OTHER BUSINESS Mr. Robert Sheets, Director of Finance, stated that in 1984 the insurance industry had incurred great losses which has made the umbrella policy held by the City very difficult to obtain. Mr. Sheets requested Council's approval of a 90-day extension of the liability policy and noted that the 90-day extension would cost the same as a full year did previously. Mr. Sheets stated that his staff would explore all available sources, in the next few weeks, but that all cities are in a similar situation.

Mr. Hendrix stated that staff hoped to work out a solution to the Short Street closing by the next meeting which would meet the objectives of the different parties involved. Mr. Hendrix stated that the ordinance closing the alley between Brandon Avenue and Monroe Lane would be considered at the next meeting.
