�1 <br />I I� <br />REGULAR MEETING MARCH 25, 1974 <br />REQUEST TO ADVERTISE FOR BIDS TO DEMOLISH OLIVER GENERATING STATION <br />Mr. Farrand requested that.the Board approve advertising for bids for the <br />demolition of the Oliver Generating Station on the riverbank. Upon motion <br />made, seconded and carried, the Board approved the request and directed the <br />Clerk to advertise for bids on March 29 and April 5, with bids to be received <br />at 9:30 a.m. on April 8, 1974. <br />JANET ALLEN RE: MICH.IGAN-MAIN CONNECTOR <br />Mrs. Janet Allen, 125 W. Marion, was present and asked the Board if plans for the <br />Michigan -Main Street connector were available for inspection,. Mr. Farrand explained <br />that they do have a preliminary report but have not yet made a public announcement. <br />He said there would be a public hearing on the project and plans would be available <br />for inspection at that time. Mrs. Allen said the previous administration had <br />projected that the new bridge would go in at Marion Street at an angle and that was <br />why Marion Street was proposed as the connector street. Now that the bridge is <br />going in at Madison Street, she asked that the Board consider moving the connector <br />one block south to Madison Street. She said that would be getting it ou,t of a <br />residential area and an area of churches. She said moving it one block south would <br />put it in a commercial area where people would not be affected. Mr. Farrand again <br />explained that a public hearing would be held on the proposed connector. <br />MAINTENANCE OF MICHIGAN STREET <br />Mr. Farrand said a recent newspaper story was critical of the City for not taking <br />care of ice control on Michigan Street during the storm on Saturday. Mr. Donald <br />Decker, Director of the Division of Transportation, was present and said he had <br />contacted the State Highway Crew and was told that Michigan Street was not on their <br />schedule. Mr. Decker then sent the Street Department crew out. Mr. Farrand said <br />he feels the City is being unjustly criticized in this matter, since Michigan Street <br />is a State Highway responsibility. <br />There being no further business to come before the meeting, upon motion made, <br />seconded and carried, the meeting adjourned at 10:35 a.m. <br />J es R.
