Mr. Foley explained that the plans, as drawn for the proposed Moulon Rouge, puts the set-back from the center line of West Bonanza Road as 106 feet. Mr. Foley further stated that in accordance with the variance that was granted by the Board of Commissioners on March 29, 1954, the minutes indicate that the proposed building will be no closer than 140 feet from the center line. Mr. Foley explained it was the understanding of his client that this 140 foot set-back was intended only to apply to the gambling casino and the liquor dispensing portion of the proposed hotel. Discussion followed with the Board of Commissioners. Thereafter Commissioner Jarrett moved that the minutes of the meeting of March 29, 1954, at which the variance of Will Max Schwartz was granted, be corrected to show that it was the intent of the Board of Commissioners that the set-back of 140 feet from the center line of West Bonanza Road for the proposed Moulon Rouge apply to the gambling casino and the area where alcoholic beverages are to be served, and did not pertain to any other portion of the proposed building. Motion seconded by Commissioner Bunker and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Bunker, Jarrett, and His Honor voting aye; noes, Commissioner Whipple. Commissioner Sharp passed his vote. At this time the City Manager reported that the City Engineer and the Superintendent of Recreation have prepared a rough sketch on what can be done at the Westside Recreation Center.

Discussion was held on the final map of the resubdivision of a portion of Desert Park No. 3 but no action was taken. Commissioner Whipple moved the final acceptance of Improvements in Hyde Park No. 3 be approved. Motion seconded by Commissioner Bunker and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Bunker, Jarrett, Sharp Whipple and His Honor voting aye; noes, none. At this time the City Engineer recommended that the Board approve the final acceptance of street improvement on North 10th Street between Stewart and Linden Avenues.

Motion seconded by Commissioner Whipple and carried by the following vote: Commissioner Bunker, Sharp, Jarrett, Whipple and His Honor voting aye; noes, none. At this time the Board discussed the final acceptance of the addition to the Central Fire Station. Thereafter Commissioner Jarrett moved this final acceptance be approved. Motion seconded by Commissioner Sharp and carried by the following vote: Commissioner Bunker, Jarrett, Sharp, Whipple and His Honor voting aye; noes, none. At this time the Board discussed the opening of bids for the installation of a sprinkling system at Stewart Avenue Park, Bid No. 54.21 and Madison School Park, Bid No. 54.22. Thereafter Commissioner Jarrett moved that bids be opened on July 21, 1954, at 7:30 P.M. for the installation of a sprinkling system at Stewart Avenue Park and Madison School Park. Motion seconded by Commissioner Sharp and carried by the following vote: Commissioner Bunker, Jarrett, Sharp, Whipple and His Honor voting aye; noes, none. At this time the City Engineer recommended that the bid on Bid No. 54.19 Alteration to City Hall be awarded to Lembke, Clough and King. Thereafter Commissioner Bunker moved the bid on Bid No. 54.19, Alteration to City Hall, be awarded to Lembke, Clough and King in the amount of $61,220.00 and the Mayor and Clerk authorized to sign the contract when prepared. Motion seconded by Commissioner Sharp and carried by the following vote: Commissioner Bunker, Jarrett, Sharp, Whipple and His Honor voting aye; noes, none. At this time the Director of Public Works reported that he had talked with Mr. Tam, President of the Judy Rich Enterprises, on the possibility of dedicating a 15 foot alley between the Judy Rich Tract and Meadows Addition. Mr. Tam stated that he was willing to give 8 feet if the adjacent property owners would give the remaining 7 feet; however, the other property owners didn't feel they could give the 7 feet at this time, so they are to renegotiate. At this time Mr. W. J. Norton appeared before the Board along with the Director of Public Works and the Building Inspector to discuss the holdup on the construction of Mr. Norton's building, at 823 North Main. It was explained to the Board that there was very little likelihood that the right of way of Washington Boulevard in this particular area could be utilized. The reason for this is that the UPRR may not allow the City to go over the railroad tracks at this point and the cost of either an underpass or overpass would be excessive insofar as the City is concerned. Thereafter Commissioner Bunker moved that Mr. Norton be issued a new building permit since the time limit on the original permit has expired, without any charge to Mr. Norton. 7-7-54
