Discussion ensued between the Board and Mrs. O Brien regarding the length of time for the run. Mrs. O Brien advised that for an experienced runner the allotted time would be sufficient and for the less experienced runner the 5K route should also be able to be completed in the allotted time. Lt. Jeff Loniewski, M.C.P.D. Traffic Division, addressed the Board stating he did meet with Mrs. O Brien to discuss the route and at that time she was advised of the concerns of the Traffic Division as it would require a considerable amount of volunteers along with police participation, and that the EMA (Emergency Management Agency) volunteers would also be willing to assist; however, last week the EMA Director, Rick Jackson, and himself drove the route and there are over 70 intersections that would require staffing for this event; advising they also spoke with Mayor Meer and the Police Chief and they do have some grave concerns about how this would disrupt traffic throughout the City, and at that time they also discussed the possibility of just conducting a 5K, which they did agree upon a 5K route that would start a Krueger and go through Pottawattamie Park; stating that would be their recommendation that it would be limited to a 5K at this point.

5 Regular Meeting July 17, 2017 Page 5 Further discussion ensued between Mrs. O Brien and the Board regarding the proposed 15K being on a Saturday morning in October beginning at 7:00 a.m. which is the off season, so there shouldn t be that much traffic, and the volunteers needed to cover the event. Virginia Keating commented on the concerns and recommendation of Lt. Loniewski; making the motion to limit this to a 5K run; further commenting on the number of intersections being 70+ and that being too cumbersome. Vice-President Murphy proposed finding a middle ground for the proposed event. Katie Eaton, Economic Development Corporation, addressed the Board regarding the proposed event; commenting that she is an advide runner; the draw for the event being something different/unique incorporating the different neighborhoods within the city; this being a fundraiser and their goals for the event; further commenting on the event and the possibility of a 10K run, and looking at the route to see if there are adjustments that can be made to it so as not to impact any major roads; the concerns about railroad tracks and staying away from intersections with stop lights; using bike routes that are already in place; utilizing cones to cut off certain parts of the road, but not closing roads; advising she ran the route at 7:00 a.m. on a Saturday morning, even in prime time tourist season and did not have any difficulty running into traffic issues; commenting that she is 1 runner and they might have at the most runners that would chose to do the 15K, and that it s never going to stop traffic on any of the proposed roads or delay traffic much at all for a long period of time. Vice-President Murphy stated he is open and supportive to the idea and does not feel comfortable saying no to it right now; asking the petitioners to review the route and see if they can come up with a plan to address the concerns the Board has; further stating he is happy to work with them on this, and bring it back to the Board for consideration; expressing his thoughts on this being held during the off-season and the timing of this, which seems to be feasible; and that he is sensitive to the Board s concerns as well. Corporate Counsel Lapaich asked the petitioners to work with the Police Chief, as they did approach her as well and had the same concerns that Lt. Loniewski echoed earlier in that they are concerned about the nature and extent of it and the closures. Discussion continued between the Board and the petitioners regarding the plan for the manning of the intersections; volunteers lined up to cover the intersections; EMA advising they should be able to provide men and beyond that needing volunteers. Mrs. O Brien stated she felt comfortable in getting a substantial number of volunteers; further stating they will be happy to keep working on the route.

Craig Phillips, Planning Director, addressed the Board asking if the owner/contractor has given any proof of the deposit for the work to be performed at 508 Holiday Street. Discussion continued that the Board did receive a report from the Inspection Department on the condition/mechanicals at 508 Holiday Street; notification that the owner/contractor was to bring documentation/written proof of the contract and deposit for the demolition of 201 & 207 Holiday Streets; that again this meeting is about the work to be performed on 508 Holiday Street; condition of the properties; written documentation for any work to be performed at 508 Holiday Street; documentation being shown to the Board last week when the Board agreed to this continuance, and at the time it was submitted the Board was told by the property owner that he had given half down as a deposit; proof of deposit for the work to be performed; the homeowner being responsible as he was told at the last meeting to bring written proof to the Board at this meeting.
