A separate issue is the placement of a traffic signal at Dorchester and Stearns, and the city is in negotiations with the County Engineer's office on how best to facilitate that. 12) The first new concrete has been poured on Great Northern Blvd., and work is scheduled to continue through the end of July. 13) Believes that Ordinance 2007-50 is an attempt of select members of Council to limit the administration with regard to how they conduct business. He encourages Council to reject this effort and to allow the experts who work with these issues every day to decide when and how to mark city vehicles. Law Director Dubelko: 1) Law Dept. is interviewing law student candidates for summer clerkships in the department. 2) Elm Street properties litigation is scheduled for trial in June. He attended a meeting with the plaintiff's attorney, insurance defense counsel and the Planning Director to talk about possibilities of settlement that might involve a review of the new Single Family Cluster code. 3) Received a letter from attorney Dan Kolick representing Suburban Collision Center regarding the matter pending between the city and Suburban Collision. Shared a summary of that letter with the BZD chair, and he will be speaking with the Safety Director regarding it. 4) Provided counsel to the administration, to Councilwoman Jones and Councilman Gareau regarding issues relating to truck traffic on the new Stearns/Crocker Road. 5) Litigation report: As previously reported, there were procedural skirmishes occurring involving the case of city fire fighters and the motion to vacate two arbitration awards. Those procedural motions were resolved by determinations by the court-the motion of the union to show cause and the motion of the city were moot. Some of the side motions are being resolved; hopefully, we are going to get a decision very shortly from Judge Sutula. 2
