SEP 2 41980 Boa 44 PAGE 686 COMMISSIONER WODTKE ASKED WHAT RESPONSIBILITY THE BLUE CYPRESS PARK MANAGER HAS FOR REPAIR AND UPKEEP. ADMINISTRATOR NELSON STATED THAT THE CONTRACT IS VERY SKETCHY ON THAT - ABOUT ALL WE HAVE HIM DO IS EMPTY THE TRASH AND MOW THE GRASS. HE FELT THE DEPLORABLE THING IS THAT WE DID NOT GET A REPORT ON THE POOR CONDITION OF THIS PARK UNTIL PARKS SUPERVISOR BILL COOK WAS SENT OUT TO MAKE AN INSPECTION. MR. NELSON STATED THAT ONCE THE FACILITIES CAN BE BROUGHT UP TO STANDARD, HE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE PARK MANAGER MIDDLETON MADE RESPONSIBLE TO REPAIR OR REPORT ANYTHING HE CAN'T MAINTAIN AT THIS PARK. DISCUSSION AROSE ON WHERE TO FIND THE FUNDS FOR THIS PUR- POSE, AND MR. NELSON FELT THERE WERE SOME FUNDS AVAILABLE IN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER WODTKE, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY ACCEPTED THE ADMINISTRATOR'S RECOM- MENDATIONS FOR REPAIRS AT BLUE CYPRESS LAKE PARK AS SET OUT IN HIS MEMORANDUM OF SEPTEMBER 15TH WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THE FUNDS WILL COME FROM THIS YEAR'S BUDGET. TRAFFIC SIGNALIZATION - APPROVED ADMINISTRATOR NELSON DISCUSSED WITH THE BOARD THE INSTALLA- TION OF A FULLY ACTUATED TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT 16TH STREET AND 20TH AVENUE AND REPORTED THAT HE HAS RECEIVED A PROPOSAL FROM SIGNAL CONSTRUC- TION COMPANY TO DO THIS WORK FOR $11,500. HE NOTED THAT AN EASEMENT WILL BE NECESSARY FOR THE POLE LOCATION ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE INTERSECTION, AND THE GENTLEMAN OWNING THAT PROPERTY HAS AGREED TO GIVE AN EASEMENT, MR. NELSON CONTINUED THAT THIS IS NOT THE TOTAL SOLUTION TO THE TRAFFIC PROBLEM IN THAT AREA, BUT IT WILL GIVE SOME DEGREE OF IMPROVEMENT. HE REPORTED THAT HE HAD MET WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD, CITY MANAGER LITTLE, AND CHIEF MCCALL ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THIS CITY HAS A VERY NICE INTERSECTION MODIFICATION AND IMPROVEMENT PLAN, BUT IT COSTS $128,000. MR. NELSON STATED THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO START THE MOVEMENT IN IMPROVEMENTS BY INSTALLING THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL. 106 m
