<br /> . Administrator Comments for the October 26, 1998 Council Meeting <br /> Page Five <br /> October 23, 1998 <br /> Third quarter utility billings were issued on October 16, 1998. The dry <br /> summer led to dramatically higher water consumption, which resulted in <br /> higher bills that have kept the phone lines busy. <br /> Rather than acquire a performance bond for public improvements in the <br /> Oak Ridge Subdivision on Thorn Court, the developer issued the City a <br /> check for $112,500 as escrow funds to insure completion of the <br /> improvements. <br /> 6. Personnel <br /> We have been analyzing all options available to the City as a result of Ms. <br /> Walsh's resignation. Staff will continue to work on developing a list of <br /> options for Council consideration at the November, 1998 Worksession. <br /> 7. Park Development <br /> I will be attending the October 27, 1998 Parks and Recreation <br /> Commission meeting to provide an update on the various park <br /> . development activities I am working on. <br /> a.

Bethel Colleee <br /> Staff has had several phone convcrsations with Bethel <br /> representatives and residents of the Chatham neighborhood. <br /> Bethel continues to work on a concept plan, and will contact the <br /> City as soon as it is available. <br /> c. yauehan Trail <br /> Staff has met with Mr. Vaughan to discuss a possible land swap or <br /> acquisition in order to expand the Gateway pedestrian trail. <br /> Additional meetings will be held as we work on this project. <br /> . <br />
