Public Zoning Ordinance.
Hearing Mr. Charles Jackson , member of the Planning and Zoning Com-
Planning mission and Chair person for the revision of the Zoning Ordinance,
and stated he was here in favor of the new Ordinance. There have been
Zoning many months of deliberation by members of the Committee and Com-•
Ordinance. mission and felt that the plan set out is very good for the City
of Jefferson. He offered to answer any questions regarding the
new Ordinance.
{ Councilman Hequembourg submitted some amendments and the
Mayor suggested copies be mailed to Council Members , Planning and
Zoning Members , Mr. Benton and City Attorney Graham. They can
then be discussed when the Ordinance is introduced.
J. Raymond Brummet was recognized and stated he really was
not in opposition to the Ordinance but did want to answer a
question - he cannot find anything in the Proposed Ordinance where
any provision has been made for fee simple town houses. Mr.
Jackson replied that type of construction could be covered in the
RA District and in the Planned United Development Districts. In
the new Ordinance the P.U.D. District takes the place of S Special
Development Districts.
Councilman Borgmeyer presented a statement from Mr. Groner,
who was unable to attend the meeting tonight , but did wish to get
these matters before the Council.
Mr. Brummet then stated there was another thing he wished to
got cleared up - whether or not a Real Estate Broker , representing
a client , can testify before the Planning and Zoning Commission
and present the case of his client. Ho asked for a clarification
in this Ordinance. Councilman Hequembourg stated this was include•
l in ono of the Amendments he had submitted.
Mr. Bob Collins , representing the Jefferson City Kennel Club,
stated they felt it unnecessarily restricts the hobby of breeder
or dog-fancier or animal lover, when it in not necessarily a cm-
' mereIa1 operation . Phis proposal limits the number of dogs any
family may have in their possession at any one time but no mention
made of cats , other animals , or stray dogs. It does not regulate
the unhealthy or poor breeding facilities. Mr. Collins stated he
felt he was also talking for hunters and breeders in this area -
a lot of people have dogs which they got to use just once or twice
a year - you cannot tell when a young dog, under six months of age,
is going to be a hunter or not .
A representative of the Central Missouri Beagle Club was
present and Libby 'Then stated it was necessary to keep the hounds
long enough to determine if they were good and sometime you would
need more than four to get a Champion. She stated it was not the
number of dogs in the kennel - it was the way they were taken care
of.
No one else desired to be heard. Mayor Hartsfield stated
this would conclude the Public Hearing.
Public A Public Hearing was held on the possible uses of Revenue Sharing.

6 COUNCILMAN HEQUEMBOURG: Chris, in the bid speci- t-
7 fications that are being sent out or have been sent out,
i 8 is that still calling for a nonexclusive franchise?
9 MR. GRAHAM: Yes.
) 10 COUNCILMAN HEQUEMBOURG: But even though it's
` 4 11 nonexclusive the Council would maintain the right to regu- E
k
1
12 late the rates if there were one or two or three businesses? y
13 MR. GRAHAM: That's correct. If you had five

i cable operators, you still would control the rates of each

7 _
17 comment regarding the increase. The increase was denied or
7
W
w 18 it was actually, I guess, partially withdrawn because of
19 the opposition .of the loss of programming that was going to
20 occur at the same time that different and new programming -:
21 was added. And I think a lot of this is what led up to the '
22 City Council making the decision to put out for bids for ne .
23 cable services because we felt like there were many new
24 services available for cable companies that weren't being
25 provided in Jefferson City and that the only way that we

w
• it COUNCILMAN HEQUEMBOURG: Yes. ,;
i 12 MR. ALDEN: We agree with you to some extent.

14 curious why we weren't asked to provide those additional

17 it just came in the mail one morning.

W
2 18 COUNCILMAN HEQUEMBOURG: I think you were asked
.
19 to provide these services because the initial controversy
20 over the earth station was the fact that there would be a
21 ` loss of programming. And at that time Mr. Graham apeci-
22 fically asked why don't you consider going to a top set
23 converter or some other method to provide additional service .

25 allow the addition of that top net converter but tests

1 mistake us--we're not here to change the process. We' re
Tkz 2 here for a rate increase which we'd like to have because
'' 3 we intend to put in the new services on the satellite -_

4 delivery. The only way we can do that is by putting in an
Aa":
, 5 earth receive station. If we just go ahead and invest those ;
6 +P'
'-
+w,
moneys, I'm sure you people understand, our return invest
7 meat is just going to go down unless we have a compensating a.,
a 8 return for it. .!t!
N ijP f..,
9 If you all remember, we didn't have a rate increas 22
• 10 in the system for many, many years. In fact, this increase _,
Q
-,
11 will still not bring us up to the national average. For
12 twelve-channel systems, that's a very interesting point. � '
w
13 But we're still saying we will put in the
• 14 additional services. Now, I'd like to go back and look at
w, 15 those minutes. But it' s indicated that we Bald we would ,.,
°- 16 come back at some point to talk about those additional
17 channels. Now, I wish there was some way that I could,
w
a 18 in fact, stop your process, but I'm not going to try and do
m
19 that. All we're here tonight for is to request a rate `
20 increase and we're going to put in some additional services
•
21 and an earth receive station, if that's granted.
22 You may well determine that other cable operations
23 can come in to town in which case we'll compete with that
24 operation.

Councilman Wade made inquiry about the street light now being paid_
for by the East. Side Het.terment Association , at the Intersection :'' I
��
of last High Street and East McCarty Street , which is on City
Property. Can the City take over payment for this light? The —,
matter was referred to Mr. Mike Butess for investigation and if <� l
the City is to pay for the light such a Resolution could be brough'; '``£''
to the Council .

Mayor Hartsfield then brought up the discussion of the Firemen ' s
Agreement and asked Mr . Hamburg to explain the changes which had Firemen 's
been set out in information furnished the Councilmen. Agreement .
Mr. Hamburg explained the Agreement would be for a one year
period, rather than for two years. Also, the City would work
with the Union, during the period of this Agreement , to bring the
Ordinance regarding the Firemen ' s Pension Plan up to date , and
hopefully have it ready for a vote of the people by the end of
this one year agreement .
Councilman l3orgmeyer inquired if there was any way we could
also put on the ballot the question of doing away with the Pensio
Plan and putting the Department under Social Security and Lagers ,
the way the other City employees are covered? City Attorney
Graham replied this could be done by a vote of the people if it
(( was worked out through the Council.
Mayor Hartsfield stated the Council would have to resolve
the question of the effective date - in the past the meal al-
lowance has been paid in advance - do you want the Finance De-
partment to go back and deduct the meal allowance for two weeks
or do you want this Agreement effective January 5th? Mr. Hamburg

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING Januar 19 1981
also stated that over the past weekend some of the Firemen stepped
up voluntarily, with the understanding that the Council at the
last meeting had said there would be no pay for that .
Councilman Hequembourg made the motion that we approve the
new Agreement, with the effective date January 5, 1981. Council-
man Whitecotton seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
The next matter Mayor Hartsfield brought off the Agenda was the
Census Census issue. City Attorney Graham advised there would be an
Issue approximate cost of five to ten thousand dollars as an estimate
of the case, to be filed in the Federal District Court , Central
Division, Western Missouri, and in the interim we would attempt
to make a recount . Mayor stated he had written to Senator Danfort,
in an attempt to get an enumeration count by District - there are
about thirty-five Districts, but has not had time for a reply. •
However, a total head-count would be the best evidence for Court .
The Census Count would have an impact on-Grants, gasoline tax, etc
The recount would have to be completed by April 1st .
Councilman Hequembourg made the motion that we file suit ,
keep the options open, allowing us the time to go ahead and make
the recount. Motion seconded by Councilman Wade and passed un-
animously.
Councilman Borgmeyer presented a petition about Woody 's Tavern on
Woody's Sunset Lake Road, complaining about traffic problems, language,
Tavern and general problems for the neighborhood. The matter will be
. considered before the Liquor License is renewed, and the petition
was turned over to Mr. Hamburg and City Attorney Graham.
Adjourn. Councilman Borgmeyer made the motion that the Council adjourn.
Motion seconded by Councilman Whitocotton and passed.
