With regard to the Planning Commission's report on Street /Beautification, Planning Director Rudy
Gast stated that upon final vote of the Commission it was decided to recommend that the lights
and plaits be installed for one year period on a trial basis subject to revocation if the instal
lation is found to be unsatisfactory. Councilman Robinson expressed concern as to whether or not
we have the authority to compel removal after installation and suggested that we have-some kind of
contract to grant the City full authority for removal if the plan is unsatisfactory. It was indica
ted that any other street beautification plans would be handled on the same one year plan. With
regard to liability on the part of the city if someone is injured, City Attorney Andrews pointed
out that the insurance filed with. the City will specifically name the City as an insured.
Councilman Robinson stated he would go along with this if it is legally possible to have a one
year contract, a binding agreement so that upon vote or resolution the lights would be removed and
we could enforce it. MOVED by Lynch, seconded by Kurbitz that Equitable Savings & Loan be allowed
the - installa.tion of _.li.ghts anal. planters -for 'a ' one' year period' on' 'condition that they will remove
them;at!.:the end,-of that period-,if the majority of the Council asses a resolution requesting their
removal: carrie_d,- "Brazier, Kurbitz, Lambert, �1�, Lynch, Iunger and Robinson voting aye by voic

method of accepting bids that is being used by the State and perhaps the County: carried, Brazie
Kurbitz, Lambert, Larson, Lynch, Munger and Robinson voting aye by voice vote.

to take place in several Alaskan cities, starting June 12, 1964 through July 1, 1964. His expens
