Councilwoman Puckett moved to accept the bid by Mathes Electric,
provided all specifications are met. Seconded by Councilman
Bishop, motion passed unanimously.
A small group from Rosa Acres presented a petition requesting
a traffic light be installed at Edwards Avenue/Greeno Road
intersection. Mayor Nix explained Greeno Road was a state
highway (Hwy 98) and the request would have to be presented
to the State Highway Department. This has been done before
and the request was not granted. After discussion, Councilman
25 May 1992 1301
Bishop moved to forward the request and petition to the State.
Seconded by Councilman Ford, motion passed unanimously.
Councilman White reported that he had looked at the blind
corners brought to the Council's attention by Mr. Tim Billings.
He had also reviewed existing ordinances on the subject of
parking spacing and found them to be adequate to alleviating
the problem at St. James/Church intersection. Councilman
White said where spacing did not help, deleting or reducing
the size of the first space to each side of the intersection
should take care of the blind corner although this will incon-
vience persons seeking parking spaces in the area. He also
recommended deletion/reduction for the Nichols/Section, the
White/Section, and the Magnolia/No. Summit intersections.
A group of some 30-35 persons, upset by recent maintenance
work in Knoll Park, presented a petition requesting that
the Park be left in a "natural" state. Street Superintendent
Tim Kant explained that the maintenance work is necessary
because of liability problems, that the trees and limbs removed
were due to their being dead or hollow and threatening to
fall and injure passers-by, and the azaleas removed were
due to their being overgrown with briers and other growth
and they will be replaced. Kant stated there are no plans
to place benches, picnic tables, or gazebos in the park.
He went on to say there are plans to make Knoll Park a "walking
park" with species of every type flora possible, for study
by students and for the "safe" enjoyment of all, and that
interested persons will be invited to help with this project
in the near future.
There being no other business, meeting was duly adjourned
at 6:01 pm.
