293 September ].8, 1979 Based on the information outlined above, I have requested the Department of Engineering to identify by means of a coding system those isolated areas requiring curbs and gutters. The coded identification of these isolated areas will then be shown in more detail as part~f each project listed on the curb and gutter priority list. In otherwords, when we assessed the curb and gutter requirements initially these areas were identified and included for design purposes as part of the closest major project on the list. The above procedure will detail areas such as Vermont and Potomac and permit the citizens to identify their priority number. It is my recommendation that this addendum be added for the isolated areas and that they remain an intergal part of the priority systems as originally designed." Motion of Mr. Early and seconded by Mr. Oast, that the report to be received as informa- tion, and that the citizens to be advised, and was adopted by unanimous vote. The following:reports from the City Manager were presented: 79-354 "Consideration of an ordinance on first reading to appropriate $225,000 from the G~nerai Fund for the operation of the Chore/Companion Program.
