Dr. Elmer Graber 52690 Brooktrails, made the pre- sentation for the ordinance. He indicated this rezoning was approved by Area Plan with a sug- gestion that the Council approve this subject to granting an easement. He said he would like to have the rezoning without the easement, because the property was narrow. Council Member Horvath asked that a representative of Area Plan explain the situation. Mr. Tony Molnar, of Area Plan, explained why the easement was needed. Council Member Adams asked if the stipulation was not granted would this have to go back to Area Plan. Mr. Molnar indicated it would. Dr. Graber in- dicated he would like to have the land zoned commercial and at a later date come back with a final site plan. Council Member Miller asked if Dr. Graber had someone interested in the land who did not want the easement. Dr. Graber indicated he did not have an interested party at this time. Council Member Miller indicated that if they approved this ordinance with the easement and stipul< it would be a minor change it would not have to come back through the Council. Council President Parent indicated that if they did not include the stipulation then it would have to go back to the Planning Commission. Mr. Molnar indicated it would have to go back, but not necessarily for a public hearing. Dr. Graber indicated it would greatly diminish the use of this property if the easement was granted.

This being the time heretofore set for public hearing on the above ordinance, proponents and op- ponents were given an opportunity to be heard. Mr. Roger 0. Parent, Fourth District Councilman, made the presentation for the ordinance. He explained that this would allow standing committees of the Council to have up to one -third of their members be citizens.

He indicated it was very important that new methods be devised for citizens to relate to their elected officals. He said the citizen members will not be able to vote or serve as chairman of a committee. Cathy Barnard, 1957 Malvern Way, President of the League of Women Voters, indicated they felt thi; ordinance was a step in getting citizens to take active participation in their government. She indicated that citizens will serve one year terms and they felt it takes at least that long to understand what they are doing, and perhaps the terms should be two years. Mrs. Jane Swan, 2022 Swygart, indicated she agreed that this was a good step. She said that many times the Council can get bogged in technicalities. She said that something has to be done to get people interested in their government. Mr. Gene Evans, Executive Secretary of the Civic Planning Association, indicated they supported this ordinance. He said the ordinance indicates that you have to be a resident of the city for oz year and he thought this stipulation should be removed because the Council might be denying them- selves of the talents of someone who has just moved into the city and is experienced. Council President Parent indicated that Council committee members are appointed for only one year and that was the reason why citizen members would serve one year terms. He indicated the ordinan should be amended regarding residency. He made a motion to cross out "for not less than one year prior to appointment" from the ordinance, seconded by Council Member Miller. The motion carried. Council Member Adams made a motion to amend the ordinance so that citizen members shall be appoint by Council Members of the standing committee, seconded by Council Member Miller.

He indicated there were many commissions and boards in the City and two districts, the sixth and second, are not being fairly represented. He indicated he would like the ordinance to be sent to committee. A vote was taken on Council Member Adams' motic and it lost. Council Member Adams made another motion to amend the ordinance in paragraph (b) that citizen members shall be appointed by the majority of the Common Council, and on page 2 paragraph (2) change the word president to members, seconded by Council Member Miller.

He said they presently had a business in the City which they would continue to operate, however, they were going to build a new business in Industrial Park He said this was an expansion of th tax base and additional employment in our community. Council Member Szymkowiak asked if they were going to operate the new business the same as they were operating the business on Werwinski St., and if they were he felt sorry for the Industrial Park. He indicated they were in violation of the City ordinance on Olive st., and in general they had messy housekeeping. Mr. Jack Dunfee attorney for Acra Tire, indicated there was no offstreet parking on Werwinski, and there would be adequate parking in the Industrial Park. He indicated that there had been four hearings re- garding the fence on Olive St., and there has been no order issued to remove the fence, and in his opinion the fence is not a violation of the law. He indicated that there would be no messy housekeeping in the Industrial Park, since it was not allowed. Council Member Kopczynski said that Mr. Dunfee had alluded to the fact that they will operate their,business differently in the Industrial Park because someone is making sure they do, and does this mean the City is not en- forcing the law. He wanted to know who enforced the law in Industrial Park. He was informed that Industrial Park does its own enforcing.

Council Member Taylor made a motion to incorporate that in the guidelines, seconded by Council Member Adams. The motion carried. Council Member Horvath questioned the last sentence of the guidelines which read "Money remaininl in the account after final inspection shall belong to the non - profit group. Mr. Crighton in- dicated that many times there will be a balance of $20 or $30, and because they are a non - profit group it has been determined that small balances should be returned to their account.

Mrs. Jane Swan, 2022 Swygart, indicated that the solution is going to have to be a tax supported trash pickup service. Mr. David Wells, 5104 Bloomfield, indicated there was a section of town that did have a City trash pickup and it worsened the problem with rats, because the rats moved in with the people, so trash and rats do not necessarily go hand -in -hand.

Mr. Mullen indicated he was at a loss to tell him right now, however, he did have those figures in his office. Council Member Kopcyzn: indicated he would like to know the figures. Council Member Adams indicated that on page two of the insurance consolutant's letter it indicates the City may not have coverage in January, how- ever, it was her understanding that the City is in its second year of a three year contract so whatever happens there will be coverage. Mr. Mullen indicated that was correct. Council Member Adams asked when they were going to be putting the specs out. Mr. Mullen indicated they were out. Council Member Adams asked if the committee approved them and Mr. Mullen indicated they had not approved them. Council Member Adams indicated she would like to propose an amendment under part 1, to take out the word periodically and insert, each year.

Mr. Mullen agreed that it would be too much work and expense. 'y REGULAR MEETING SEPTEMBER 27, 1976 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING (CONTINUED Council President Parent indicated that there was a procedure established earlier this year and it would be his suggestion that the Council did not pass this ordinance, but rather that Council wait until next year and take a look at the thing again.

Council Member Miller wanted to know if there was any guarantee there would be insurance next year.

He indicated there would be a surplus in the 110 account avai: able for transfer to make up the $27,000. Mr. Gene Evans, Executive Secretary of the Civic Plan- ning Association indicated he had hoped to hear that this matter had originated with the police officers. He said that if this was the request of the individual officers we would have some in- dication that the $22,000 being spent on vests was for a good cause and they would be worn. Chie: Terry said they ran a questionnaire and practically one hundred percent feel body armor should be available in our department. Mrs. Jane Swan, 2022 Swygart, asked if they had any idea how much the treatment for Corporal Wood! was going to cost. Chief Terry said he would venture to say the cost was going to exceed $22,000 and he thought this was a small amount to pay for future protection. Council President Parent in- dicated that the Council wanted every officer who wanted a vest to have one. He said the Council did not want to be placed in a situation where any officer did not have a vest. He said he would like to receive a signed statement from each man who did not want one.
