Session 710, Hinutes August 20, 1962 Page 28 ed to the Council (by a petition) and the City Nmnager said the administra- tive forces are assembling this information, but it is not yet complete. P~SICNAT~ON OF COUNCILNAN IRLB. BARIS: Councilman Baris stated that several months ago he informed each member of the Council, verbally, that he was planning to move from the City. He said he did not submit a formal letter of resignation at that time because he was not certain as to the exact time his new home would be completed; however, this morning he was advised by the builders that they would be in position to close the transaction for the purchase of the house this coming Friday. Accordingly, Councilman Baris said, he would at this time then formally submit his resignation as a member of the Council. Council- man Baris stated that most of the time he has been on a minority side, but being a member of the Council has been an interesting experience and it is with a great deal of regret that he and his family are leaving the City. Speaking on behalf of the Council, Mayor Kaufman accepted Councilman Baris' resignation and stated that the Council has enjoyed his services and Councilman Baris has undoubtedly made a substantial contribution to the welfare of University City and it would be appropriate at this time to request preparation of a Resolution. Councilman Tandler thereupon re- quested that a Resolution be prepared. Each member of the Council then expressed regret that Councilman Baris is leavin§ and extended best wishes for happiness in his new home. !l~ROVEI~.~ OF ORCHARD AVENUE: Councilmss Tandler asked whether a special meeting is required to introduce ordinances accepting the Orchard Avenue (proposed improvement) bids, where- upon City Manager Henry explained that the information will be available September 4th and the matter can then be considered at the next regular meeting of the Council ~ich is scheduled for September loth. PROPOSED ~MPROVEMENT OF BIG BEND AND CENTER DRIVE: Mayor Kaufman asked the City Manager whether he could also have available information on some of the other projects which require improvement - Big Bend, Center Drive - and the Mayor inquired what schedule the administra- tive forces have for those improvements coming through. The City Manager said those improvements would have to be done next Spring - the Council could set dates for hearings ~here they are required, whereupon Mayor Kaufman suggested it might be well to get those out of the way so that by Spring the Council can move forward. City Manager Henry concurred in that view, PROPOSED I~PROVEMENT OF FE~PLEVIEW DR~VE AND WESTVI~4DRXVE: Councilman Tandler stated that the Council has held public hearings on proposed improvement of Mapleview Drive and Westview Drive and he said he thinks the Council should reach a conclusion. Mayor Kau/man pointed out that the C~uncil is awaiting some information.
