the alley, lighting was adequate, and a supply room in the
rear of building also could be used. Mr. Cornelius was present
and advised Council that the supply room was being used for bike

suggested signs be placed to warn traffic using alley of the
bike traffic.
Building Official Bob Lunsford and Superintendent Phil Ruther-
ford reported they could recommend no changes should be made at
the Municipal Pier since the present handrail arrangement was
based on present engineering recommendations, was identical to
rails on State pier at Gulf Shores State Park, and other piers
many of which have no rails at all, and also, an additional rail
or chain -link fencing would cost approximately $4500. They
recommended the present rail remain as is because it is no more
of a safety hazard than any other structure of its type.
