<br />• <br />C <br />Minutes, Regular Meeting <br />La Porte City Council <br />May 2, 1984, Page 5 <br />C <br />also one over on Second and G that is right on the hard sur- <br />face edge. We need to evaluate if those people really need <br />those containers if they can't move them out of the right- <br />of-way. If someone hits one of them, what's our liability? <br />(Asst. City Attorney answered the City would be liable.) We <br />need to take some action on these containers. <br />Malone: Thanks to Stan and staff for building such a nice <br />float, getting the uniforms and making all the arrangements. <br />The County poured an asphalt bike and walk path down L Street <br />several years ago. It has grown over with grass and the kids <br />are having to walk on the street. Can staff check with the <br />County on getting this cleaned up. <br />Longley: Enjoyed Sylvan Beach and being in the parade. <br />Would like to request Mr. Owen, in his budget work, to include <br />the ambulance service as a part of the City department for <br />Council's consideration. <br />• <br />Matuszak: Thanks to Stan. The "sing-a-thon" helped in our <br />not winning a trophy. <br />Thanks to Public Works for fixing and turning the. water on on a <br />fire hydrant on the other side of the ditch in Fairmont Park. <br />Hopes Council continues the cooperative atmosphere it's had i~n <br />the past year. <br />Graves: Thanks to colleagues on Council for appzovi,ng the new <br />ambulances. <br />Spoke with the gentleman who lives on Merry Lane in the Lomax <br />area, and he would appreciate any.help he can get reducing the <br />speed limit out there, as the gentleman is confined to a wheel <br />chair and the cars really are going fast. The man has a "go <br />cart" type~wheel~chair and gets on the road with it, and it is <br />dangerous for him. Understands there are signs that could be <br />put up like in Fairmont Park area warning drivers there is a <br />handicapped person in the neighborhood. . <br />Owen: We are working on a speed zone ordinance at this time,. <br />but it will be quite awhile before it is completed. Will take <br />a look at that situation and see what's warranted. <br />• Cline: In reading report from the fire department on fires <br />.around, I think it might behoove the fire department and <br />staff to check some of the side streets. Thinks some culvert <br />pipes have been put in on some of the~side~streets and maybe <br />there is a shorter route to a fire hydrant than th~e~route~they <br />have had to take. <br /> <br />I <br />
