Council Minutes 1/18/2000 generally follows the oldest streets first policy adopted by the administration last year. "" Exceptions are being made for areas where engineering has been completed already or where related work is being conducted nearby. Mr. Miller noted that Pine Circle should have been on the list. Service Director Bohlmann confirmed that the omission of Pine Circle was an error as all streets in the neighborhood were getting street lights. The committee recommended approval of Ordinance 2000-5. 2) A separate Safety Committee meeting to review Ordinance 99-156, which eliminated the city's cinema safety policy, had been scheduled for January 12. This meeting was cancelled at the request of John Galinac of the Motion Picture Projectionists Union Local 160. Since it was Mr. Galinac's initiative and his request to have this meeting and since he no longer sees a need for this meeting, the Safety Committee at this time plans no further action with regard to Ordinance 99-156. Mr. Gareau asked that it be noted for the record that, during the discussion of Ordinance 2000-5, there was some discussion about LeBern which was not on the list for illumination. Service Director Bohlmann pointed out that the lighting issue for LeBern would be taken up when the street is eventually repaired, which will hopefully be within the next few years. Mr. Limpert, chairperson of the Recreation, Public Parks and Buildings Committee: 1} He attended the Recreation Commission meeting on January 10. Agenda items were as follows: The Rec Commissioner gave a report on the various holiday activities that took place at the Recreation Center. Much of that information was provided in the Mayor's report at the last Council meeting. The major topic of discussion before the commission was the new shelter that will be donated by Community Council. He would like to correct some details about the shelter which he previously reported on. Because it had been referred to as a "4400," he originally believed the shelter was to be a 4,400 square foot facility. However, it is actually an octagonal shaped building which is about 44 feet by 44 feet, approximately a 1,6000 square foot facility. The commission agrees that the best place to put the shelter would be just south of the road that cuts through the park. There was also discussion as to future relocation of the tennis and basketball courts. The commission discussed the possibility of checking the city's coverage of business interruption insurance for the Rec Center. It is his understanding from Mrs. Popa that the city policy does include business interruptions at the Rec Center, but he hopes to get that in writing from her. This coverage is important given the age of some of the refrigeration facilities and things of that nature. .__.
