" A T T HE LAST REGULAR MEETING Of THE COUNCIL, ATTENTION WAS GIVEN TO THE PROBLEM Of PARKING HEAVY VEHICLES OVER-NIGHT ON CITY STREETS. I HAVE AT HAND A WRITTEN OPINION Of THE CITY ATTORNEY TO THE EffECT THAT THE COUNCIL I WOULD HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO SPECIf'Y CERTAIN STREETS WITHIN THE CITY ON WHICH OVER-NIGHT PARKING WOULD BE PROHIBITED AND/OR CERTA IN TYPES Of VEHICLES WOULD BE BANNED. WHILE THE LACK Of GARAGE fACILITIES MAKES COMPLETE ENfORCEMENT AGAINST OVER-NIGHT PARKING IMPRACTICAL AT THIS TIME, I BELIEVE THAT THE WORST TRAffiC HAZARDS MIGHT BE ELIMINATED THROUGH SUCH CLASSifiCATION AND WOULD RECOMMEND TO THE COUNCIL THAT AUTHORIZATION BE GIVEN fOR A STUDY Of THIS PROBLEM BY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE PUBLIC SAfETY COMMITTEE, AND THAT THE COMM I TTEE BE INSTRUCTED TO BRING IN A REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS. .

A REPO RT fROM THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT INDICATES THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL TO RELOCATE THE LINE OWING TO RESTRICTED CLEARANCES fOR EQUIPMENT AN 0 THE fACT THAT WE WOULD BE UNABLE TO UTILIZE PRESENT MANHOLES ON THE EXISTING LINE TO BE REPLACED. ON THE BASIS THAT THIS I MPROVEME NT IS BADLY NEEDED TO RELIEVE fLOOD CONDITIONS TO ADJACENT PROPERTIES AND THAT IT IS EXTREMELY DOUBTfUL THAT A RE-ADVERTISEMENT Of BIOS WOULD I BRING A LOWER PRICE fO R T HIS WORK fOR SOME TIME TO COME, IT IS MY RECOMMENDATION THAT THE BID AS SUBMITTED BE ACCEPTED AND THE CONTRACT AlI/ARDED.
