Councilman Hollingsworth made the following statement:
"I would again like to speak against this motion and request that the Council consider that we
will meet our obligations at all times. That the people voted for the Civic Center, the Air-
port, the Library and the Canyon Lakes and the Council should do them but should do them in a
very prudent manner, carefully as they go, be committed to finish them, but finance them when
the time comes and I propose to vote no on second reading as I did on first reading and I ask
the majority of the Council to join me in this effort."
The vote was taken on the above motion and Ordinance No. 6721 was passed on second and final
reading by the following vote: Mayor Turner, Councilwoman Jordan and Councilman Baker voting
Yea, Councilman Hollingsworth and Councilman Campbell voting Nay. Mayor Turner stated that
Ordinance No. 6721 passed by a majority of three to two.
