There's an item (on February 1, 1990) concerning the field at St. Edward's for the Dallas Cowboys and I was told at the last meeting, and it's probably as much my fault as anybodys, that it would be pulled for for discussion and I did not notice it had passed on the consent motion. I would like, at this point, to record my vote as No, if that would be agreeable with the Council, with a note there should have been some discussion. It was a 50% overrun when we were told it would be $200,000.00 maximum to do this." Mayor Cooke said, "All right, show Councilmember Barnstone voting No on that item."
