WIDENING OF 441 - MARY ARNOLD
Mrs. Mary Arnold appeared before the Council to appeal for support for a group known as
"Concerned Citizens for the widening of South U.S. 441 Now." Mrs. Arnold requested the
Council declare by (Resolution) the week of March 9, thru March 14th as "Widen, Resurface
441 Now," week. The goal is to have the petition signed by 10,000 citizens that use Hwy.
441. The petition will be sent to Tallahassee and Washington.

1981 concerning this matter and suggested sending a copy of the Resolution along with
the petition.

Councilman Knight, vote unanimous.
JACK BUTLER - STREET OPENING REQUEST
Jack Butler appeared to request the opening of a portion of N.W. 11th Street and
extension of water service for the development of residential property.
Butler approached former - Councilman Russell Domer personally in 1976 (not in meeting)
with this same request. Councilman Domer advised that if Mr. Butler showed indication of
building, the City would put the street in.
City Policy has changed since then, making the developer responsible for expenses of
road installation. Butler feels his original offer with past Councilman Domer should stand.
Councilman Watford felt this request should be considered as a new one and follow
present policy requirements.
Councilman Chapman noted that if Mr. Butler had received a vote by the Council in
1976 the present Council would have to fulfill the agreement. However, since it was never
brought before the Council it must be considered as a new request.
Butler stated he was unaware the City policy had changed.
Councilman Burk did not wish to deviate from present policy, the entire Council agreed,
and the request was denied.
