clearing of title. Mr. Turnbull stated that the Commission might
choose or not choose to sell alcohol at a later time, and the
Council has the authority to pass ordinances regarding the sell of
alcohol. Mr. Turnbull urged the Council to proceed with the
clearing of title to this property and settle the issue of alcohol
at a later time.
Councilman Scheulen questioned the continued violation of the
original will and what had prompted the quit claim dead that had
been signed by seven of the heirs in the 1960s. City Counselor
Allen Garner stated that there had been a search for records in
private firms, but the City had not been able to find any
background on the quick claim deed.
Councilman Haake stated he did not believe that having violated the
will in the past was any excuse for continuing to violate the will.
Councilman Mason stated he believed it was an ethical issue at this
time and that the City needed to abide by the terms of the will.
Mr. Dennis Morriaey, 1222 Amity, npoke to the Council as a member
of Hough Park. Mr. Morr,iscy stated this issue had been around for
long time and he found it curious that it was becoming such a
controversy at election time. Mr. Morrissey stated he thought the
Council might wont to delay any action on this issue until after
the election. Mr. Morr.isoy also stated the City could not utilize
selective enforcement. if they wore going to adhere to one
condition of the will , they must adhere to all the conditions.
Ma. Janet Ousley, 1018 Mississippi Street, informed the Council she
represented u number of residents that were opposed to the sale of
alcohol at Hough Park. Ms. Ousley stated that Mr. Hough was a very
intelligent man who knew what ho was doing when he gave the City
this property and imposed the conditions on this property. Ms.
Ousley requested Dr. Joseph Sommers, 2313 W. Main, come and give
the Council a brief history on Mr. Hough. Dr. Sommers briefly
described the background of Mr. Hough, who was an attorney and had
served as a judge in this area. Ms. Ousley informed the Council
she had petitions that had been signed by several individuals
requesting the condemnation suit against Hough Park be withdrawn.
Councilman Veile stated he had indicated he would call for Council
action to withdraw the lawsuit, however, after further study of the
matter, had determined the best way to proceed was with the
introduction of an ordinance repealing the condemnation ordinance.
Councilman Veile stated he would not be requesting suspension of
the rules for this bill, as he felt the Council and public should
be given the two weeks to further study this issue.
Councilman Feldman questioned if the Council repeals the
condemnation ordinance, if they are in fact then committed to
fulfill all the conditions of the will. City Counselor Allen
Garner reviewed for the Council some of the other alternatives

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING, MARCH 4, 1991
available.
Councilman Scheulen stated he believed it would be very
hypocritical on the part of the Council to withdraw the lawsuit and
then not fulfill the conditions of the will. Councilman Scheulen
suggested an alternative might be the possibility of condemnation
with damages. This would allow the City to take the monies awarded
in damages and find a like piece of property and fulfill all the
conditions of the will on this parcel. Councilman Scheulen stated
he did not think the City could realistically fulfill all the
conditions of the will at Hough Park.
Mr. Todd Morris, 3900 Rustic Lane, spoke '- , the Council
representing Youth to Youth. Mr. Morris stated that the hope for
the future is in our children. Mr. Morris stated that this area is

prospect of this program. Councilman Feldman moved the Council
support in principle this concept. Councilman Owens seconded the
motion.

items to be taken and where the recycled goods will be processed,
the motion was approved.
# # #
Mr. Kevin Wansing, 328 Bolivar, spoke to the Council representing
commuter students against the residential permit parking ordinance.

believed the residents in this area should be pleased at the
progress Lincoln University is making. Mr. Wansing presented the
