Mr. Strater then spoke of <br />the fact that Car 153 had a great deal of mileage and was at a point that could <br />cause considerable expense and advised that Council now-advertise for bids for <br />a new police car. Mr. Strater said that if we aduertised now it would be about <br />three months before we could get the caro <br />It was then moved by Mrs. Brotifn, seconded by Mr, Strater, that we <br />advertise for bids for a new police car, with a bid for Car 153 to be credited <br />on the price of° a new car. - <br />Ro11 Call: Ayes - Messrs Taylor,Wedler,S trater,Brown,Zora1 & Hopkins <br />Ilays - None. <br />1"1otion carried. <br />Mr, Hopkins then took over to explain about the Scott Airpacks obtained <br />by the Fire Department.° The'Fire Department had requested that the Village <br />obtain-two air tanks for. this equipment,- as it was cheaper than -renting such <br />equipment. Tt-To tanks would cos-t $110.00. Council then advised that this be <br />tabled f or the time being until finances were in better shape. <br />Mr. TnTedler, reporting f'or the Zoning and Pl.anning Commission, said that <br />they had met on'the firs-t Tuesday of the mon-th and considered a request from <br />Mr. Durrel Post to subdivide his property on SOM Roado This request was granted <br />by the Zoning and -Fl.arming Corrunission. <br />Mayor Endress then spolze of the fact that the Fire Departanent had been <br />in need of inetal hose bridges, which would have cost around $1070005 and that <br />the.Fire Department had constructed these bridges themselves. TZayor Endress <br />then complimented the Fire Department arxd said that the Village appreciated <br />their eff'orts o <br />As a great many members from Seneca, Glenview and Bonnieview Roads were <br />present??to consult -with Council on the repavi.ng of these stree:ts, Mayor Endress <br />opened the meeting to 'Lhese people. There was some opposition to Councilts plan <br />to pave these s treets, sparked by Mrs Nickerson and Mr, Skirbunt. A great deal <br />of the evening was then taken uD in hearing these people and explaining various <br />proceedings, plans and costs. There seemed to be mixed feelings among those <br />present as to whether the streets should or should not be paved. While some <br />demanded that the s treets not be paved, others were just as determined.that they <br />should. It was again brought out by Council, that these streets were too <br />expensive to maintain in their present condition and posed a hazard to the people <br />livi.ng on them and to the Fire and Police Depar-tment. As the main reason again, <br />re-paving seemed to be the cost. Council was aslced to look favorably on the <br />possibility of splitting up some of the larger lots to reduce the costm Iqayor <br />Endress said that each case tiqould have to be presented to the Zoning and Planning <br />Board and eonsidered by them on its merits. <br />30
