citizen participation has not been fully nit. <br /> There were no residents in that area when McCaslin <br /> was designed and now there are -- yet everything <br /> is "hardened into concrete' and the interests of <br /> the residents have not been truly addressed. <br /> tundley feels that possibly earlier meetings <br /> should have taken place to bettor inform citizens, <br /> however, KoCaslin has been platted for many years. <br /> Mayor tauson recommended to Council that the City <br /> not hault construction and continue to monitor <br /> progress of. the noise and possible construction of <br /> sound barriers if needed in the future. <br /> Mohr stated that people should realise although <br /> neighboring residents have concerns regarding <br /> their proximity to McCaslin -- it does not mean <br /> that it does not have an important part in the <br /> total comprehensive plan of the City which has <br /> been worked on comprehensively and very carefully <br /> for the past 15 years.

Anderson seconded adding <br /> that the City do what can be done within the <br /> 3 <br />
