E. Recommendation, Charitable Solicitations Ordinance, County - Council members received copies of a memorandum from the Charitable Solicitations Commission requesting the Council approach County Gommissioners wi th regard 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' Commissioners urging the County's adoption of a charitable solicitations ordinance. Motion carried. F.

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 ~d on one side of Echo Hollow Road from Barger Drive to Willhi St,reet, and con- sideration of resurfacing Barger Drive. The petition also asked that the improve- ments be made wi thout assessment to abutting properties. Manager pointed out a number of policy questions: ,1. City does nO,t pay cost of temporary walks because permanent walks are preferable. 2. Temporary walks delay permanent walk installation. 3. Money for purchase of addi tional right-of-way to aCcommodate walks on Bilrger 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 poliC!J to construct temporary walks would result in similar requests from other areas. Naps were presented showing where additional, right-of-way would !fe needed. Counc;il previously toured the area. Staff reCQllllDended denial of the petition and that they be requested to bring back cost estimates on permanent improvements with abreaJedown of cost to property owners and to City; the information could be used in preparation of the 1972-73 budget. Cost estimates for sidewalk on one side of Barger and Echo Hollow are: 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 insta1.1ation between 'the surfaced mat and eJdsting ditch is safe. Counc1,l meu,ers generally agreed temporary installation is not! desirable and that if ' ithe City paid for the improvements, a' net( approaCh would have to be taken with regard to the Ci ty 's assessment poll C!J. 1Ir. Nohr suggested a meeting with interested persons in tbe 12eighborhood to discUss the' improvements requested and answer questions. Nanager said a neighborhOOd COIIt- , mi ttee in the State Streets area development program was encouraged and 'i t m1ghtbe well to meet with that C'OIIlIDittee after figures and information onaltemative pro- posals are available. Nr. Willians asked the staff to include in its estimates for consideration costs t;'f a temporarY walk on an assessment basis which would not preclude, going back later and reassessing for permanent improvements. 14 -"';;'.
