It is my understanding that you have a copy of this report. I was personally involved n this case, and was the one who brought the incident to the atten- tion of the patrol officers. Because• of this incident I would like to request that the Council g ve serious consideration to either a suspension or revocation of the Green Onion's 'malt beverage license. I will be happy to discuss this matter with you, or appear before the Council to relate the facts of the case to them. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Ralph M. Smith Chief of Police Chief Smith was present and stated he had witnessed a youth, later found to be 16 years of age, leaving the Green Onion carrying a case of beer. He said the youth and another 16 year old had been/the establishment most of the previous evening . in Attorney Timothy Hasler, representing Elmer Foil, owner of the Green Onion, stated that the boys showed false selective service cards . Chief Smith statedthat- the identifications were false but they carried other identification containing their pictures and ages, but were not asked for it.

He said the required alarm system has been installed but will not be in operation for about a week, and requested that Peil be given time to prepare a defense against the police charge and that the renewal be granted. This was denied because, according to City Attorney March, renewal would automatically cancel any alleged violation under the existing license.

COM3\1UN ICATION Concerning the Brown Farm First Annexation. I urge you most strongly, when considering this annexation, to see to it that safe and suffi- cient pedestrian and bicycle lanes are assured along Taft Hill Road leading to Blevins Jr. High School from both the north and the south. The present situation is very dangerous, and I think it only a matter of time before some student is killed along that road. At the time of annexation is when something can be done. If we are remiss in remedying the situation now, it will be too late. Sincerely, /s/ E. R.

ROOF Mr. Tom Coffey City Manager City of Fort Collins, Colorado Dear Mr. Coffey, At your request we have inspected the roof of the Fort !olIins Public Library Building to determine the proper remedies .for stopping and preventing _roof leaks. Present for the inspection on Monday afternoon May 10, 1971, were Larry Weber of Fort Collins Public Library, Mike DeTulio and Harvey Bloom of the City of Fort Collins. An inspection of the roof was made with Harold Wagner Wednesday morning May 12, 1971. Inspection of the attic spaces of the old and new wings showed the sheathing and joists under the clay tile portions of the roof to be in good shape with no evidence of water damage. Leaks are in evidence at various points under the flat, built-up roof portion of the new (easy) ring. It is immediately below this area that the leaks are coming through the plaster ceiling into the library rooms below. An investigation of the roof showed the built-up roofing in this same area to be badly cracked. This area appears to have been patched and recoated many times. Harold Wagner confirmed this. The built-up roof over the connecting link between the old and new wings appears to be in good shape. Mr. Weber indicated that they had .leakage problems through this area up to last'year, but enlarging the downspout from the scupper on the north end of this area has apparently solved the problem. Harold Wagner said he applied a cold asphalt coat on this roof within the last year. The clay tile roof generally appears to be in good shape, although there are some cracked tile. Some areas, particularly on the east slope of the old wing, have been repaired by cementing tile joints. Mr. Weber indicated there had been a leak in this area many years before he came 168 --- —-- ------ --- — — ---------- - - - May 13, 1971- - — ----- — - to the library. Again, there is no evidence inside the building of water coming through the clay tiled areas at this time, and Mr. Weber knows of no leaks under these areas. The fascia and soffit boards at the eave below this area are deteriorating. This may indicate that water has previously penetrated some cracked tile and run on top of the felt underlayment to the eave and damaged the wood members. On the.other hand this deterioration may be due to the fact that this material has been exposed to the weather for sixty eight years. In either event this condition does -ot affect the weather tightness of the building. Based on the above findings we recommend the following action be taken: I.. Remove existing built-up roofing on top of new (east) wing and replace with new built up roofing and flashing system. Under normal bidding conditions we estimate this work will cost approximately - $800.00. 2. Although the existing built-up roof in the area between the old and new wings appears to be in good shape it may be wise to replace it at.the same rime the work is done on the E.igh roof. Under normal bidding conditions we estimate this work will cost approximately $900.00 3• Replace broken clay tile as necessary. Harvey Bloom estimates the City has 700 - 800 pieces of this tile in stock in city facili- ties. Although there are no apparent leaks through the clay tile at this time, replacing the few broken the on the roof will help pre- vent excess moisture penetrating to the felt underlayment. 4. Wood fascia and soffit pieces should be replaced on the east side of the old (west) wing where they have deteriorated. This does not effect the weather tightness of the roof but will prevent future support problems under the bottom rows of clay tile. All soffit and fascia pieces are in need of repainting. Item 1, above is in need of immediate action. It is difficult to say whether the roof in Item 2. will last one more year or ten years. Items 3 and 4 can be deferred temporarily but should be taken care of for the overall good of the building. Since there are no indications of leaks through the clay tile portions of the roof we see no need to replace it at this time. 'de will be most happy to provide any further information you may need. Sincerely, ll il/l lam B. Robb, Architect The Assistant City Manager stated that the repair of two sections of the library roof will cost approximately $1,700.00. Motion was made by Councilman Lopez, seconded by Councilwoman Preble, that the repair of the library roof be approved. Upon a roll call, all members of the Council voted in the affirmative. AGENDA ITEM 611 RIGHT OF R'.AY AGREEMENT A right of way agreement for an underground sewer line between the City and Don 0. and Haleen L. Nelson, was presented.

The Honorable Council, Mayor, City Manager and City Engineer of the City of Fort Collins Municipal Building Fort Collins, Colorado Gentlemen: I am the attorney for the group of people who have homes on Briarwood Road just North of west Mulberry Street in the City of Fort Collins. There is apparently a very serious traffic problem creating a danger to young children whose parents are property owners or lessees in that area. Most of the residents' homes, I am advised, were built before the large apartment complex development to the North on Briarwood Road. My clients do not object to the apartments as such but do feel that something must be done to protect the lives of the children living on Briarwood. I attach hereto a petition to the Council setting forth in more detail the matters above mentioned. Your most earnest consideration will be appreciated by me and more importantly by the parents of these children. Should.you wish further information, please call upon me and I do thank you for your courtesies. Sincerely, /s/ Paul E. wenke Motion was made by Councilman Lopez, seconded by Councilman Fead, that this matter be referred to the traffic Engineer. Upon a roll call, all member, cf the Council voted in the affirmative.
