" 1 <br />r <br />LIGHT AT NORTH GIFFORD ROAD. LATER, HOWEVER, THE STATE CAME ALONG WITH <br />A SAFETY PROGRAM INVOLVING SCHOOL CHILDREN, AND IT WAS FEASIBLE TO GET <br />A PERMIT UNDER THAT PROGRAM. SHE AGREED THAT THIS IS A TERRIBLE INTER- <br />SECTION AND STATED THAT SHE HAS BEEN WORKING ON THIS PROBLEM FOR MONTHS; <br />HAS A COPY OF ALL THE TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS; AND, IN FACT, HAS HAD THE DOT <br />UP HERE ON TWO.000ASIONS TRYING TO JUSTIFY THE NEED FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT <br />AT THAT INTERSECTION. COMMISSIONER LOY NOTED THAT WE MAY HAVE TO PAVE <br />THE EAST SIDE OF THE INTERSECTION Its ORDER TO MAKE IT A PROPER INTER- <br />SECTION SO WE CAN PUT UP THE RIGHT TYPE OF LIGHT. SHE AGREED THAT THE <br />PEDESTRIAN LIGHT IS AS. MUCH OF A HAZARD AS A HELP. SHE ASKED IF THERE <br />ARE ANY SCHOOL CHILDREN WHO PRESENTLY LIVE ON THE EAST SIDE IN THIS AREA <br />AND USE THE LIGHT TO GET ACROSS. <br />MR. LUNDY THOUGHT THERE WERE VERY FEW, IF ANY, <br />COMMISSIONER LOY STATED THAT SHE WILL CHECK ON THIS WITH THE <br />SCHOOL SYSTEM. <br />COMMISSIONER SIEBERT FELT IT MIGHT BE BETTER TO HAVE NO LIGHT <br />AT ALL THAN THE PRESENT ONE, AND COMMISSIONER LOY AGREED IT MIGHT BE <br />BETTER IF THE LIGHT WERE TURNED OFF. <br />MR. LUNDY CONCLUDED HIS PRESENTATION AND STATED THAT HE WOULD <br />TURN A LIST OF ACCOUNTS OVER TO MR. NELSON SO HE -COULD CHECK ON WATER <br />METERS. <br />FRANK ZORC REQUESTED PERMISSION TO SPEAK IN REGARD TO THE <br />HOUSING AUTHORITY. HE STATED THAT HE HAS HAD AN INTEREST IN A HOUSING <br />AUTHORITY FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AND FINDS IT INCREDIBLE THAT WE ARE <br />FACED WITH MORE DELAYS BEFORE A DECISION IS MADE. HE STATED THAT IF, <br />AS ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED, ALL THAT IS NEEDED TO ESTABLISH A HOUSING <br />AUTHORITY IS A HEARING TO DETERMINE THE NEED, HE FELT THE NEED HAS <br />BEEN DETERMINED MANY TIMES OVER AND THAT THE HEARING COULD BE HELD SOONER. <br />MR. ZORC THEN READ AN ARTICLE FROM THE PRESS .JOURNAL QUOTING REPP.ESEN- <br />TATIVE PATCHETT AS STATING THAT THE COUNTY COMMISSION DOES NOT HAVE TO <br />WAIT -FOR THE BILL TO GO THROUGH THE LEGISLATURE AND THAT THEY COULD MAKE <br />THE HOUSING AUTHORITY CONTINGENT UPON THE PASSING OF THE SPECIAL ACT. <br />APR 4 1979 <br />'26 <br />�� 30 PAGE 380 <br />
