V. REGULAR AGENDA
1. The Council will consider a resolution amending the 2011 PIR budget.
Earlier this year the skylights at the Community Center were inspected and it
was determined a coating to keep the windows from deteriorating is
necessary. Some of the deterioration is due to unknown storm damage over
the years. In order to prevent further deterioration, we need to proceed with
the coating this year at a cost of approximately $20,000. We have also had
some water issues at the Bassett Creek Park playground which we believe
will be addressed with the installation of a permanent sump pump. We have
rearranged some PIR projects and used savings from other PIR projects this
year to fund these necessary projects. Recommend approval of the
resolution amending the PIR.
2. The Council will consider a resolution establishing no parking on Sumter Avenue.
Earlier this year, the Council received concerns from residents on Sumter
Avenue between Bass Lake Road and 58 th Avenue about installation of a
sidewalk and permitting cars to park on the east side of Sumter. The Council
did determine not to install the sidewalk and requested New Hope to consider
permitting parking on the west side of Sumter. The New Hope City Council
did approve permitting parking on the west side of Sumter. The Crystal
Council can now consider establishing no parking on the east side of Sumter
Avenue between Bass Lake Road and 58 th Avenue.
