Monday night City Council tabled three resolutions, in- cluding a special assessment on property surrounding the park- ing areas, which would have set the repair project in motion. Council also defeated 6-5 a fourth resolution which would have increased parking rates in the city's lots and structures to fund a portion of the repair costs. COUNCIL MEMBER Louis Belcher (R-Fifth Ward), who initiated the motions to table the first three of the four-reso- lution package, said, "All we're doing now is applying a band- aid with this one time only re- pair." The original parking plan, submitted last summer called for repairs of city parking structures, construction of two Six WAY S GET A FASTER REFU fN D ONE Check your math.

The plan also included a "sinking fund" - money set aside to finance future parking repairs. A special assessment was or-' iginally proposed to fund the parking repairs. In the ensu- ing months, however, purchase of the parking structure and creation of the sinking fund were deleted from the proposal. City statute prohibits the use ofI a special assessment for suchj uses. C O N S T R U C T I O N plans for any new parking structures were also struck from that proposal. Under that proposal, 60 per cent, or $1,073,040, of thefund- ing for the repairs would come from special assessment on sur- rounding property with the re-; maining 40 per cent,,or $715,360 from increases in current park- ing rates. Belcher said he opposed the plan because "the entire thing is chopped up now. There are no plans for new structures, nothing for a sinking fund." HE ADDED that downtown area businesses had only agreed to the special assess- ment earlier because new park- ing facilities had been included in the proposal. Council member Carol Jones Dwyer (D-Second Ward) told Belcher he was "welcome to write up the resolution and get it on the road." Most council Democrats have long opposed construction of' new parking facilities as well as the special assessment to fund repairs. Democratic Mayor AlbertI Wheeler proposed that Council pass the resolutions to fundj necessary repairs and "look at the whole parking picture again in a few months."

"Trpwbridge is popular with students. He relates well with students," Colburn observed. But he called the ward's stu-' dent vote unpredictable, noting that there are no "hot issues" like housing or marijuana to draw students to the polls. Kenworthy pointed to Hem- eryck's work in housing as an attraction for student votes. He said Hemeryck helpad persuade the Department of Housing and Urban Development to sell! abandoned houses and also' backed tenants against land- lords whose buildings violated'! city housing codes. SOME PARTY members crit- icized the move, becauses so much money was spent so early in the campaign, but Colburn thinks it was worth it. Money and lack thereof con- cerned members from both oar- ties. Colbur.n cited the fall elec- tions and Trowbridge's 1976 try for the U.S. House of Represen- tatives as drains on needed cash. "People aren't giving money in the same amounts," he- ex- plained. Kenworthy expects Hemeryck to be "outspent two or three dollars to one." The outcome of the race will also be affected by the mayoral race. "A lot depends on how Wheeler does," said Kenworthy. "If he gets clobbered, there's no way Hemeryck can win." Likewise, the mayoral race may be affected by the door-to- door work and publicity efforts of Trowbridge and Hemeryck. If one of them does particularly well, he will bring some votes to the mayoral candidate of his party. In this way, the Fourth Ward council race takes on an even greater importance for the political future of this city. I An endorsement ad for Trow- bridge which ran a week ago Sunday pleased Colburn. It car- ried 400 names and Colburn said it was the first endorsement ad he's seen run so far in advance of an election. "I was pleased to see that we could do it. It was a gamble. It was a good thing to do." I i k E I 1 1, i' I fSi i ) 1 3 i Surprise! Keep students on boards, MSA asks Houingiu's bad Department of Nea Is Sponsoring D R.
