You explain in detail what my question involved, but the summary of the answer was inadequate and misleading. Your statement of my answer was as follows: Terry Scarlata H...asked the Board about obtaining specification for the lighting; how much money has been spent pertaining to the Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification District; and who provided the funds." This was a responsible interpretation, but the following is incorrect: "Mr. Kipton D. Lockcuff, P.E., Director, Public Works/Utility Department, along with several Board Members, answered Ms. Scarlata's questions. Discussion." The purpose of the minutes is so that someone can read what transpired and your answer would mislead them. In reading your statement, a reasonable person would conclude that I received a direct response to my question and that would be a lie. I did not get a direct answer. What happened was that my question was referred to Kipton Lockcuff and he said he would have an answer for me if I got back to him. This is important because Mr. Lockcuff still hasn't responded to my question though I went through the trouble of putting it down in writing. I respectfully request that you amend the minutes, or include this as an appendum to the minutes of the July 6 meeting. Please amend it as follows: instead of "along with several Board Members, answered Ms. Scarlata's question." please change it to "several Board Members referred the question to Kipton Lockcuff and Mr. Lockcuff said he would have an answer for me if I got back to him.H I noticed that you did an addendum for Mr. McLemore, so I don't see why this can't be done for anyone in ~inter spri~r -- tOi be fair. \;{AJv0 &tliJj;u1t~ Terry S~lata
