All Aye RE: PARKING SPACE BY THOMAS SNARR'S OFFICE (COLLEGE AVENUE) Thomas A Snarr, Dentist, requested to have the handicapped parking place moved from in front of their office on College Avenue. It was put there because their was a Physical Therapist Office there previously and they needed it for their patients. The council told the mayor to have Farrell move the parking place. RE: PAVING OF HARVARD AVE. - (HILLCREST & SHADDOCK APARTMENTS) The mayor reported on the paving of Harvard. The owner of Hillcrest apartments met with the mayor and John Millar. They want to put in curb and gutter and pave their half of the road. That will leave the street behind the old K.R.X.K. building unfinished. The only way we can get them to do their share is with a L.I.D. Mr. and Mrs Shaddock were at the meeting representing Shaddock Apartments. They want the street running past their apartments left like it is down below. They did not know why it was not lined up. They do not want to give an extra four feet, it would ruin their driveway. They stated that if they have to pave their half of the street, the people on the other side of the street should have to do the same. If the street is lined up with Harvard on down, it will look better. The mayor stated that we need to line up the upper half of the street as much as possible. Mr Shaddock said they were willing to pay for the street if it is lined up with lower Harvard. The mayor told them he would come up and meet with them tomorrow. RE: NEW SWIMMING POOL BOND - BONDING ATTORNEY CHOSEN Ted Hendricks was at the meeting representing M.E.D.C.O. He gave a report. He discussed the Bond Election for the new swimming pool. They had two proposals for a bonding attorney, one from Rick Skinner Law firm and one from Mike Moore. The one from Rick Skinner is less expensive. Both are competent attorneys. Brad Liljenquist stated the committee had a meeting and discussed having information neighborhood meetings possibly at P.T.A. To get the resolution done we need to select the Bond Attorney tonight. Brad stated that the committee have reviewed both proposals and recommended Rick Skinner.
