May, Jr. and a representative <br />of the Jaycees organization, asking permission for the closing to 'traffic of a section <br />of Chippewa Avenue on July 19th, on which date they propose to conduct their "Soap -Box <br />Derby", and tentative permission also for the date of July 26th, in the event of rain <br />preventing the holding of the derby on the 19th. The matter was discussed in some <br />detail. It was suggested by Mr. Ray S. Andrysiak that arrangements be made for the <br />presence of both a City Police Officer and a Deputy Sheriff throughout the hours in <br />which the derby is in progress, and this was agreed upon. The Board approved the <br />dates and tentative arrangements, including the closing off of a testing hill within <br />the City for a period of a few hours a day or more in advance of the derby. <br />Next appeared, Mr. Frank Parkhurst, representing the Main Electric Co., who out- <br />lined to -the Board the serious parking problem with which they have to contend in the <br />2-hour parking zone established for the 100 block West Bronson Street, in which this <br />place of business is located. Mr. Parkhurst suggested that parking meters might <br />alleviate the condition. Mr. Ziegler pointed out that the placing of parking meters <br />in the area would be a matter to be handled by the Common Council. The Board then <br />advised Mr. Parkhurst the matter would be referred to the Traffic Engineer for his. <br />study and report, and action would then be taken in accord with the Traffic Engineerts <br />recommendations. <br />The Board next examined Contract No. 10 covering test borings and test piles at <br />the sewage treatment plant site, submitted by Consoer, Townsend and Associates. The <br />Board then authorized the legal advertising required in connection with this contract <br />and directed the Clerk to proceed accordingly. <br />The City Plan Commission recommended the vacation of streets, alleys and utility <br />easements in the recorded plat of Belleville Unit "D", which was, thereupon, approved <br />by the Board, and upon the advice of City Attorney Irving A. Hurwich is to be processed <br />in the usual manner, and was referred to the Engineering Department for investigation <br />and report. <br />
