Falls City Council meets

(KLZA)--During last week's meeting of the Falls City Council, City Administrator Anthony Nussbaum updated Council members on information from the Rivoli Theater Committee concerning the former movie theater and an offer from the Presbyterian Church in Falls City to gift their building to the City.

The committee is discussing the possible purchase of the former theater from current owner Mitch Glaser.

The proposal is to purchase the Rivoli building and refurbish it possibly as a fine arts center and a movie theater, but final plans have not been determined.

The committee has decided for now to focus on the Rivoli building instead of the church.

In other business Council member Kenny Killingsworth inquired about three stop signs posted at 28th and McLean Streets. Mayor Mark Harkendorff said that he directed the signs be placed to help with safety due to speeding in the area. Killingsworth felt the Mayor was required to bring such a proposal to the Council for approval before such action was taken. The Mayor disagreed, noting that one of his main responsibilities is the safety of the citizens.

Harkendorff said people travel of the gravel portion of McLean Street thinking it is a rural country road with a much higher speed limit than the city street speed limit of 25 miles per hour.

The Council also approved board and committee members appointments recommended by the Mayor, and approved lease agreements for city owned farm ground with Jim Fischer.
