"~ j..-- - // , a:/( . <AJ Pat Fry, Minute Clerk / .~--- 5 We as councilors must think about what we are doing to those who serve at the request of the Mayor & Council. When we all agree on a selection, asks the person to serve and then change our minds without a clear reason then we have a problem. Years ago the City of Owasso changed each road, sidewalk, even City Hall & the Police station just by a new wind blowing in. The council had a problem of completing projects. It's not until lately that we have set courses & we have been true to those courses. I fear that we have moved & that troubles me. I ask that we all look deep within ourselves and ask why do we serve this great city? If it 'sfor anything other than the wishes of the citizens, I believe we mislead ourselves. More importantly, I believe we mislead the citizens we serve. Mike Helrn,/ / City Councilor, Ward 5 [flf',
