Nay: Marks. Motion carried. The Manager distributed copies of the July 23rd .memorandum from Larry Hamer, Public Works Director, in which Mr. Hamer had given his recommendations related to the petitions'for' two street lights to be installed i.n ,the alley which runs between St. Anthony Boulevard and Pahl Avenue and'for the City to take over the cost of the existing street light behind 2509 St. Anthony Boulevard previously paid for by the homeowners in that area. Mr. Hamer recommended that the latter request be granted since the City has begun paying for some alley lights since 1969 when that particular light was installed. He also advised the Council that the circumstances would--be-the same for-the light in back of 2609 St. Anthony Boulevard. The Public Works Director had also indicated he could see no justification for the installation of two additional lights in the alley between St. Anthony Boulevard and Pahl because there was already one light in existence behind 2704 St. Anthony Boulevard and thus recommended that only one additional light be approved. Copies of the signed petitions to support each request had been included in the Council packet and the Manager had distributed copies of the- City map which identi - fied locations of all existing lights. Jerry Kelly, 2809 Pahl Avenue N.E. , stated that he was present to represent Virgil Larson, 2813 Pahl Avenue N.E. , the Crime Watch Captain for their neighborhood, who had distributed the petition for the two alley lights at the suggestion of Officer Richard Puffer who had helped the residents organize that area into a Crime Watch Neighborhood. Mr. Kelly said the neighbors believed theirs could be considered a unique situation because of the curve of the alley in question and thefact that there are so many large trees and bushes behind the homes on St. Anthony Boulevard which darken the alley and pose a security problem for the residents. The neighborhood spokesman said the 'petitioners' first choice would- be to be permit- ted both lights, but, if that isn't possible, they would like to have one light installed behind the Ray Lundeen home at '2808 St. Anthony Boulevard. However, Mr. Kelly later concurred with Councilmember Enrooth's suggestion that installing • the light behind the Williams' home at '2805 Pahl Avenue N.E. would probably provide more light for the entire alley.
