The MacDonald property is being seeded to grass this week t and one of the ball infields will be clayed as soon as I ra able to etttortbeclay from the Lake County Commissioners. Some minor grading is y done along MonLr:ose Street but this can be done with City owned equipment. We received a check from ":)..U.D. for their part of the cost of this property last week. The cost of .radar equipment- for the Police Department is approximately $1,000.00. While it is not absolutely essential that two persons be i used for its operation it is highly recommended. It is my understanding that most muni.cipali-ti.es allow ten rniles ill excess of the posted speed i limit when radar equipment is ni-Ised.norh`lenI that aitrtJnlwillvbenofoanyction to purchasing radar to us. Our press+nt difficulty.iss is having special benefit cover at the right place at the right time. It :is simply impossible to all parts of the city regularly or often. I have forwarded to Mr. Dake the corrections to the proposed zoning map. He 'phoned me yesterday and advised that he was making the necessary changes and that we would be ready for a public hearing the early part of August. The matter. of improving Montrose Street, in the downtown area, was referred to me for a cost estimate. A joint meeting of some members of the Planning Commission, representatives of the DownTown Merchants held about three weeks ago. Following this Association and myself was submitted plans which were acceptable to meeting the Planning Commission the Merchants Associati.on.m+The cost Ofishshuuldecne increasedtoabout minimum of $3r600.00t 1opinion $5,000.00 in order: to take in a larger area. In ifynolallr, of thproperty owners in this area should bear the major owners "r expense. If possible, and the property owners are agreeable, I recommend that a speci.a]. tar: levy of twoo ii cesbetween.c$5500.00ed onlandr$fi000y00�r at least two years. This will p There is also the matter of side walks to be replaced, This is also the responsibility of the property owners and the cost Will run at $2.00 to $3.00 per lineal foot (depending on the tridth) and this does not include removing the old cement. The overall project- is rather expensive - 2 - and, in my opinion, the property owners and businessmen should be in accord before the project starts. it is my further recommendation that none of this work be done prior to installation of sewer mains. I will continue to work with the Downtown Merchants and the Planning commission and will keep you advised. I am happy to report that H.U.D. has agreed with some of our arguments and cancelled the $9400.00 loan which they made to us many years ago for sewer system plans.
