ORAL PRESENTATIONS
113424 - Forest Dillavou, 1725 Huntington Road, stated that he wished to address an
important issue, that is treating all groups of people alike. Mr. Dillavou
stated that he watched the dog track users submit many studies and people had
an opportunity to express concerns. Mr. Dillavou commented that the dog track
issue had an economic impact study and two noise studies. Mr. Dillavou stated
that he watched the Lafayette School group, they had issues, but they didn't
get any studies and it was passed in three readings in one night. Mr. Dillavou
stated that before the city would give away the land, a list of investors was
required, but with the sale of the Klinefelter building, no list was required.
Mr. Dillavou stated that on the vote of the dog track issue, Councilperson
Getty abstained from voting, but on the Klinefelter issue everyone voted. Mr.
Dillavou stated that it seems to him that the city needs to be more fair.

for sixteen years of service to the city. Mayor Rooff stated that Dave is
