3 <br /> Mr. Brown said there are no shortages of opinions in the community on a n <br />easement versus sale of property for the Meadowcreek Parkway. Mr. Brown said the <br />majority of Council feel the need for an opinion from outside the community on this issue <br />and have asked him to ask the Attorney General for an opinion. Mr. Brown noted th is <br />will not be a binding opinion. He said there is no time frame for receiving this opinion. <br />He said the letter to the Attorney General must state the City Attorney's own opinion of <br />the law. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lynch asked who directed him to request the opinion, and Mr. Brown said the <br />majority of Councilors who support the Meadowcreek Parkway. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lynch said this is the first time he has heard about this and questioned asking <br />this Attorney General for an opinion. <br /> <br /> Ms. Richards said Mr. Kilgore is the only Attorney General we have and there is <br />no where else to go in terms of an Attorney General's opinion. <br /> <br /> Responding to a question from Mr. Cox, Mr. Brown said that Council is free to <br />pursue other legal opinions if they desire. <br /> <br /> Mr. Cox said he would prefer a non - bia sed, non - political opinion on this. He said <br />he share's Mr. Lynch concern about going to a political appointment for an opinion. <br /> <br /> Mr. Schilling noted that the Attorney General is elected the same as Councilors. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lynch said he is embarrassed for Ms. R ichards and Mr. Caravati that they <br />would go to the same Attorney General that has refused contraceptives for college <br />students. <br /> <br /> Ms. Richards said this is a procedure many have asked us to seek and it is the <br />legal procedure local governments have available for constitutional opinions. <br /> <br /> Mr. Cox said the matter will be taken up at the end of the meeting, and he <br />requested that Ms. Richards forward the requests she has received for this opinion. <br /> <br />CONSENT AGENDA <br /> <br /> <br /> On motion by Mr. Lynch, seconded by Ms. Richard s, the following consent <br />agenda items were approved by the following vote.
