Resolution paused roll call 4 aye vote. Councilman Hunt requested he be allowed to read a statement denying his accusations during the December 3, 1968 campaign for election of two councilman. His statement was as follow: Last minute charges against me were impossible i:o anger before election day. but I would like to clear my name by means of this stateovint : Charge it was that I vas responsible for selling the liquor store to the second Ugh bidder, and that the council did not discuss this action. On May 9, 1966, the bids were opened for the sale of the liquor store. The Council directed the Administrator to tally the bidu and the Police Dept. to report pertinent infomation about the bidders to the Council. On May 16 the bids were discussed. Then the Chief of Police presented reports from the Credit Bureau, Sheriff Ed Ryan, and the Bureau of Griminsl Apprehen- sion. These reports contained the information that the first place bidder war a partner in a Minneapolis liquor operation. This, along with the information in other reports submitted by Claude Lien, is why I voted for the second place bid. The liquor ordinance in Plymouth prohibits the issuing of more than one liquor license to anyone., The vote was 5 to O to sell the store to biddat 12. This bidder did build my house some 3 years prior to the selling of the liquor store. This cer- tainly shouldn't have disqualified him. Other bidders were acquaintances of some or all of the Councilmen. All of the liquor store information is available at the Village Fall for you, the ditiaan, to road. Charge 12 stated that I have voted to have flan B Government after the people had rejected it by my voting for a Clark- Administrator Ordinance. This ordinance was passed several months prior to my election to the Council three years ago. Records will show that I opposed Plan B Government, and still do. Charge 13 stated that village trucks hauled dirt to my property. In June 1966, Street Superintendent James Gruber, prepared a report for improving drainage and for graveling Vicksbu:eg Lane and Peony and Troy Lanes north of County Road /9, and for Dunkirk Lane between Highway 155 and County Road 19. Arrange- ments were made by Mr. Cruber to dump the spoil an a property close to County Road 09 and Vicksburg Lane after having deter- mined that it was not desirable as fill for ouY park. bquip- ment was rented and the street department crew set out to do the job. On Monday morning ML. Gruber Called me at work and Informed me that the man who orirYinala.y said that he wou:ld take the spoil had gotten four to live loads of it and would not aci ept any more :ecause of °;he dabris, such as barbett wire, e.osts, tree stumps and sod, which wai in it. I informed -4r. Geuber that I could not leave work, be t that I would attempt RESOLUTION /68-268 PROJECT 68-6C STREET LIGHT PREL- INARY REPOfAT RE: COUNCILMAN HUNT STATENO 2-wojf oele 41// 4 c Council feting Minutes - Dec. 9. 1968 - Page 5 to make some arrangements that evening for places to dump. I also told him that if he couldn't find any place else that he could dump it in the low-lying swamp on my land which was close to the project. I returned hose to find that they had dumped at my place. I immediately made arrangementa with several property owners in the area to allow us to dua.p the debris4aden dirt. The Village paU nearly $5,000.00 to dump this save kind of material when Zachary Lane was built, and the streets mentioned were three time as long as Zachary Lane. 1 believe that I saved the Village $10,000.00 to 15,000.00 by working with the property owners to secure dumping privileges for this matarial. I spent my own money to have a bulldozer Lury the debris dumped at my house because of the danger the ;posed to my horses. My conscience is clear, as I have dote nothini of which I am ashamed. I have tried to serve Plymouth well for the past three yearn, and shall continue to work for this Village in every way that I can to prevent this s=11, negative group from Impeding recessary progress."
