He ques- <br />tioned whether the City would still consider the <br />extension if the School District says they do not <br />want to give up their property. <br />Mr. Minetor replied the City would have two options <br />available if the School District determines they do <br />not want to donate their property. The City could <br />choose not to do it, or pursue condemnation action. <br />Mr. Buckingham questioned whether the City was <br />being premature in taking action before knowing <br />what the School District is going to do. <br />Mr. Minetor explained he had attended the School <br />Board meeting, and they do not want to take action <br />until the City decides to go ahead, and that based <br />. on that, someone needs to make a decision. <br />Mr.Buckingham questioned whether it would be practical <br />to restrict the road to any vehicles other than <br />public safety vehicles. <br />Mr. Minetor explained the <br />want to see any barricade <br />including crash barricade <br />viable consideration.

He added he does not like the idea of <br />anything being done to the wetland and he likes the <br />area the way it is. He pointed out a petition had <br />been presented earlier from people who do not want <br />to see Woodale extended or widened or the wetland <br />changed. He stated he does not mind the development, <br />but wants the road and wetland left as is. <br />
