105 REGULAR MEETING APRIL 17, 1989 sold. Mrs. Stabinik stated that that property remains a business so any other business could be put in that location. There being no one else present wishing to speak either for or against the proposed alley vacation, Mr. Leszczynski made a motion that the Public Hearing on this matter be closed. Mrs. DeClercq seconded the motion and it carried. Mr. Leszczynski advised that the Board has received recommendations from various City departments and bureaus regarding this proposed vacation. He stated that the Engineering Department has recommended that additional property needs to be dedicated before the alley can be vacated to accommodate adequate turning radius. As there is no property available to the north due to a garage at that property, it is their recommendation to deny the vacation. Mrs. DeClercq advised that she drove through the proposed alley to be vacated last week and the comments and concerns voiced today are also some of the concerns she had regarding this vacation. Therefore, Mrs. DeClercq made a motion that the Clerk forward to the Common Council an unfavorable recommendation regarding this proposed alley vacation. Ms. Humphreys stated that she is familiar with the location and would concur with Mrs. DeClercq that an unfavorable recommendation be sent to the Common Council. She therefore seconded the motion which carried. ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 13-1989 - DISPOSAL OF SERVICE REVOLVER Mr. Leszczynski stated that Police Chief Ronald G.

In keeping with Section 2-124 of the Municipal Code, Chief Marciniak requested that the Board declare Sgt. Stickley's service revolver as surplus property and no longer useful to the City.
