Dennis M. Kissinger, City Manager, reviewed the history of the Fifth
Street and Seventh Street traffic direction designations. He said it would cost
an additional $100,000 and eliminate 60 parking spaces to create truck loading
zones to make all of Fifth and Seventh two-way streets, which can be done in
phase B if the Commissioners so direct.
John Burgess, 2427 Brookwood Lane, said he does not oppose making
the streets two-way, but feels the proposal should go farther and make each
street open to two way traffic over the length of each street.
Bud Jilka, Jilka Furniture, said the merchants in the Central
Business District should be consulted before any changes are undertaken.
Abner Perney, 1705 Glen, said he had an office on Seventh Street
and now has one on Fifth Street. He said he favors the limited plan and
encourages the future plan to designate the entire length of the streets as
two-way.
The Commissioners and staff discussed accomplishing the project in
phases.
Moved by Commissioner Divine, seconded by Commissioner Beggs that
Resolution Number 93-4621, designating Fifth Street as a one-way street
southbound from the intersection of Iron Avenue to the intersection of Mulberry
Street; and designating Seventh Street as a one-way street northbound from
the intersection of Mulberry Street to the intersection of Ash Street, be
adopted. Aye: (5). Nay: (0). Motion adopted.
Commissioner Maxwell asked that the minutes reflect that staff will
undertake a study of Phase B.
(6.2) Set the date of August 17, 1993 as the date to receive bids on
Engineering Project 93-870, 1993 Signalization Improvements.
Moved by Commissioner Divine, seconded by Commissioner Warner that
August 17, 1993 be set as the date to receive bids on Engineering Project
93-870, 1993 Signalization Improvements. Aye: (5). Nay: (0). Motion adopted.
(8.2) Request for Executive Session to discuss legal matter with City
Attorney. (Days Inn)
Moved by Commissioner Divine, seconded by Commissioner Warner that
the City Commission recess into executive session for 20 minutes for the
purpose of discussing a matter subject to the attorney-client privilege,
specifically legal matters pertaining to pending negotiations with the Resolution
Trust Corporation as receiver for Anchor Federal Savings relating to the Days
Inn Motel, for the reason that public discussion of the matter would waive the
attorney-client privilege and would adversely affect the City's position in the
matter. Aye: (5). Nay: (0). Motion adopted.
