REGULAR MEETING TRANSFER OF VEHICLE TO STREET DEPARTMENT AUGUST 14, 1978 Michael C. Borkowski, Chief of Police, advised the Board that Vehicle #721 on the Police Vehicle List is no longer needed. The vehicle is a 1960 Chevrolet. The Street Department has requested transfer of the vehicle to their inventory, to be assigned Vehicle No. 216. Upon motion made by Mr. McMahon, seconded by Mr. Brunner and carried, the request was approved. OPEN AIR STAND APPLICATION REPORT - 1900 WESTERN AVENUE John DeLee, Building Commissioner, advised the Board that the structure proposed as an Open Air Stand on the Marycrest Parking lot, 1900 Western Avenue, has not been submitted to the Building Council for review and would probably not be approved as a building in Fire District No. 2. He recommended that permanent approval of the structure should not be granted, noting that the application showed no location of the building on the parking lot, or arrangements for electrical, water and sewage facilities. Mr. Brunner said the Board should try to determine how other cities handle Open Air Stand applications where the facility is at least semi- permanent. He recommended that the application be referred to the Legal Department in order to deter- mine which of the Building Codes are applicable to Open Air Stands. Mr. McMahon directed that the Clerk contact the applicant, Michael Elliott, and request a picture or drawing of the facility. Upon motion made by Mr. McMahon, seconded by Mr. Brunner and carried, the application and recommendation were referred to the Legal Department for study regarding which of the Code requirements should apply to an Open Air Stand.
