ACTING ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER WLGNER asked if the Council wishes
all the Dep rtment Heads to be present at the Employees' Meeting
with the Council Thursday night. The Civil Service Commission
has been notified, also the employees. This information was
requested by Chief Bailey. COUNCILMAN CARRIGAN said the
employees have requested the meeting with the Council and that
he does not necessarily feel that the Department Heads are
required to be present, or that they should be kept out, it is
an open meeting, and anybody that is connected with the City,
in the way of an employee, Department Head, or otherwise,
should attend the meeting if they wish. COUNCILMAN CLrRK; said
he was in accord with Mr. Carrigan.

from Mr. Simmons, Right-of-way Engineer, a memorandum, stating

dedication on Lanoitan Avenue between 18th and 24th Street. Ono
man has moved to Kansas, and he has been written to in this
regard. Another is on vacation and will contact Mr. Simmons
later. The two remaining property owners refuse to sign ease-
ments unless the City buys the right-of-way from them. The
Utility Company wishes to place a gas line on Lanoitan Avenue,
and have been wafting for the City to secure the easements. Mr.
Simmons is writing the Utility Company asking them to place the
gas line on the east side of Lanoitan so that we may be able to
pave the street, leaving four remaining parcels out at this
time. 2. Easement on llth Street just west of Paradise Drive
from Noema F. Trummer. This will complete the right-of-way on
llth Street between Paradise Drive and "T" Avenue. 3. Easement
on "K" Avenue just north of 13th Street, from Kile and Donna K.
Morgan. One more easement is necessary to complete said right -
Of -way. 4. Easement on Valle Vista Avenue from F. A. Richards,
Jr. This completes the right-of-way necessary on this street.
5. Easement on llth Street between Palm and SIR" Avenues from
Edward and Marie Smith. This completes the ri;',ht-of-way between
said streets. Mr. Simmons said he has contacted ell property
owners between Sanitarium and Harbison Avenue on 4th Street to
obtain money for the grading. A11 owners have put up money with
the exception of one and an appointment has been made at a later
date. We should be able to re -surface this street in July.
COUNCILMAN CARR IGAN asked if it is necessary that these easements
be taken care of this evening and suggested the adjourned meeting
Thursday. WILLIAM VILLELLA, Realtor, was present and stated that
it is desirable for the owner who proposes to grant an easement
on llth between Palm and "R" Avenues that early action be taken
on it because there are tiro a-Dlications now in the F. H. A. foi
construction of houses, for -{hich contracts have already been
let. F. H. A. will not accept these contracts due to the fact
6/5
851
that llth Street is only a half dedicated street. This ease-
ment would correct the situation and will make a great differ-
ence in dollars and cents to the owner of the property whether
the easement is accepted now or next week. VICE MAYOR CURRY
stated the Attorney will prepare a resolution and action can
be taken tonight.
