Mayor Porter asked for two-thirds vote of people in residential zone within 400 feet radius of property to be changed. Mr. MaNemara has taken up with people he represents. They wish to decline and that is their stand now. People voiced opinions as to value of their property. Mayor Porter asks if the people couldn't work out some kind of an agreement. Mr. Thatcher suggests a restrictive covenent which would stop any further encroachment into the residential area. Councilman Nile Boyle stated that he thought it was ridiculous to keep a piece of property zoned so that it could not be used. This property could not be used for anything else. Councilman Boyle then moved that the decision be postponed for two weeks. If the people and two attorneys do not come up with an agreement, the council will then decide their awn plan. Councilman Glenn Peterson seconded. All Aye IRE: 5th WEST TO BE CLOSED DURING WINTER MONTHS FOR CUTTER RACES The Cutter Association has been using the track by closing north 5th West during the winter months. Last year was closed just Saturday. This is a problem with the traffic making ruts in the track. The City crew then has a lot of maintenance to put the track back in shape. The people in the Ricks Wade Addition do not want the road closed. Mayor Porter agreed that they could close the road this year but they must come up with another route next year so that this street does not have to be closed. ARE: GARY BUELL AND BOB GENTRY PRESENTS FINANCIAL REPORT Gary Buell and Bob Gentry presented a financial report on the summer recreation and swimming pool. There were a lot of problems and expenses this year, mostly due to the merry-go-round and pool having so much work done on them. Gary Buell asked the Council to please get the swimming pool fixed this winter so that it would be ready to go first thing next summer. Without a competent pool man to fix all the broken lines, boiler, filtering system, and anything else that isn't working, there is not going to be a swimming program this summer. Mayor Porter said he would call that pool man again and get him here this month. {RE: APPROVAL OF BILLS Councilman Morgan Garner moved the bills be okayed for payment. Councilman Nile Boyle seconded.
