Wallner. Also present were Committee Member Pienkos, Ald. Van Lanen,
Police Chief Kraus, Mr. Robert Falkowski, Mrs. Marie Hanson, Ald.
Schaumberg and Mayor Gottfried.
• Mr. Falkowski, S72 W17275 Schubring Drive, appeared before the
committee to discuss his feelings regarding the operation of the
Lakeview Gardens Tavern. He mentioned late hour noises, plus the
great number of parked cars on the street. Discussion followed
regarding a proposed ordinance regarding the regulating of parking
lots for taverns that has previously been in committee since 1974.
Ald. Schaumberg arrived at 7:12 P.M. and assumed the Chairmanship
of the meeting.
Further discussion resulted in the committee informing Mr. Falkowski
that noise complaints should be made to the Police Department. Speed-
ing on Lannon Drive will be monitored by the Police Department. Tres-
passing on personal property will have to be handled by individual
residents making a formal complaint.
Discussion on the alarm systems within the city was deferred until the
next meeting. The committee noted the Welfare Committee has been
• involved in this matter.
The matter of cars parked on Hillendale Drive on those nights the
Mill Valley Baseball Complex is used was discussed. It was noted
that Tuesday and Wednesday evenings created the greatest problem.
Mayor Gottfried's request that d'No Parking" zone be created on the
west side of Hillendale Drive in front of the Mill Valley School and
possibly on the east side of Hillendale Drive from School Drive to
the southerly edge of the Mill Valley Complex was referred to the
Police Department for study and recommendation. The committee noted
that an additional parking lot will be constructed this year by the
Park and Recreation Department which should help alleviate the
problem somewhat.
The various methods of disposing of unwanted animals in the city was
discussed. The use of euthanasia administered by a veterinarian versus
the present method used by the Humane Officer was discussed. Chief
Kraus advised the committee that the city's Humane Officer is paid
$3.00 for the disposal of all animals. He further suggested that the
committee might want to consider an amendment to Section 13.01(9) of
the Municipal Code to provide that in the event the owner of a dog
wished disposal by euthanasia he would be charged from $3.00 to $5.00
depending upon the size of the animal. The Humane Officer would then
be paid $3.00 for transportation of the animal. Ald. Schaumberg moved
to refer that proposal to the Rules, Laws & Ordinance Committee for
• their consideration. Seconded by Ald. Wallner, motion carried.
Discussion on the placement of "No Parking" signs on the south side of
S T.H. 24 from Pioneer Drive to Park Drive, at the southeast inter-
section of Highways 45 and 36 and in the vicinity of the Kingston lake
lot was deferred until the next meeting.
