pot hole materials and explained that he followed the truck and watched the employees do the work.

Monique Walters, 5404 Kimball Avenue, explained that she appreciates elected officials working on
this process. She stated that it is unfortunate to turn rich Iowa soil into a development, that she
hopes to see that the plat actually completed as R-1, and that safety is the most important issue as
this development is planned. She further asked that the council table the request until the study is
complete.

Buzz Anderson commented that he is open to having someone else pay for the traffic study if that
would help rule out any favor to him. He stated that optimism is faith that leads to innovation to
achievement and to prosperity if we don't let the voices of doom and gloom defeat this.
