Mr. Logan, Chairman Transportation Committee reported: 1) Conmittee met May 25th with Mrs. Petrigac and Mr. Logan in attendanee as well as Serviee Director Corrigan. Committee discussed Ordinance Nos. 83-45 and 83-46, compensatton for Bus Line employees, and has no objeetion. As he has done in the past, Service Director will use his own discretion in approving or disapproving any increases. 2) Committee has previou$ly approved Ordinance No. 83-51 regarding the traffic contral signal at Rose Road and Fawn Drive whicth is on third reading tanight. 3) Committee also approved Ordinance No. 83-57, authorizing emergency boc3y repaira to two buses. 4) Committee discussed at length the issue of truck parking in the City. After an intense search on the part of the Safety Director, several other iavolved people, and the Transportation Commtttee, it was concluded that there really is na space, no area, within the City limits that is €easible for overnight truck parking. Committee did go to great lengths to try to find an area that would not conflict with neighbor- ing residences or cominercial developments. Spoke with Mr. Edward Biskind, Great Northern Partnership, who adviaed that they are on record as being ctpposed to being included in any long range planning for truck parking in Chat tiheir current concrete and asphalt does not supgort the weight of trucks. Further, they do not have a 4D gravel or earth area that would accommodate such parking. If an owner can find a suitable area, properly zoned, the City will work to accommodate him, but currently, under existing conditions, no such place has been found.
