J~~.,Y ~.~, 19°7 -''age 2
<br />At the last council meet~.n~ there was a petition presented, signed by
<br />ninety percent of the peoplt~nn ;'~~~:~t*~thnrn Ave. as being or>posed to
<br />sidewalks on that street.
<br />Counc~.l had considered the po.~si b slit;;- of onl;- ~rsta7_I wrg ti•ra? l~s era onc'
<br />side of the street. But in order to do a~ra~- _.,,*-i.th tre chance of a:~
<br />disagreement as to wh~..^h side of the stree:$.; the ~LTall{s sho~aa.d b~ pat
<br />on it =eras decided on both s wiles.
<br />"low' due to the facts I have mentioned and to the great amcru~~t of
<br />oopositdon, it is a recorr~~endation of the Streets Committee that we
<br />dsMon this sidewalk program, and revert to the method of "I:npro=ring by
<br />~etitpon". Namely, if the residents of any street in the city want
<br />sidew<~.].ks, they can obtain a pet ition at the Cit~T ~ia?.1 , get the required
<br />number of signatures, orese::t> i t to Co°anc~ 1. and we z~~~_1 nroc~;ed ~v~..th
<br />the legislata.nr.. +
<br />This does not nro~ii z:.,it any' pro;~ert~~ owners from instal_1.ing wa~l.i:s if
<br />they so desire.
<br />Therefore, ~~Ir. President, I move that *ae drop the present sidewaalk
<br />progra^? and revert, to the method "improving by Petition". I a?so want,
<br />to state T~Ir. President, that ~~T a.cc~idents occur~;:ng in the future that
<br />~.a- be :^onsidered a.s being due to the lack of sidewalks, th:~_s Council
<br />~~.11 feel itself .free of any moral.. respnnsi'^i.lity.'t
<br />A motion was made b~T AJIs~. Cr~.der, seconded by P7r. Kramer that the
<br />side~ralk program, in its entirit~T, be dropped. "Yeas" Crider, Decker,
<br />Kramer, "~4a.cDonald, n?eubauer, Schwenk,.
<br />l~ delegation of citizens fro. hoot Woad were present and presented a
<br />petit-i on signed by ninety percent i9O;) of the property owners on ~~.oot
<br />load requesting that Council Host-pone action on the ~~.oot %aad
<br />sideways.
<br />The Doard of P,ducat~.on was in the aud-~.ence and Darien Smith, Chairman
<br />of the Doard stated therF sti1.1~ think sidewalks should be installed on
<br />one side of Lessner, vTalter, N. Porter, Dover, and Fitch within one
<br />mile of the `schools.
<br />:s•. Ba1;er is paw present,
<br />~7r. Rhome of Root Woad req~_;ested that the road ditch be cleaned from
<br />1~2l~9 to l~3t~3 Rcot Road.
<br />.~~r. Straky stated that the driveway pipes on Root Road were not installed
<br />proper~_y. The matter was referred to the Safety-Service Director.
<br />A motion was made by I~r. Cr~_der, Seconded by Tom. Kramer that the Clerk
<br />notif=J, by letter, the residents who took out ~~.O.OO permits to install
<br />their own sidewalks, that they would be granted three weeks from the
<br />date of letter to get their refund or the Enineer would set the stakes
<br />for s-? dewalks. 'nom eas" Baker, Cri der, Decker, Kramer, 1~IacDonald,
