MORI: "!.~ay I make a comaeat, Mike? When yon accuse u~ of Hot going to t~e people~ I ti~ink the people is everybody. The people isn ' t ~,~i.~.:e Hen::2 · The people isn ' t oniv two or three pecp!e that might show up at Council ~-leeting. The people is about 22,000 oeoo!e in the total community and we are representing the total people -- no vested interests." HEMP: "'l appreciate that poin[ but --'what you people haven suceeded in doing nor has any Council as far as i been able to determine in the recent past, the thing you haven't done, is gone into the area that's affected. MORI: "I live in the area that's affected." HE~: "! know ',;ou do and occasionally I see you across-the isla~d. 'Lui% the vast majority of the people'that have something to say are not in favor of MORI: The people that have said something live in Vnl Vista and they are not in the area tha~'s affected. HE~: Do .you think that Val Vista is the only area that' s concerned about what happens? Thank you." ~ID: I would like to make one comment also. I resent the inference of having applications, in your terms, .as "greased'. This application has followed the precise legal process that is prescribed by. 1-aw. It has fol- lowed appropriate public hearings. The implication that there is any coezsicn one ~z~y or another, is not well founded. HE~: I certainly respect your view, sir. However, in stepping beyond my. first and so far, lasting com~mittment to keep my mouth shut about a few things you and other people in town might not know about -- one .ex-PlLnning Co~issioner told me cn the 8~. of January, 1971, stand- ing on my property, shortly after the Arco settlement was finished, that hn lost $15,000 in com~missicn when ~ey didn't build the Enco. This year, the last day of the said City Plannir~G Com. missioner's term of office, ~ his ole con'.mittment before he retired or was reolaced, s was to cat that Ence aDoredcad - which it wasl ~]ow', I don't know how vie ted or mnveild you want it, but that's the sort of thing that goes on within the legal hearings. ~ID: I'm not going to debate that or argue it - all that i'm saying - -- HEMP: Yes, it followed exactly the legal requirements --- ~ID: and !'m also saying that the five gentlemen who sit up here voted on that to the best of their conscience and with ~'he f?.c~-~ ~'~ .... = ~arn at ~and anti the teatit.near ~'~ was given a% public hearings -- i resent the imp!icaticn to menE3ers of Iocni coyeminent that everybody is in · somebody else ' s pocket. Tibet' s one thing I ' m not going to stand for as far as testimony or conCments t.l~at are given from. the audience. KINNEY: Are you saying, P~ike, that there was a direct conflict interest on the Dart of this Planning Comm~issioner? HE~9: Yes, I am. I'm saying that the said Planning Com~.issioner told me me-scnal!y, i:~ a discussion at ~v service statioz~, that there was a considerable fee envo].ved. I-low, I didn't ever rAean to brine this um in t. estimcnv Drier to during the fern. erich or s{~ttiir~G of this wko].e matter. In that respect it was cc~mpiete].y above board a].i tile 7. 7/17/72
