Police Chief Strahan read the following letter: III January 20, 1970 Donald L. Strahan Chief of Police Richmond, Indiana - Dear Chief: I wish to resign my position, and rank of Captain in the Patrol Division. I find this request necessary, due to personal reasons. I want to thank the Board, and the Chief for giving me the opportunity to serve in this position for the past two years. I would further ask that I be Page 148 Board of Works & Safety 1-22-70 reassigned as a Patrolman, effective Wednesday, January 21, 1970.

Captain Paul Martin read the following Traffic Division recommendations: ITEM #1 At the last Board meeting, Mr. William Wager of the Reid Presbyterian Church, located at North llth and A Streets, appeared before the Board requesting the time parking limit of four hours be reduced on both sides of the 1000 block of North A Street to provide for a faster turnover in parking, thus making available more parking spaces for people having business with the Church. There are thirteen parking stalls on the north side of the block and 4 stalls on the south side. We have found that a 4-hour time limit within the central business district somewhat defeats the purpose of turning over parking for patrons and only provides an area foriemployees of various places to park. An employee of a store can park at 8:30 A.M., leave for lunch at 11:30 A.M. or 12:00 noon, return after lunch and park for 4 more hours thus occupying the parking stall about all day during the 4 hour restricted time limit without being in violation. Therefore, to make available more parking spaces for not only the churches within the area but for shoppers also, the Traffic Division is recommending that the present 4-hour time limit be reduced to 2 hour parking on both sides of the 1000 block of North A Street, during the same hours and days that is now in effect. Mr. Howell moved that this recommendation be approved, seconded by Mr. Jacobs and on unanimous voice vote the motion was carried. ITEM #2 The Traffic Division is recommending that the present 4-hour parking time limit in the 1st block of North llth Street and the present 4-hour time limit in the 1st block of South llth to the 1st alley south of East Main Street be reduced to 2-hour parking during the same hours and days now in effect. We have found that employees of various businesses etc., are occupying these parking spaces thus not making them available for patrons and shoppers within the area. Most of the business places around llth and East Main Street and in the 1000 block of East Main Street are pa- tronized by short time shoppers, etc. The area on South llth Street south of the first alley is highly residential with a large apartment complex on the East side of the street, 2 doctors offices and a funeral home within that part of the block, however. ±t::.is'"in the central business district. We feel that the present 4-hour parking limit can be retained within this area south of the alley. Board of Works & Safety 1-22-70 Page 149 Mr. Howell moved that the recommendation be approved, seconded by Mr. Jacobs and on unanimous voice vote the motion was carried. ITEM #3 The Traffic Division is recommending that parking of motor vehicles be prohibited at all times on both sides of North A street from 5th street west to 3rd and East Main Street. A recommendation to the Board that the ordinance on one-way streets be amended concerning "new" North A Street. The Traffic Division is recomending that a speed limit be established and the ordinance amended for North A Street from 5th Street to East Main Street. The Traffic Division is recommending that the ordinance designating North A Street as a public street be amended to conform with it's new re- location. Mr. Howell moved for approval of the recommendation, seconded by Mr. Jacobs and on unanimous voice vote the motion was carried. ITEM #4 The Traffic Division would like to discuss with the Board the present parking restriction on East Main Street from 9th Street east to 12th Street that is now in effect from 3:00 A.M. to 5:00 A.M. seven days per week. This restriction was put into effect for the purpose of sweeping the street when the City had a contract with the State, however the City no longer sweeps Main Street. A check with the Centerville State Highway Office shows that the State Highway will sweep the street on Mondays and Thursdays only between the hours of 3:00 A.M. to 5:00 A.M. IIIMr. Jacobs moved that the parking situation on East Main Street from 9th • Street east to 12th Street stay as it is now. Mr. Elmer Toschlog reported to the Board that there should be action taken on the problem of birds on the No. 9th Street Bridge. Mr. Howell moved that the Board enter into the contract with Rogers Pest Control for the pest control of the No. 9th Street Bridge, seconded by Mr. Jacobs and on unanimous voice vote the motion was carried and the contract was signed. Mr. Elmer Toschlog reported that the sidewalks on the North 9th St. bridge had been cleaned. Mr. Howell recommended that Mr. Toschlog contact Mr. Kercheval and discuss with him as to who is responsible, the City or the State in situations such as this.
