Eacerpts from Minutes <br /> Item#3 Request to make permanent the temporary closure of Union Street south of Main <br /> Street. <br /> Newell stated that the Police Department put a fence up on this street, which is little more than an <br /> alley, on a 90-day street closure action. This happened about a year ago. A fence was put up by <br /> the Main Liquor Store to discourage the congregation of people in the street and sunounding <br /> alleys. This closure has essentially stopped the people from hanging around the area. Staff <br /> recommends the closure be made permanent. It took a year to bring this matter to the <br /> Commission because Commander Mowen wanted to wait until he had collected letters of support <br /> or opposition from each and every business and resident in the immediate area. There have been <br /> no complaints about the fence. <br /> Hansen reported that the Fire Department would have no problem with responding to <br /> emergencies if the street is closed. <br /> It was moved and seconded (Moore/Bauer) to accept staff recommendation that this closure be <br /> made permanent. There being no one opposed, the motion carried. <br />
