Crystal City Council Meeting Agenda August 1, 2011 Page 2 of 3 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. VI. INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION a.
