He suggested some alternatives to avoid this problem in the future. In conjunction with actions of the Park Board on the sale of LaMotte Park, Mr. Ross felt that with 2500+ acres of a Regional Park, it is not necessary to expand any further. Mr. Ross also commented on the Letter to the Editor in the Circulating Pines on Council actions in relationship to endoring candidates. He felt this person should be called in for a public apology in order to avoid this type of thing in the future. Mr. Brian Dobie had asked for time under the Open Mike to present his request for the release of $4,000.00 being held in escrow for the completion of the Street in his project just North of Main Street. Mr. Dobie said the street has been in for over a year and he questioned the need for a Letter of Credit for 20% of the cost of the pro- ject to be in effect for the next year. There was discussion on this point with the decision of the Council being that the Letter of Credit is necessary because the street had not been finished up to this point in time. Mr. Dobie pointed out that the street surface had been installed over a year and there has been no problems. Mr. Dobie said that a letter had been written by Mr. Gotwald on Aug. 17- 1979 stating that the street surface was in and acceptable - there were some minor items that needed to be completed. Mr. Dobie's money in escrow had been reduced to $4,000.00 at that time. Mr. Jaworski asked if this money had been for repair of the srreet in case of break up or was it left to insure the completion of the items that were incomplete? Mayor Gourley felt the maintenance bond started the date the streets were accepted by the City as a City Street. The letter from the Engineers stating that the street is.complete and meets City specifications has been received and is dated October 7, 1980. Mr. Jaworski repeated the fact that the bond for street maintenance starts at the time
