The city council last week approved a $500,000 project to build a by basin between 650 North and 550 North. This area is occupied by 10 homes that were severly damaged in the May 30 mudslide down Rudd Creek and prevent 350-fo- 500-fo- ot ot have been unoccupied since then. The council asked for permission from the property owners to go in and clean up the area, which state officials say pose a potential health and safety hazard. After the area is cleaned up, the property will be purchased for the basin which was recommended by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The basin is hope to protect the homes in the area against future mudslides. FEMA had suggested the basin be 700 foot by 700 foot.

Correspondent LAYTON of down Rainbow Drive to school a Maveric Store planned for the corner of Rainbow and Fairfield who were granted a permit to sell beer for consumption off of the premises. The controversial beer permit ' request for a store at that location has been the subject of discussion at several city council meetings in the past year. The first request came from 1 developers and was denied after much opposition from the PTA of E.G. King Elementary and local parents who were concerned for the safety of their children with the increase of traffic that a convenience store would generate. 7-- Several hundred children walk The third request was the charm for developers each day without the benefit of a sidewalk, although two crossing guards have been hired to help the children cross in front of the school and at the intersection of Rainbow and Fairfield. The representatives were to change their plans unwilling to accommodate the parents desires for different approaches into the parking lot and on other safety related items. After they had decided not to build, the developers of Maveric 7-- 1 Since the property was already zoned for such a store the only was by way to stop the 7-- denial of a beer license since developers had stated they County Will Country Stores bought the property and approached the city for a permit to sell beer.

In the meantime they had met with' some of the nearby residents and had worked with them to help ease the traffic hazards in the area. Without input from the residents at the meeting, the council tabled the matter for further consideration at a later time, after the parents could be contacted. At last weeks meeting EG kings principal, Dr. Jessie Taylor, told the council that safety was the prime concern of the school and that they had opposed, hoping development could be deferred, but that the plans of the Maveric store to install sidewalk in the area for the children would relieve the congestion tremendously. Apparently the Maveric store has offered to put in 800 feet of sidewalk on Rainbow at a cost of near $4,000 to help with the safe travel of, the children through the area. The schools PTA president Janet Harwood, Dr. Taylor, and other residents from the area all said that they opposed the sale of beer in general in their neighborhood but said the safety of the children walking to and from school was their prime concern and that the addition of the sidewalk and the, willingness of the developers to work with them had, at least partially, relieved some of their fears. Having an outlet for beer in the vicinity of a school and a church brought opposition from Councilman Sam Trujillo who told the council that he felt that' the council should remain somewhat consistant in our policies in issuing a beer permit for the area. He and Councilman Dave Pratt cast dissenting votes for the issuance of the license but it was carried by the affirative votes of the other three councrlmen.
