1 54 <br />COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 12, 1989 <br />Mr. Landers said he felt rather than notify immediate <br />neighbors everyone in the school district should be notified <br />since it will have an impact on the schools which are already <br />overcrowded. He asked how long will it be before a new <br />school will have to be built? <br />Mayor Benson said he did not disagree about notifications, <br />however the City is complying with state law and the City <br />ordinances. It is a valid point. <br />Mr. Bisel said he has suggested that a sign be posted on any <br />property that is being considered for rezoning, conditional <br />use permit or similar circumstances. He said he could put <br />some pressure on the Public Works Department to put up such <br />signs. <br />Riki Rosty, 709 - 77th Street said this issue will affect him <br />as he has a child that goes to Lino Elementary School. The <br />fifth grade at that school already has thirty one (31) <br />students and there will be major school problems. <br />Mayor Benson explained to the audience -that if a proposal is <br />brought to the City it must be addressed. He agreed that <br />Centennial School District is taxed to the maximum but <br />residents will have to address this issue to their state <br />legislators. <br />Mr. Walberg asked that the notifications appearing in the <br />paper contain further identification of the areas proposing <br />to be rezone or a map could also be published. <br />Mrs. Landers said more communication is stressed. Mayor <br />Benson said that the Council has been addressing this concern <br />and held neighborhood meetings. He noted that last month he <br />spent twenty two (22) hours on City business. He also noted <br />that if the citizens are more informed, there is less work <br />for the Council. <br />Mr. Bowen asked if it were possible to have plats published <br />along with the notice of the public hearing? <br />Mayor Benson noted that an upcoming newsletter will contain a <br />lot of information for the citizens. He explained the <br />various meetings held by the Council during the year. He also <br />noted that the City only can do so much in the paper. He <br />felt Mr. Bisels idea regarding posting signs was good and <br />suggested that a community bulletin board be erected. He <br />instructed the Clerk to follow up on this and instructed the <br />City Administrator to assist her. <br />Mr. Landers asked if it would be possible to put a fence up <br />along the large ditch to keep children away. He noted that <br />the Police Officers say there is nothing they can do about <br />children playing in the construction area. Mayor Benson said <br />
