Mr.Lunwick stated that IU owns part of the land and that Notre Dame wishes to acquire all of the current site for use as an arboretum for its fine arts center. Council Member Varner asked whether the data results would change in moving the monitor from a field to a parking lot,and also whether the City would be penalized if ozone goals are not met due to unreliability of data. Mr. Lunwick responded that two other monitor sites exist and both are located on parking lots, i.e., at Navarre and La Salle Intermediate schools. Mr. Varner stated that his concern was for CO2 emissions from vehicles and that results might be skewed if the monitor is in a parking area. Mr. Lunwick said that the controlling site for ozone monitoring is located in Granger, and that's the site which will determine ozone attainment. Ms. Pfeifer asked if there would be a fence surrounding the monitor trailer on its new site. Mr.Lunwick said there would be,but there will be no greenery.
