PARKING LOT JUST PURCHASED -
Councilman Happ showed Mayor Bjorneby and Councilmen a drawing prepared by Aselt.
City Engineer Manning showing parking spaces at a 450 angle. She said the lot
would be entered from the alley with the exit on the avenue. The north side of the
lot would be used for certain city officials and the south side would be leased.
The leased space would be leased for $12.00 per month for each space. Councilman
Happ moved acceptance of the committee report. Seconded by Councilman Miron.
Carried.
' Councilman Happ moved authorisation of the paving of the lot. Seconded by Council-
man Sampson. Carried.
RETURN STREET TO PROPER CONDITION -
Councilman Happ ask that a letter be sent to the people at the Glory Days Emporium
requesting them to return the street to proper condition. The street was damaged
during construction of their curb and sidewalk.
SALE OF CITY PROPERTY -
Councilman Knapp reported that Francis Wall who was going to purchase the small
piece of property from the city said that when he found that he was to pay cost
of title insurance, that the maximum he will pay for the property is $350.00.
Councilman Knapp moved the price be adjusted to $350.00 and buyer furnish own
title insurance with a deed subject to easements for the City. (sewer) Seconded
by Councilman Miron. Carried.
PARKS - PROGRESS REPORT -
Councilman Daley reported that in Woodland Park the site is being prepared for
the new building. The storm sewer for Woodland Park is coming along real good.
Hawthorne Park -'American Asphalt is preparing the site for the tennis courts.
' Black dirt for fill is being hauled to the Babe Ruth field. Dick Wyman is
preparing some information for what they would like for Griffin Park. There is a
possible upgrade of Peterson Courts with the possibility of the school district
paying one half the cost. We are planning with the County recreation department
to have a meeting of tennis people throughout the county to see if there is enough
interest for a tennis court complex. Our current BOR projects are nearing
completion and it is time to start thinking about projects for future BOR funding.
COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT PLAN -
Councilmen Schwartz reported that this is a basic type of plan and there are
provisions for review every couple of years and can be amended and recommended
the plan be adopted. Councilman Miron urged adoption of the plan and referred
to the years of work that has gone into the development of the plan.
Councilman Slater reported that he chaired the last public hearing on the Comp-
rehensive Development Plan while still a member of the planning board, and the main
concern at that time was the "circulation system". The by-pass - whether it was
to be Woodland Avenue or Willow Glen Drive - this has all been removed from the
plan. Councilman Sliter said he agreed with Councilman Miron that a lot of work has
gone into the plan.
Councilman Sliter moved acceptance of the Comprehensive Development Plan. Seconded
by Councilman Miron. Carried.
MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS
PARKING LOT -
Councilman Haarr said that he found it utterly amazing that the City can find the
finances to buy a $25,000.00 parking lot and get into the rental parking business -
so to speak - and to facilitate the spaces for a few selected city officials, after
a great period of time, money and study has been spent to acquire additional park-
ing space within a close proximity, of which all but a few of the essential city
employees could comute back and forth - a block and a half - and I find further
that in deference to other situations, which I think exist in the downtown area,
mainly the lack of ability to run a sweeper down the alleys of our Main Street,
upon which are based a lot of our tax producing revenue, and likewise the most
242
recent episode of filling the holes in these alleys with dirt, so to speak, then
all within a moments jesture, we can acquire a lot and call for bids for paving,
for what I feel is essentially non -essential parking on at least half of that lot.
I think that sometimes the buggy runs in front of the horse, and I do not think
that possibly in the times that we are in now, that this is a good thing to have
done - in light especially, of First Avenue West. If we have this kind of money
available, why have not bids been let to complete the surfacing of First Avenue
West? I think the inconvenience and loss -of business on the businesses located
on First Avenue West is far greater than the advantages derived from the purchase
and paving of this lot adjacent to the city property.
