1. INVESTMENT PROPOSAL - First Security Bank

Randy Church, representing First Security Bank, presented and explained information regarding investment rates, and the different options that are available. The rates fluctuate on a day-to-day basis. If the City wants to receive bids from various banks, the best way to handle this is to schedule a time for them to call in their rates. He offered his services to the City and stated that First Security Bank is willing to give Price City quotations on their investments at any time. Their programs are all in line with the Money Management Act. The Council thanked Mr. Church for his input. The Council directed that this be studied further.

13. HANS MILLER - Request To Waive Previous Conditions

Councilmember Piccolo reported that the Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the request of Hans Miller to waive three requirements the City requested him to comply with pertaining to his business at 400 South Carbon Avenue. In December, 1995, the City imposed six conditions. Sometime after that, only three were brought before the P&Z. Since that time, Mr. Miller has done nothing to the 3 conditions. After some lengthy discussion, the Commission physically inspected the property. They found that virtually nothing had been done on Mr. Miller's part to comply with the regulations asked of him. There are no site obscuring fences. A fence on the south of the property is partially obscured, but P&Z felt that the entire length of the fence should be obscured. Mrs. Pappas owns a home on the west side of the property, but she does not want the area fenced with slats. Mr. Miller does not want to pave the area around his building. However, in the past, the Commission has required pavement in the front of buildings for all businesses. Mr. Miller wants to place only a gravel base, as his large trucks driving through the property would tear up asphalt. The Commission understands that part. However, they feel the area in front of the building should have pavement. There is also a question of a designated sidewalk on the north side of the building to insure safe pedestrian travel. Presently, the area is paved and overlayed with bituminous material, which starts at the building and goes out to the street. Cars park along this side of the building, and there is nothing to indicate a walkway. If Mr. Miller chooses not to lay concrete, then he should stripe and designate an area for pedestrian travel past his property. There is also serious deterioration of the curb due to heavy truck traffic. Mayor Colosimo stated that he talked to Francis Duzenack, and it is Francis' recommendation that Mr. Miller be required to comply with the regulations set forth by the Commission. Mr. Sampinos stated that Francis and Gary Sonntag will prepare a letter with their recommendations and present it to P&Z. Planning and Zoning will review the letter and make a recommendation to the Council.
