MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />APRIL 22, 1992 <br />PUBLIC Hanson reminded residents to drive safely pointing out <br />SAFETY that as weather improves there will be more walkers, <br />joggers, etc. out using City streets. <br />Hanson reported that some streets in the City have <br />become raceways, and requested City staff to contact <br />the Sheriff's Department about this. <br />EARTH DAY With regard to Earth Day, Hanson reported that he has <br />toured some park areas within the City and there is a <br />great deal of junk and debris accumulating. Hanson <br />requested that the Building Inspector step up <br />enforcement in this matter, and that Public Works be <br />instructed to immediately clean up the Thunder Bay Park <br />play structure. Hanson asked for citizens' cooperation <br />in keeping the City clean. <br />RECYCLING Blesener reported that the City has received a letter <br />BINS from Bellaire Sanitation regarding the rubbish that has <br />been mixed in with the recycling being collected at the <br />City Garage. Bellaire has indicated that if this <br />continues, the City will be invoiced for the recycling <br />service for the expense of separating rubbish from the <br />recyclables. Since the City does not have the money <br />for the additional expense, if the abuse does not stop <br />the service will have to be removed. <br />OLD FIRE Scalze reported that the Suburban Chamber of Commerce <br />STATION has requested to use the lower level of the old fire <br />station for a fund-raiser. Scalze pointed out that the <br />City has no policy in effect for the use of this <br />facility. Scalze also reported that the Building <br />Inspector has informed her that the exterior doors on <br />the lower level are acceptable, however the door on the <br />upper level needs to be turned. <br />Scalze reported that the member of the Chamber making <br />the request indicated that they are a taxpayer within <br />the City and the taxpayers should be able to use this <br />facility since they are paying for it. Scalze felt the <br />standing committee should move on this issue so that <br />the City could generate some revenue to pay for the <br />maintenance of the building. <br />Blesener requested that the City Administrator set up a <br />meeting of the committee and inform Scalze of the <br />details so that she can attend. Blesener pointed out <br />that the building is being well used by the Historical <br />Society, Public Works and Canadian Days. However, <br />agreed there is not much use of the lower level. <br />Page 18 <br />
