Page 2 The Manager read Ordinance 1976-007 for the first time which he felt TIOuld properly place under the Park Ordinance, the prohibitions against use of alcoholic beverages and glass containers in the parks. He said the restrictions against glass containers was triggered by several children being injured by broken glass on the grounds or in the wading pools as well as the request from the Maintenance Department for the elimination of bottle caps which get caught in the mowers. However, he felt it would prove too costly and almost impossible to enforce the Police Department's desire to have no beer or liquor allowed in the parks. Councilman Stauffer suggested the wording in the ordinance should be changed to indicate only glass beverage containers were to be prohibited. Motion by Councilman Sauer, seconded. by Councilman Stauffer to waive further readings and adopt the amended Ordinance 1976-007 subject to review by the City Attorney. Motion carried unanimously. The Council and residents of 29th Avenue who were present then discussed how corner lots, through lots, fractional lots and properties on alleys would be assessed for the rebuilding of that street under the new City Assessment Policy. Previous methods of assessing such properties were discussed along with the ratios to be applied as well as whether such assessments should be driveway or front door oriented.. Councilman Haik arrived at 7:57 P.M. The point was made that 29th Avenue was one of the last streets in the City for which property owners had never paid for the original road and it was agreed that owners of lots on 29th which also bordered on county roads such as Stinson Boulevard, Silver Lake Road or Highway 8 which they had never been assessed for building a road, would be assessed their full share of the cost of the project. The Council was unable to reach an agreement on how a share of the costs of building the road could be equitably determined for those property owners who had already paid a share of the costs of building a connecting road. The Manager was requested to list all properties which would come under this category and to try to find out what ratio was used to determine such assessments. Motion by Councilman Stauffer, seconded by Councilman Haik to table action on the assessment policy and to call a special meeting of the Council for 7:00 P.M., June 17th, 1976 at which time it could be determined what policy was to be applied during the Public Hearing on the 29th Avenue Improvement Project scheduled for 8:00 P.M. the same evening. Motion carried unanimously.
