provision of storm water management were discussed and will be
discussed again when full Council is present. The question is,
whether or not total storm water management storage should be
provided west of the road. Storage areas will be designated
on the plat as easement areas.
Amendments to Urban Renewal Plan Staff felt it was o.k. to amend the
U. R. pans to a consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. P&Z Comm.

retention of Blackhawk Minipark was not consistent with Comp. Plan.

2:00 P.M. Previous Council consensus was to retain the minipark
until the Plaza was completed, & those present did not want to discuss
the minipark at the public hearing tomorrow night, just the Library
site. Resolution under Item N6 can be amended.

appraisals by the end of the month, with bids in January. He pointed
out that costs keep escalating. Plastino suggested that a member
of RCCC meet with Mayor Vevera & himself and a small group from Regina.

AGENDA July 30, 1979
1. Berlin called attention to Item 2.f, as it included the Library and 1350-1450
the Blackhawk Mini -park. Glaves advised that previously Council had
decided to wait on the mini -park until the Mall was finished, but it
will be deleted at this time. Vevera commented that Council could
reconsider at any time.
2. Roberts asked if Item 14 was budgeted for this year, & suggested that
the Mercer St. Park parking lot be dustproofed this year. Berlin
called attention to the process of using recycled asphalt in the future.
3. Perret commented that he favored the suggestions in Della Grizel's
letter regarding the Seventh Ave. bus route and also the suggestions
for the Burlington St. route. Berlin advised that Mose will check
them out, and report back.
4. Vevera stated that regarding acceptance of the bid for the Car Wash
building, the reason was just the opposite of what was said regarding
the Trunkline Sewer bids, and questioned if a re -bid would get a
lower bid. City Mgr. Berlin will check.
