Councilman Ledbetter stated that he feels that the northwest
corner of the lake needs to be stabalized.
Councilman Asting stated that to leave the shell already stock-
piled would be a waste of money. We should use this shell and
all the work can be done by the City's crew.
Mr. Copeland, Street Supervisor, stated that the sand is best
used to stabali'ze, however there is approximately 4,500 yards
of shell still stockpiled.
Mayor Christy passed out pictOres of this area and he read the
report given by Mr. Copeland of how the shell has already been
used.
Councilman Asting stated that the shell should be used on our
streets.
There was di'scussion about whether the Cityhs crew should keep
digging for shell. There was also discussion about the di'stahce
the water tow~r is from the location of the digging.
The City Clerk reminded the Council that we should stay with th~ i
issue at hand.
Councilman Asting made a motion that we move the shell that
Mr. Wi 1 son has a 1 ready dug and s tockpi'l ed, bei ng seconded by
Councilman Ledbetter.
Councilman Rotundo asked if this means just leveling off what
i's already there?
There was discussion at this time as to how this will be done,
looking at the picttires the Councilmen voiced their opinions.
Mr. Copeland explained that he has a lot of work that has already
been d~layed because of this and he can not get this done in a week.

There was discussion about the pump that is already rented
until the 1st of April. It was explained that if the pumping
is stopped, it will all be covered up.
Mayor Christy stated that he doesn't know of any tests being
run. He read the letter from D.E.R. which stated that this
should be done daily.
Councilman Glaser asked if Mr. Copeland can give us a report
at our next Council meeting, and then we will discuss taking
the rest of the shell out.
Mr. Copeland stated again that he has a lot of work to do and
his equipment has been in for repairs, if he has everything
working Monday, he will do his best, but he can't promise when
he can have it all done.
Upon roll call vote, the motion CARRIED 5-0.
Councilman Asting made a motion that the Street Department
Supervisor screen the stockpiled shell; what is not of good
quality should be used to restore the lake area and make it
like it was originally, being seconded by Councilman Rotundo.
Upon roll call vote, the motion CARRIED 5-0.
Coun~i1man Asting added that this is to be accomplished, but
not given a high priority due to the fact that Mr. Copeland
has other work that should be taken care of first.
