made at the previous meeting regarding purchasing of
advertising to publish the Council's response to an
advertisement. Bob Martin seconded the motion and it
passed unanimously.

advertising battle in the newspapers with opponents of the
Council. John Martin said he thought the Council's response
should be printed as a press release or a Letter to the Editor.
Floyd Oliver made a motion that the Council send the prepared
statement to all newspapers in Weld County on the Council 's
mailing list. The statement shall be sent as a press release
so the papers will do with it as they will. John Martin
seconded the motion. Bob White pointed out some necessary
corrections. With the permission of the second Floyd Oliver
changed his motion to say "send a prepared statement". The
motion carried.
