Council Minutes 09/15/1983 I ~ (D I'- o -:t: <t: I I September 1, 1983 September 15, 198J 245 Commission be confirmed for Kent Hinckley for a term expiring on February 28, 1984; vo~ing was all in favor; motion carried. Swimming pool operations for the 1983 season were reviewed by Councilwoman Dille, who noted that estimates show that revenue will be above expenditures. According to the report submitted by the pool manager, this appears to have resulted from having public swimming only during the same weeks that instructions were being given. In connection with the driveway damage at the Dick Bybee residence, 21JO Ross Avenue, which was mentioned in several previous meetings, Mayor Wehmann repcrted that Mr. Bybee had called to inquire if City equipment and labor could be used to lay the asphalt if he paid for the material. It was agreed that this would be satisfactory, and Public Works Director Hayse Whiteley was instructed to go ahead with the repair work under this arrangement. Councilman Williamson indicated that he would notify Mr. Bybee of the de- cision and would tell him that the amount to pay the City for the asphalt would be $180. Recommendations w'ere made by Mayor Wehmann about the timing for expending funds as budgeted for several special items, such as the payment to the CART program. He noted that it would be helpful to the City's financial condition to have the City Attorney and the City Engineer attend only one City Council meeting each month so that these pro- fessional services can continue to be available with no change in the retainer fees. Mayor Wehmann submitted a letter of resignation, stating his intention to move to Oregon and requesting that the effective date be no later than September 30, 1983. No immediate action was taken. The City Clerk reported that claims to pay totaled $4,365.85, and all were given approval along with expenditures made since the previous meeting for payroll and related expenses in the amount of $8,122.70. A motion to adjourn was made by Councilman Sw'ensen and seconded by Councilwoman Dille; voting was all in favor; the meeting was adjourned at 8:50 P.M.

A report by Mayor Wehmann informed the Council members of recent happenings which re- sulted in changing the plans made by Norma Brown of 1750 Falcon Drive, representing the Falcon Park property owners, to have the concrete pipe playground equipment that is located there broken up and hauled away. Agreement was indicated to Mayor Wehmann's statement that there was never any intention for the pipe to be destroyed and, if there is no response to the City's proposal about the park property being donated to the City and a landscaped playground area being developed, then the City should try to move the concrete pipe to McCowin Park. It was pointed out that this plan would preserve the efforts of the Boy Scout who made arrangements, as an Eagle Scout project, to have the pipe brought in for playground equipment.
