MELROSE CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENTS Boothroy, Schmeiser present. 1.396 -End Boothroy called attention to his memo and memo from Asst. City Engr. Farmer distributed in the packet Friday. Council discussed Farmer's proposed construction schedule, which would delay the Byington/Grand intersection and the Melrose Corridor projects until Spring. A majority agreed to hire a consultant if necessary, the $2,500 cost will be available from the Engineering budget. City Mgr. Berlin stated that the decision on hiring should be made in conjunction with 1) obtaining from the University suffic- ient land to make a satisfactory project, and 2) making sure nothing re the new Law Bldg. is incompatible with the projects. Hiring a consultant would not relieve the staff of working on the project. P&Z Commissioner Kanmermeyer commented on P&Z concerns, noting that this was their N1 priority for street projects, and they have requested engineering input on several alternatives. Several members of the Melrose Committee were present and made observations. Melrose on the North could be widened from South Grand to Woolf to provide four lanes.

Balmer advised that the Council is receptive to the use of septic tanks then for the large lots, in this area. Glasgow will pursue alternatives for sewer with the City Mgr. & can apply to P&Z with the new proposal. He will need approval from Johnson County Health Dept.
