Mr. Musial moved to approve the proposal of Radisson Inn to change the land use from recreation use to hotel and parking in the Mixed Use District. The motion was seconded by Mr. McKay and unanimously approved. e. Ordinances 96-182 and 96-190 were also discussed. Ordinance 96-182 accepts a storm drainage easement located within a pazcel off of East Park Drive. This will rectify the situation where a sewer is located underneath the gazage of the resident. This situation had prevented the resident from enlarging the gazage or making improvements. Through negotiations with the city, the owner has agreed to provide the city with an easement to circumvent the garage. Ordinance 96-190 involves a storm sewer easement in the Coe lateral ditch on the property of Peter Rinebold. The city has agreed to put in enclosed piping in an open ditch. The committee recommended approval of both ordinances. Mr. McKay, Chairperson of the Streets and Drainage Committee: 1) The committee met on Monday, December 16. Present were Council Members Lind, Limpert, Musial, Nashar, Saringer and McKay; Mayor Boyle; Service Director Bohlmann, Finance Director Burns. The agenda was as follows: a. Ordinance 96-181 which deals with the underground communications system throughout the city. The purpose of this ordinance is to place all communications wiring, including telephone and cable television, underground. All the areas affected are within the public right-of--way or within the underground easements and are intended to locate entirely underground or top flush with the surface in all residential areas. The committee recommended approval. b. Resolution 96-183 which allows the Service Director to advertise for bids for the construction of catch basin, manhole, sidewalk, curbing and pavement repairs at various locations in the city.

Mr. Lind, Chairperson of the Finance Committee: 1) The committee met on Monday, December 16. In attendance were committee members Lind, McKay and Musial; Council Members Limpert, Nashar and Saringer; Finance Director Burns; Mayor Boyle; Service Director Bohlmann. The committee discussed the follow legislation: a. Ordinance 96-176 which establishes an investment policy for the city. The legislation was amended for language and cosmetics allowing the holding of investments by the banks as trustees or custodians rather than requiring delivery of the securities to the city. This legislation is required by State Senate Bill 81. It is interesting to note that in the audits released by the State Auditor, passage of this legislation was required by September 23, 1996 even though the law did not go into effect until that date. The committee recommended approval, and the legislation will be passed under suspension of the rule. Kam,. 3 ,. _ -I
