Sam Best from the Peninsula Borough Planning Zoning Commision was here to aid in the discussion. Many; questions arose from the floor. There were no objection to the plan,oniy questions on the procedures. It was agreed that we should have the engineer make maps to place in public places, showing the drives, avenues, lanes, streets, etc., where they start, with what letter, number etc. A discussion followed on what divisions of the city would actually be best in aiding of naming and numbering of streets. Fisher made a motion to rescend Item (d) under New Business from the minutes of July 22, 1970, using the section line between Section 32 33 extending North and South as a guide line for the East -West Sections and the Kenai River as a guideline for the South section. Coyle seconded Passed Unanimously. Coyle moved to have the section line between Section 28 29 and 32 33, T6N, R11W and Sections !t 5 and 8 9, T5N, R11W as the division between East West. The section corner located at the intersection of Walker Lane and the proposed First Ave has bee n selected as the initial point. Fisher seconded Passed Unanimously. Fisher made a motion, that starting with the West Airport boundary and going West or the NW Quadrant, all drives running North and South should have names of treets starting with the Letter "A° etc. The avenues running East and West to be numbered 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. And in the NE Quadrant all drives running North and South should have Alaskan historical names starting with the letter "A" etc. That the avenues running East and West be numbered lst, 2nd 3rd, etc. The avenues running East and West in the SE Quadrant be designated as A.ave, B.ave, etc. Some drives and avenues should retain names that are of historical value, changing only the suffixes as necessary.

(b) It was agreed upon to forestall until the next meeting, the City's P Z's comments and recommendations of Ord. 70 -1 so each member could have more time to review it.

(c) Red Jaynes was heard on park improvement. We are due to get $8,000 $9 from the state on the park that is near completion. He asked do we want to use that money, with matching money from the state, for more parks?
