M.A1`dY OF THE THINGS I HAVE HEARD HAVE CONCERNED ME AND THE OTHER COUNCILr4EMBERS, ON SOME OCCASSIONS THE MISINFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION HAS AMAZED ME. IT IS NOT, WAS NOT, AND WILL NOT BE THE INTENTION OF THIS COUNCIL TO PURPOSELY DO HARM TO ANY OF OUR CITIZENS, AND WE CONSIDER EVERYONE IN OUR FENCELINE AS OUR CITIZENS,THAT'S WHY WE RESPOND TO YOUR POLICE EMERGENCIES, YOUR FIRE EMERGENCIES AND PROVIDE PARKS FOR YOUR USE. IT HAS TRULY SADDENED ME TO SEE PEOPLE WHO CLAIM TO BE FROM OWASSO BEGIN TO POINT ACCUSING FINGERS AT THIS FINE TOT~N SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU OPPOSE THIS ANNEXATION. COMPLAINTS ABOUT OUR POLICE, FIRE AND OTHERS ARE COrn*nONPLACE IN ANNEXATION DISCUSSIONS. THESE ARE THE VERY PEOPLE WIiO SEt:VE YOU - REGARDLESS OF WHERE YOU LIVE.

I SO MOVE TO DEI•dY ":s-iE PROPOSED ANNEXATION AND DIRECT THE ANNEXATION COMMITTEE TO NOT FL"RTHER CONSIDER FORCED ANNEXATION "UNTIL SUCH TIME AS DIRECTED BY TIIE CITY COUNCIL.
