REQUESTS
A. Goodwin read a letter from Street Commissioner Gordon Moore concerning paving the
alley between N.W. 7th and N.W. 8th Streets north of Main Street. Moore said in his letter

Dennis Middle School as a roadway and also a business on Main Street, which abuts the
alley, is using it for an entrance. His suggestion was to post signs restricting use by local
traffic only and request/require financial assistance for maintenance from adjacent
users/owners. Moore said at this time he did not believe this alley meets the criteria
needed for repaving. There was no action taken by the Board.
