A letter from Jubilee Music Company was read requesting per-
mission to block off Del La Mar Avenue from Section Street to
8 July 19991
1207
Church Street from 5:30 pm to 10:30 pm on July 22nd for a
Street Dance. This is in connection with the Alabama Association
of School Boards convention. The letter had an attached list
of residents of Del La Mar Avenue who were not opposed to the
blocking of their street, but there was one property owner who
stated he was opposed. During discussion, it was mentioned that
the blocking of Fairhope Avenue (from Section to Church) might
be a better plan since there are no residential sites along
that block. Councilman Ford moved to authorize the Mayor to
work out a location for the street dance. Seconded by Councilman
Duck, motion passed unanimously.
There being no other business, meeting was duly adjourned
at 5:50 pm.
