Councilman Voile questioned if this ordinance would allow billboards
to be put up in the area along the highway. Planning and Code
Director Tom Benton answered in the affirmative. Councilman Voile
stated he thought there had been an increase in the billboards that
have been erected and felt the Council should take stops to limit
this type of activity. Councilman Voile was reminded that the
Council has no authority at this time as Cedar City is still in
existence until July 1, 1989. Councilman Voile stated he was aware
of this, but felt something needed to be done to prohibit more
billboards being erected after July 1. After much discussion,
Councilman Voile moved to amend this bill to amend the zoning map so
that a strip from the existing City limits of Jefferson City for a
distance of 300 feet west of highway right-of-way, north to within
400 feet south to Cedar City Drive be changed to RC, Rural
Conservation. Councilman Owens seconded the motion. After further

proposal for the Public Access Channel since its inception and moved
to direct the Cable Quality Commission to begin preparations for
broadcasting the City Council meetings. Councilman Mason seconded
the motion. Councilman Scheulen stated his concern about the
broadcasting of the Council meetings saying he felt the Council
should investigate the pros and cons of televising the meetings
before passing this motion. Councilman Feldman stated that the
Council could begin televising the meetings, but terminate this
process if it became necessary. Councilman Veile stated he felt ' ;
there might be some negative aspects to televising the Council '
meetings, but that the positives far outweighed the negatives, and

would be edited. After further discussion, Councilman Feldman
amended his motion to add that the meetings must be broadcast in
their entirety and not be edited. Councilman Mason seconded the
amendment and the motion as amended was approved.
Councilman Owens stated she had reviewed the City Administrator's
report on the staff retreat and two items had caused her some
concern. The first was that the Mayor had been in attendance at the
retreat, Councilman Owens had been under the impression it was for
Department Directors only. The second item was the comments made
regarding the remoial of smoking in public buildings and other non-
smoking programs the Department Directors felt the need to implement.
Councilman Owens questioned what authority the staff had to proceed
in this manner. City Administrator Dave Johnston stated this was not
policy the staff was implementing, but simply a suggestion as to the
direction staff thought the City needed to progress. Mr. Johnston
stated the implementation of this policy would require ordinances and
changes in the Personal Policy Manual, all of which would require
Council approval . After further discussion, Councilman Scheulen
stated he felt this was an issue the Council was going to have to
deal with at some point in the future, an this was an issue which
directly affected the health of citizens. After further discussion,
City Administrator. Dave Johnston apologized to the Council if his
report made it appear as though staff were going to begin to
implement these policies without Council approval .
Councilman Feldman stated he did not feel the Council could nettle
the smoking issue at this meeting, however, they could give clear ,
direction on the first item of concern expressed by Councilman Owens.
Councilman Feldman stated he felt the staff retreats were an
important time for the staff to spend time brainstorming and team ..
building and this should be accomplished without any elected
officials being present. Councilman Feldman moved to prohibit
elected officials from attending retreats for staff development.
Councilman Owens seconded the motion and it was approved.
Councilman Haake reviewed a letter the Council had received in their
packets regarding taxi cab service in Jefferson City. Councilman
Haake stated he felt it was wrong for a city the size of Jefferson
City to have only two cabs working from midnight until 2 : 00 a.m. and
only one from 2 :00 a.m. until 5: 00 a.m. After some discussion on
possible action the Council might need to take, Councilman Veile
requested Marty Brose, the Director of Transportation to meet with
Mr. Landwehr the owner of the cab company and see what can be done
to resolve this issue. Councilman requested Mr. Bross to report back
to the Council after this meeting.
II Councilman Gordon recommended the Police Department pursue the
possibility of having a thirty minute program that would report the
crimes that occurred in Jefferson City for that week. This could
then allow the neighborhoods to be aware of any activity in their
area.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING, JUNE 19, 1989
III
After some discussion on the need for this type of program,
Councilman Feldman moved to direct the Police Chief to meet with
representatives of the Cable Quality Commission to discuss the
implementation of a weekly program to report crimes committed in
Jefferson City. Councilman Mason seconded the motion and it was
approved.
Councilman Voile questioned whether or not the Commission on Historic
Preservation for the City of Jefferson was still in existence.
Director of Planning and Code Enforcement Tom Benton informed the
Council this Commission still existed, but they had not met for quite
some time due to a lack of direction. Councilman Veile moved to
direct the Mayor to contact the members of the Commission for the
Historic Preservation of Jefferson City to meet at their earliest
convenience, elect a new chairman and begin holding meetings again.
Councilman Feldman seconded the motion and it was approved.
Councilman Voile questioned an item included in the Informal Report
from the City Administrator which dealt with the City Administrator's
attendance at an inter-agency meeting. Councilman Voile questioned
whether or not the President Pro Tempore had been invited to attend
this meeting. Councilman Voile reminded the Council that they had
voted approximately one year ago to have the City represented by the
Mayor and President Pro Tempore at those meetings. Councilman
Schoulen expressed his concern about the authority the City had to
invite itself to attend a meeting of an informal group. Councilman
Schoulen stated he jolt the City had exceeded its authority and if
the City were really that concerned about the situation, they should
form a group of their own with the name individuals. Councilman
Voile stated thin group had been formed by former Mayor George
Hartafiold and felt the Council should be represented by the
President Pro Tempere.
APPROVAL OF EXECUTIVE SESSION MINUTES:
Councilman Haake moved approval of the Executive Session Minutes of
June 5, 1989. Councilman Woodman seconded the motion and it was
approved.
ADJOURN:
As there was no further business to come before the Council,
Councilman Haake moved the meeting be adjourned. Councilman Woodman
seconded the motion and it was approved.
