Mr. Williams further commented that he is a county employee on leave for the purpose of voicing his opposition to this project and would take whatever consequences follow. Chairman Bird assured Mr. Williams that county employees never have to worry about voicing their opinions, and no retaliation would ever occur. Bob Schlitt, 505 66th Avenue, attended the meeting to hear the earlier discussion regarding the expansion of the urban service area which affects his property. He is also concerned about the water service because his property is across from Pine Tree Park Subdivision. He currently is appealing the County to change his zoning so he can sell a portion of his property. He is outside the urban service area and does not know if he will be able to receive water service or not. If he is assessed for the water service, he does not know if he will be able to sell a portion of his property to pay for that assessment. He wished to be kept informed and asked whether he will be allowed to attend the workshops. He favored the change to one unit per acre and the water line expansion. Glenn Schuessler, 6356 7th Place in Pine Tree Park, spoke in favor of the water expansion project. He did not sign Mr. Lockwood's petition and his immediate neighbors did not sign that petition.

He stated that there are quite a few signers of the petition who live out of town and do not know what is going on. They see a set amount of money and do not want to pay it.
