Walker Absent: None The Village Attorney, Mr. Thomas H. Anderson, was also present. Mr. Claussen moved that the minutes of the last meeting be approved as written. Motion was seconded by Mr. Walker. Mr. Rudnick then asked that the minutes be amended in the following respect: -Concerning the building con- structed by Mr. James F. Jones at 9200 N. E. 6th Avenue, the Council had originally approved 3500 sq. ft. for this building whereas the completed building contained 3995 sq. ft.� Mr. Walker then moved that this amendment be made and the minutes approved as amended. Motion was seconded by Mr. Claussen and passed unanimously. Mayor Miller then presented Mr. Glen Byrd, Park Superintendent, with a plaque in appreciation of his 25 years' service to the Village. Mrs. Ralph Baxter was present on behalf of the 660 N. E. 95th Street group who are opposing a proposal to close any part of Park Drive, N. E 95th and 94th Sts. The Mayor informed Mrs. Baxter that this request has not been received by the Council. GG 11/6/62 A request was made by Mrs. Lucile Jensen, 1116 N. E. 91st Terrace, for permission to remove the old sidewalk abutting her property which ends at her east boundary line. Mrs. Jensen would like to remove this sidewalk which is in bad condition and install a circular drive. Mr. Claussen moved that the Council table action on this request until the next Council meeting so that the Council members will have an opportunity to look at the premises. Motion was seconded by Mr. Walker and passed unanimously. At the last Planning Board meeting approval was recommended for two aditions to the Tropical Chevrolet property, enlarging the office area and building a new spare parts building. After a review of these plans, Mr. Saxon moved that the recommendation of the Planning Board be upheld. Motion was seconded by Mr. Walker and passed unanimously. Postponed from the last meeting was the request made by Dr. Marvin Hall to increase the floor area of his recently acquired professional office building at 9200 N. E. 6th Avenue. In this connection Mr. Rudnick stated that he sympathized greatly with Dr. Hall for what he wants to do but felt that Dr. Hall was an innocent victim of what had happened beforehand in regard to this building which the Council unanimously approved at 3500 sq. ft. and which the Planning Board had later turned down when it discovered the building called for almost 4000 sq. ft. and since it has now been built and is almost 500 sq. ft. over the amount approved, he could not go along with this addition. Mr. Saxon agreed with Mr. Rudnick but stated he felt this addition would not hurt the building and moved that the addition be approved and that the sidewalk be moved out to conform with the other sidewalks on 6th Avenue and that the lWyed 11/6/ -S- on-street parking area be paved where it isn't paved now. Motion was seconded by Mr. Claussen and passed 4/1 with Mr. Rudnick dissenting. The following bids were received for a new station wagon and truck chassis for the Parks Department: Station Wagon Truck Chassis TROPICAL CHEVROLET $2721. 67 $2043. 96 LUBY CHEVROLET 2759. 07 2099. 00 DON ALLEN CHEVROLET 2721. 71 2044. 64 In discussing these prices it was noted that air conditioning was included in the station wagon price, which some members of the Council did not think was practical. Mr. Walker then moved that the low bids of Tropical Chevrolet be accepted, excluding the air conditioning in the station wagon. Motion was seconded by Mr. Claussen and passed 4/1 with Mr. Rudnick dissenting. A recommendation was made by the Village Manager that $189. 00 be spent to install an auxiliary water system at the Village Hall to be powered by the existing auxiliary power plant in case of emergencies. The Council postponed action on this request. The Council was notified that the Chamber of Commerce dinner is being held on November 14th, 7:00 p.m. at the Country Club. After a review of the current bills, Mr. Walker moved that they be approved. Motion was seconded by Mr. Rudnick and passed unanimously. Mr. James Fowler gave a progress report on the establishment of a Civil Defense Department at the Village Hall and the coordination of emergency plans in this district. Mr. Walker moved that a resolution be passed commend- ing the City Manager and Mr. Fowler on their fine efforts in the Civil Defense 68 -4- 11/6/62 program and that they should be encouraged in this effort. Motion was seconded by Mr. Saxon and passed unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 5:22 p.m. Village Clerk c Approved: Village er APPROVED: "00htz/� Mayor
