Bob Brown running the City for the weekend the Mayor was hospitalized.
Councilperson Wright stated that she has great concerns over the dust problems
on five specific streets in Ward Four, Dearborn Avenue, Rooff Avenue, Quincy
Street, Webster Street and Neville Street. Wright continued that something

assessment. Wright stated that she did not know where the money could come
from but knew that something needs to be done about the dust problem.

streets in the City. McKinley continued that it would cost approximately

Councilperson Brown stated that he is in agreement that this is a big problem
but also understands that there presently is no money to do any type of street
program.
John Meyer, Public Works Director, stated that street oiling would be assessed
and would have to be done twice a year for a proper job.

explain to the people that nothing will be done.

the quality of life in the community. Mayor McKinley stated that he would like
to speak with the gentleman after the meeting if he would care to stay around.

Oral Presentations - continued
Mayor McKinley stated that he had done research on the duck problem in the area
and that ducks are controlled by the Department of Natural Resources and the
City has no control over them. Mayor McKinley stated that if the people keep
feeding the ducks that eventually they become welfare ducks and will not leave
the pond to search for other areas for feeding. McKinley stated that the best
way to eliminate the problem is for everyone to stop feeding the ducks.
