I MR. STAPLETON: MR. PETERSON: MR. STAPLETON: MR. BURR: I -...., .., This is not going to answer the operating problems of John Martin in connection . with penna- nent pool legislation but it is a first step - a very necessary first step, and I think we are taking a very shortsighted view of the entire problem if we table this proposal at this time and fail to give full consideration to the inter- ests of the people in having recreational space available in John Martin. That's my own posi- tion." "I'd like the Board to recognize that parlia- mentarian-wise we shouldn't be discussing this - having any further discussion on this motion. I'd like to stick by that unless somebody ob- jects. Mr. Peterson." "I'd like to speak on my motion, please. I'm not taking the position, and I don't think any member of this Board is taking the position at this time, that we are opposing this particu- larly. I think it's the lack of information. I realize it is impossible to incorporate in this legislation the operating principles of this project but on the other hand, I see no reason why this Board should not have available to it,.. before it takes action, the operating principles; how this project is going to be operated after it is constructed or after the pool has been established. Now I'm not opposed to this because I don't know enough about it at the present time to be opposed to it and I think there are a good many others the same way." "Mr. Burr, if you don't mind, let's vote on the motion." "Well, I would just like to state that I am not opposed to this permanent pool. I was merely bringing out the few things that should be pin- pointed and I was trying to get those details a little bit. I don't care to second a motion that was going to table it for any considerable time but I do think a little more time should be put in on it so we would know a few more of the principles. Maybe this lO,OOO or 20,000 feet will not be adequate. Then this is all for nothing."
