<br />PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR
<br />Mrs. Fanny Grunwald, 227 South Frances Street, indicated that, at the May 14, 1973 meeting of the
<br />Council, she had talked about the curbs in the downtown area and the fact that they were not being
<br />made accessible to the physically handicapped. She indicated that she had received a letter from
<br />Mr. Charles Lennon, Executive Director of the Department of Redevelopment, regarding her question.
<br />She indicated that she had observed the ramps and they were very narrow. She felt this was a very
<br />poor job and that the planning was not properly done. She felt it was an important matter and
<br />should be taken care of. Council President Nemeth asked Mrs. Grunwald if she was able to attend
<br />the Redevelopment meetings which are held on Friday mornings because he was sure if she attended
<br />those meetings, she would get definite answers to her question. Mrs. Grunwald indicated that she
<br />could possibly attend the meetings; however, she felt the Council should be able to help because
<br />the new law had been approved by the Council regarding the physically handicapped. She mentioned
<br />the break between the curb and the street, and Council President Nemeth indicated that the street
<br />pavement has not yet been laid. Mr. William J. Richardson, Director of the Department of Public
<br />Works, briefly explained the procedure. Mrs. Grunwald felt the ramps should be improved in order
<br />to bring the business downtown.
<br />Mrs. Lee Swan, 2022 Swygart, indicated that she wanted to speak about Councilman Kopczynski's
<br />defense of motorcyclists at the May 14, 1973, Council meeting. She presented copies of letters
<br />to the Clerk and Council President pertaining to problems the people are having in a certain area
<br />because of the motorcyclists. She indicated that she had been told that nothing could be done
<br />about the situation in the Walker Field area, and she mentioned that it was a very serious situa-
<br />tion because there had been a hurt child involved. She mentioned that many of the riders are not
<br />of age and, therefore, the bikes are not licensed and no insurance is available. Councilman Taylo:
<br />suggested that Mrs. Swan's comments be directed to the Council Committee on Public Works to inves-
<br />tigate more thoroughly. It was mentioned that, since the matter dealt with safety, it should
<br />perhaps be referred to the Council Committee on Public Safety. Councilman Taylor so moved, second(
<br />by Councilman Miller. The motion carried.
<br />Mrs. Fanny Grunwald interjected that she hoped the same lax job that was being done regarding the
<br />ramps for the handicapped was not being done on the new buildings that were being constructed.
<br />Councilman Parent indicated that anything that is built with federal funds must be accessible to
<br />the handicapped. Mrs. Grunwald suggested that the Council members take a walk through the downto
<br />area to view the narrow ramps being installed.
<br />UNFINISHED BUSINESS
<br />Councilman Taylor made a motion to strike from the June 11th agenda the revenue sharing ordinance
<br />in the amount of $5,000 for the Department of Law, seconded by Councilman Parent. The motion
<br />carried. Council President Nemeth announced that the public hearing was no longer necessary in
<br />view of the fact that the State Board of Tax Commissioners had approved the ordinance.
