Could the 70 missing pages be here?

There is a lot of fact checking we could do, but let's start at the beginning:

For those of you who attended the Oct. 14, Open House and Public Comment.   
If you kept your sheets supplied to you by the city...
 Frequently Asked Questions - Downtown Waterfront Amendments
"The first FAQ...Why has the City initiated these amendments?    In March of 2012, the city began the downtown visioning initiative with the direction to develop a vision statement for downtown and to look for ways to change the city's zoning regulations to provide flexibility in the regulations that might incentive reinvestment in our downtown buildings while preserving the character and history of Gig Harbor.  These amendments came from this visioning process"
In February of 2012 emails began with the David Boe Associates, architectural firm, in Tacoma.  The above drawing was supplied to the city in February of 2012, and emails of Feb 2012 show the design for 2 story, flat roof buildings between The Tides and The Greet Turtle, on the waterside of Harborview Dr.  These are sites A,B,C,D.  You will notice site E, which is on the uphill side of Harborview Dr and bordered by Soundview. 
The above ought to make you very concerned:
..... concerned enough to send an email to the list of folks on the right 
and ask them where those 70 pages are?
.....Concerned enough to attend the Oct. 28th, Gig Harbor City Council meeting
.....Concerned enough for a low vote count for Mayor and City Council members.  
A low vote count is the only thing that will send a message to the City Council.
Investigate for yourself, Decide for yourself, no write in's, just leave City Offices blank.
Monday, Oct. 28; 5:30pm  Gig Harbor City Council Meeting
Each of us, together will save the Gig Harbor Waterfront!!! 

All the above information was obtained through the Freedom of Information Act...except for those 70 pages, withheld.
