ARDEN HII,LS CITY COUNCIL - MARCH 9.1998 ~~~~1 2 Mr. Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator, requested a minor revision on page 2, item c, . Compensation, the second line, as follows: "...ofthe electrical permit fees as shown on Exhibit A attached..." MOTION: Councilmember Malone moved and Councilmember Hicks seconded a motion to approve the Consent Calendar as listed above with the amendment to the Electrical Inspector Contract as recommended by Mr. Fritsinger and authorize execution of all necessary documents contained therein. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). PUBLIC COMMENTS Mayor Probst invited those present to come forward and address the Council on any items not already on the agenda. There were no public comments. UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS A. Ordinance #304, County Road F, Name Change Mr. Dwayne Stafford, Public Works Superint~ndent, explained the Council is asked to adopt Ordinance No. 304 which would rename that portion of County Road F that the City took into its jurisdiction in 1995. Several surveys have been conducted to solicit a new name for this . roadway, but no final determination has been made. Mayor Probst explained that when the City originally took over jurisdiction there was some discussion of a name change. However, nothing was done as there was no consensus reached at that time and the residents were concerned about the proposed name change. With the proposed telephone area code change scheduled for 1998, this seemed like a good time to also deal with the road name cbange. One suggestion, based on the history of the area, was that the name be changed to Farrell Road. Billie Schacht, 1683 West County Road F, asked that the Council not consider any of the following proposed names: Arden, Valentine, or Mustang. She suggested the name of Old County Road F, or Country Road be considered. Walter Bieger, 1689 West County Road F, asked that the Council consider the resident's wishes when making the name change. He suggested West Country Road or Country Road be considered in an effort to keep the name as close to the current designation as possible. He also suggested a ballot be sent to residents on County Road F with the proposed road names. Mayor Probst explained he understands there is an interest in moving forward with a name change and it is hoped that through the process of on-going discussion something might surface that is acceptable to all parties involved. He noted one name talked about that is historic in its . origin is the use of the word "Farrell." He explained that the Farrells did own that property at one time and the name does appeal to him.
