COLLECTION METHOD
City Manager Saunders stated that the City was looking at two
methods for recycling collection, which were the use of a small
trailer similar to a yard service trailer or possibly a used
beverage truck. After considerable discussion, it was the
consensus of Council that the trailer would be the best method.
City Manager Saunders stated that he would present a proposal for
the purchase of these trailers at an upcoming Council Meeting.
Mr. Turville stated that he felt the City should proceed as rapidly
as possible with the permitting of its own compost site as a
safeguard for the future.
DROP-OFF CENTERS FOR RECYCLABLE MATERIALS
The next item discussed was the need for drop-off centers for
recyclable materials. It was the consensus of Council that the
City should allow the South Lake Animal League to handle this for
the time being and that the City should in its literature for
recycling encourage people to patronize the various local
organizations and churches who utilize recycling as a method for
fund raising.
BEAVER HOUSE USES
The next item discussed was possible uses for the Seaver house.
City Manager Saunders stated that he had been approached by the
South Lake Ministerial Association who would like to use the house
for the Neighborhood Center. After discussion, it was the
consensus of Council that this could be a viable use for the
building and a Workshop with representatives from the Ministerial
Association should be scheduled to further discuss their future
needs.
PALATLARAHA RECREATION AREA
City Manager Saunders informed the Council that the perimeter berm
at the park had been completed and it was not constructed exactly
as designed by Mr. Undeck due to same slopes and other restraints.
It was further explained that some modifications would be needed
to the planting, design and irrigation in the new layout. Mr.
Saunders continued by stating that it had been very difficult to
contact Mr. Undeck, and unless he can be reached by the end of the
week, the City needed to go to another alternative in dealing with
the berm.
It was then suggested that the City use Springstead Engineering who
could contract with a local landscape architect on a time basis to
modify the plans to meet the new berm layout. It was the consensus
of Council to move as quickly as possible and that this would be
an acceptable alternative.

JAYCEE BEACH SAND REPLACEMENT PROJECT
Mayor Pool stated that he had a few issues he would like to discuss
and said that he would like to proceed with placing the additional
sand at Jaycee Beach as soon as possible.
City Manager Saunders explained that the City was in the midst of
the Triloc project and as soon as it was completed the City would
move into the sand project. Mayor Pool also expressed concern
over the Cyprus knees emerging at the beach area due to the low
water. City Manager Saunders stated that he would further
investigate the matter to see if soanething could be done to resolve
the problem.
THOMAS PROPERTY ACROSS FROM BISHOP FIELD
Mayor Pool then stated that he felt Marino Thomas had been very
accommodating by allowing spectators and players to use his vacant
property across from Bishop Field for parking but that he felt that
he would rather not have the cars there. He further stated that
the city parking lot north of the ball field was not being utilized
and it should be.
After scone discussion, it was the consensus of Council that the
City would put up "No Parking" signs on the Thomas property to
discourage parking there.
COUNCIL MEMBER SALARY ADJUSTMENT
The next item discussed by Mayor Pool was an adjustment to the
Council Members salaries. He explained that a salary increase
could be voted upon at this time but could not go into effect until
after an election due to the fact that a incumbent Council cannot
vote themselves a salary increase. He suggested that an increase
be made at this time and would not become effective until after the
election in 1991 so all Council Members would receive the increase
simultaneously.
It was the consensus of Council that this would be discussed during
Budget Workshops.
