Council Minutes of 5/15/84 -6- Mr. Robert Brookshire, 5140 Hampton Drive commented that the City uses the word "priorities" as an excuse for a lot of things nat being done and the City is going to pieces. He noted in Mrs. Petrigac's report about the Fire Department that two vehicles were in desperate need of repairing or replacing. There is legislation on the agenda. tonight for $11,000 for a new car for the Mayor. Would like Council to get its priorities straight.; use the money for necessities and let the Mayor's new car wait for a while. Mrs. Petrigac pointed out that the Transportation Committee was not unanimously in favor of. the new car for the Mayor, .nor was the entire Council. Many issues passed by Council are not necessarily the priorities of the entire Council. Mr. Ralph Burns, SOI4 West Park Drive, stated that the north end of the Park is an eyesore to the entire community and gets worse and worse every year. People are tired of broken promises and want action. Air. Burns asked those people in the audience who were tired of the eyesore at the Park to stand up. Mr. Burns was .joined by Mr. Betz; Mr. Milan Nass, 5032 West Park Drive; Mrs. Tomcho, 5050 West Park Drive; Mr. Joe Laforet, 5427 Berkshire Drive; Mr. Charles Conerly, 499'5 West Park Drive. Mrs. Petrigac stated that she has had phone calls from residents in the area of the Park stating that people are coming into the Park and carrying off sections of the buildings; a white van has been there repeatedly. How is the area being policed? Can anyone go in and haul out what they want? Mayor replied some people had been given permission to go in and. salvage what they wanted. Will try and find out and get the information to Mrs. Petrigac. Does not know if the owners of the white van have permission to scavenge. Mr. Petre promised to talk to Mr. Corrigan tomorrow and let Mrs. Petrigac know who has permission. Mr. Rademaker commented that the Administration has a credibility problem; none of the Mayor's comments will mollify the representatives in the audience; they will only be content if action is taken and he would appreciate ft if the Administration would do so. Mrs. Marlene Orzechowski, Vice Chairman Landmarks Commission, 5043 Evergreen Drive, commented on the Mayor's statement earlier this evening that he had just received a resume this week to fill a vacancy on the Landmarks Commission. In fact, this resume was hand delivered to the Mayor, by Betty Lord, on Good Friday, April 20th, twenty-five days ago. Mrs. Saringer moved Council recess for five minutes, second by Mr. Wilamosky.
