~ /4- e E. Recommendation, Charitable Solicitations Ordinance, County - Council members received copies of a memorandum from the Charitable Solicitations COnmllssion requesting the Council approach County COnmllssionerswithregard to their adoption -of an ordinance parallel to the City's ordinance on screening of fund raising campaigns. The City's ordinance has been quite effective and beneficial but telephone solicitations are being made from outside the City limits which subvert a portion of the effort in the City. Mr. Williams moved seconded by Mr. Gribskov to draft a request addressed to the County COnmllssioners urging the County's adoption of a chari table soli ci tations ordinance. Motion carried. F. Petition for Paving, Sidewalk, Storm Sewer - Centennial from Centennial Loop West to 300 feet east of Centennial Loop East (64%) - Manager said improvement is on street running north from Centennial Boulevard where commercial construction is in progress, and it is desirable the street be brought to Ci ty standards when the commercial uses take place. Mr. Williams moved seconded by Mr. Gribskov to accept the petition and public hear- ing held. Motion carried. G.

Council Self-study Session - Mayor Anderson asked if Council members would be interested in holding a self-study session as has been done in recent years at the beginning of a new year.

Conncil Officers, - Council Vice President Mohr, conducting the meeting in the ab- sence of Mayor Anderso!l, announced election of Council officers for the year 1972; Councilman Mohr, president; Mrs. Beal, vice president. K. Sidewalk Petition, Barger Drive and Echo Hollow Road - Submitted by 332 petitioners for temporary sidewalk on one side of Barger Drive from Ohio Street to Echo Hollow Road and on one side of Echo Hollow Road from Barger Drive to Willhi Street, and con- sideration of resurfacing Barger Drive. The petition also asked that the improve- ments be made without assessment to abutting properties. Manager pointed out a number of pol.icy questions: 1. City does not pay cost of temporary walks because permanent walks are preferable. 2. Temporary walks delay permanent walk installation. 3. Money for purchase of additional right-of-way to accommodate walks on Barger must be budgeted. There are no estimates at this time. 4. The City normally precedes sidewalk installation with permanent street improvements. 5. Permanent improvement of Echo Hollow and Barger is needed, permanent walks on one or both sides could accompany the street project. 6. City would need funds for extra width and storm sewers if permanent streets are built. These funds are not budgeted. 7. Property owners would normally be assessed for cost of permanent sidewalks and standard street width. 8. variance from normal City policy to construct temporary walks would result in similar requests from other areas. Maps were presented showing where additional right-of-way would be needed. Council previously toured the area. Staff recommended denial of the petition and that they be requested to bring back cost estimates on permanent improvements with a breakdown of cost to property owners and to Ci ty; the information could be used in preparation of the 1972-73 budget. Cost estimates for sidewalk on one side of Barger and Echo Holloware: Concrete - $59,152; Asphalt and Rock - $31,806; Crushed Rock - $18,285. Estimates are notnow available on acquisi tion of right-of-way", ei ther permanent or temporary. Staff does not feel a temporary ins tallation between the surfaced mat and existing di tch is safe. Council members generally agreed temporary installation is not desirable and that if the City paid for the improvements, a new approach would have to be taken with regard to the City's assessment policy. Mr. Mohr suggested a meeting with interested persons in t1w neighborhood to discuss the improvements requested and answer questions. Manager said a neighborhood com- Ini ttee in the State Streets area development program was encouraged and it might be well to meet with that committee after figures and information on alternative pro- posals are available. Mr. Williams asked the staff to include in its estimates for consideration costs of a temporary walk on an assessment basis which would not preclude going back later and reassessing for permanent improvements. ~ :[ II II 01 Ii 'i :1 I' I Comm 1/19/72 Approve Comm 1/19/72 Approve e Approve I Approve Comm 1/12/72 Affirm Comm 1/19/72 !: Affirm I It I e 1/24/72 - 7
