NEW BUSINESS <br />4 1� <br />Councilman Szymkowiak expressed concern over the parking restrictions to be enforced on Western Ave. <br />subsequent to the widening of the avenue by the State Highway Commission. <br />City Engineer, Lloyd Taylor read communications from the Indiana State Highway Commission, which <br />explained that the reason for the no parking restrictions was due to the fact that the improvement <br />was being paid out of Federal funds. In order to be eligible for the funds, the Indiana State Highway <br />Commission would have to comply with all restrictions issued by the Federal Government, one of which <br />stipulated that there would be no parking in this area. <br />Edward A. Olczak, Attorney, speaking in behalf of small businessmen on Western Avenue, supported Mr. <br />Szymkowiak's claim that the prohibition of parking would force small businessmen in that location out <br />of business. He also informed the Council that he had visited the Governor's office in Indianapolis <br />and been informed that since federal funds were no longer to be used, the Indiana State Highway Commission <br />would not now have to conform to the original restrictions. Mr. Taylor and City Attorney, Robert J. DuComb <br />stated they have had no communication to that effect. It was decided that Mr. DuComb would communicate <br />with the Indiana State Highway Commission requesting an official statement. <br />There being no further business to come before the Council, Councilman Allen made a motion to adjourn. <br />Councilman Geib seconded the motion. Motion carried. Time: 10:20 P.M. <br />ATTEST: <br />LERK <br />APPROVED: <br />PRESIDENT <br />0 <br />
