11].8 Johnson I think this Council should. act one way or the other. Either vacate it, or vacate it and dedicate it as a walkway or we are ant to have the sa^~e thine coming up year after ,year. Warkentien We can't bind future councils. Uteeht No, we can't bind future councils. L. Pehrson I am not really affected. one way or the other but I feel it 1766 Holton would. be a fine gesture to vacate the alley in favor of the property owners. I would like to see it vacated. Geo. Anderson It really doesn't affect me one way or the other. I don't have 1775 Albert any small children, but there were times when the only way we could get on to Albert was through that lane. Tha±- was the only time we used it. I have heard. from my neighbors that their children use it. They go up the alley and don't have to go down to Larpen teur. Nilsen It gets them off the traveled part of the street. Uteeht I am in favor of stopping travel but I still think the kids should be allowed to walk through. Let's barricade it in the middle, Pars.

Vie might be sitting out there enjoying a barbecue dinner and someone goes through and raises the dust. Coppini I still move we vacate this alley in favor of the property owners. Coppini Previous councils have been negligent on these other walkways as evidenced by the planners regarding an entrance to the walkway on Ruggles. Uteeht Let's refer it to the Planning Commission and see what they say. dirs. Salminen Wasn't the letter Mr. Cor~pini read. from the Planning Commission? Uteeht No, they are planne rs but not our Planning Commission. Nilsen named the members of the Village planning Commission and said it is well not to be too hasty because when they had the hearing on the walkway between Holton and Pascal, at about Ruggles, there were no objectors at the first meeting, but at the second meeting those who attended were mostly objectors. ?rs. Salminen If there are objectors, why aren't they here? The notice was posted and published and I also gave the matter a lot of publicity. Uteeht Our normal procedure is to turn this over to our Planning Commission and get their opinion. Nilsen Ts there a second to Coppini's motion? None was heard. Nilsen announced Conpini's motion dies for lack of a second.
