2008 as compared to 2007? Corey responded; he didn't have the 2007 information, but looking at December's usage,
it is comparable.
Alderperson Stroik moved, seconded by Alderperson Walther to approve the Airport Manager's Report and place it
on file.
Ayes all; nays none; motion carried.
5. Director's Report. (Attachment):
Director Euclide wanted to bring up and do some
explaining about the plans for the Fourth Avenue Paving Design that he included along with his report. He explained
that the plan is to narrow both the curb and pavement sections as well as constructing the paving in concrete as
opposed to asphalt. One of the reasons for looking to narrowing this road is not only for economic reasons, but
also because of the new standards for handicap access. Paving this road with concrete as opposed to asphalt will
extend the life in excess of 45 years, given the amount of traffic, where as asphalt would have to be reconstructed
three times in that same period.
Alderperson Moore questioned if the utilities underneath the road would need reconstruction during these 45 plus
years. Mayer Halverson answered; the condition of the water and sewer lines are in need of replacement right now
and that is one of the reasons we looked into this. Water and Sewer lines can last roughly 90 to 100 years so this
would be a good time to do both and not have to worry about it for a very long time.
Alderperson Wiza questioned what sections would be narrowed as he is concerned about the parking and heavy traffic
around the Church and School on that road. Director Euclide assured that those sections would stay wider for parking
on both sides but, where the road will narrow, there will only be parking allowed on only one side of the road.
Also where the road will narrow and the Boulevard will widen to 7 feet, trees will be planted. The intention is
to give the neighborhood a quieter, peaceful look.
Alderperson Schlice moved, seconded by Mayer Andrew Halverson to accept the Director's Report and place it on file.
Ayes all; nays none; motion carried.
