" To "They Call Me Gumby": This is a move it or lose it circumstance. Like if it was in the middle of future road. Coming through like it or not. If the city owns the very property the sign is on, then the city can make the party move it or lose it at that party's loss including the cost of removal. The sooner this gets done, the sooner the project gets done. I just wonder if this will delay when the TIF for this project gets repaid? "

" 'The Nine'! I could recite them before the vote. But wait, I will gather the voting flow of the last important projects and display them on an understandable flow chart, in media outlets, before the election, with our Mayoral lineup. By the way let's talk about two 'housing' projects. One out on B when the ran the devloper literally ragged, and one on the Northside. Knocked off the table recently by Czar Kirch's unilateral and powerful swipe. Hey, how about a Planning Committee view? Now, there is an idea! "

" You gotta love this. Somehow we have Kami attempting to change direction and history of this project. It failed in Ona, it failed at Hooter's. They knew the sign was there, they infused a $100k road to nowhere to get around State Law, and now after our Trillion dollar bailout, $45mil jail, and $18.5mil for HVAC (nobody know how much is for air cond?) , $15.9 mil for "700" LHI employees in Building One in a meeting room/warming kitchen we are going to contribute state monies we contribute to, that sidestep local tax coffers, to contribute to the legal fight between one of highest property tax payers for over 60 years??????? Go get em Kami! "

" I'm sorry Krusty but the city owns the land in question or else they could not have had the tenants removed already. The billboard must go. There are an excessive amount of them on the Causeway and the need to reduce the number is there. The sign interferes with the city's right to zone and control commerce within its jurisdiction. This is under homerule and Collins would lose in that kind of case. "

" Then add to that, Park/Rec Director Carlyon is involved in a $35k Audit of Pettibone Campground that has been looming for over three years. Why did Carlyon 'order' surveying at the entrance to the Campground, in which we are led to believe as the surveyors statements were about 'signs' as well? But we can condemn Patros 12 acres to garner 3 acres of buildable land???? When you can figure these guyz out, let me know! Does nothing FLOW for this Administration easily? "

" First, Farmer should have recused himself. His wife works for Addis, Addis represents NSD. Second the TIF money is our WI tax money. Not really intended to condemn signs. Now, does this mean that the $100k road to nowhere and a swamp viewing deck is not needed to sidestep State laws in regard to a condemantion such as this one. So now what? Taxpayer costs for a swamp platform and street, and attorney fees. Didn't the 6 figure 'Planning'/Inspection Czar see the sign before? Tell me this, Why can we spend this kind of money to condemn a sign, and we cannot logically flow to condemn 60' of Barron Island owned by the Royal Family for a project? "

" I do not know if Ms. Farmer is employed by Mr. Addis, but I do know that Farmer is a business partner of Addis in several ventures!You are right, Farmer should not only abstain from all discussion on this matter, but according to Roberts rules of order, should completely excuse himself from the room! His illeagel behavior in the past, is that he will participate in the discussion on a matter in which he has a personal or monetary interest then turn off his attendence light an d walk to the back of the room.

" Do you honestly believe an amendment drafted by Collins Sign is designed to help you win your case? Addis asked the council.
So is PA saying that an amendment drafted by NSD is designed to help the City? It appeats that what he is saying is that Collins will be taking us to court and that the City should pay for it.
And how about maybe Farmer withdrawing from participation. Isn't Mrs. Farmer employed by Addis? "

" I would like to see which way each council person voted. The city is going to end up spending lots of our tax money again on stupidity. I hate billboards, but it is on private property and the city has no right to condemn it. Who will the city condemn next for private gain? "
