'. . . I . . C. Barbara Lantz, 2290 Vera Avenue, lives across the street from Roosevelt School, and said the school buses and the parents dropping off and picking up their children have created a very dangerous situation. She said children dart into the street from in front of - and behind the school buses, and she was afraid someone was going to get hurt. Mrs. Lantz said there was a widened area in front of the school used for faculty or visitor parking that would provide a much safer place for buses and parents to drop off and pick up their children. She asked that a police officer monitor this situation. (100) Mrs. Lantz also said the City was not sweeping their street. Mayor Howard asked City Manager Everett to contact Mrs. Lantz. City Manager Everett said that staff would work with the School Principal, the neighbors, parents and the PT A to see what could be done. MEMO 4/7/98 Council Member Leipzig advised that this situation exists in front of most schools and asked that the City/School Council Committee study this issue. MEMO 4/7/98 Vice Mayor Ruskin, Chair of the City/School Council Committee, asked the City Manager to monitor the situation and keep him apprised of his progress. MEMO 4/7/98 D. John Murphy, 421 Luff Lane, renewed his request that the Council revise the southern ~ boundaries ofGID 1-64, Bair Island, which now has a tax-exempt status. (203) City Manager Everett said that when the Bair Island property was purchased by Post from a private party the City did lose about $20,000 in property taxes. He said, "when you divide that by the number of homes (in GID 1-64) it is almost nil. We have talked to the City Attorney and there is absolutely no reason to change the boundaries. It is a done deal, and there is no more action to be taken." City Manager Everett said that all this information had been communicated to Mr. Murphy many times. Vice Mayor Ruskin said Mr. Murphy has been present at all the meetings of the Bair Island Task Force meetings dealing with a Bair Island Connector Road. He said the Task Force had discussed this issue and it would be included in the Bair Island Task Force Report he was preparing for Council.
