Allocco stated for the record that Damien Gilliams, owner of Paradise Marina, requested he become involved in order to reverse the denial of his project at the July 25th P&Z meeting. Mr. Gilliams said two commission members, Mr. Morrison and Mr. Oakes, were at a local restaurant opening, along with city staff, and discussed his project prior to its presentation at the meeting. He also said he had an affidavit signed by Mr. Morrison stating this fact. Mr. Oakes responded that he and Mr. Morrison were just checking out the new Beef O'Bradys and having lunch. He saw city staff also having lunch and introduced them to Mr. Morrison. He and Mr. Morrison sat at opposite ends of the two tables and has no recollection of any discussion with any staff member or Mr. Morrison in reference to Mr. Gilliams' project.

Mr. Stringer commented that he heard Ms. Grohall advise they should listen to the evidence that comes before them and staff is recommending in their report to deny the project. Mr. Stringer added that in a quasi- judicial hearing, the commission is to always listen to the evidence and staff always makes a recommendation on every project that comes before them.

On page 3 of Chairman Matters sentence 6 at the end of the sentence is stated "or Mr. Morrison". This is incorrect. I did NOT include "or Mr. Morrison" in my statement that evening. I had no conversations at anytime prior, during or afterwards with Mr. Morrison about Mr. Gilliams project, and I stated that publicly that evening. What I did say is I had no recollection of any dissussions with any "staffmember" in reference to Mr. Gilliams project. There should be no doubt or question in anyone's mind that I had any conversation at anytime with Mr. Morrison about this project. I did not. Please correct this error in the minutes. I would also appreciate it if this e-mail could be presented publicly at our next P & Z meeting and read into the record. Sincerely, John Oakes How low will we go? Check out Yahoo!
