?JR 4 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING APRIL 28, 1970 ORDINANCE (Gilmer Park Annexation Ordinance, Cont'd.) The Council reconvened at 10:45 p.m. Mr. Sigmund Kulik, 18823 Madison Road, who said he did not live within the area of the proposed annexation, spoke against the annexation. Attorney Joseph Roper, representing the Gilmer Park residents, said a halt should be called in annexations and stated he would learn of every annexation pending in court and cautioned that it will be a number of years before they are disposed of. He claimed the Council ignored the views of the Area Plan Commission Report of Nov. 1966. He said the sewers can be installed without annexation and stated the City cannot annex to get revenue. Councilman Laven said the City is going to meet its responsibility in this direction and that this is definitely a responsibility of the Council and reminded Mr. Roper and the residents that the Council feels this annexation is for the best interests of the city and the entire community. Councilman Allen said she supports an orderly annexation but that it must be done slowly. She further stated that she will support this annexation at the proper time but that this is not the time and it will only add to the burdens of the people. Councilman Laven made a motion, seconded by Councilman Reinke, that the Ordinance go to the Council as favorable. Motion carried. There being no further business to be- considered before the Committee of the Whole, Chairman Grounds entertained a motion to rise and report to the Council. Councilman Laven so moved, seconded by Councilman Reinke Motion carried. Time: 11:40 p.m. ATTEST: • T ITY CLE s APPROVED: % < _ � 1'- --, CHAIRMAN
