The City Administrator provided the Council the results of the survey taken among Council members regarding capital expenditure priorities for the next five years. For the benefit of the Council members -elect, the City Administrator briefly explained each of the 30 projects on the priorities list. The City Engineer provided the Council with a cost estimate for lowering the railroad grade at 140th Street, and improving 140th Street, between Finale Avenue and Forest Blvd. He also stated that it would be somewhat less expensive to improve the grade at 130th Street. After some discussion, the Council considered these items to be a priority to the City, and directed that they be placed on the "A" priority list of future capital expenditures. The Mayor recommended that the City purchase the Oakshore Park Homeowners' Association park, and be added to the `B" priorities list, which was agreed to by other Council members. The Mayor also requested that staff contact Washington County Public Works to determine the feasibility of installing a culvert under the old railroad bed along Forest Boulevard to drain the intersection of 165th Street and TH61. The Mayor then presented the Council a letter he had received from Martha Peltier requesting that the City appoint a fence viewer to assist in resolving the dispute between Al and Linda Marcu and Mrs. Peltier.
