' Item 9 1)V
Moved by Alderman Hill that the minutes of the following boards and
commissions be received:
a. Traffic Commission - February 15, 1966 ,
b. Planning Board - February 16, 1966
c. Park Board - February 22, 1966
Motion seconded by Alderman Davis, and carried unanimously.
Alderman Schenk pointed out that the Planning Board had reviewed their
action taken regarding exception of sidewalk requirements at 4608 Coronada. The
reason for the waiver was lack of pedestrian travel, and no other sidewalks in
that area. The Planning Board felt there was lack of communication between the
board and city council on this issue, and determined that in the future if an
exception was granted that they would inform the City Council of their reasons
for granting same.
Mention was made that the Pat Carrigan Post 120 of the American Legion had
requested to the Park Board that the fee be lowered for rental of Spudder Park
for a carnival May 30 to June 4. The request was made because the Post is a
non-profit organization.
City Manager Jack Davis stated that the fee probably would not be changed
this year, but a study could be made to determine any change next year.
Alderman Hill stated that he thought the committee report attached to the
Traffic Commission minutes regarding the operations of the Corporation Court had
been well prepared by Jerry D. Lindsey, Chairman, Ralph Morgan, and D. C. Bailey,
and that they deserved a voice of thanks. Mayor Wallander instructed David G.
Alford, Director of Public Safety, to convey the Council's appreciation to them.
