Councilor Baynard and Councilor Masten.
Public Hearing
A Public Hearing was held regarding Resolution 1997 -12, a Resolution Reaffirming Resolution

(Heartland Automotive, Inc.). Mayor Michael read Resolution 1997 -12 by title only. Motion to

Public Petitions and Comments
Lora Hott a representative from Wal -Mart Store 902 read a letter regarding an Earth Day Town
Meeting scheduled for April 22, 12:00 Noon at the Public Service Indiana building. Ms. Hen
invited all interested persons to attend.
Mainstreet Greencastle and the Heritage Fest Committee requested permission and assistance
from the City for the annual Heritage Fest May 16 and 17 along with the following street
closings: Franklin Street between Jackson and Indiana beginning at 5:30 p.m. May 15 until
Sunday morning, May 18, around midnight; Indiana Street between Franklin and Washington
and between Washington and Walnut (leaving 231 open) from 5:30 p.m., May 15, until Sunday,
May 18, around midnight; and restricted parking on these streets during the times they are
closed. Councilor Roach made the motion to allow the request, seconded by Councilor Baynard.
Vote was unanimous.
Dick Sunkel was present representing Asbury Towers to request a handicap parking space on
West Poplar Street immediately west of the pull in. There is no parking available on West
Seminary Street between Jackson and Market Streets. Mr. Sunkel stated that some residents at
• Asbury Towers still drive, but have handicap plates and need to be closer to the building than the
parking lot allows. This would also serve visitors. Councilor Roach expressed concern with
® other residents in the area and Hummingbird Hill. With the East side on Seminary striped for no
parking, it only leave 3 -4 spaces available. Councilor Roach will talk to the residents in the area
to see how this would effect them.
Charles Hall, 402 Howard Street, addressed the Council regarding safety and traffic issues
around Ridpath School and Delta Gamma House. Mr. Hall presented a video for the Council
and audience to view regarding traffic in the area. Mr. Hall stated that he would like to address
the possibility of establishing speed limits in alleys. Engineer Barnes will look at this and may
be able to address this particular alley without placing speed limit signs in alleys City wide.
There are no statutes addressing the issue of speed limits in alleys. Engineer Barnes also stated
that speed bumps may also be effective.
Kelly Lawrence thanked the Council for approving the striping of a parking space across from
her driveway.
Department Reports
Reports were given by all Department Heads. Assistant Fire Chief Bill Newgent reported that
the City is working with DePauw regarding false alarms and at this time he does not see a need
for the False Alarm Ordinance,
Police Chief Darrin Cox told Council that his department has implemented the PACT program.
A folder explaining the program was included in each Councilmember's packet. Chief Cox
• reported that Cory Robinson is the newest police officer and he started with the department
April 7, 1997.
Street Commissioner Wright reported that all City streets have been swept.
Mayor Michael gave the Park Report. Councilor Roach questioned South Putnam using the
tennis courts during prime time. Mayor Michael responded that she was under the impression
that this has always been done. Councilor Hammer, Park Liaison for the Council, stated that he
had no knowledge of this. Councilor Roach asked if they are using the whole court or is the
public able to use the courts at the same time? Mayor Michael stated that she could not answer
that question. Councilor Roach asked if there was a stipend attached? Mayor Michael
responded that there is not. Councilor Roach stated he has a problem with the tennis courts
being tied up by a school corporation during prime time. City residents should have top priority.
Mayor Michael stated that she will take these concerns to the Park Board.
Water Superintendent Leon Phillips submitted his letter of retirement effective April 25, 1997.
Mayor Michael introduced the new Water Superintendent, Terry Dale and administered his oath
of office.
