Council Minutes of 6/5/85 -3- resident. No quote was made on bids at this time; there are still some questions on cost; committee urges the County Commissioners to proceed with the 911 Emergency Phone System. 2) Ordinance No. 85-58, the demolition of a detached garage at 5803 Stearns Road, was also discussed. Present at the meeting, along with Couneilperson Petrigac, was Building Commissioner Gundy. This particular building was burned out in November of 1984, with no repairs being made. Building Commissioner notified the property owners on February 25th to either make repairs or the city would proceed with demolition. As of April 29th, no response had been received; Committee there- fore recommends passage of Ordinance No. 85-58. Mrs. Petrigac announced receipt of a communication from Chief Marsh in regard to the ordinance dealing with handicapped parking. Prosecutor Albenze's opinion was that writing the offense and new fines on the face of the ticket would not cause any legal problems and the tickets issued would be legal. Mrs. Petrigac still suggests delaying passage of the ordinance to avoid problems and confusion created by the writing on the tickets in this manner. Requested that this issue be placed into the Safety Committee for concurrence as to delaying passage of Ordinance No. 85-38, or acting on it immediately. President Boehmer asked Chairman O'Grady to discuss this in the Safety Committee's next meeting. Because of Chairman Tallon's work committment, Member Bierman gave the following Building, Zoning and Development Committee report: 1) BZD Co~mnittee met on May 30th with Councilmen Petrigac and O'Grady present as well as Safety Director Petre, City Engineer Schaller and Building Commissioner Gundy.
