Said ordinance amendment would permit facilities for the raising of animals for research purposes in the Industrial Park. The Hearing was opened at 7:30 P.M.. The legal notices of the Hearing were read into the record. The Hearing had been properly called. PUBLIC HEARING AMEND 'ORDINANCE SEX::. 10.19 INDUSTRIAL PARK The C:i/ty Administrator explained that all of the people who had registered to s~ak at the meeting would be allowed to do so, an indiVlidual would be requested to limit their cooments to 5 minutes, with a 10 minute time limit for anyone representing a group or organization. Everyone in the audience would be given the opportunity to present their views. Mr. Larry Rasmussen fran Pain Control, Inc. began the Hearing by stating that the proposed facility was not a Laboratory but a facility for raising minimal diseased cats which would be sold to Government Institutions, Private, and public institutions such as Universities and Laboratories. The facility is under strict regulation of state and federal government. The Mayor stated that the Industrial Park Advisory Board is in support of this proposal. He also read letters of support fran the Chanber of Coomerce and the Kiwanis Club. The Hearing was then opened to the people who wished to speak. EIWin Schnirring: I am in support of this proposal, I think it would be a Breach of Faith if the City did not allow this facility, as the purpose of the Industrial Park was to encourage industry in Hastings. Mr. Erickson is doing a fine job in praroting the Industrial Park. lEnore Gergen: We have to have the raising of animals for research. This is important in the training of Veterinarians as well as lX>ctors, to have animals for testing. Diana Wi ttkopf : I have been involved in lab research and much of the research is required by government. Special animals are required for this purpose. Sandra Weinberg: I am opposed to this project. There are alternatives avail- able for research other than using animals. I am against those who breed animals for profit. Ted Voss: I have reservations about this facility. I am not against animal research but concerned about needless research, that alternative sources should be considered. lX>lores Moeller: of industry. I have Ii ved in Hastings 25 years and I am against this type James Gubluff: The actual benefits derived fran animal research is not known. I am strongly against this proposal. 108 Lisa Kodellic: No one knows where the animals go and what they are really used for. I am strongly against this facility. Joy Donovan: I abhor vivisection on animals, they cannot speak for them- selves but they should not be treated in this manner. '!bere are alternatives available for research that.."should be used. Leona Schutt: I do not think that people fran out of town should interfere in this issue and I would rather have research done on animals than humans. Ray Solac: The issue of animals for research is a concern of people other than the City of Hastings. The concern of this many POOple is very real. Howard Goldman: Many research projects are unneccesary. You should study this issue very carefully before making a decision. I am not against animal research but against needless projects for the sake of research and not for the results to be gained. Dr. John McCardle: There is no needcror l1X)re animals for research, this is becaning a thing of the past. Facili ties for growth of tissue cultures should be built rather than breeding of cats. There are other al ternati ves . Ruth Fetler: '!bere must be better industries who would locate in Hastings than a facility for breeding cats. I am opposed to this project. Gayle Erickson: I have lost a daughter and a grandaughter, but they would not have even been given a chance for life were it not for animal research.
