ORAL PRESENTATIONS 107967 - Pierre Denault, 205 Lovejoy, came before the council a couple of weeks ago and mentioned concerns about public safety. Denault had reported that he has noticed a number of vehicles operating with one headlight or no license plate. Denault has continued to see these same problems on the street. He questioned whether the police department is addressing these problems. Last week he even noticed that a MET bus was operating with one headlight. Denault stated that the police department should do more traffic enforcement. L. C. Hennessey, 717 Eastgate, asked why the travel request to send a police sergeant to New York was only three hundred dollars. Chief Koehrsen reported that the department's travel budget was not available to fund the whole trip so the officer volunteered to pay for his own airfare and lodging expense. Forrest Dillavou, 1725 Huntington Rd, several weeks ago brought questions about the building code fees before the council. He has received no response on this issue. City Attorney James Walsh has worked on the issue and will inform Mr. Dillavou about his response after the meeting. Mary Haasis, 116 Courtland, asked when the barricades at Courtland and Irving would be removed. The council approved removal several weeks ago but the barricades are still there. The stop signs on Irving Street are also be ignored by drivers. They should either be removed or enforced. Getty/Mollenhoff that the above oral comments be received and placed on file. Ayes: Seven. Motion carried. ADJOURNMENT 107968 - Mollenhoff/Jordan that the Council adjourn at 7:31 p.m. Ayes: Seven. Motion carried. Susan Fangman City Clerk
