02 AUGUST 25, 1964 TUESDAY City Manager Hirst reviewed his report--submitted August 11, 1964--on storm drainage in the Jefferson Circle-Craig street area, after which Mr. & Mrs. William Richey and Mr. & Mrs. Harold Wilson, residents of Craig Street, reiterated their opinion that the City has some responsibility to protect properties in the area from flooding and soil erosion. In addition, these citizens again pointed out the fact that the creek along their properties contains sewage; whereupon, as it did August 11th, Council indicated that the City does have a responsibility to abate the sewage conditions in the area and that studies and procedures to this end are already in process. Meanwhile, Mr. Jack Zachary, a resident of the area, urged Council to include in its studies the prospect of increasing drainage problems in order that long-range plans might be formulated and carried out to minimize and/or correct the conditions. In response to an inquiry from Lester Lumber Company, Council acknowledged its agreement with Lester Lumber Company to improve the right-of-way along the Armory Road (or Lester Boulevard) from the new Armory to the corporate limits and, in accordance with said agreement, Council directed that said improvements be undertaken and completed as soon as possible. Mr. Jehn J. Hartley, Attorney at Law and Counsel for West Window Company, appeared before Council and requested that Council--through a prepared easement agreement--provide access and ingress over City-owned property to West Window Company's plant in the Airport-Industrial Park for a roadway to its loading area. Council unanimously granted this request by authorizing Vice-Mayor Renick and Council's Clerk to execute said easement agreement.
