He added the church has indicated they are not in favor of having a walkway easement in that area. Director Thatcher explained that when the project was first proposed, Bruce Anderson had advised they analyze the issue of putting a walkway in. He added the Park Board had reviewed the proposal and he had received a memo from Mary Saarion, dated November 24, stating that the Park and Rec Commission feels the walkway does not meet the objectives of the Park and Rec Department, but did note there is an opening in the fence that people do walk through. There is also a storm sewer easement, but it is not mentioned as a bike path or walkway. He also noted if the pathway was put in, it would have to go across the church parking lot, which would cause problems. He added the Planning Commission had discussed it briefly but not reached a decision. Councilmember Quick noted that at one time there was an area there that the Park and Rec Department used as a baseball field and playground, and it was also used by the school and had a great deal of traffic going through the opening in the fence. Councilmember Haake stated she does not see a need for the pathway, and she could forsee problems happening with it as the City encountered with the Gale /Yost addition. She added she does not feel this would be a good expenditure of money for the City now. Councilmember Blanchard stated this is private property, bordering on private property, and she does not see the need to put a walkway through. Motion /Second: Haake!Bianchard that the Council does not feel there is a need for a bike path or pedestrial walkway on the northerly portion of the Red Oak Subdivision, between lots 8 and 9.

He added the issue comes down to proper notice and whether the Federal government is acting diligently, and he hopes for a decision soon. Attorney Meyers reported the Highway 10 Radiator Repair Shop case will be heard soon, possibly before the end of the year. He added the issue gets down to the home occupation question. Attorney Meyers advised Judge Connelly would like to come before the Council, to meet them, and he believes the Judge will be at the first regular meeting in December.
