This is a school matter that has nothing to do with the City. <br /> <br />Mr. Clausen noted he is not a contractor for the school and that he is simply a school <br />employee of the school district. <br /> <br />Mr. Clausen told the public that they need to get their facts straight. <br /> <br />Mr. Clausen told the public that none of them had tried to contact him to discuss these <br />matters. <br /> <br />Mr. Clausen noted he spoke at the Planning and Zoning meeting because he was asked a <br />question. That was the only time he spoke during that meeting. He further noted that <br />people were rude and disruptive at that meeting and it was hard for the Planning and <br />Zoning Commission to conduct their business at hand with the disruptions. <br /> <br />Mr. Clausen noted that he worked for a governmental entity and there was no state law or <br />attorney general opinion that required him to file a conflict of interest form and he has not <br />done so. <br /> <br />Lastly, Mr. Clausen noted his disappointment with people using this forum to run for public <br />office. <br />
