MOTIONS

Malston, to adopt the ordinance.
There was no public comment.
City Manager Brighton said he was not in favor of
passing the ordinance. Even if the ordinance is
passed and the basic engineering is done, it may be 4
or 5 years before the money is available as it will
come from ADAP funds. It is also 4th or 5th on the
priority list. We will also need $4 or $5 Million
to get to this. He suggested Council wait till there
is a possibility of getting ADAP funds. Councilman
Wise said his proposal was - ADAP funds must be
approved by the State before submittal. He is
interested in submittal to FAA. He assumed FAA
would notify us if it was not available and we
could ask the Governor -Elect for inclusion in his
budget. He did not want this to be funded by the City

had said no work session was scheduled. It was
his impression at the last work session that

man wise said the items he is interested in dis-
cussing ares

quate money. Councilman Malston said he is sure
there are many areas that need lights equally as
bad. Mayor O'Reilly asked if there was any City-
wide survey of this. City Manager Brighton replied
he did not know of one.
Ruby Coyle. The light on Barrabara Dr. off Beaver
Loop burns 24 hours a day.
Mrs. Coyle asked if there was going to be a public
hearing on zoning powers before accept`.ng zoning
powers by the City? Councilwoman Glick replied
a motion was drafted by P&Z that hearings will
be held before a recommendation is submitted to
Council. Mrs. Coyle asked if it will be adver-
tised. She added there are several people Lhat
are not in favor till Title 29 is rewritten.
Mayor O'Reilly said they will ask for public
hearings, and that there was a motion on the
floor.
Councilwoman Glick asked if there was a community -
wide survey, we may need to do one. Are we re-
placing private pole lights and regular street
lights? Councilman Maiston said there is a change
in HEA rates and their way of handling street
lights, Public Works Director Kornelis said we
are trying to get on meter. Tinker and Walker are
on meter, some are not. He needs a letter to HEA
asking for rates. Councilman Wise said he would
_e.

remind Council and the public these are important
areas. He asked last June or July to have lights
put in but has had no reaction. He didn't wish
to go to petition, he feels it is unnecessary.
Forest & Redoubt are hazard areas, the State has
denied them. Accident reports back him up. There
are many more streets with needs, but this is a
critical area.
