Dear Sir: • 1A The Kenneth Gi11 and George Schumann families are requesting pe nnission to put a fence barrier behind 4630 and 4638 N.E.3rd St. We are next door neighbors and do have our yarde fenced and what we are requeating is pexznission to put just eno�tgh feticing to deter the motor acooter hot rodders who are using our easement for a race track,There are about 4 or 5 sa.that you can see filing a compl8int is fruitless as sane of them I am sure da not belong in our area.The past few years we have called the police but by the time they arrive on the scene the cuZprits have disappeared and I am sure our police department has more important things to do.These individuals da not have licenses,some are under a�e,no lights on the vehicles and do not wear a:�,�nets.Some times theY are buzzing anound at 10:00 o�clock at night. ','`�� situation is nerve racking; in the siunmer when school is not in session they �.:�art in the morning and continue on throughout the day.Mr.Gill works nights and I �night add when�we have our windaws open we can't hear the TV for the racket. '�he Gills and the Schumanns will put up the feneing if . permission is given and we alao do atate that in the event NSP or any other utility has need to knock them down we will be responsible for re-erecting them although the spots we intend to puz them �n will not interfere with the utility poles. The are$ in questiop i8 not an alley and one of Che neighbors who has inquired tells �ee that because of the decided slope there would not be aq a11Qy back there, T ara wri.ting tixis in the hope that the council can act upon our request promptlye I do know that sane of the suburbs do not a11aa what we are having to contend with; it aeems very �rustrating Chat we have to take any aort of actxon but our sanity is �t stake. We have talked Co sane of the offenders but to no avail. v�ry truly yours� Ui'l ,y�n-� `�" ` �� J`� ' t� t � r � ,.

The Gordons built a beautiful gazebo in the back of their hame which they teZ2 me they have not been able to use because of all the dust the motor scootexs raise.We would hope that perhaps the council could give us their decision at the April 2nd meeting. Do any of us need to be there? When I obtained the signature fram the Swansons I saw the four letter words painted on b�r red wood fence.Mr.Swar.son said he did not have red paint or he would have painted aver it;he did paint over the GiZls white fence that had the same four letter word on it.I for one want it left there in case you would like to came out and look at it. � __ _ _ ' i � I� , I� � � � � , 1 � , `�f \ . .� � � � � ;i �.� t � ,� .

In order to estimate the effect of such a provision, it is.neceesary to make some aeaump- tion aa to the way benefite will change after the member hae retixed..

He said there is difficulty in obtaining funds for the project as the ,project i� not a non-prafit organization. He said many foundations had stated they would like to contribute if the project were a non-profit organi- zation. He added, thia would enable the contributors to receive a tax break on their contributions. He added, the establishment of the non-profit organization would make the project much more flexib�e and allow many moxe people to participate in the project. He said it is his belief that the project should be done right and with as many interested people participatir�g as possible. Mr. Kohlan suggested the Island of Peace lease the pxoperty from the Citv of �'ridley, relieving the City af a great deal of responsibility for aaxe, maintenance, >�nd operatzon. He said an agreement between the non-profit corporation and _-'.:�e City could be obtained, as this aetion is essential to the project. He �aid his request would be to authorize the setting up of a separate non-pro- fit c�rporaticn for the Islands of Peace Project. Councilman Breider asked if the Council had to do anything to enable the corporation to be set up? The City Attorney said no. He said the Council may have to take some action as far as the handling of the funds are concerned. �ie said, now the funds are in control of the City Administration. iie said there should be some aqreement in the part the City will play after the establishment of the non-profit corporation is completed. The City Attorney said he thought it would be in the best interest of all ;, to authorize Mr. �tohlan to go ahead and begin the procedure fox' the forma- tion of the non-profit corporation. After this, there could be a determina- tion on who would do what. He said the City had signed an option to purchase ' the additional property, He said the funds were to be raised by the Committee. He said there is a quest�on of who would take title of the property and who would maintain it. Mr. Kohlan suggested the City take title of the property and lease the property to the Island of Peace Froject in a long tezzn lease. He said, if foz �ome reason the project does not develop, the City would still have title to the 1and. ' MOTION by Counca�lman Breidez to autharize the administration and legal counsel to work with Mr. Kohlan in forming a non-profit corporation and report back to the Cvuncil on the progreas of the establishaent of the foundation.

The City Manager said from the City's standpoint, it is a mutually beneficial proposal.

He said the administration would do everything possible to get it to the Legislature before the end of the term. �:ayor Liebl questioned if there is presently,$120,000 in the fund? Mr. Aldrich �aid there is nearly $400,000, $124,000 in the paid men's side and $253,000 in the volunteer men's side.

Mayor Liebl asked for an explanation on why there had been a change and the Association was going in two different ways. Mr. Aldrich Said the P.E.R.A. plan is very similar to the present plan and there was a need for something to negotiate. He said the P.E.R.A. plan made the benefits the men already had, stronger in some ways. He said the new proposal gives some benefits to the City and some benefits to �he fund. Councilman Breider asked if the membership had concurred with the proposal? Mr. Aldrich said yes, they had unanimously agreed. Councilman Breider asked if any future votes were necessary. Mr. Aldrich said no. He added, it is • ready to go, all that is remaining to be done is to work on the bill. Mr. A1driLh said there was another feature of the proposal which had not been incarpora�ed in the report on the agenda as it was not a cost factor.

He said this would allow the Aesociation and the City Council to adjust the level of benefits in the �uture if the adjustment of those benefits does not effect the cost of the plan. He said the benefits could be adjusted without going to the Legislature. He said this was a very important�part of the bill and a good feature.
