Council Action Skelton: Appreciates the notification that the letter had been sent to the engineer regarding the sidewalk on "G" Street between Broadway and San Jacinto. Reported that the trash bins had been moved. Westergren: Announced the 4th of July festivities to be held at Sylvan Beach from 9:00 A.M. until 9:00 P.M. Malone: Commented on the proposed trip to the Houston Lighting & Power facility in Rosenberg. He has made the tour and it was very interesting. Mayor Cline polled Council and four would be able to go during • the week of July 9-13th. The City Secretary will make the reservations. Longley: Would like for the City Manager to be thinking about what to do with the land in Fairmont Park where the old sewer plant was located. Owen: Part of it will need to be retained as a lift station. Staff will soon be compiling a list of all small parcels of land owned by the City to bring to Council to see what they would like to do with the land. Matuszak: Mr. Longley is talking about restoration of ground. If you dug up that ground you'd find a sewer plant turned upside-down in it. We're not going to restore our own land even though it's quite beneficial. We can bury debris on that particular land on a commercial strip that borders on Fairmont Parkway. However, when you talk about next to the Public Works where it's ash and not concrete, it's a different story. Thanks to Jack for requesting to Houston Lighting & Power the lights on either end of Driftwood. He's sure the folks will appreciate that. How long does a request like that usually take? • I
