Seconded by Councilman Slater. Carried. CITY LOT PURCHASE - PARKING - Councilman Happ said. that for the record she would like to make one thing clear - - I think we were kind of chastised by the press and radio in the fact that the City pulled off all their crews for one whole day to take care of our parking lot which lies just south of the city water department building. I happened to be at the city hall that day, and one grader, one loader, and one truck was used for three hours only, and this equipment was not being used on First Avenue West because we had a hang up between the contractor and engineer to decide that the sewer and drain had to be lowered. So, I would like that inserted in the minutes - that it was not city equipment that was pulled off the job. The paving was done by an independent contractor and I think that anybody in business, If they had a chance to buy a lot that was close to their property, and they think It will enhance that property, would buy it not solely for property, but maybe just for the expediency of owning some land. I think any wise businessman would do that 216 If he could. Parking was not the first priority, but was a case of being able to acquire some land, that whether the city hall moves or not, if they do we have a bigger parcel of land to sell and if they do not, we have parking and we can expand on that land. STREET CREWS TO WORK HOLIDAY (ELECTION DAY) - Councilman Happ said that one nice thing she would like to say, is that.the street crew is going to work tomorrow to pave Fifth Street West between First Avenue and Second Avenue Weat,.and expressed thanks to the street crew and complimented them for being willing to forego the holiday to help complete the street work. SAFETY BIKE LANE TO JUNIOR HIGH Councilman Happ reported the Safety Committee reviewed the bicycle lanes to the Junior High School, and signs have been ordered that will say 'Pedestrian and Bicycle Lane Only. She recommended that a double yellow line be placed along the bike lane. Councilman Schwartz pointed out that this is a two-way lane for bikes and pedestrians. CONFERENCES FIRE DEPARTMENT - Councilman Happ reported there will be the North American Fire Marshalls Association Conference in Seattle. November 19th through the 22nd, and the letter from State Fire Marshall Penttlla recommended that Kalispell send its fire marshall to the conference. Councilman Happ moved that Fire Marshall Gene Doty be authorized to attend the conference with travel by the cheapest means approved. Seconded by Councilman Sampson. Carried. SEWER & WATER - . SCHOOLS - - Councilman Miron reported the committee recommends Public Works Director Harvey Knebel be authorized to attend the Waste Water Treatment School in Bozeman, November 18th through the 22nd.
