for the forty-eigm hour delay I t
Monday w tha t the council did not
get the final terms of the contract
. until after the business meeting.
At the time, yor Porter said the
terms of the contract were
rencgotil� because of concerns
raised by members of the council.
Councilman Ross bad said that
two cres'ofthe 20 slated for tbe final
project, would be given away free to
tbe Highland P rk Horizon
Developer Corporation and that
while the city' promised the
corporation exclusive rights to
gambling in the city, it did not give
any promise that Zeff ould not set
up gambling in a nearby city.
Council Pre ident Pro Tem
Christine Franklin h'd expres ed
concern that the original contract

additional 18 acres. The new
contract indicated Zeff would pay
$100,000 an acre for the whole
project
Franklin . d the fact that Zeff
WI ready to ra: e the price so
quickly to uch an extent showed the
value of the land and the failure of the
city negotiations to come up with a
good deal.

Councilwom n Greta Johnson
warned that the land in question for
the casino had been formerly et
aside in an agreement with HUD for
hOUSIng. WIthout HUD approval,
sh stated it could not be used for
ino gambling. -
Franklin predicted that if the
contract was igned without HUD
agreement, Zeff would be able to sue
the city, aying directly to him,
"knowing you as I do, you would do
it. "
Franklin noted that in the new
contract Zet! agreed to "hold" the
city "harmless", but al 0 declared
that the land was "unencumbered",
which could imply the city misled
him over the tate of the land and
could provide grounds suit.
She noted, that si milar
technical: tie in language gave
Chry ler a loophole to move out of
Highland Park.
Franklin also expres ed concern
about statements in the new contract
saying that Highland Park Horizons
would only be required to reveal all
the members of the corporation
dealing wi th the project months after
the agreement was made.

Another source of concern was a
tatement by Highland Par
