The Board discussed the agreements with Mr. Kelzenberg in light of recent reductions in CETA funding. Mr, Kelzenberg noted there has been a substantial reduction in funding. However, job slots can be filled in accordance with the new guidelines. The reduction in funding will not decrease the administrative load in his office and no reduction in staff is planned because the requirements for application, review and reporting have been increased. Upon motion made by Mr. McMahon, seconded by Mr. Brunner and carried, the agreements were approved, JOHN PRZYGODA RE: YELLOW CURB ON ECLIPSE PLACE John Przygoda, 1109 Eclipse Place, was present and asked the Board to reconsider its' action to remove yellow curb from in front of his residence. He noted he owns the first residence south of the St. Joseph Bank branch and the curb has been painted yellow in front of his home for fifteen years in order to prevent bank customers from parking. This year, his immediate neighbor to the south also asked that the curb be painted yellow. When that was done, other residents of the block petitioned the Board to remove the yellow curb. Mr. Przygoda asked the Board to repaint the yellow curb in front of his house to allow him privacy. Mr. McMahon noted that it is not normal procedure for the Board to authorize yellow curbs in residential areas. The Board took its' action last week to remove the yellow curb on the petition of the residents of the block. He said the Board was not aware that the yellow curb had been in existence for any length of time. He said the Board will ask the Bureau of Traffic and Lighting to review its' records to verify if the yellow curb was approved previously and the date. The Board will review all pertinent information and advise Mr. Przygoda of its' determination in the matter.
