OCTOBER 7, 1958 - PAGE 4.
<br />Mr. Hinkel recommended that the Solicitor look into the improvements of
<br />dedicated streets, that the developers developing a street take care of
<br />the ends of the roads, and get a bond for the street and a bond for side-
<br />walks. This matter should be taken up before we get into a very expensive
<br />road and sidewalk program, to help us in the future in not having to go
<br />down with City funds to prepare a road for new residents.
<br />The bond of Rinyu, West 231st Street was discussed. The Solicitor advised
<br />Rinyu was the principal on this particular bond, and recommended it not
<br />be accepted by the City. The Solicitor also recommended that on bonds
<br />expiring in one year, covering unfinished improvements, the City set up a
<br />system whereby a check of the improvements to be completed is made ninety
<br />days prior to expiration of such bond.
<br />The Mayor recommended erection of street and underground utilities prior
<br />to building permits being issued in new developments. As it has been
<br />in the past, there have been too many stop-gaps, and many ways to crawl
<br />out of finishing improvements by Developers, and that Committee take this
<br />into consideration. He also asked that all bonds be on record at the City
<br />Hall.
<br />Mr. MacDonald reported relative to a communication from Mr. Timothy,
<br />requesting the Broxbourne area be included in the master sewer plan.
<br />Committee recommended this area be included in the plan, and Mr. Kuhn
<br />of Floyd Browne and Associates is to be notified to this effect,
<br />The Solicitor approved the sample ballot relative to the three mill
<br />operating levy, the sewer bond issue, and the .8 mill hospital levy,
<br />and requested his letter of explanation be on record as follows:
<br />"On October 2, 1958, I went to the Board of Elections for the purposes
<br />of approving the Proposed Bond Issue for the Sewerage System, the
<br />Renewal of the Proposed Tax Levy for Current Expenses, and the Ordinance
<br />Proposed by Initiative Petition for the purposes of Supporting the Berea
<br />Community Hospital.
<br />The first two, I unhesitatingly approved. The latter, involving the
<br />support of the Berea Community Hospital, I wish to go on record as stating
<br />that in my opinion, that the manner of submission of this question (or
<br />Tax Levy) is utterly confusing, both as to its contents and as to the form
<br />that will appear on the ballot, that I do net believe that the people of
<br />this City could vote intelligently on the matter and if said issue were
<br />to be supported by the majority of the people, I question whether Council
<br />could proceed to act thereon.
<br />For the purposes of clarifying my latter statement, Z am enclosing herein
<br />the sample of the proposed form of ballot used for all three issues."
<br />The letter was signed by the Solicitor, but the sample ballot was not
<br />attached thereto.
<br />The bond of R. & R. Land Company, in the amount of $13000 was presented
<br />for approval as to form. It was referred to the Engineer.
<br />A communication was read from Irwin Yaros, attorney for C. & K. Builders,
<br />requesting ~~. 231st Street be accepted for dedication.
<br />Ordinance No. 2751 wa.s introduced by Mr. Hinkel. An ordinance amending
<br />Section 1 of Ordinance No. 720, enacted June 3, 1947, entitled an ordinance
<br />restricting traffic on designated streets in the Village, ar_d declaring
<br />an emergency. It was moved by Mr. Hinkel, seconded by Mr. MacDonald,
<br />that the statutory rule be suspended and the ordinance be read immediately
<br />the second and third times and put on its passage. The affirmative vote
<br />thereon was as follows: Hinkel, Hixson, Lynch, MacDonald, Kramer, O'Neill,
<br />Wilson. Thereupon the ordinance was read the second and third times and
<br />put on its passage and the affirmative vote thereon was as follows: Hinkel,
<br />Hixson, I.ramer, Lynch, MacDonald, O'Neill, Wilson.
<br />Resolution No, 2752 was introduced by Mr. Hixson. A resolution authorizing
<br />the Solicitor to institute an action against Joe DiSilvester, and Ohio
<br />Vending Company for damage to city property, and declaring an emergency.
<br />It was moved by Mr. Hixson, seconded by Mr. Wilson, that the statutory rule
<br />be suspended and the resolution be read the second and third times and
<br />put upon its passage. The affirmative vote thereon was as follows: Hinkel,
<br />Hixson, Kramer, Lynch, MacDonald, O'Neill, Wilson. Thereupon the resolution
<br />was read the second and third times and put on its passage and the affirma-
<br />tive note thereon was as follows: Hinkel, Hixson, Kramer, Lynch, MacDonald,
