<br />MR. NELSON: <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />MR. NELSON: <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />~. TEN EYCK: <br /> <br />"We want flood control, don't get me wrong <br />.on that but I think we have other ways to do <br />it. Now we haven't been advised where these <br />lines and borders are at all." <br /> <br />"You have got two gentlemen over there that I. <br />you can talk with and they will communicate with <br />your water attorneys so that you will know that <br />and there won't be any problems." <br /> <br />"Thank you." <br /> <br />"Any further discussion on the motion? <br />All in favor will signify by saying 'aye': <br />opposed - the resolution is carried."
