Mr. Charles Antos, 316 - lOth Street, referred to a new development at 320 Main street, stated that the contractor had informed him that the City paid for one-half of the new, decorative sidewalk, and asked if the Council had been informed of same. The Acting City Manager responded that the decorative sidewalk is part of the overall Main Street improvement plan, and in the case of new development or remodeling, the developer pays the cost of the decorative brick portion of the sidewalk improvement, the City paying for the concrete portion only, rather than the entire cost as is customary in the business area. Mr. Antos suggested a sidewalk improvement policy be enacted that would include costs. Councilman Clift noted the potential of City liability from sidewalks in need of repair, stating that more sidewalk repair can be accomplished with fund available if the costs are shared by the fronting business.

Mr. Antos referred to the report from the Acting City Manager regarding water rates, stated he 1-13-86 has never seen a water operation report that indicated the need for two new wells, and inquired as to the water capital improvement fund that was established at the time of improvements to the Beverly Manor Reservoir. Councilman Clift responded that there has been a gradual attrition of those funds because water rates have not kept pace with costs, noting that each time a rate increase is delayed, a greater increase will be necessary in the future. Mayor Risner also noted that the Council would be examining other I alternatives to the three scenarios presented by the Acting City Manager in the future. with regard to the sidewalk improvements at 320 Main Street, Councilman Grgas inquired if Mr. Antos was proposing that said improvements be a condition of the project, totally at the developers expense. Mr. Antos responded in the affirmative. Councilman Grgas also asked if Mr. Antos had acted as agent for the 320 Main Street project when it was inti ally submitted; Mr. Antos responded in the negative. Mr. James Gilkerson, 1011 Electric Avenue, referred to past business improvements on Main street where the owner has paid the entire sidewalk improvement, and suggested that funds being used to construct the decorative sidewalk areas be used to replace the sidewalks that have been temporarily patched with asphalt. Mr. Glen Dulac, 1019-1/2'Electric, referred to City liability from sidewalks in need of repair and from consumption of alcoholic beverages on public property, with specific reference to the Christmas parade, suggesting that it is time the revitalization of Main Street be reevaluated, stating that Old Town businesses have rejected, and do not need this type of revitalization, also stating that he had been told that the City has denied licenses for service businesses on Main Street, such as beauty parlors. Mr. Dulac asked that the Council reform the Downtown Task Force, consisting of volunteer members, to study the downtown area. Mayor I Risner responded that the City Council and the Police Department have been informed of alleged problems at the Christmas parade, and that stricter enforcement would be forthcoming next year. Mrs. Stromeier again addressed the Council, stated she had never indicated in her letters to the press that it was not a good parade, stated she did not feel the issue would be properly addressed by the Police Department or the downtown merchants, stating she had hoped the issue would be addressed by the Council, however felt that liquor licenses would continue to be issued, and stated her intent to contact the Mothers Against Drunk Driving to look at Main Street.
