Session 1258, Minutes Page 14 <br />September 22, 1980 <br /> <br />~ iMENDMENTS TO URBAN RENEWAL PLANS - SETTING PUBLIC HEARING <br /> <br />The City Manager asked that a public hearing be set to consider amendments to the <br />urban renewal plans. There have been a number of public meetings, both in the <br />neighborhood and at City Hall, to explore alternatives regarding a number of ideas, <br />including eminent domain. The Land Clearance for Redevelopment Authority now rec- <br />ommends that eminent domain be authorized only for vacant buildings. <br /> <br />Mrs. Metcalfe moved that the public hearing be set for 9:00 P.M. October 6, 1980. <br />Mr. Sabol seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. (The hearing was later <br />postponed to October 20, 1980, at 8:00 P.M.) <br /> <br />There was brief discussion about the LCRA recommendations and what transpired at <br />the LCRA meeting. Mr. Adams said for the record that under certain circumstances, <br />he is not opposed to the takeover of occupied buildings. <br /> <br />DROP DAY FEES <br /> <br />Mr. Ollendorff said Mr. Sabol had requested information regarding the costs of drop <br />day, and while gathering that information came to the conclusion that there should <br />be a charge for drop day. The average cost for that service is $3.88 per person. <br />About half of that is for personnel and the rest for disposal, including dumping fees. <br />The following schedule is recommended: <br /> <br />a. Automobiles and station wagons - $3.00 <br />b. Vans and regular pick-up trucks - $5.00 <br />c. Larger trucks, including pick-ups <br /> with built-up sides - $2.00 per <br /> cubic yard with a minimum of $5.00 <br /> <br />Mr. Ollendorff felt this service should be supported by its users, and felt that it <br />may result in less use by non-residents. He said there are plans to increase the <br />number of drop days during the busiest months in the fall and spring. The appropri- <br />ate bill was to be prepared for introduction, and signs announcing the fees will be <br />placed near the entrance to the drop site. <br /> <br />PERSONNEL REPORT <br /> <br />The Personnel report for the week ending September 20, 1980, was received and ord- <br />ered filed. <br /> <br />POLICE DEPARTMENT REPORT <br /> <br />The Police Department report for the week of September 7, 1980 through September 13, <br />1980, was received and ordered filed. <br /> <br />FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT <br /> <br />The Fire Department report for the week of September 14, 1980, through September 20, <br />1980, was received and ordered filed. <br /> <br /> <br />
