Councilman Caldwell commented on rejection of annexation to the City of an area South of the City by recent ,election. It was his opinion that acceptance or rejection concerns only the residents of the area although ihe expressed concern regarding ill-informed and ill-advised statements by Al Goerg in making attack on the lcouncil and City Manager, thus indicating how misinformed he was. Mr. Goerg totally ignored the fact that lithe City had no voice in the matter, only to accept the petition and prepare a resolution to the County I Commissioners requesting an election, this due to the number of petitioners. As the City is required to pay , . , ithe expense of the election as required by State Statutes, it was the opinion of Mr. Caldwell that further requests for annexation to the City will be viewed rather cooly.

Police and Fire protection provided in the City is paid, maintained and operated by tQXes paid by the residents of the City. Mr. Goel'9 apparently feels he' is en- titled to all rights and privileges enjoyed by residents of the City without the awkward necessity of paying for them. Mr. Caldwell expressed dislike in calling more attention than necessary to this person who seems to seek attention more than facts, but sInce his attack was Wholly unjustified, the matter should be mentioneCl. He assured that this is his own opinion and does not necessarily represent the views of other Council membePs. The Manager also stated objections to Mr. Goerg's statement relative to prestige or betterment gained by a City Manager who was in a CitY which had gained population due to annexation of areas. This statement was completelY in error, Further. that he in no way sponsored the annexation movement or worked directly for it ,other than to aid those who asked official help. Councilman Haguewood cited the proposition as being defeated by only about seventy vot es and it was his opinion that the people might have another look at annexat ion at a later date.
