CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - August 7, 1974 4W and thought that any argument or rebuttal should be at the time of the bid award or under the Budget discussion. Speaking from the Floor: Mr. Matt Altenhofen, Chairman, Public Works Committee: Commented that the Memo from the Committee pointed out the type of things the Committee felt they should get into prior to any decisions being made. He suggested that in the future that any major construction being considered by the Town should be referred to the Committee, and that Council should routinely refer them to the Committee before action was taken. Councilman Cheney moved that that before any major reconstruction and/or contracted maintenance is approved that Council refer them to the Public Works Committee for recommendation, and that Council schedule this matter under "Special Orders" for next Council meeting. Mayor Grabowski seconded the motion which was unanimously approved by Council. Councilwoman Miller, however, commented that Council had made a decision on Capital Improvements Plan, and asked why Council seemed to be backtracking instead of looking forward to next year. Councilman McReynolds also said he would like to see the motion broadened to include a discussion on how the Committee relates to Council. It was agreed by Council that these to topics would be discussed at the next Council meeting. 2. Presentations from the Floor: a) Mrs. M. Davenport, Purissima Road: Said the Horsemen's Association would like to upgrade the Town's 'Horses at Home" pamphlet and include a map along with the dos and don'ts of horsemanship.

The City Manager commented that any map that might be included at this time would be premature since the Town was currently doing a study of paths and trails. Discussion followed, and it was noted that Mrs. Irma Goldsmith had written the current booklet and she had not baen consulted about the Horsemen's proposal. Council felt that in view of the fact that Mrs. Goldsmith had not been contacted, that the Association's first move should be to contact her regarding her feelings on the matter, and that Council would consider the matter at a later date if some agreement could be reached by both parties. Mrs. A. Idood Stonebrook Drive: Felt Horsemen's Assn. should absorb comp ete costs o any go- et. F9rs. M.
