The Commission reviewed submitted suggestions at their regular meeting <br />in May, and they recommended approval of Elmcrest Park as the name for Community Park No. <br />5, pending verification of historical referehces submitted with the name. A letter was received <br />from Mrs. George (Rose Marie) Steiner explaining the history of the land. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Zimmerman, seconded by Councilmember Connolly, to adopt <br />Resolution #99-10-204 adopting the name "Elmcrest Park" for the 83-acre park west of T.H. #47 <br />and north of 160th Lane. <br /> <br />Motion carried.

By amending the City <br />Code to provide for petty misdemeanor minor offenses such as stop sign, speed, hours of <br />operation and :expired registration, prosecution time and costs can be maintained at reasonable <br />levels, for the defendant need not make a personal court appearance for such offenses. This <br />amendment will allow payment of the fine by mail in the same manner prescribed for motor <br />vehicle violations upon the public roadways. The maximum fine for a petty misdemeanor is a <br />$200 fine with no jail time. The more serious violations would remain misdemeanors punishable <br />by the $700 fine and/or 90 days in jail. <br /> <br />City Council/October 26, 1999 <br /> Page 10 of 16 <br /> <br /> <br />
