for the Bannock Street location. He said that converting Bannock Street
to a one-way street was part of an overall street system which was to

this proposed traffic system.

Oliver Giseburt, 3171 South High Street, discussed the 1968
election and the special questions which were put before the electorate
pertaining to one-way streets. He said that Ordinance No. 1 related to
Bannock Street and the electorate voted to have Bannock as a one-way
street. Ordinance No. 2 pertained to the twenty-nine foot requirement
Meeting of October 20, 1975
-3-
for one-way streets, and the electorate voted in favor of this. He
stated that he does not believe that Ordinance No. 2 conflicts with
Ordinance No. 1, as Director of Public Works Waggoner had contended.
He stated that the resolution passed at the meeting of October 6 was,
in his opinion, illegal, because a change of this type needs to be
made by the electorate. If Council wants to change Bannock Street to
a two-way street, it should present it as a special question in an
election. Councilman Brown stated that action will be taken on this
subject. He said that at the previous meeting Council thought it had
all the facts pertaining to this subject but have found out that it
did not.
* * * * * *
Cletus Gasson, President of Continental National Bank, was
present. He spoke in favor of retaining Bannock Street as a one-way
street. He said that the Continental National Bank building was designed

would cause banking inconvenience and traffic congestion. He asked the
Council to reconsider keeping Bannock Street one-way.
* * * * * *
Jerry Blumenhein, 3400 South Clarkson, spoke in favor of
changing Shennan Street to two-way traffic. He said that the situation
existing at the Safeway Store is especially unsafe.
* * * * * *
Donald Smith, 3165 South Shennan, reminded the Council that
the original request was to change Shennan Street only and Bannock was
not to be considered at that time. He stated that Bannock is a much
different problem than Shennan Street. He stated that Shennan Street,
as it is now, is not being used as a one-way street should be.
* * * * * *
Henry Morgan, 4231 South Cherokee, spoke on Item 6-e pertaining
to the dog ordinance. He questioned the reduction of the number of dogs
per household. He stated that he was against further restrictions in
this area and that the bill for an ordinance pertaining to dogs seems
illconceived. Councilman Brown stated that Mr. Morgan might wish to read
the entire ordinance as it has been changed. The ordinance is designed
to protect the citizens and pets.

the issuance of a special events liquor license to the Saint Louis
Catholic Church. He asked Mr. Fitzpatrick questions pertaining to the

in that it cannot issue a liquor license to a location which is within
500 feet of a school. Mr. Sunmers presented several other statistics
and discussion pertaining to liquor and liquor licenses.
Donald Smith, 3165 South Shennan, reminded Council that they
