A discussion was held on the garbage collection service contract for
which bids will be opened SePtember 8, 1969. The City Attorney
stated he has received a release from Modern Clean-up Services

regular meeting, September 8, 1969.

share of Silver Lake Beach operation.
A discussion was held on rezoning the property at 3738 Reservoir Boulevard
from R-3 Multiple Dwelling to C-2 General Commercial to allow
construction of a new Shall Service Station as unanimously approved
by the Planning Commission. Councilman Jeska explained this was a
very difficult decision ~or the Commission to make as many residents
from the area were present opposing the proposal, but he added the
facility would include adequate fencing around the sides and back,
would be much quieter, would have a better appearance, and he felt
the residents in opposition would probably change their minds after
the construction was completed and they could see how well the new
facility fit into the neighborhood. A first reading of Ordinance
#711 was held rezoning Lot 12, Spains Addition from R-3 to C-2.
First reading was held on Ordinance #712 vacating Spains Alley from
Central Avenue N.E. to Reservoir Boulevard and platting a new public
alley along the northerly 20 feet of Lot 12, Spains Addition for
access from the north - south public alley north of Lot 12 to Reservoir
Boulevard. This is in conjunction with me request from Shell to
rezone the property at 3738 Reservoir.

for the bid opening and after the bid has been awarded the documents
will be mailed to the H.U.D. office. Motion by King, seconded by

Mayor Nawrocki reported a letter he received from Police Chief
Glader in respect to the conduct in public schools ordinance.
No action was taken on this ordinance in the spring as the Council
wanted to get the views of the school board members, and the board
seems to be in favor of such an ordinance. The City Attorney
will review the ordinance and it will be placed on the agenda for
the next regular Council meeting.
Mayor Nawrocki also reported a letter from Chief Glader re: parking
meter tags. The clerk of court's office does not want to handle
these any longer and the ordinance should be changed so the Police
Department could handle them. The City Attorney will report on
this at the next regular meeting after he has a chance to review
the situation.
The City Attorney reported on a dog catcher situation. He feels
the Police and Budding Inspector should issue tags and a fee
schedule should be set up. Other communities who have such a
schedule will be contacted and a report will be made at the next
regular meeting.

between Monroe and University. The Mayor reported approximately
1150 famil~s live in the area and a good share of them have school
age children who will be walking on 49th Avenue. Councilman Land
is opposed to this project as he doesn't feel the children will
use the sidewalk. No action was taken at the meeting.
