• CUT COUNCIL NEWS HIGHLIGHTS •
Garbage and sewage were the
principal items of discussion in
a rather long and “ripe” City
Council meeting this week.
Longest single item of discus
sion was garbage, brought about
by an application from Lee
Houston of L. C. & H Service
for a refuse collector’s license,
and the efforts of Bernie Miller
of the Fairbanks Garbage Dis
posal Company to defeat the li
censing.
Another strong item was a series
of complaints by Fairbanks resi
dents about sewers backing up in
their basements.
Ordinances 1131 (Tort Claims
Against the City) and 1144 (Con
flict of Interest) were tabled again.
Determination of the required
setback on Barnette St. was tabled
for one week, so the Council could
consider a slight redesigning of the
street.
Approve Rezoning
After several weeks of discussion
and voting, the rezoning of the
south half of Block 146 was recon
sidered, and the Council voted to
rezone the area for multiple resi
dential, to permit the operation of
a clinic by Dr. Frank Spaulding.
Later, a deed restriction was
placed on Spaulding's property so
that it can be used only for a clinic
staffed by two men, or as restricted
residential.
Resolution 239 was passed by the
Council. The resolution determines
payment for the paving of Cushman,
from 7th to 12th; Lacey, from 5th
to 12th and 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th.
11th, and 12th between Cushman
and Noble. Under the terms of the
resolution the cost of the paving,
which will be done this summer,
will be divided between the City
and the affected property owners.
The property owners will pay for
% of the project, the City Vt. The
resolution also provides that Cush
man will be paved to the “higher
standards of an arterial street," at
no additional cost to the property
owners. The property owners’ share
of the costs would be payable in
ten equal annual installments plus
interest, and subject to certain dis
counts.
Concrete Discussion
During the discussion. Council
man Brewington pointed out that
the City Engineer desired to have
; the streets in the TAR-7 area paved
I with concrete, at an additional cost
of some $2(70,000. He stated that he
did not want concrete paving, as it
would be extremely difficult to dig
up and repair in the wintertime,
and because of the greater cost.
Councilman Cox pointed out that
the Federal government would pay
2/it of the paving costs in the TAR-7
area.
This statement was corrected by
Elmer Gagnon of AHA, who ex
plained that the government would
only pay % of the cost of paving
which was equal in quality and cost
to that done on other City Streets.
In this case, the City would have
to bear the full additional expense
for concrete paving.
The Councilmembers all agreed
that asphalt would probably have
to do.
Hear Complaint
The Council also heard a com
plaint from Phil Rahoi of the Lake
view Trailer Court, who asked the
City not to accept a 10 acre lot at
Two Mile Lake, which had been
offered to the City by the State.
Rahoi said that he had attempted
to purchase 160 acres in this area,
a year ago, and had recently been
told that the land was not available,
because the City had taken a piece
of it.
Rahoi said he had been unable to
determine who instigated the of
fering of the plot to the City, but
he felt it had been done to thwart
, his plans to construct a public park
in the area. He said that no one
seemed to know who had insti
gated the grant.
Rahoi also objected to the actions
of a City employee, whom he de
clined to name. He said the em
ployee had gone to an association
meeting last Thursday night and
had proposed that the association
apply for 20 acres at Two Mile Lake
to establish a public campground
and trailer court.
The Council put on the agenda
for next week a reouest to change
the polling place of the 5th Pre
cinct from the library to the new
fire station. The request was made
by the Democratic and Republican
Precinct Chairmen.
Their letters pointed out that the
library was forced to close during
election day. was not centrally lo
cated, was not able to hold many
voters, and was too old to support
many voters inside at one time.
1 The contract for the towing and
storage of impounded cars was
awarded to the Chena Union Sta
i tion upon the recommendation of
the City Manager.
