All members were present including Mr. Childs, Mr. Caster and Mr. Weldon. A meeting has been scheduled for May 7, 1977, 10:00 A.M., City Hall, with the residents of Clifford Drive to discuss the repairing of the beam in conjunction with the resurfacing of the street; 2) Committee discussed the report from the Assessment Equalization Board in regard to Mill Rd. sidewalks. On agenda tonight are two pieces of legislation: approving the report of the Board on objections relative to the estimated aasess~nts for the Mill Rd. sidewalk improvement, and, determining to proceed with the improve- ment by constructing a concrete sidewalk. The Committee's recommendation was to approve the Board's report and proceed with construction; 3) Committee discussed the Siebenhar Subdivision and the cost of the work necessary to modify and restore storm sewers under Ranchview. The total coat is $5,399. The Committee recommends to the Finance Committee that the City split the cost with the developer for this improvement; 4) Committee reviewed correspondence received from the County in regards to the turn lane at Clague & Lorain Rds. If we are to proceed with this a qualified real estate appraiser should be hired to make before and after assessments of the affected parcels. The cost of some of the acquisitions would be quite high. At this time the Committee does not believe it to be feasible to enter into an agreement with the County. The Service Director has agreed to fill the chuckholes and make the berm passable so that cars can turn right on red a little easier. The closer I-480 comes into existence the closer this project will came into reality. Mr. Fairfield, Chairman Recreation, Public Parks & Buildings, reported: 1) have received correspondence from a Mr. Crowley on Cottonwood Trail, in which he stated what he felt were some of the problems at the Recreation Center in the past few years. He mentioned that he had worked in this area at one time in his life and he did make some good recommendations Mr. Fairfield felt which will be brought before Recreation Commission and Recreation Committee of Council next time they meet.
