Heartening to receive because in '73 rece~.ved a flat turndown with stet. t that it was a good application but no ffioney available and if City ~rould wssatt to r t same to do so; which City did. Out of the I1 it looks as if 2 may have scs-e possibilities for approval; 2) Lorain Road traffic lights - program has been under con:;;rxct for close to a year; in preparation for about 3 years - is drawing to a close. All of the equ t is finally in. It is not timed yet but hopefully will be shortly and ready For acceptance; 3) would like to request Council action ofi Ord. Nos. 74-158 and 74-159 that wtnxld accept an easement for installing the utilities to the Rec Ces-ter Erase Canterbury Rd. The distance in running the easements for the utilities ie much lass from Canterbury; negotiated the location of it and there is money in the project cost for payment. Would like to ask Council to consider these pieces of legislation on emergency. Service Director Caster repoxted following: 1) on bus survey that was conducted last Thursday. Felt there was an unusual turnout - good response. Good c nts for the bus line. The negative aspect of the camarents were against regional transit especially the poss~.biiity that CTS would be in control of it; 2) Treatment Plant - had reported out that a new burner had been installed. The burner had pxoved ins€ficient. Anew burner asseablq was sent last Friday which did not fit present housing. It was shipped back and technician went with it. He came back yesterday with a new burner assembly which has been installed. 5 to be operating - so far have not been able to detect any bad odors because of the inefficiency of the burner; 3) Leaf Pickup that we have been going through is 8OX complete - all roadside ditches and swales have been hit at least once; most twice. Weather permitting should be able to finish up in next couple of weeks.
