He added that the corridor committee reports to the corridor task force then 30 to the Greater Richmond Progress Committe and to the Mayor's office. 31 32 He said the Committee has had about 30 meetings,one of which was an open forum May 24, 1994 33 at Indiana Univeristy East attended by about 130 residents and concerned citizens. He said the 34 committee had deliberated since then, focusing on safety issues and traffic issues relative to U.S. 35 27 North. He said those recommendations have been passed on to the G.R.P.C. and the Mayor 36 and have been accepted. 37 38 Included in those recommendations, Dalphin said, is to establish sequential traffic lights down 39 Chester Boulevard, in particular, recommending four new ones located at a new intersection north 40 of Cox's Supermarket, one at Crestdale Drive where the school buses enter and exit,one at Sylvan 41 Nook Drive and one at the new Industries Road connection with Chester Boulevard when that is 42 done. 43 44 Other recommendations included establishing pedestrian crossings at each of the new 45 intersections; improvement of traffic law enforcement in respect to speed limits and other critical 46 safety laws; a media program to educate the populace in the area; the City initiate Chester 47 Boulevard modifications from 1-70 to the bridge at Reid Hospital in collaboration with the Indiana 48 Department of Transportation to include a fifth turn lane the length of Chester Boulevard and 49 incorporate a sidewalk on the east side of Chester Boulevard all the way to Cart Road; the City 50 commence preliminary planning for the building of a parallel roadway which is suggested in the 51 master plan as a part of an inner loop; the 1-70 interchange be upgraded to change it to a full 52 cloverleaf to avoid left turn requirements; and as widening takes place and RP & L electrical 53 upgrading takes place the utility services on poles be replaced by underground services where 54 possible and updated lighting installed. 55 56 He said the committee will be continuing its work and focusing on beautification related items and 57 planning with respect to Chester Boulevard development and will make further recommendations in 58 the future. 59 60 President Parker said that the Board of Works had changed North 10th Street from the overpass 61 bridge to 1-70, making it Chester Boulevard. Dalphin said he was unaware of that and President 62 Parker said he had an interest in that since he owns a business south of the bridge. He added that 63 when the committee communicates with the state it should be done as a group to get the state's 64 attention. He thanked Dalphin for his work with the committee and Councilmember Brookbank 65 added her words of appreciation, noting that she felt the minutes were well written. Dalphin said the credit for those goes to Steve Tincher. 536 Common Council Minutes Cont'd November 7, 1994 Page 2 REPORT FROM CITY DEPARTMENTS REPORT FROM OTHER OFFICES • • REPORT FROM BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS AND SAFETY The minutes of the October 20 meeting were in the Council packets. le Councilmember McBride expressed his appreciation for the improved condition of the railroad tracks on the 1 west side of the City. 1> 1: Councilmember Donat moved to add Ordinance No. 92 - 1994 to the agenda, second by Councilmember 1 Hutton and the motion was carried on a unanimous voice vote. 1. 1 REPORTS FROM SPECIAL COMMITTEES 1 Councilmember Brookbank commented that she had attended the Hill's presentation the day before, noting 1tq that it was a nice reception with Senator Richard Lugar there as well as the President of Hill's and the 2p President of Colgate-Palmolive. 2 2 Councilmember Donat said the Redevelopment Commission met with the feasibility study people on the 2 Convention Center and it is moving right along.

He noted that 41 the ordinance would go to the Committee of the Whole for further discussion but invited those in the audience 42 wishing to speak on the issue to do so. 43 44 Lambert encouraged Council to consider the ordinance proposal seriously, noting that recommendations had 45 been made on how it could be managed through his department safely and with the high standard which is 46 held in all of the City's parks. He added that the group of investors have the outstanding offer on the table 47 good through November 23. 48 49 Robert Van Pelt, one of the investors, spoke in the absence of Bill Lee, commissioner of the Frontier League 50 representing the proposed team. Van Pelt said they are close to acquiring a franchise and one of the 51 requirements of the league for the transfer of a franchise from one town to another is one of financial well 52 being and financial prospectus of the franchise. He said they have put together a package of financing 53 assuring the league of two years of operation. 54 55 He said there are also some tentative commitments to do some major improvements to the ball park which 56 will be there not only for the Frontier League and minor league baseball, but for the City of Richmond and the 57 young people who use the ball park. Those include improvement of the parking, restrooms, concession 58 stand, adding box seating, making the beer garden a separate area and improving the office areas. He said 59 when looking at the League schedule it includes 32 home dates a year. Councilmember Lundy asked who 60 was going to do all the improvements and Van Pelt said perhaps some state and federal monies could be 61 used as well as some from the local community, adding that funding could come from several different 62 places. 63 64 Councilmember Donat asked Lambert under what circumstances beer is sold at Highland Lake Golf Course 65 and Lambert answered only at private parties or private sponsored tournaments. 538 Common Council Minutes Cont'd November 7, 1994 Page-4 Speaking against the ordinance was Olin Moore, a member of the Wayne County Drug and Alcohol support group, who told Council members to search their souls as well as their consciences;Tom Cox, a member of the Wayne County Coalition and supervisor in charge of the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) • program, said he has six officers who work for him who spend 200 to 300 hours a week telling kids that they can go out and have fun and do what they need to do and not be subject to drugs; and Barry Ritter, a DARE officer, said he opposed the ordinance because he spends countless hours teaching the youth they can have fun without consuming any type of drug. 1+ 1 Councilmember Hutton announced that the Committee of the Whole would meet Wednesday, November 16, 1' at 7 p.m.to discuss the issue. 1: 1, ORDINANCE NO.85-1994 1. 1. The Clerk read Ordinance No. 85 - 1994 - A SPECIAL ORDINANCE EXPRESSING A PREFERENCE 1 CONCERNING THE SUPPLIER OF ELECTRIC UTILITY SERVICE TO AN AREA RECENTLY ANNEXED 1: TO THE CITY OF RICHMOND 21 President Parker invited someone to come forth to explain the ordinance. Since there was no one to do that, 2 Councilmember Elstro suggested that the ordinance be held until the next meeting. 2' 2: ORDINANCE NO.86-1994 2, 2. The Clerk read Ordinance No. 86 - 1994 -A GENERAL ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTIONS 74.29 AND 2. 74.30 OF THE RICHMOND CODE PERTAINING TO HANDICAPPED PARKING SPACES AND FIRE 2 LANES 2: 2: President Parker explained that the ordinance amends the handicapped parking and fire lanes sections of 3 I the Richmond Code in light of enforcement experience and the fine is standardized at$50 for both violations. 3 3' Janet Hibner said the ordinance makes several changes to the parking ticket issuance system, making the 3: handicapped parking requirements enforceable on private property. She added that it is questionable as to 3, whether or not police can issue ordinance violation tickets on private property and it also makes the 3. ordinance so it conforms to state law which was changed in 1993 to allow direct enforcement on private 3. property. She noted, as did President Parker, that it changes the fines for parking in the fire lanes to $50 3 making it the same as a handicapped parking violation. 3: 3� Police Chief Dennis Rice stepped forward to say he was in favor of the amendments and invited questions 4: from Council. President Parker asked if the officers will be enforcing the parking in the fire lanes or give 4 warning tickets. Chief Rice said his department does not issue warning tickets. President Parker said if this 4' ordinance is enforced, the City will be very well off financially since there are so many offenders. Chief Rice 4: said Tom Bradfield will be enforcing the ordinance as well as the patrol officers who work the districts, 4, adding that the purpose of the ordinance is not for monetary gains but for public safety. 4. 4.

Councilmember Brookbank suggested he 5 be allowed to step forward and briefly state his plans. Lee was introduced by Lambert as the Commissioner 6 of the Frontier Minor League Baseball League. 7 8 Lee apologized for the misunderstanding in the time. He said the City of Richmond fits well into the plans of 9 the independent professional baseball league which is beginning its third year of operation. He commended 10 the City on McBride Stadium,calling it a beautiful ball park. He said the purpose for his being in the audience 11 was to talk about the possible sale of beer at McBride Stadium, noting that is no guarantee that the City 12 would get the franchise but it is an attraction to opt for a City when that is available. He said it will open up 13 areas as far as revenues and advertising dollars that are important to the success of a franchise. 14 15 He explained that the league is basically a new business that comes to town and it is not up to the City to 16 see that it is successful, but it is up to those franchises which do need help in those respects. He said he, 17 personally, has been in the sports business for 15 years and has not seen any problems with beer sales, 18 noting that under a controlled situation it looks good. Councilmember Dickman asked how many other cities 19 with teams offer beer. Lee named several, adding that Parkersburg,West Virginia is the only one where beer 20 is not sold. In answer to a question by President Parker pertaining to the issuance of the license, Lee said it 21 would be in the name of the owner of the franchise who would have the responsiblity. Lambert said there 22 would be a series of one-day permits. He gave, as an example, permits for the sale of beer at private parties 23 at Highland Lake Golf Course are issued in the name of Ron DeMao,the golf pro, not in the City's name. 24 25 ORDINANCE NO.87-1994 26 27 The Clerk read Ordinance No. 87 - 1994 - AN APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE AMENDING THE 1994 28 BUDGET 29 30 President Parker explained that the ordinance transfers $25,417.29 from hot and cold mix in the local road 31 and street budget to other contract services in the same budget.

He added 33 that this ordinance transfers$1,000 from motor equipment in the public transit budget to the civilian P.E.R.F. 34 pension in the same budget.

She added that it had been before the Committee of the Whole and there had been 13 much discussion. However, since then, Councilmembers learned that the ordinance is not necessary since 14 Council has its own committee and can go over the petitions with Hibner and can also have a committee 15 formed to allow for checking on compliance. She moved to strike the ordinance with the understanding that 16 either one or two Council committees be formed with no less than three members on each to perform those 17 tasks including the compliance. 18 19 In answer to Councilmember Brookbank's question about what her reasoning was on two Council 20 committees, Donat said it was obvious that Council was concerned with compliance and those 21 Councilmembers who have commitments such as outside jobs make it impossible to call all of the 22 businesses. She said if there was a committee to do that leg work then report back, much as it had been 23 done in the past, then either that same committee or another one could check on compliance. She added 24 that it would be strictly up to the Council President as to whether or not there should be one or two 25 committees. 26 27 Councilmember Hutton asked if the motion was to incorporate it into bylaws for Council and make it a 28 standing committee and Donat answered in the affirmative. The motion was seconded by Councilmember 29 Allen and was carried on a unanimous voice vote. 30 31 ORDINANCE NO.79-1994 32 33 The Clerk read Ordinance No. 79 - 1994 - A SPECIAL ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING MAP AT 34 311 SOUTH 3RD STREET 35 36 President Parker declared Ordinance No. 79 - 1994 on public hearing.
