Item 3d ,r Discussion was held on a proposed weed control ordinance. The City Manager ' noted the suggested changes. It is proposed to restrict the City to cleaning lots only for those owners who are out of the City. The fine provision will apply for those in the City who fail to meet the requirements of the ordinance. The notice time has been extended to twenty days before a fine is levied. Alderman Prothro stated that it was at his suggestion that this ordinance was presented and he is not sure now that this ordinance is the way to get the lots cleaned. In Dallas they raised the fee so high that there is an incentive for the land owner to get it mowed. He would like to have the City Manager con- sider the proposal of increasing the city fees considerably above what they are now to see if this would perhaps alleviate this mowing problem. He would like our Parks Department to spend their time mowing parks and city property rather than private property. He also questioned if this ordinance could help us get rid of some of the junk on lots. Alderman Prothro requested that the City Manager present his thoughts in writing on raising minimum fees to $25.00, and $25.00 per hour for mowing a lot. He also would like to know how many lots were mowed last year, and how many resulted in liens, and how many were paid by property owners. Alderman Garcia mentioned blind corners, stating that he would like to see something done about this. The City Manager stated that the traffic code contained site requirements , and that he would be happy to make a report to him. Alderman McAlister stated that it has been his experience that if you see something like this, give the information to the Traffic Engineer, and he will take remedial action. Alderman Prothro mentioned clearance at Avondale and Martin Streets. "ORDINANCE NO. 2977 Y ORDINANCE AMENDING PARAGRAPH (a) OF SECTION 18-48 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, EXTENDING TO TWENTY(20) DAYS THE TIME WITHIN WHICH TO REMOVE WEEDS AND OTHER SUCH OBJECTIONABLE MATTER, AND AMENDING SECTION 18-51 OF THE CODE, TO CORRECT A TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR.

Item 3e A proposed ordinance was presented setting dates for summer meetings of the Board of Aldermen. ORDINANCE NO. 2978 ORDINANCE SETTING DATES FOR REGULAR MEETINGS OF BOARD OF ALDERMEN DURING JUNE, JULY AND AUGUST, 1975. Moved by Alderman Prothro that Ordinance No. 2978 be passed.

Motion seconded by Alderman Prothro, and carried by the following vote: Ayes : Aldermen McAlister, Garcia, Gowan, Prothro, Boyd, and McCullough Nays : None. a Item 3f Discussion was held regarding a request to allow a pet shop in Sikes Senter VK Mall. Our present food service ordinance does not permit live birds and animals in any area used for the conduct of food service establishment operations, except that guide dogs may accompany blind persons. Landon Winstead, Attorney, appeared for Jerry's Perfect Pet Shop, which is proposed to be established in Sikes Senter. He stated that he feels this is an unreasonable interpretation of this ordinance. He stated that there will be an enclosure at the front door of the pet shop. Air from the pet shop will be ex- hausted through the roof. All animals will be vaccinated. He mentioned several cities where pet shops are located in enclosed malls. It seems that the only satisfactory solution would be to amend the ordinance to permit pet shops in the mall. H. P. Hodge read from a proposed ordinance. Alderman McAlister stated that he feels we should be concerned about the part where the animals are kept. Dr. Parker, Director of the City-County Health Unit, stated that the ordinance is designed to prevent animals from getting into food service stores. Several of the food service establishments in the mall do not have doors to prevent a loose animal from getting into them. When a pet shop is opened into the mall it in- creases this possibility. He mentioned an enclosure in which access could not be obtained into the mall from the area where pets are confined. Just because others do it is no reason for us to do so. Alderman McAlister suggested that in view of the discussion today, if they want to pursue it further, that an appropriate ordinance be prepared which may be acceptable to them and to us, and bring it .back to us for consideration. Mrs. Winstead stated that he feels the store would be agreeable to animals being delivered at the rear of the store. Alderman Prothro agreed with Alderman McAlister regarding preparation of an ordinance, stating that perhaps Mr. Winstead could find out what some of the other health departments are doing in these matters. Moved by Alderman McAlister that any action on this ordinance be postponed for further study. Motion seconded by Alderman Boyd, and carried unanimously. Alderman Gowan did not participate in the discussion, nor did he vote, because Mr. Winstead is a member of his law firm. Item 3g A proposed ordinance was presented setting the public hearing on the 1975 Leave- out paving program.

Moved by Alderman Garcia that Resolution No. 1659 be passed. Motion seconded by Alderwoman McCullough. Alderman McAlister inquired if this is something new? The City Manager stated that every grant program requires a statement of compliance from the chief executive. This resolution could serve for any other grant program as well. Alderman Gowan inquired if we are getting ourselves into a situation where the federal government can set codes for hiring?

A proposed resolution was presented authorizing application for a technical study grant from Urban Mass Transportation Administration. Goals are to update the transit system data base, evaluate the current status and develop a five-year transit program. The final report will provide the city council with several management alternatives that would make the City eligible for federal funds with- out compromising on the 13-C provision included in the federal legislation. The City Manager stated that in 1969 we were awarded a grant to collect data for the privately owned bus system of the City. The program was completed before the privately owned firm decided to get out of the business. This information was utilized by both citizens committee and city council in making the decision to take over the system. It provided alternate route schedules, and revenue and expense projections. The present study is being requested because it is a re- i 1160 Item 4c, cont'd. quirement under the federal statute before any other assistance can be provided with local and federal funds. Alderman Boyd inquired what we would do in regard to the 13-C provision, and the City Manager mentioned the possibility of a management contract stating that it could be costly. j.
