Mr. Munkel seconded the motion. All voted Aye. CHANGE IN COUNCIL MEETING DATE The City Manager said Mr. Lieberman pointed out the city calendar has an incorrect Council meeting date. The June 17 date should be changed to June 24, which is the date Council adopted last fall when it approved the calendar. Mrs. Thompson moved that the June 17 date be kept. Mr. Munkel seconded the motion. Mr. Wagner did not want the date changed, since he had made plans to be away at that time. All voted Aye eKcept Councilmembers Wagner and Lieberman, who voted Nay. (A later decision by the Council scheduled the meeting date for June 24, 1996.) PERSONNEL REPORT The Personnel report for the week ending April 27, 1996, was received and ordered filed. COUNCILMEMBER COMMENTS Mr. Wagner said at the last meeting he requested that the City Manager report to the Council on early morning lap swimming. Mr. Ollendorff said the lap swim schedule has been reinstated to its former status of providing lap swimming every morning. He said the administration planned to cut back on this and provide longer daytime hours, but now will try to do both. Mayor Adams encouraged anyone who knew of lifeguards willing to work early mornings to notify the City. CITIZEN COMMENTS Mr. Fred Rogerson, 8649 West Kingsbury, said the Gatesworth Retirement Home bought the house and lot next to his to build a parking lot, and he is concerned this will be a detriment to his property. He suggested the Gatesworth has room elsewhere for their lot. He said several others on this block have refused to sell their homes. He thought something should be done to prevent this lot from being built. Mr. Ollendorff'said a proposal for a parking lot would have to go to the Plan Commission, then a public hearing must be held, and the applicant must provide plans showing how he intends to protect the adjacent properties, so there will be an opportunity for input during this process. A notice of public hearing will be sent to all adjacent owners. Ms. Janet Becker, 8655 West Kingsbury, said she came to the meeting to learn about the parking lot plans, however, she realized this would not be addressed now. She noted the Gatesworth developers have always been very open about their plans, and she was surprised they purchased the home without talking to neighbors. She added they do have a parking problem and did not originally plan enough.
