This is the second of three phases of improvements for the Washington Coles area under the Community Development Block Grant Program. City Manager Townsend informed the Council that this project has been divided into 3 phases since it is such a large undertaking. He stated that the Minutes .. Regular Council Meeting March 4, 1981 Page 4 project does include curbs, gutters, and sidewalks across from the old Street Division yard which is owned by the City but will possibly be sold in the future even though the type of use is questionable. Mr. Townsend also reminded the Council that there are very few houses on Burns Street, it was the consensus of the Council that possibly this street could be included in the project as an alternative item. n.

On a related matter, Councilmember Best inquired if there was any way the City could design the Cole Park Pier so that this large expenditure would not have to be made after every hurricane. He suggested that possibly if the piers were not tied down, they would survive a hurricane. Mr. James K. Lontos, Director of Engineering and Physical Development, explained that the staff checked several yeasr ago when the pier was designed and they were of the opinion that if the panels were placed so that they just rested on the piers, the damage would not be as severe as if the panels were rigidly installed. He stated, however, that the staff was of the opinion that this type of pier would survive almost any type of hurricane, except one with very high tides, such as Hurricane Allen. Couricilmember Zarsky noted that the Causeway bridges withstood the damage better than most structures. Mirr tes 1? r Council Meeting M 4,'1981 Page 5 City Manager Townsend explained that those bridges were much taller than the Cole Park Fishing Pier. p• Minor Storm Drainage Improvments, Phase II, be accepted and final payment of $5,359.65 be made to A-1 Plumbing Company for a total of $58;107.30.

City Manager Townsend informed the Council that Assistant City Attorney Bob Coffin would conduct the public hearing on the proposed assessments. Assistant City Attorney Coffin stated that the hearing is being conducted to present information to the Council to enable them to determine the value of the enhancement of the property and whether or not it is in the same amounts as the assessments. Mr. Coffin called as his first witness Mr. Gerald Smith, P.E., Chief Engineer for the City of Corpus Christi. Through questioning of Mr. Smith, he determined that Mr. Smith is a Civil Engineer employed as Chief Engineer for the City of Corpus Christi; he obtained his degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin; and that he has been employed by the City in this capacity for approximately 11 years. He then asked Mr. Smith to explain the project. Chief Engineer Smith explained the project of McArdle Road improvements from Holmes Drive easterly to Crescent Drive stating that it included frontage - along Padre Staples Mall, the Sunrise Mall and Gulfway Shopping Center. He explained to the Council that the project has been delayed until the completion of the McArdle Road sliplining improvements for the sewer line. He stated that the project was designed by the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation. Mr. Smith then described the project by explaining that the improvements provide for a roadway of 30', 90', 48' and 60' in width within the existing right-of-way; the roadway will have a 6" thick compacted, stabilized subgrade; a 5" thick, stabilized flexible base; and 11" asphaltic concrete pavement as well as sidewalks and 6" thick reinforced concrete driveways which will be constructed as shown on the plans or where requested by the owners. He also informed the Council that the contract for the project has been awarded by the State and that project is now under construction by the low bidder, Asphalt Construction Company, which submitted a bid of $1,046,388.58. 't Mie 's fc - Council Meeting M 4, 1981 Page 9 ,- Mr. Smith explained that the contractor has 150 working days to complete the project or about 8 months. Mr. Smith assured the Council that during the construction of the project, it is proposed that most of the roadway will be closed to through -traffic but open to local traffic. Mr. Smith then explained the assessment roll stating that it included 60 separate items. He explained the assessment rates by stating that commercial rates, according to the ordinance, are $19.50 per linear foot, $1.00 per square foot for sidewalks, and $3.67 per square foot for driveways. Mr. Smith also indicated that for residential property, the maximum rates are $4.75 per linear foot for curbs, gutters and pavement, $.75 per square foot for sidewalks and $3.67 per square foot for driveways. Mr. _ Smith continued his presentation by stating that the total cost of the project is - $1,046,388.58; State and federal portion is $733,188.58; the preliminary assessments are $228,351.20 and the City's portion is $84,848.80. He further explained that payment is not required until after completion of the project and the assessments may be paid either by cash or over a period of five years at 6"-t96 interestrateor in case of extreme hardship, the time period may be extended to 10 years. Mayor Jones inquired if this is the last street project that was included in the 1972 bond program. City Manager Townsend replied that this is the last street that does not have major problems. Assistant City Attorney Coffin stated that he had no further questions of this witness and called as his next witness Mr. W. A. (Bill) Holly. Under questioning, Mr. Holly stated that he is a real estate broker and appraiser; that he has been appraising property for 28 years; his experience includes work for the City of Corpus Christi for the past 6 years; and stated that he is thoroughly familiar with the McArdle Street properties. Mr. Holly testified that he found only one pie -shaped or odd -shaped lot which was listed as Item 10 on the assessment roll. Mr. Holly stated that because this is a triangular-shaped lot, he is recommending a reduction of $667.50 in the assessment for this item which is known as Lot A and Lot K, Northeast Shamoon. Mr. Holly further testified that in his opinion, all other properties included in the project will be enhanced at least in the amount of the „rwyF•as, yti�Y Minutes ' Regular Council Meeting :�. March 4, 1981 Page 10 assesment. He commented that there are some properties zoned "AB" that are used for residences. and expressed the opinion that even the residences siding on this street would be enhanced at least in the amount of the assessment. Assistant City Attorney Coffin informed the Council that this completed the formal questioning for this public hearing on preliminary assessmenets. Mayor Jones called for comments from the audience on this matter. Mr. Albert J. Benoit, 1233 Vance Street, listed as Item 33, stated that his house sides on McArdle Road. Mr. Benoit informed the Council that it is his understanding that his sidewalks will be torn up. City Manager Townsend agreed that this would be done, but it will be replaced. Mr. Smith further explained that the sidewalk will be in the same location, but it will be 5 feet wide rather than 4 feet wide. Mr. Benoit continued by expressing the opinion that since his- house will side on a 4 -lane street, he was of the opinion that his property would not be enhanced at all. Mr. Townsend asked one of the engineering staff members to explain the staff plans of the project adjacent to Mr. Benoit's property. Another property owner speaking in regard to the assessments was Mr. William E. Voye, 1237 Stranton Street, listed as Item 35. Mr. Voye informed the Council that his property is near the edge of this project; his property is located' across the street from an open field which is owned by _the United States Post Office and there is nothing else located in that area. He also asked if the bank in that area will have to donate any property for right-of-way. City Manager Townsend stated that the bank will donate property to widen McArdle Road. Mr. Voye then stated that if the bank parking lot is decreased in size, a traffic problem will be created for the bank. He also informed the Council that he, had discussed this project with propety owners at the corner of McArdle and several other streets in his area, and they all feel that the 4 houses involved will not be improved but, in fact, the value will actually be decreased because of the excessive width of McArdle Road. He stated that he feels the widening of McArdle will interfere with the privacy and quietness of their neighborhood and that they should not have to pay any assessments since their property will not be enhanced. .Mir._�,s - Council Meeting M. 4, 1981 Page 11 Mayor Jones expressed the opinion that the value of those 4 houses will be increased by the street improvements. Another property owner speaking in regard to the assessments was Mr. Ronald Lyon, 1246 Crescent, listed as Item 38. Mr. Lyon stated that he experiences a problem with street vibrations at his residence now and he is apprehensive that the wider street will aggrevate this problem. He stated that Mr. James K. Lontos had expressed the opinion that the potholes in the streets created that problem. However, Mr. Lyon questioned what the consequences would be after this street has been reconstructed. Mr. Lontos explained that the street will be smoother and he hopes that the vibration problem will be alleviated after this street has been reconstructed. Mr. Floyd Jeager, 5622 McArdle, Items 19 and 21, mentioned that he has a vibration problem - at his - residence also. He expressed the opinion that the sliplining of the sewer on that street has created the problem_ Mayor Jones reminded the property owners in the audience that the purpose of the Council _ during this hearing was •to determine if the properties involved would be enhanced at least in the amount of the assessments. Mr. Jeager also questioned the amount of his assessments. Mr. Smith explained that Mr. Jeager's property is zoned "AB" even though a one -family dwelling unit exists on the property; therefore, his assessments are higher. City Manager Townsend agreed that there is a substantial inequity in the property containing residences because so much of the property in this area is zoned "AB", possibly at the request of the current property owners. He commented that this is a street in transition and "AB" zoning may be appropriate for most of the property. Mr. Townsend suggested that possibly the Council might wish to table the • decision on this one block until the staff has had an opportunity to study the land use and Mayor Jones agreed that the land use should be studied. City Manager Townsend stated that if the Council feels that all of the property should be zoned "AB", the staff study could be prepared by next week. - Mr. N. E. Shamoon, 1326 Kent Circle, referred to the triangular piece. of property that he owns from which the City plans to remove one of the driveways because it is too close to the street. {=lviinutes . _ '- Regular Council Meeting . March 4, 1981 Page 12 Mr. Smith explained that this property contains about 6 driveways which the staff does not recommend replacing. He stated that the particular driveway Mr. Shamoon refers to has a chain across it and is not used and access will be provided by two other driveways. He stated that the staff feels that the driveway located there is very dangerous, but it is because it is so close to the intersection. City Manager Townsend informed the Council that the staff will resolve this problem with Mr. Shamoon. Mr. Benoit addressed the Council again and pointed out that he lived directly across the street from Gulfway Shopping Center; -children and pedestrians walk to the shopping center; and if five lanes of traffic are installed, it will be almost impossible for them to walk to the shopping center. He also questions whether the drainage will be improved. Mr. Smith stated that the drainage will be improved during the reconstruction. Mr. Joseph Hahns, speaking on behalf of the owners of Padre Staples Mall, inquired if the letter addressed to the Mayor and Council had been received assuring them the necessary easements had been obtained to allow for the left turn lane adjacent to Padre Staples Mall. Mayor Jones assured him that the letter had been received. Mr. Roy Smith, one of the owners of Padre Staples Mall, thanked the Council for their patience with his company in their efforts to obtain the necessary easements. No one else spoke in regard to this matter. Motion by Best that the hearing be closed, seconded by Turner and passed unanimously. Motion by Best that the Council approve the preliminary assessment roll, subject to the report mentioned, seconded by Zarsky and passed unanimously. Motion by Turner that the Regular Council Meeting be recessed at 4:40 p.m., seconded by Best and passed unanimously. *********** P r Council Meeting M 4, 1981 Page 13 Mayor Jones reconvened the Regular Council Meeting at 5:00 p.m. and announced the public hearing on Consideration of changes in the Flour Bluff and Naval Base bus route schedules. Possible revisions include (1) connecting the Flour Bluff and Northgate routes to allow Flour Bluff passengers to travel along Alameda without transfer, (2) changing the Flour Bluff service from thirty minutes to one hour headway and (3) extending the Southgate route to Williams Drive between Staples and Airline to provide better service to an area of apartments. City Manager Townsend explained that public hearings are required for any changes which are to be submitted to the Urban Mass Transportation Administration and noted that it may be necessary to conduct a series of public hearings on changes in bus schedules. Mr. Tom _ Stewart, Director of Traffic and Transit, stated that the purpose of the hearing is to propose revisions to several bus routes. He stated that the routes - in question are the NAS North Gate route connecting with Flour Bluff to - allow the Flour Bluff passengers to travel along Alameda without a transfer; changing the Flour Bluff service from 30 minutes to 1 hour and extending the Southgate route to Williams Drive between Staples and Airline to provide -better service to an area of apartments. He informed the Council that the staff concurs with these recommended changes. Mr. Noe Valdez, of the Transit Division, located . the routes explained the time schedule change. He explained that through routing would be provided by this change so that no transfers will be necessary. He noted that there is heavy traffic in the area of the mall and it has been difficult to make connections and even though the bus service will not be as often, it will be more convenient for the riders since fewer transfers will be required. Mr. Valdez informed the Council that there is a transfer shelter inside Northgate at the Naval Air Station and extending the Southgate route to Williams Drive between Staples and Airline will provide service to the Treyway Apartment area. City Manager Townsend stated that this bus will go within one block of the apartment complex. Mr. Valdez pointed out that bus service will be provided once each hour. He stated also that the route will be further from the Social Security Office_ Councilmember Luna inquired if that would be an inconvenience to the elderly people and City Manager Townsend explained that the problem was r.Minutes . Regular Council Meeting March 4, 1981 . Page 14 really created by the location of the Social Security Office on a one-way access road. Councilmember Luna inquired if the City has any buses that are smaller and could save fuel. City Manager Townsend replied that it is necessary to have the size of bus that will take care of the peak load so that an additional driver will not be necessary for two mini buses to take care of times when the load is heavy. Mayor Jones called for comments from the audience. Mrs. Doris Spence, stated that she felt that the changes in the Flour Bluff route will improve the service and expressed appreciation of the Flour Bluff Civic League for the City making this change. Also approving of the changes was Mrs. Carolyn Webb, the manager of - the Arrowsmith Apartments. Mrs. Marie Spear, representing the publication the "Flour Bluff Sun", expressed appreciation for the improved routes to Flour Bluff.

Mayor Jones announced the public hearing on the following matter: Seven Year Community Development Block Grant program including the recommendations of the Planning Commission. Mr. Tom Utter, Director of Housing and Community Development, stated that the Seventh Year program extends from August 1, 1981 through July 31, 1982. He referred to the material provided the Council and mentioned that the material includes written proposals that have been received by his office. He stated that one additional proposal was received that day. Mr. Utter continued his presentation by providing a brief resume of the general information pamphlet explaining the Community Development Block Grant program. Mr. Utter explained that a number of neighborhood meetings had been conducted prior to the recommendations being prepared to determine the needs of the various areas of the city. He also stated that the Planning Commission had reviewed the requests and the staff and the Planning Commission recommend the following items to be included in the Seven Year Community Development Block Grant program: P r Council Meeting ;•'i b. 4, 1981 Page 15 - Mr. Utter explained the funds that are available for loans for the rehabilitation program for emergency home repairs and weatherization program. Councilmember_: Zarsky inquired as to which agency approves these applications. Mr. Utter stated that Section 312 loans are approved by his office; the City loan program and the Community Development program are approved by a Loan Review Committee consisting of various citizens. Councihnember Dumphy inquired if the City expects the 312 funds to be less than they have been in the past and City Manager Townsend replied the staff expects it to be completely eliminated because it has not been uniformly successful. Mr. Utter briefly Commission. Councilmember Zarsky suggested that some alternatives be examined to see if there are other projects which should be considered. City Manager Townsend pointed out to the Council that a second public hearing on the Community Development Block Grant Program will be conducted on March 14, 1981. Councilmember Zarsky referred to Item 12 which recommends the. purchase of 8 Headstart portable buildings and suggested that the Corpus Christi Independent School District might have portable buildings that they no longer need which might be purchased at a lower price or even donated by the School District. Mrs. Garcia of 'the Nueces County Community Action Agency stated'"that she reviewed the recommendations of the Planning did not think that the School District would have any extra portable buildings. City Manager Townsend pointed out that the Community Action Agency Board has not officially requested portable buildings from C.C.I.S.D. Mr. Utter also pointed out that the 8 buildings would have to be located within the City of Corpus Christi. Councilmember Zarsky questioned Item 15 designated for Peoples Street and Shoreline Drive intersection pedestrian crossings at a cost of $200,000. City Manager Townsend explained that this is not a staff recommendation, but is the recommendation of the Planning Commission and it includes heavy landscaping including benches on the median, etc. Planning Commission Recommendations 7th Year Community Development Block Crant Program February 24, 1981 1.

City Manager Townsend explained that it has been proven that people will not use an overpass type of pedestrian walkway because of the inconvenience. Councilmember Zarsky inquired if some of this money could be used for other projects. Mr. Utter stated that if there are any substantial changes, it would be necessary to go through the entire process of hearings. Councilmember Zarsky referred to Item 16 which is Local Option and/or Contingencies Reserved for Corpus Christi Beach and inquired if this has to be reserved strictly for Corpus Christi Beach. Mr. Utter stated that this is the Planning Commission recommendation for the local option money and this was a proposal by the Chamber of Commerce Task Force. Mayor Jones inquired about the $400,000 designated for downtown parking and Mr. Utter replied that this was in the Fifth Year Community Development Fund. Mayor Jones suggested that if the City does not use this money, the Reagan Administration may eliminate those funds. Mayor Jones called for comments from the audience on the Community Development Block Grant Program. Mr. Ricardo Gonzalez, 4514 Marie, expressed a concern about the Community Development money because the situation that exists today is different from a few years ago. He referred in particular to the Housing Rehabilitation Program and expressed the opinion that this allocation should be increased. He noted that this would improve area neighborhoods and pointed out that citizens on fixed incomes need these funds. He informed the Council that the City of San Antonio had allocated about $18.5 million for rehabilitation loan programs; and in El Paso $8.5 million was designated. He expressed the opinion that it is very vital that this Council consider increasing the rehabilitation program to improve the hard-core older neighborhoods. Mr. Morgan Spear referred to Item 16 also and stated that he received a call from Mr. Cecil Burney to ask him to serve as Chairman of the Corpus - Christi Beach Improvement Committee. He informed the Council that they have conducted a number of meetings to which they invited interested citizens and the City staff. He stated that they were particularly concerned with Timon ►"Minutes e Regular Council Meeting March 4, 1981 Page 17 Boulevard and Surfside on Corpus Christi Beach and they had considered selling this to stimulate improvements there. However, they were informed by the City that this could not be done. He stated that for that reason they decided to devise a plan for improvements to the beach and an estimated cost of the improvements. He urged that the Council allocate funds for this committee to develop a minimum amount of landscaping- on Surfside and Timon Boulevard so that they would be people and tourist -oriented for various activities. Mr. Spears then displayed his plans for the two streets and Corpus Christi Beach including parking lot, boardwalk, and fill to improve the site. He stated that they considered an indoor swimming pool, an aquarena theater, a bath house and small shops. He expressed the opinion that this would be an ideal location for Bayfest to conduct their annual celebration. Mr. Spears stated that their estimated construction cost for the parking -lot, the street improvements, Boardwalk, landfill, and the outdoor theater would cost about $1.6 million. City Manager Townsend inquired what would generate interest in citizens or visitors to go to this area and Mr. Spear replied that an aquarena-type of atmosphere with restaurants in a seaside motif would attract citizens. Mayor Jones inquired as to why the Council should consider Corpus Christi Beach for this type of development in preference to the downtown area, Flour Bluff or any other area. Mr. Spear replied that he understood that the City had asked the Chamber of Commerce to establish a task force to determine what should -be - done on Corpus Christi Beach and their recommendations are a result of that task force study_ Councilmember Best inquired if it would be feasible -.to just develop the street and the other work in stages and Mr. Spear agreed that it could be done in stages. Councilmember Zarsky expressed appreciation to Mr. Spear for the work that he has accomplished on this. He reminded the Council that the amusement park located on North Beach many years ago was very successful and this type of entertainment could be provided at practically no cost to the City. Mr. Spear agreed and stated that he just wanted to stimulate interest in the beach and that he is suggesting that the land be leased for a minimum amount of $1.00. Mir- `os r Council Meeting M 4, 1981 Page 18 An unidentified lady that she felt that something should be done to improve Corpus Christi Beach. She indicated that she was most concerned with the swimming pool or the Aquarena project. She informed the Council that she had contacted a gentleman in Montreal who designs pools and the proposed pool would provide swimming for various groups. She stated that she feels that this could be financed by private sources if they were assured of a site. She estimated that the cost would be about $4 million. City Manager Townsend inquired as to the size of tract that would be needed and the lady replied that just enough space to build a large swimming pool. Mayor Jones suggested that the designer of the pool visit Corpus Christi to study' the problem. He indicated that he did not foresee any problem with the City providing a site for such a facility. Mr. Stanley Martinez, representing Community Development Corporation of Corpus Christi, stated that they have been here since 1967; they have a board that consists of 24 members; they have been involved in housing for some time; and explained the program and the accomplishments of that organization_ He informed the Council that their budget is $81,800 and they have requested $56,000 from the -City with $34,000 to be allocated from the Community Development Block Grant program and the balance from the City's General Fund. Mr. Martinez objected to the fact that CDC has been eliminated from the program by the Planning Commission. City Manager Townsend commented that the City has participated in funding this group for about 4 years. Councilmember Luna inquired of Mr. Briones as to why this funding was not included in this year's program and Mr. Briones explained that the staff has a difficult time in recommending funding for both BID and CDC because they perform similar services. City Manager Townsend elucidated by explaining that if the City has a contract with an entity that is carrying out its own activity with its own support, then the City can supplement funds for it. But, if the project is funded primarily by the City, then there is question as to who is in charge of the operation. He noted that CDC has not progressed the way it should and =.Minutes Regular Council Meeting March 4, 1981 Page 19 there is a possibility of a problem of City money being spent by other contractors. He pointed out that BID has money coming from several other sources and this is just not the same situation that exists with CDC. Mr. Martinez again objected to the fact that they had been eliminated from the program. Mayor Pro Tem Sample stated that he does not feel that both of them should be eliminated and noted that the funding for BID had been increased. Mr. Briones pointed out that CDC is not only requesting $34,000 .from the Community Development program funds but also $32,000 from the City's General Fund. Councilmember Dumphy referred to Item 2 which is for Emergency Home Repairs and Weatherization Program to be carried out by Nueces County Community Action Agency and ascertained that they have never- requested money before. Mr. Utter explained that the weatherization program federal funds will be eliminated soon and that is the reason they have requested funds -from this source. Councilmember Dumphy expressed opposition to the funding of CAA _since CDC is not funded. He stated that he felt that CDC is the organization that should be funded. Mr. Briones pointed out that the funds for the weatherization program were to be spent on materials only. Mayor Jones stated that he did not see the wisdom of shifting the funding to the weatherization program. City Manager Townsend noting the apparent opposition of some of the Councilmembers stated that he will have a staff recommendation at the public hearing to be conducted in two weeks on this same matter: He stated that he finds it difficult to transmit the recommendations of the Planning Commission because the staff does not agree with some of their recommendations. 'No one else spoke in regard to the Community Development Block Grant program. Motion by Best that the hearing be closed, seconded by Sample, and passed unanimously. ********* Mir `S 12 • Council Meeting Mc. 4, 1981 Page 20 Mayor Jones called for petitions or information from members of the audience on matters not listed on the agenda. Mr. W. W. Bodine referred to a letter that he had written requesting a hearing in regard to his assessments on Joyce Street. He stated that he was not aware that Joyce Street was being widened because he did not receive the letter informing hirn of the street improvements and the assessment associated with it. He stated that this street is only two blocks long and begins on Ayers Street and deadends in a field noting that one side is residential and the other side of the street is commercial located in Cabaniss Acres. He informed the Council that none of the property owners on the commercial side feel that sidewalks should be constructed, yet they are being forced to pay for them. He stated that he will not be able to allow parking on the street and explained that his employees use most of the parking spaces in the parking lot and he needs the 8 parking spaces in front of his building which exist at this time. He requested that the sidewalk not be installed in front of his property so that the parking spaces on the street can be•retained. Mr. Lontos located the area on a transparency and explained the plans for the street reconstruction. He stated that they had examined Mr. Bodine's property that morning and there is the possibility of leaving the existing sidewalk in place rather than installing the five-foot wide sidewalk as shown on the plans. He informed the Council that the staff recommends a change to that plan to provide for 3 25 -foot driveways instead of a 30 -foot driveway and the driveways will be constructed as close together as possible which will allow 4 parking spaces turning into the building or possibly 6 parking spaces with a revised plan. Mr. Bodine reiterated that none of the property owners want the sidewalk on the commercially zoned property. City Manager Townsend explained to Mr. Bodine that the voluntary paving street program always provides for sidewalks and reminded the Council that Mr. Joe Crocker spoke at the assessment hearing on the Cabaniss Acres project and also opposed the installation of sidewalks in front of his building. He explained that the notice sent to Mr. Bodine was addressed to the wrong street number but the notice was not returned. +Minutes"�` ' `Regular Council Meeting March 4, 1981 Page 21 City Manager Townsend pointed out that if the Council was considering omitting the sidewalks on the commercial side of the street, he would suggest that another public hearing be held with notices to be sent out. He commented that the location or size of driveways is of no concern to the neighborhood. Councilmember Best stated he had attended that public hearing and everyone present was very much in favor of the sidewalks except for one property owner. City Manager Townsend stated that it is possible to install a four -foot sidewalk instead of a five-foot. He also stated that the residents of the residential property across the street are apprehensive that employees and customers of the commercial zoned property will park in front of their houses. Mr. Bodine also stated that children might walk on the sidewalk in front of his building which would be quite dangerous since trucks are moving in and out of there frequently. Councilmember Zarsky stated that apparently the neighbors were aware of the danger of their children walking on the commercial side of the street, but they still wanted a sidewalk. He stated that he was of the opinion that there is no need for the sidewalks on the commercial side of the street and pointed out that with this arrangement, 8 parking spaces will be available including the curb street parking. Mr. Zarsky then recommended that all property owners on Joyce Street be notified that consideration is being given to eliminating the sidewalks on the commercial side of the street, seconded by Dumphy, and passed unanimously. * * * * * * * * * * Mayor Pro Tern Sample who was presiding in the temporary absence of Mayor Jones called for the ordinances.
