This alley is directly west and to the rear of the new US Bankruptcy Court Building. The United States Mazshal Service and Federal Protective Service have requested we seek this vacation in order to provide and additional security buffer behind this building. At the rear of this building off this alley aze the garage doors for the use of the Federal Judges. The Federal Protective Service and the Marshals would like to restrict the access to this azea to authorized persons only. With the recently mandated changes in security for all federal facilities in the wake of the Oklahoma City tragedy there is also a need for an additional "clear zone" around this building, and the vacation of this alley is vital to meet that objective. This alley vacation was voted on and unanimously approved by the council on October 28, Ordinance No 8725-96). However the list of property owners was incorrect. The owner of tax key # 18-3016-0598 was misrepresented and this refilling is the correction of that error. It is our hope that Common Council and the Board of Public Works understands the importance of this security "clear zone" for the personal safety of the Judges, employees and general public who will use this facility, and see their way clear to grant this alley vacation for a second time. Enclosed are the new petition forms, legal discretion, circle map, corrected list of property owners with in 300' feet and certified postage paid envelops for your use. If you should have any questions or should require any additional information please feel free to contact me. Respectfully Submitted, w • ~4 .~~rC~Q/ tl~Qa.pr,r* CJJ William A.
