• • Minutes, Regular Meeting, La Porte City Council January 7, 1985, Page 7 11. Council Action Matuszak: Thanked staff for getting the crossing light at Farrington and Spencer. Requested that the matter of final payment to TC&B be further tabled to one further workshop than he had previously requested. Waters: Recommended that in order to expedite meetings, if the agenda was brief enough, to hold a workshop session after a regular meeting. If the workshop session were too lengthy, it could be continued at the next scheduled workshop. Council's concensus was that this was a very good idea, and left it to the discretion of staff which meetings would be handled in this manner. Wester~ren: Has had a phone call regarding Bay Area Blvd. extension. The caller was very concerned about the traffic that comes and makes turns off of Fairmont Park onto Bay Area, • in particular trucks that have in the past turned over. The caller wanted to know where we stood on that. Mr. Owen replied that we have had some discussions with PPG about possibly revising some of their requests, and other matters concerning land acquisition. They have passed this request on to their office, but at this time we have heard nothing from their home office. It all boils down to a matter of money - the difference over and above what the County has in their budget to build the project. Malone He had seen an article on one of the well known ladies•~in La Porte, and Sylvan Beach was mentioned in the article. Her goal was to see us purchase it. Where do we stand on Sylvan Beach now? Is it a dead issue? The pavilion or the whole thing? Mr. Owen replied that the Capital Improvements Committee would be making a recommendation on the pavilion in its report at the workshop meeting on January 14. As to the park itself, he has nothing to report on it at this time. • ~ I
