He also reported that the Police Department had made some very strong statements about the children being allowed to play in the street when they had observed Ardan Avenue. He also explained that it was a local resident who had been caught speeding, and that the MTC drivers had been reprimanded and that the MTC has contacted their drivers to make sure they know to watch for children. Councilmember Rowley stated that she had read the Police report and that there definit&y seemed to be a big problem with the children being allowed to play in the street. David Grove, 8449 Spring Lake Road stated that the comments and options he presented in his letter to the City did not represent the whole group of residents but only his immediate neighbors. He added that he felt the Council had the necessary input and was sympathetic to the situation. Administrator Achen stated that 45 days or so would have to be allowed to get the survey put together and distributed and back to City Hall. Mr. Grove stated that it was their fear that the longer the buses ran on their street, the harder it would be to get them to move and stated that he was not happy with the time lag. Mr. Notaro stated that he did not mean to push the buses off to another street but that since so few people are riding the bus, he believed the community is being used for the sake of the people just riding through the community. Mayor Pickar replied that that was why the survey was being taken and extended off Ardan Avenue to see just how many residents did ride the bus. METROPOLITAN AIRPORTS COMMISSION REQUEST FOR FEDERAL FUNDS Administrator Achen stated that he had not had time to prepare a resolution but requested that the Council take some action on the request. Russ Underdahl asked for a few minutes of the Council's time and stated that he was in partnership with Bill Beim and that they felt the City was making it more and more difficult each year to make a good development on a commercial basis. He stated that he had been contacted by the government about developing 53 acres of his land for a development for people who need help. Councilmember Baumgartner asked if the Council could have the name of the government agency and the person who had made the request. Mr. Underdahl replied that he would provide that information at a later date. Mr. Underdahl stated that he was willing to work with the City to make the most viable development for the community but that he was frustrated with the amount of time that it has taken. Administrator Achen replied that the City is also frustrated with the time it has taken. Councilmember Baumgartner added that the Planning Commission and City Council have sat through several meetings on the development and questioned what more they could do.
