The minutes were then approved as corrected. Mayor Christman requested that leqislation be prepared authorizing the C-ity to sell the lot on Fitch Road which was purchased last summer, to the State, for the highway. The State has made what seems to be a satisfactory offer. Mayor Christman advised that he was in receipt of a letter from the County Commissioners advising that they had received a petition for the annexing of a portion of Olmsted Township to the City of North Olmsted. A meeting has been set for May 19, 1966 at 10:30 A.M. in Room 451 of the County Administra- tion building. The Mayor announced that on March 4th the intercepting sewer was inspected and notice of approval of $169,300 on the Federal grant has been received. This is the second portion of the qrant. Safety-Service Director Limpert submitted a written report, to which Council was referred for his various requests. The Mayor's request for legislation on the Fitch Road property was referred to the Public Parks, Property and Recreation Committee for study. Mr. Caster, Chairman of the Municipal Development Committee, reported on their public meeting with residents of the Garden City area relative to the proposed installation of sidewalks. He reported about forty people afitended, with various comments for and against sidewalks. Most of the residents opposed to installation at the present time wanted to wait until the sanitary sewers are installed before sidewalks are put in. A counter argument is that unless there are sidewalks when sewers are being installed, access to the area would be well nigh impossible. At a subsequent committee meeting, the committee further discussed the questions, and recommends for the benefit of all those involved in the area, especially the younqer children, that the City proceed with the installation of sidewalks on the side opposite the sewers, the same side as the fire hydrants and the water mains.
