apply for the license transfer earlier than six months after they begin oper-
ating at their new premises, a 4/5 vote of the Council is necessary to waive-
that six month waiting period. Nr. Erickson suggested that, in plaming the

STORM SEWER IMPROVMENT NO. ST.S-150 EASEMENTS DISCUSSED; PROJECT TO BE REDUCED.
Mr. Dunn advised Council that, in response to his requests for easements for
construction of Storm Sewer Improvement No. ST.S-150, property owners at 6113 and
6153 Arctic Way agreed to grant easements, property owners of 6115 and 6149 Arctic
Way did not respond, and the property owner at 6151 Arctic Way said that he would
not grant an easemezlt. Mr. Dunn recommended that the project be cut back so that
it would only solve the problem for 6153 Arctic Way (the original petitioner).
explained that cost of the reduced project had been recalculated at $1,793.00,
some portion of which would still be assessed against 6153 as an extraordinary
benefit and that the maximum assessment for the remainder of the drainage district
would probably not exceed $200 for any one lot.
project would not solve the drainage problems of any of the other lots, but that
owners of these lots did not feel that they had any problems.
that the lot of the new house in the district has been regraded so that water
will flow into the inlet in the 10w,~spot.

against the entire drainage district at a lower rate of assessment,was seconded by

ENGINEERING PROPOSAL AUTEORIZED FOR CITY HALL GARAGE. Mr. Hyde called Council's
attention to a letter from Carl Walker & Associates, Inc., which proposed to pro-
vide the following services for a maximum cost of $3,500: 1) Prepare schematic
design drawings for a facility which will hold approximately 60 to 70 vehicles,
including police cars, vans and pick up trucks; 2) Evaluate the feasibility of
parking on top of this facility;
space construction above this facility;
entrance on the South side of the City Hall for night use; 5) Develop a cost
estimate for a specified building size, location and elevation, giving special
concern to traffic flow, ease of parking and access to the roadway system and
safety to all pedestrians. Councilman Richards questioned whether a covered
facility is needed. He suggested that the City should explore the options of
taking down the building and doing nothing, of taking down the building and
constructiag an on-grade surface parking facility, or of considering the options
proposed by the letter before authorizing the proposal under consideration.
Vsn Valkenburg said that he believes that it would be wise to have the facility
so that City vehicles would not have to be left outside and that It would be
worthwhile to look into the possibility or' adding office space at some future
time. Comcilman Courtney's motion accepting the proposal of Carl Walker h
Associates with the understanding that there is no commitment to build, was
