Mayor's Statement^—
(Continued from page 1)
tiocns to be submitted to the
Council and finding that nothing
happens.
“I propose that the Planning
Commission be required to meet
at least once each month and
that a copy of their minutes and
actions be submitted in writing
to the Council.
*T propose that the Council re
fer all items requiring investiga
tion be referred to the Planning
Commission. One item which
needs immediate attention is the
zoning of the City.
“The Planning Commission,
sitting as a Zoning Commission,
submitted a plan to the Council
several months ago. The Council
should comment on this plan and
return it to the Commission for
completion.
“The Planning Commission
should be ordered to prepare a
plan for City parks, both in the
City and outside the city limits.
A piece of land east of the Ma
tanuska River was donated to the
City several years ago by Mr.
Brix—nothing has been done to
develop it into a park. This lack
of planning on this area is work
ing against the securing of the
area north of the hospital for park
purposes. There is reason to^ be
lieve that this area can be secur
ed if a plan of development is
...in mu......
worked up. In furtherance of this,
I am asking the Planning Com
mission to work with the Kiwanis
Club Committee on a plan for the
area. I suggest another resolution
to the ARRC board requesting
the donation of this area for park
purposes.
“I urge each member of this
Council to work toward securing
the inclusion of the area known
as the Eklutna Housing Area and
the High School lands into the
City for the primary purpose of
providing better police protection
in the High School area. If this
area is taken in now, it would re
quire only the petition of two
owners and a vote of City voters
at the next special or general
election, to complete. If delayed
until further subdivision, it could
take years.
“Then there is the matter of
the committees which have been
in operation. I like this method
of dividing the work of City gov
ernment, but I am of the opinion
that there have been more com
mittees than necessary. I will li
quidate all of these committees
and set up the following: Budget
and Finance: Personnel: Public
Safety (police and fire); Water
and Streets; Planning, Zoning,
Parks and Buildings; and Public
Health.”
