Regular Council Meeting November 16, 2015 Page 15 required mandatory reports. He said he wanted to follow 100% of the contract. Mayor Hashmi asked if he wanted to make a motion. Council Member Clifford made a Motion that they follow 100% of the contract including the requirement for mandatory reporting. Mayor Hashmi questioned if that was 100% of the contract. Council Member Clifford said exactly. Council Member Lancaster seconded the Motion. Mayor Hashmi called for a vote. Council Member Pickle said he was sort of confused, because if they could not find the minutes of meetings, then how could they be sure they could find these reports that might have been turned in or lost. Mr. Harper said the contract was to invest a certain amount of money, create a certain amount of jobs, be abated for a certain amount of time, or years. He said he could prove they did that and that they were in compliance. He said he could prove that they created the jobs, that he could prove they made the investment, and that he could prove what the taxes were or should have been. He said he thought that that was really easy for all of them to create, even if they did not have the compliance report. Council Member Clifford inquired if he could prove the sworn documents were submitted as required by the contract. Mr. Harper said he had certified letters that went to the city, the county and PJC and that it was not his fault that the city could not find them. Council Member Clifford asked Mr. Harper if he was saying that the city lost the initial reporting document, at which time Mr. Harper asked him if he had an agenda. Council Member Clifford asked Mr. Harper if the city lost the first reporting document and the second reporting document the third, the fourth, the fifth, the sixth and the seventh. He further questioned Mr. Harper if he was alleging that all of those documents were lost. Mr. Harper asked Council Member Clifford if he was alleging that they did not send the reports. Council Member Clifford said he did not know and either Mr. Harper did not send them or the city held them up. Mayor Hashmi said he was going to stop this. Mayor Hashmi said they had a motion on the floor. He asked Council Member Clifford to restate his motion. Council Member restated his motion to go through the 2004 contract and completely enforce it. Council Member Lancaster seconded the motion. Motion carried, 6 ayes — 0 nays, with Council Member Plata not casting a vote. Council Member Plata said he did not want to vote. 22. Discuss disannexation requests received from Dennison (Lot 14, Wildwood Estates) and Kear (Lot 16, Wildwood Estates), and provide direction to city staff. Mayor Hashmi said that when the applicants on Airport Road were disannexed, there was confusion as to whether or not Mr. Denison's application for disannexation was granted and he had re- applied for disannexation. Mr. Godwin said staff was seeking direction how to proceed. City Attorney Kent McIlyar said if Council wanted to move forward with these disannexations, that two public hearings would need to be scheduled. It was a consensus of City Council to move forward with these two disannexations.
