LAND DEVELOPMENT - GOLF COURSE: Mr. Tidrick called attention to recent newspaper articles where it stated that the City Council couldrinot answer questions on Mr. Schor's questionaire. He felt abetter choice of words would have been would not. Further, just because the City paid $10,000 for a study didn't necessarily mean that all the answers were in that study. Mr. Tidrick felt the City Council had been unjustly criticized for their handling of the proposed multi-purpose convention center and summed up his feelings with a No, Yes, No - No, I don't have facts that Mr. Hendler's Phase I is faulty; Yes, there are descrepancies if I wanted to look for them, and No, I don't intend to work at it.

Mr. Denney expressed concern over tactics used by Mr. Hendler.- It was his contention that when you pay for a survey, it is yours to use even though Mr. Hendler disagrees. Mr. Schor commended Mr. Tidrick for opening up and stated he was puzzled how a project could materialize with support of 6 to 1 and then digress to 5 to 2. He reiterated that his questionaire was not meant to embarrass anyone but merely get answers out into the open and see if everyone understood.
