Mr. McMahon made a motion that the letter be filed and a letter be sent to all affected property owners advising them that the Board can pursue dedication of the easement as a public alley or can issue a cease and desist order to stop use of the alley and erect barricades. The property owners will be asked to make their views known to the Board in writing. The Board will make a decision on the matter based upon the wishes of the majority of the property owners.
