<br />.) , <br />~ . <br />'.'..i "-.,' <br /> <br />TUESDAY <br /> <br />MAY 22, 1973 <br /> <br />Mr. Dallas Blevins, residing at 15 Booker Road, appeared before Council and, <br /> <br />speaking for the majority of those residents on the east side of Booker Road, <br /> <br />protested the proposed construction of sidewalk along the east side of this <br /> <br />sidewalk, citing these residents' opinion that the safety of school children <br /> <br />along this street would be better served if the sidewalk be constructed along <br /> <br />the west side. Council concurred in Mayor West's suggestion that these residents <br /> <br />confer with City Manager Noland and Assistant City Manager-Public Works Director <br /> <br />BroWl on this matter. <br /> <br />City Manager Noland and Recreation Director Herbert O. Hughes informed Council <br /> <br />that problems have developed in the usage of tennis courts at the Martinsvi1le <br /> <br />High School site, noting that prolonged usage at times by some players prevented <br /> <br />usage by other players. Pursuant to recommendations from Mr. Noland and Mr. <br /> <br />Hughes, Council authorized policy changes whereby players will be limited to l~ <br /> <br />hours usage at anyone time, a fee of fifty cents (per usage) will be charged <br /> <br />each non-resident user, and personnel shall be provided to enforce these regulations. <br /> <br />Mr. Joseph Pritchett bought to Council's attention the need for providing an <br /> <br />off-street play area for children in the Roundabout Road area to eliminate the <br /> <br />present hazard to motor vehicle traffic along this street and the risk of injury <br /> <br />to children now playing in the street, with Mr. Pritchett u~ng that even a <br /> <br />temporary area be provided until proposed permanent facilities are made available, <br /> <br />as contemplated in current park development plans which call for development thereof <br /> <br />to be underway within the next two months. <br /> <br />Council was adjourned. <br /> <br />~tl~~t~ -~~.- <br />W.
