Council Minutes of 2/4/86 -3- per following specifications: wooden fence to be constructed at the western end of the property up to approximately 150 feet; brick enclosure on the cooler addition but no requirement on screening the northwest and east sides of the equipment on the roof and with the elimination of twelve parking spaces on the western side of the existing store, up to the island, to allow a more orderly flow of truck traffic, second by Mr. Tallon, unanimously approved. 2) Mrs. Saringer moved council approve the Pebblebrook Subdivision proposal to subdivide fifty-one sublots as approved by Planning Gommission on January 14th, without the vacation of a portion of Canterbury Road at this time, second by Mr. Tallon. Mr. Gareau suggested that this should be done by ordinance rather than by motion. The motion and second were withdrawn. Mr. McKay, Chairman Streets and Drainage Committee reported: 1) Committee met on January 29th with Service Director Noble, City Engineer Schaller, Councilman O'Grady and Mr. McKay in attendance. Committee discussed the need for a street condition report ranging from streets most in need to those streets most recently repaired. Service Director suggested a five year program for street repair. Committee discussed street drainage conditions and this will be reviewed also. Committee briefly touched on contracting out street repairs rather than doing them in-house. No decision was reached due to the fact that commmittee had no cost comparisons to refer to at this time. 2) Committee discussed increasing deposit fees for street openings on Dover Center Road since this is a newly improved street and the city wants to keep the integrity of the street. 3) Committee discussed problems with regard to storm and sanitary systems. Some changes will be forthcoming due to the city's need to meet the funding process; there will be more information on this in the future. Mr. Lackey, Chairman Intra-Governmental Relations and Legislation Committee re- ported: 1) Moved Council approve the following apgointments: Larry Schwartz to Parks and Recreation Commission; Mark Musial and Robert Wendt to Civil Service Commission; Scott Shephard to Department of Human Resources Advisory Board to replace Bud Becker; Joseph Britton and Architect Darrill Pattison to the Archi- tectural Review Board; John Cimperman to Landmarks Commission, second by Mrs. Saringer, unanimously approved. Mr. Rademaker, Chairman Transportation Committee reported: 1) Transportation Committee met on January 28th with Councilmen O'Grady, Tallon, McKay and Wilamosky in attendance, along with Service Director Noble, Chief Marsh and General Manager Mues NOMBL. Committee discussed Resolution No. 8b-9, advertising for bids for new police cars. Chief Marsh advised the department currently has four marked police cars with 90 to 100 thousand miles on them; they should be retired now or at least by April. Chief Marsh would like to establish an on- going plan for yearly replacement or alternately to purchase some new cars and send older cars to Police Cruisers, Incorporated, a company which rebuilds police cruisers at approximately half the cost of a new cruiser. Chief Marsh will be contacting prior customers of this company to see if they have been satisfied with the work performed on their cars and will report back to committee on February 18th, at which time council can decide whether to purchase five new cars or authorize the purchase of two or three new cars along with the rebuilding of older police cars. 2) Committee also considered Ordinance No. 86-7, authorizing the sale of six buses owned by the City. General Manager Mues addressed the committee with respect to this legislation. He advised that in November the city received six buses from RTA -four new and two rebuilt. By federal law, the city is required to sell off an equal number of buses from its fleet. City has done so; six of the oldest buses are now being stored at a cost of $150 per month. Since they cannot be legally placed back in service, committee recommends passage of this ordinance permitting their sale.
