Minutes December 12, 1994
Commissioner Frost stated that a review of the minutes on the agenda item pertaining
to temporary closure of Perkins Place reflected that there was no discussion about who would
bear the costs of installing the barricade, He noted, however, that the minutes from the
meeting of May 31 reflect that Mr. Svehla had offered to bear the costs of the installation of
the barricade rather than going back to his neighbors and asking that they participate in the
costs. The Commissioners concurred that this was their understanding as well.
It was moved by Commissioner Youngman, seconded by Commissioner Stiff, that the
minutes of the regular meeting of December 12, 1994, be approved as amended. The motion
carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Youngman,
