The roadway web cut through the hillside earlier this year for a handicap entrance to the back of the building. Mayor Mayer stated "The thing that upsets me is they went ahead and got themselves in trouble without asking us (the Council) prior approval". "I wish somebody would come and tell me who authorized them to dig up our Library hill", stated the Mayor, "I don't know who it was, it w asn't this Council", he continued. Coordinator Kennedy indicated that the Library plans to proceed with oiling the roadway to the back entrance on Sept. 15, with or without the concrete work being done. According to the Mayor, if the oil is layed first, "It will be a mess". He also stated it was his understanding that the Council wanted the roadway on the South side of the Library rather than the North. The Council has indicated the situation needs to be remedied, but have raised concerns as to how to pay for the $9,000 retaining wall. The concensus of the Council was to approach the Library Bowl with an agreement to split the $9,000 cost for the retaining wall on a 0 basis, with the City handling all .bids. They also agreed to have a letter written stating that no further construction will be allowed on the roadway until the financial aspects are resolved. The Council approved a motion that all concrete purchased by the City in the future must be covered by a three year warranty. Also, they agreed that construction on City projects must not exceed the funds available. Also at Monday's meeting, Attorney Leo Kanell stated that he research, legal upon discovered a Supreme Court Ruling stating that Cities can acquire and dispose of property, but cannot donate real estate, even to a organization. This discussion was in reference to a previous request from the Americans Honoring Americans organization that Milford City donate 10 acres of land to build a VFW-UPiimuseum. The Council had approved this request several months ago; however, Attorney Kanell stated "You're making a decision to give away public property, and any taxpayer that challenges it will win." He also clarified that any City property being disposed of must be sold at a fair market price, and cannot be sold for $1. The Council agreed to send a letter to Americans Honoring Americans stating that due to legal complications, they comtheir must withdraw mittment. In other business, the Council discussed a variance request from Camille (Lamb) Sibley and others. The petition stated that the property in question has a street in front and in back of their home, and requested a fence be allowed to close the back side of the street 50-5- non-prof- it L to pedestrian traffic. As no public were present at the Public Hearing, the Council approved the variance. Attorney Kanell explained that they were not "giving" the property away, but merely allowing the property owners to use that area as part of their yard. Councilman Mayer requested the City to sign a petition in favor of creating a Special Service District for recreation to include Milford City, as well as Milford Flat. Mayor Mayer stated "There will be no increase in taxes anywhere for anybody in this area". The Mayor met with the Commission Beaver County concerning this matter on August 7. At that meeting Chairman Chad Johnson stated "Make sure the people understand that they will still be paying in that district for the retirement of the debt on all three of those swimming pools... I don't want to get into an issue of double taxation." Mr. Johnson also stated that it is expensive to put items on the ballot; therefore if enough signatures are obtained on petitions to show that people want to create a Special Service District, they (the County) will put the issue on November's election ballot. Members of the Recreation Committee, Larry Whittaker, Geraldine Barnes and Lola Eridge met to discuss plans for a new recreational complex to be located near the race tracks. Mr. Whittaker indicated that enough money is available from donations by Milford City and the United Way to build a concession stand, restrooms, and one ball field, including sprinklers and lighting. The committee plans to build three ball fields, and to use the present Little League field for They also indicated they are applying for grant money to add other recreational facilities to this plan. Council also agreed to allow the Lions Club to remove the grill from the "Old City Park" and place it at the Pavilion. Council plans to use the old park for cemetery plots in the future. The Council agreed that the week of Sept. 12 be set aside for the City Crew to hookup a secondary water system for irrigation and emergency use. Council also approved to install 4 concrete water ways through problem intersections to aid in drainage. Councilman Mayer stated that the new pool cover destroyed in the fire was not covered by insurance. Council approved up to $9300 for the purchase of a dump truck and sander. Councilman Mayer suggested the attend the State Surplus Auction to buy other needed items, including 2 computer tables. The Council accepted the low bid from Sch<zen Products of Hurricane to install the new sewer lift station in the amount of Shtriffsl $26,386.15. convened into a two-hoclosed session to discuss a "personnel policy".
