Chairman Huuaner called the meeting to 4rder at 3:05 p.m.
The mi.nutes of the January 21, 1975, CIB Committee meeting were approved as sub-
mitted.
The second item on the agenda was the election of CIB Com¢nittee Officers.
It was moved by Mrs. Piccolo and seconded by Mrs. Showalter to nominate Otto Hummer
for Chairman of the CIB Committee. As there were no other nominations, a vote
was taken, with Mr. Hwnmer unanimously e].ected as chairman.
It was moved by Mrs. Piccolo and seconded by Mrs. Caron to nominate Adolf Tobler
for Vice-Chairman of the CIB CoIIUnittee. Mr. Tobler declined the nomination.
It was moved by Mrs. Caron and seconded by Mrs. Piccolo to nominate Vincent Courtney
for Vice-Chairman of the CIB Co�nittee. As there were no other nominations, a
vote was taken, with Mr. Courtney unanimously elected as vice-ehairman.
Mr. Blees distributed a status report of CIB project account balances and of the
Unallocated Administrative Reserve Account, as of March 31, I975, and explained
each item to the Committee.
The third item on the agenda was a request from the Department of Fire and
Safety Services for $62,300 to install opticom equipment at ll inter-sections
and to upgrade 27 inter-sections to four-directional opticom control.
After Assistant Chief Ed Heinen explained the request, it was moved by Mr. Tobler
and seconded by Mrs. Piccolo to recommend to the Mayor and City Council that
"$62.300 be transferred from the 1975 Unallocated Administrative Reserve to the
Opticom Traffic Signal System Expansion Project." The motion carried unanimously.
The fourth item on the agenda contained several requests from the Community
Services Department. The first request was for $140,000 for the Highland Swimming
Pool site work. Jerry Prill, Superintendent of Parks and Recreation, noted
� � ,
his memorandum requesting funding dated April 4', 1975, does not include ��4Wv�
mately $60,000 needed for lighting work at the site. John Wirka, Landscape
Architect, explained the work to be done at the site.
. It was�the feeling of the Committee that the financing of this request should
be in the form of a transfer from previously CTB-funded Parks projects which
cannot be scheduled for construction in 1975, rather than from the Unallocated
Administrative Reserve Account. The Co�ittee also indicated that any future
request for lighting monies for the swiit¢ning pool would be reviewed more
favorably if it provided for the transfer of monies from projects which have
been delayed, rather than from the Unallocated Administrative Reserve.
It was moved by Mr. Courtney and seconded by Mrs. Caron to recommend to the
Mayor and City Council that "an additional $140,000 be allocated to the Highland
Park Swimming Pool Project, by transferring $70,000 from the 1973 Battle Creek
Erosion Control and Parking Lot Project Account and $70,000 from the 1973 Kellogg
Mall Rehabilitation Project Account." The motion carried unanimously.
The second Comtaunity Services' request was for $50,000 to acquire ll lots on
Wheelock Parkway. It was noted by Mr_ HuAaaer that the Planning Commission's
action indicated a need for an "Official Map" and that the Office of City
Planning was to prepare one for Ci.ty Council adoption. Mr. Blees said he spoke
witn Donald Spaid, Planning Coordinator, and was told that the preparation
of an "Official Map" was in City Planning's Work Program.
It was moved by Mr. Tobler and seconded by Mrs. Caron to lay this matter over
pending the preparation of the "Official Map." The motion carried unanimously.
The next request from the Community Services Department was for $15,900 for
the acquisition of property on Mississippi Ri.ver Boulevard east of Hidden Falls.
It was moved by Mr. Tobler and seconded by Mr. Courtney to lay this matter over
pending the preparation of an "Official Map." The motion carried unanimously.
The next Coznmunity Services Department request was to transfer $20,000 to the
Arlington Recreation Center site development project from completed project
balances. It was moved by Mr. Tobler and seconded by Mrs. Piccolo to recommend
to the Mayor and City Council that "a total of $20,000 be transferred to the
Arlington Recreation Center site development project from the following 1971 CIB-
funded project balances:
13 Ancillary Projects - 6,213.84,
McMurray Field Lights & Parking Lot - 12,595.13,
Groveland Recreation Center - 453.67,
1971 Restricted Use Account - 737.36.°
The motion carried unanimously.
Next on the agenda were several requests from the Public Works Department. The
first request was to purchase property adjacent to the Pleasant and View Sub-
station for $4,500. After Mr. Eichinger explained the project, it was moved
by Mr. Tobler and seconded by Mrs. Showalter to recommend to the Mayor and City
Council that "$4,500 be transferred from the Debt-Capital Improvement Fund to �

������
purchase from the Chicago, M.ilwaukee, 5t. Paul and Pacific Railroad Company
property adjacent to the Public Works' Pleasant and View Substation.° The
motion carried vnanimously. "
The next request was for $30,000 to construct salt storage sheds at the Pleasant
and View and at the Lafayette and University Substations. It was moved by
Mr. Courtney and seconded by Mrs. Ceniceros to recommend to the Mayor and City
Council that "$30,000 be transferred from the Debt-Capital Improvement Fund
to the project entitled Salt Storage Shed Construction, Pleasant and View, and
Lafayette and University Substations." The motion carried, unan.imously.
The next request was to transfer $203,898;35 to fund the 1975 Sidewalk Program.
Mr. Blees explained that the request is a direct result of the Mayor's and
City Administration's attempt to produce a unitorm assessment policy through-
out the City of Saint Paul. Chairman Hummer stated that CIB policy requires
a rating by the Streets and.Utilities Task Force before the CIB Committee
will consider recom¢nending the funding request.
Mr. Blees was instructed ta call a joint CIB Comiaittee-Streets and Utilities
Task Force meeting in about two weeks. The request was laid over until the
next meeting.
• The meeting adourned at 4:55 p.m.
