Mr. Sawyer stated that an officer told him if he landed his airplane there again, his airplane would :be impounded. Mr. Sawyer asked for the particular law he was breaking and he would stop. Mr. Sawyer stated, "I think we are going way overboard on an activity that's convenient for me that really does noit endanger anybody and that nobody's complained about." Anderson stated than his only concern is that this is only the beginning of a larger problem and that it should be dealt with immediately. "What we are dealing with this evening is strictly an opportunity for anyY~ody who wants to fly any type of craft within the City limits, the opportunity to get approval because it does not deny that opportunity, so that: opportunity would exist for you as well." Mr. Sawyer asked if the restriction within the proposed ordinance on taxiing was necessary. Anderson stated he felt it was and that it is prudent for the government of this community to deal with the question, allow for a procedure that can be reviewed and followed. Mayor Fauson thanked. Mr. Sawyer for his remarks and also informed him that although Mr. Sawyer felt his problem was with City administration, that in fact Mr. Stahl had informed him of the situation where upon he expressed his concern to have the matter addressed.
