He said <br /> 3 further: <br /> 4 *the City experiences quite a bit of vandalism in the bathrooms <br /> 5 between sports seasons; <br /> 6 *pointed to the damage which had recently been. experienced in <br /> 7 Central Park as an example; and <br /> 8 *in terms of vandalism costs, it just hadn' t seemed worth while <br /> 9 to leave the bathrooms open during those periods; <br /> 10 *the reason the satellite in Silver Point Park had been moved <br /> 11 out of sight had been because one of the neighbors had com- <br /> 12 plained about having to look at it from their backyard. <br /> 13 Mr. Hamer said it costs the City $100 a month to keep satellites in <br /> 14 Emerald and Silver Point parks and the telephone company charges the <br /> 15.

Mr. Johnson said he perceived paying <br /> 30 for the vandalism was just one of the costs to be expected for doing <br /> 31 business. He pointed to his own costs which had resulted from the <br /> 32 burglary which could, or could not, be attributed to his proximity to <br /> 33 the park. <br /> 34 NEW BUSINESS <br /> 35 First Reading Results in Wording Changes in the Mini-Warehouse <br /> 36 Dwellings Ordinance Amendment <br /> 37 When Councilmember Marks indicated he found the wording somewhat <br /> 38 confusing in the proposed amendment of Item 7 of the above, Mr. Soth <br /> 39 suggested putting a comma after "600 square feet" and substituting <br /> 40 "having no more than" for "and" in the second line. <br /> �41 Council Action <br /> 7 <br />
