Council stating that he doesn't have Cable television but
he does like to watch the City Council meetings; he went
to the Library but was told that they haven't received
CDs of the City Council meetings since December. City
Manager Bajor said he would look into that matter.
Mr. Brian Burkross, 2133 Webster Lane, addressed the City
Council stating that he would like to respond to the
comments made by Mr. Billmeyer on April 7, 2008. Mayor
Arredia cautioned Mr. Burkross with his remarks because
there is some potential legal action involved with this
matter. Mr. Burkross stated that at no time during his
comments on March 17, 2008 did he say anything about Mr.
Billmeyer's character; he has every right to make the
statements he made; he is a resident of this City; he is
against the purchase of Mr. Billmeyer' s property; he
believes it was politically motivated.
Mr. Dan Allegrett, 1211 Brown Street, addressed the City

one had received a copy of this letter, so Mrs. Van
Slambrouck provided two copies.
Mr. Ted Sherwood, 675 Pearson Street, addressed the City
Council asking if the building at 640 Pearson Street will
be torn down; it is in very poor condition. Director of

for sale; Staff is working with the owner to clean up
this building. Mr. Sherwood also stated that parking is
a real problem in the downtown area.

Alderman Murphy reviewed this matter, which was referred

easement created to construct the development's 28' wide
street; Staff met with the developer and it was agreed

responsibility for the driveways; the townhome residents
will be able to park on their driveways without a
licensing agreement with the City.
