<br />Councilwoman Morris <br /> <br />Motion to Table Ordinance #774 <br /> <br />Councilman Leary <br /> <br />10/5/82 <br /> <br />Page -14- <br /> <br />that if this Industrial Revenue Bond were <br />to be approved, it would be a travesty of <br />justice per se to offer the Mesa residents <br />as a sacrificial lamb to bring in a few <br />revenue dollars to the City. He full well <br />understood the predicament the City was in. <br />He would encourage Neodata to locate else- <br />where within the boundaries of the City rather <br />than to continue with the current proposal. <br />He commended Council on their sense of public <br />duty; but also asked them to certainly consider <br />all the other residents that have been neglected <br />in this whole issue; and as a Mesa resident <br />and there is a significant number of them. <br />He added there is also a large number of <br />residents throughout the City that are also <br />opposed to the proposal.

C. Nielsen <br />Industrial Revenue Bonds until there is some <br />legal determination on the current litigation. <br /> <br />Commented therE~ might not be agreement on the <br />motion, and inquired of Attorney Rautenstraus <br />as an alternative, could we ask the Court <br />to expedite this issue. <br />Attorney Rautenstraus advised this was the <br />posture that it was in presently, and the <br />Court has done so. He felt there would be <br />a decision on some of the motions this week. <br />Councilman Leary then asked, if the ordinance <br />was approved on second reading and the Court <br />ruled in favor of the residents, this action <br />could be adopted anyway, aouldn't it? <br />Attorney Rautenstraus felt that it ~ould. How- <br />ever stated that he could not speak for the <br />
