Regular Council Meeting December 8, 2014 Page 2 Mary Ann Campbell, 2552 Clark Lane — she said she had a problem with a chicken house located next to her business driveway. She said the chicken facility lacked the required 50 foot designation required in the Code. She also said that Mr. Jed Irwin thought the narrow strip of land belonged to him, but her Deed reflected that it belonged to the City. Louise Moseley, 3915 Shannon Dr. — she referenced the changing of the citizen's forum and said she would like an item on the agenda to address it. Mrs. Moseley also said Mr. Grubbs, Mr. Wilson and Mr. Brockman voted to stop the Defenbaugh investigation, and they had a conflict serving on PEDC because they were receiving abatements. She expressed appreciation for Rebecca Clifford and said the PEDC should be eliminated, because it had been a legal way to steal money. Ray Banks, 3450 Robin Road — he spoke about item 24, in that he said if what they were proposing was anything like what the city manager did in his last city, that it was unfair to tax the citizens for a storm water utility. He said property taxes should have been increased so those who were who had bigger income and larger residence could have paid accordingly instead of charging those who were living on less income in a smaller residence. Mr. Banks also spoke about item 25 and emphasized they need to be transparent in order to keep the citizens informed about what they are doing with regard to the 2015 bond program. Larry Schenk, 3765 Dawn Dr. — he said he had questions about item 22 and asked if he would be allowed to speak when Council reached that item. Mayor Frierson answered in the affirmative.
