He requested an update on his request that Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. be moved from U.S. 31, a State highway, to Michigan St. in front of the Morris Performing Arts Center. Mr. Gilot noted he had responded previously with a letter to Mr. Schoby and questioned if he received that. Mr. Schoby stated he had but the response was not satisfactory to the community. He noted the previous Mayor stood in front of the public and announced the street naming, but he was not representing the 900 community members requesting the change. He suggested the members of the group doing the study were not representative of the community. Mr. Schoby presented Mr. Gilot with a memo from him to the City and the Mayor outlining his request for the change. Mr. Gilot noted it was dated prior to his letter responding to Mr. Schoby, but he would take it under advisement. Mr. Gilot explained the Board is not authorized to make a decision on his request. He stated we love and respect you, but Mayor Pete had a large group of community members do a one (1) year study on the renaming and the outcome of that study must be respected. He noted the Board will take Mr. Schoby's request under advisement with the new Mayor. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before the Board, upon a motion made by Mr. Gilot, seconded by Ms. Maradik and carried, the meeting adjourned at 10:00 a.m. BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
