Legal Department <br /> DATE: 9/1/2022 <br /> MEMO: <br /> TO: Mayor Julie Moore Wolfe&Decatur City Council Members <br /> FROM: Scot Wrighton,City Manager <br /> SUBJECT: Ordinance Closing Portion of Alley between North Main and North Church Streets,and between West Prairie and <br /> West Main Streets. <br /> SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the ordinance closing a portion of this alley be adopted. <br /> BACKGROUND: The owners of the Lincoln Theater and the old YMCA have requested that the city close(not vacate)a <br /> portion of this alley as shown on the map in the packet materials. By not vacating the alley the city retains ownership,and can by <br /> council action re-open the alley when it believes it is in the best interests of the city to do so. Closing the alley is not only a <br /> security issue,it allows buses and trucks servicing the theater to do so without blocking the street. <br /> ATTACHMENTS: <br /> Description Type <br /> Ordinance closingortion of alley-North Main Street ("over Memo <br /> and North Church Street <br />
