<br /> ---- ----- <br /> # <br /> . Mr. Williams said he had no aversion to studying all City paperwork. <br /> However, this request was directed exactly as to how much the Affirmative <br /> Action Report cost, and associated handling costs. He suggested the <br /> e evidence resulting might show some reporting cost methods might need <br /> to be revamped. In response to a question from Mr. Lieuallen, Mr. Williams <br /> questioned why three or four reports were needed, when the study of <br /> one could produce some results that may show the need to study it more. <br /> Mr. Lieuallen said he felt this mayor may not be the appropriate one to <br /> s tu dy . Mr. 'Williams reiterated he was asking staff for costs on this <br /> particular one. <br /> Mr. Delay said his response was not simply the fact that Councilor <br /> Williams had asked for costs of this Affirmative Action Report that <br /> brought his response, but the fact that he referred to it as being <br /> a questionable and debatable kind of procedure. He wanted to find out <br /> what Mr. Williams' real concern was. He wondered if Mr. Williams' concern <br /> was really with the costs of government. <br /> Mr. Williams again requested some approximate cost of the Affirmative <br /> Action Report so Council could assess whether or not it had received a <br /> good return on its money. <br /> Manager said staff could respond from two weeks to a month. <br /> Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, to refer the <br /> Affirmative Action Report ~o the Human Rights Council for <br /> review. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> e III. Authorizing Acquisition and Condemnation of Right-of-Way for Bike/ <br /> Pedestrian Paths: Marshall Avenue and Riverview/Augusta Street <br /> Manager said the requests were part of the Master Bikeway Plan in the city <br /> and had been approved by the neighborhood associations as well as the <br /> Planning and Public Works staffs. The projects are to be funded by <br /> Community Development funds. <br /> In response to a question from Mr. Haws, Don Allen, Director of Public <br /> Works, said both were included in the City's Master Bike Plan. Presently <br /> the Marshall Avenue path is constructed on the east up to Taney Street. <br /> The intent is to terminate the project at Echo Hollow. The bike path <br /> constructed will be ten-feet wide along the existing 16-foot right-of-way. <br /> Mayor Keller expressed concern with the bike paths being located in <br /> backyards, rather than on the streets, with the property owners building <br /> fences to screen off the bike paths. Mr. Allen said there was no way the <br /> City could keep property owners from screening their properties. He sa i d <br /> there was always the possibility of vandalism, nuisance, etc., resulting <br /> in property owners separating their property. 'Property owners can build <br /> fences right to property lines. <br /> . <br /> e 6/21/78--3 <br /> ~Sl <br />
