1. Communication from Mr. H. Forrest Wood, 1220 Monte Vista Place, requesting that
the -City Council eliminate the two hour parking on Monte Vista Place was held over
to tae April 18, 1966 City Council Meeting at the request of Mr. Wood.
2. Mrs. Emmons, operator of the Blue Bell Motel, appeared before the City Council
on behalf of her claim against the City for loss of income by her caused by the
inconvenience of the contractor doing the Lower Higuera Assessment District work.
Mrs. Emmons stated that due to tae poor management of the project, her customers,
' who are mostly truckers, could not find any place to leave their trucks while stay-
ing at her motel and therefore have moved on to other areas where they can park
their vehicles. She feels that the contractor is responsible for her problems due
to the way the work was accomplished. .
Mr. Houser, City Attorney,- stated he did not feel this was a legitimate claim
against the City but was more properly a claim against the contractor and recommend-
ed that Mrs. Emmons' claim be forwarded to both the City's insurance carrier and the
contractor's insurance carrier.
On motion of Councilman Miller, seconded by Councilman Gallagher, that the Emmons
claim be referred to the contractor and the contractors insurance carrier with a
request that an• answer be forthcoming from the insurance company by April 18, 1966.
City's carrier to be notified also. Motion carried.

groups of interested citizens regarding the need for additional studies in the City
for housing of low income families.
He stated that some of the citizens' groups that he had been meeting with felt that
studies should be introduced as to the desirability of the City participating in
the Federal Housing Program particularly the rent subsidy program for apartment and
' rental units.
Mr. H. Fryer, Sr. appeared before the City Council stating that he felt that a
study group of this type should be appointed to look into the ramifications of the
Federal Housing Program to see if some facilities could be acquired by the City
through participation in the Federal Housing Program.

income citizens. He suggested that the following persons be named to a committee.
