz bought his piece of land. To have a place to
build his house.
Mayor Hamilton: I would just like to comment that Bill's comments in no way x I
reflect the rest of the Council's feelings about Al Klingelhutz' feelings on
this piece of property.
Councilman Johnson moved, Mayor Hamilton seconded to approve the preliminary
plat for Hawks Hill pursuant to the City Manager's recommendations. All voted
in favor and motion carried. I

recommendation from the Community Center Task Force this evening. We have the
Trail Plan and Lake Ann improvements by the Park and Recreation Commission and a
