The Manager said he would run 12 the sidewalk proposal past the County again. 13 14 Motion by Commissioner Jones and seconded by Commissioner Madden to recommend the 15 St..

However, he said the City can see to 34 it that towed cars are not- parked outside the fence area. The Commissioner indi - 35 cated he still perceived considering the growth from a gas station to a towing, 36 trucking industry was stretching the concept and he said other communities have 37 strict prohibitions about an industrial use in a--residential neighborhood. 38 39 Commissioner Bjorklund then complimented the Manager on the excellent job on the 40 City Directory and suggested it -might- be helpful to include the listings of public 41 hearing procedures, which the Commissioner recalled had been available in the _ 42 office..at one time. 43 - 44 Commissioner Hansen requested staff look into the signage for the Amoco station on 45 Silver Lake Road and 37th Avenue N.E. , particularly the large gaudy sign advertis- 4 6 ing the sale of cigarettes which made the station look like"a carnival ". 47 48 Motion by Commissioner Madden and seconded by Commissioner Jones to adjourn the 49 50 meeting at 9:40 P.M. 51 Motion carried unanimously. • 52 53 Respectfully submitted, 54 55 Helen Crowe, Secretary
