Dear Mr. Owsley:
In reference to your letter of March 12, 1980 , please find
attached the Project Estimating Sheet. We have broken down
our estimate as per your request.
As shown, the total estimated cost we used was $15,500.00
(our $12,600. 00 proposal, minus $2,100. 00 for target drops
that the City did, plus $5,000.00 , the maximum estimate cost
for utility pick up) . Approximately 80% of the work would
be field, and 20% of the work office.
Should you have any questions on the sheet, or require
additional information, please advise.
Sincerely,

w CITY OF JEFFERSON, MISSOURI
April 15, 1980
GEORGE HARTSFIELD
MAVOR
DEAR FELLOW JEFFERSON CITIANS:
Outlined below for your review is my annual report for the
City of Jefferson for the period A ri K9 until
A ril 15, 1980. In city government there s both a fiscal
year'` . e""';"'lQovember 1 through October 31) and a govern-
mental year ( i. e. , mid-April through mid-April) . This
report attempts to "highlight" the major events of the
City' s governmental year now coming to a close.
Certainly, few could question that the past twelve months
have been "active and eventful" for all of us involved in
the administration of the City' s affairs. Each of us
will have a differing view as to what has or has not been
significant, what have been good policy initiatives and
what have not been. Generally, we will all view
differently the details, style, speed or even the need for
activity on an individual basis. Nevertheless there exists,
we hope, a general consensus that the City Administration
and the City Council are headed in a progressive but
fiscally responsible direction.
Every employee of the City has been encouraged throughout
the past year to keep service to the public as priority
number one. From oral comments, personal letters and from
survey results, I discern that the City ' s 375 employees
have heard that message and are responding very positively.
Serving the public today is challenging and at times
"trying" . However, I think all of us who have been placed '
in positions to serve derive a great deal of satisfaction
from the frequent opportunities, both large and small, to i
assist individuals as well as to try to make our community !.
a little better place for all of us to live. Rightfully
so, we are a community with a great deal of spirit and pride.
The City' s forthcoming year will be, I f.eel, an extension
of the type of year just completed. At least for another
year the need remains for a considerable amount of
administrative change and reform. These activities will
be particularly apparent in the areas of personnel, organiza-
tion, financial administration and planning.
CITY COUNCIL
The City Council has made some important steps regarding
is own role and operation during the past year. It has
eorganized its very cumbersome committee system and has
..reduced the number of standing committees from twelve to
three. The Council has also greatly limited its representa-
tion to the various City Boards and Commissions in an
effort to remove the "temptation" of domination as well
as to further eliminate its own duplication of effort .
Currently we are experimenting with the approach of meeting
weekly, the normal first and third Mondays in formal
session and the remaining Mondays in informal session to
conduct items of business that have formerly been handled
in the Finance Committee , Committee-of-the-Whole, or in
Special Council Meetings. This is another attempt to
reduce duplication and increase the Council ' s own operating
efficiency.
The Council continues to "wrestle" with the aftermath of
the financial scandals which surfaced in 1978 and early
1979. The one-year boycott of three local merchants
expires May 1, 1980, and most of the investigatory and
auditing costs for the period November 1, 1976, through
October 31 , 1979, have been paid. The combination of
tecommendations outlined in the State Auditor' s Report , .,
he Mayor' s Advisory Commission Report and the reports of
the other outside auditing forms leaves the Council with a '
"very heavy agenda" of unfinished business. However, the
current City Council, which incidentally has experienced
a fifty per cent turn over rate during the past year, has
demonstrated both its courage and its ability to avoid
administrative trivia and dwell on the significant issues.
The Council will meet and fulfill its many challenges which
it will face during the forth-coming year.
INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS
Several things took place during the past year which
indicate that the City' s relationship with both County and
State Government is on the "upswing" . The City and County
entered into a contract to permit the County to bill and
collect the City' s personal and real property taxes. Based
on this first year' s experience this project has proven a ,
success for all parties from several angles. The City
requested, and the County Court concurred, in monthly joint
ceetings between City and County Officials to foster
ommunications and to explore other areas of joint ventures
which could lead to sa•iings of tax dollars and better
public services.
-2-
The City initiated the reestablishment of the dormant
City-State Relations Committee. This ,joint Committee has
layed a part in the much improved level of communications
etween the Municipal Government of our Capital City and
our State Government. The City and State executed a
general services contract providing for the State to pay
the City $25, 000. 00 per year for miscellaneous services .�.. �.:
(.e,g, fire protection, snow plowing, etc. ) being provided
to State properties. State Government officials were also
instrumental in assisting the City in receiving three
specialized grants during the past year totalling some
$61, 000. 00. The City also entered into a cooperative
purchasing agreement with the Missouri Division of -
Purchasing and has realized sizeable cost savings on
many items which are frequently procured by the State
and only occasionally bought for City use.
The City also increased its level of activity as a member
of the Missouri Municipal League. The Mayor now serves
on the League' s Board of Directors, and Councilman
Whitecotton serves on its Resolutions Committee. The
Missouri Municipal League has been very helpful to and
supportive of Jefferson City during the past year.
PERSONNEL
A number of very important personnel changes and additions
were made by the Mayor and City Council during the past
twelve months. Some of these were:
( 1) Fire Chief - Drillmaster Bob Rennick of the
Columbia Fire Department was hired as
Chief to fill the position made vacant by
the reassignment of Donald Thompson from
Chief to Fire Inspector.
(2) Sewer Commissioner - Tom Jones, P.E. , was
hired to fill the Sewer Commissioner' s
position which became vacant with the
resignation of Jim Locke. Jones was formerly
with the Department of Natural Resources
doing related work. r•
. yC
(3) City Planner - Dick Preston was hired to fill
this position made vacant by the resignation f t
of Kevin Roods. Mr. Preston holds a Master' s
Degree in Planning and is a Certified
"Planner in Charge" . He previously was in
private consulting work.
q..
-3-
•
(4) Assistant Director of Public Works - Marty
Brose, P.E. , was hired to fill this position
made vacant with the resignation of John
Bryan. Prior to Mr. Bryan' s "coming on
board" in May, 1979, the position had been
allowed to stand vacant since Michael Bates
was promoted to Director in early 1977.
Both Mr. Bryan and Mr. Brose were formerly
employed with the Missouri Department of
Highways and Transportation.
( 5) Finance Director - Darrell Wattenbarger, C.P.A. ,
was hired to fill the newly-created position
of City Finance Director. Although this
Department is still somewhat in its formative
stage, considerable progress has been made
in the areas of investments of idle cash,
budgeting and purchasing. Mr. Wattenbarger
was formerly with the State Auditor' s Office.
(6) City Administrator - Gary J. Hamburg has been
hired to become the City' s first City
Administrator. Mr. Hamburg holds a Master' s
Degree in Public Administration and is currently
City Administrator at Boonville, Missouri.
He will begin his duties here on May 1, 1980.
( 7) Senior Accountant - As this governmental year
drew to a close, the City Council authorized
the creation of the position of Senior Accountant.
This individual will "take charge" of the
Accounting Section of the Finance Department.
Also, during the past year, the City Council debated and
adopted a more stringent anti-nepotism ordinance. A
survey of current CityDepartments indicated a real need
for more control regarding the hiring of relatives. t
ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGES 'and DIRECTION
During the past year several changes were- made in the
City' s Organizational Structure. The Health Department �.
was absorbed into the Department of Planning and Code
Enforcement , and the Department of Public Works assumed Y
full responsibility for Transit and the Central Garage
operations. The independent Transit Authority Board of
Directors was abolished.
-4-
The City' s Parking and Traffic Commission and Parking
Authority Board were consolidated into a new Parking and
Traffic Authority, to fulfill the responsibilities of
both prior bodies. This change has worked well to
reduce duplication and confusion.
The financial functions ( i. e. , general accounting) of the
City Clerk' s Office were transferred to the Finance
Department in November and the part-time position of
Civil Defense Director was eliminated April lst , with
that responsibility being transferred to the Police
Department . The position of Project Coordinator in the
Department of Public Works was "revamped" and the title .
was changed to Engineering Supervisor. This change
likewise clarifies the status of the City Engineering
group as a Division of the Department of Public Works
and puts it on an equal footing with its other sections.
Department Directors have attended regular group staff
meetings with the Mayor during this past year. These
meetings have been very beneficial and have had positive
results from several perspectives (i. e. , uniformity,
harmonious relationships, general direction, etc. ) .
® PUBLIC SAFETY
As a result of rising concern regarding convict escapes,
the Mayor and City Attorney drafted a strongly-worded
Resolution expressing disapproval of certain policies of
the Department of Corrections. The ten-point Resolution
was adopted unanimously by the City Council and sent to
the Governor. As a result of this action, a series of
several law enforcement coordinating meetings were held
with State, County and City law enforcement officials.
These meetings were beneficial in opening communications, L
as well as providing a vehicle for contingency planning,
procedural reviews, etc.
In early January the Jefferson City Police Department
finally moved into the new Thomas E. Whitecotton Law
Enforcement Center. At the same time the Universal
Emergency Number (.911) was put into service for r;
emergency calls to fire, police, ambulance and poison
control center personnel.
• Salaries were adjusted exceptionally for Police Personnel
last year, to help stem a rising turnover rate. Also,
the first Memorandum of Understanding was signed with
-5-
the local Firemen ' s Union. Firemen received several
benefit improvements as a result of the Agreement , but
base salaries in the Fire Department remain an issue
o be addressed in the new year. A spirit of mutual
ooperation has begun to emerge between the Police and
-Fire Departments. Such has not been the case in the
past. Both Departments have been most receptive and
cooperative toward ideas to reduce administrative
overhead costs, improve training, increase productivity,
and to "streamline" their organizations. More can be
expected along these lines in the new year. Both
Departments have reduced their number of personnel _. .... .___
during the past year and the Police Department has begun
to respond to a call for more balance between traffic
enforcement and crime prevention/detection.
All in all, the year ended on a "high note" for those
some one hundred and fifty City employees dedicated to
public safety careers.
FISCAL AFFAIRS
The City' s idle cash reserves remain at about five
million dollars as was the case a year ago. However,
the money is now 987o invested. The bulk of it is
114 urrently invested in short-term high-yield repurchase
greements. The first bids in several years were .:, .'•
opened this year for the investment of idle cash for a :l
lengthy period. Capital Savings and Loan Association
was the successful bidder. In addition, total. City
employment presently stands at eight employees less
than one year ago and the trend continues downward.
The beginnings of a Centralized Purchasing System are
now in place. Although a considerable amount of work
remains to be done on this project , some savings have
been realized through cooperative p purchasing with the j
State of Missouri and through securing comparative
price quotations where previously only a "sweetheart
arrangement" existed. Presently, a Special Committee
chaired by Councilman Darrel Gordon is working with the
Finance Director to review all of the City's insurance t
and bonding requirements. Specifications have been
mailed to prospective bidders and with the utilization
of some new techniques in "risk management" , there is
an excellent possibility that the City' s costs in this r �
4fegard can be reduced somewhat . a
-6-
Our City operations also realized some savings through
an energy conservation effort ( i. e. , approximately a
% drop in dollar costs) . Discontinuing membership in
he Mid-Missouri Council of Governments, cancelling a
computer arrangement with Cole County which the City
obviously was not ready for, and reducing the purchase
of City Directories, also saved us $34, 000 during the
past year.
During our last budget preparation and review period,
several changes were made in budgeting policies and
procedures. The budget documents were in a sufficiently
improved condition that the City Council was able to
make their review, revisions and approvals, in two : 1
'meetings rather than the traditional eight or ten. The
budget document is the policy document of the year. A
tremendous number of decisions about the forthcoming
year are made during this four-month long process.
Although salary increases this year averaged only seven
Per cent, several improvements were made in employee
benefits. These included: a pension improvement,
improved insurance coverage, an added holiday, and a
standardization and clarification of overtime practices.
0 is past year we established goals of ( 1) the elimina-
ion of "earmarked" tax revenues; (2) the establishment
of a comprehensive budget (as opposed to only a General
Revenue Budget) ; (3) the practice of several levels of
budget reviews (i. e. , Department Director, Mayor and
City Council) ; (4) the establishment of employment levels
and employment level goals. Those aspects of these _��... .
Policies not implemented during the past year will be
finalized during the budgeting process this year. We
will also be taking a look at zero-based budgeting this
year.
3 ,
TAX REFORM and REDUCTION
The past year was a good one also for Jefferson City ':
taxpayers. The following reductions were enacted:
(1) The one per cent (1%) City Sales Tax was removed
from water bills effective January 1, - 1980.
(2) The 7. 5% City Gross Receipts Utility Tax was
removed from water bills effective August 1, 1980. ;
-7-
i
(3) The City Automobile License was eliminated
effective June 30, 1980.
(4) The City Property Tax rate was reduced from
' $1. 30 per hundred of assessed valuation to
$1. 25 effective December 31 , 1979.
(5) A proposed increase in the Sewer Service
Charge was postponed for at least one year.
(6) The City Gross Receipts Utility Tax on gas,
steam, electricity and telephone service was
reformed in order that no organization or
individual escaped paying it. Previously,
some forty major gas and electric utility
customers had avoided paying any portion of
this tax. • .
CITIZENS' INVOLVEMENT
One of the most encouraging things to occur during the
past year was a dramatic increase of citizens' participa-
tion in local governmental affairs. At the beginning
of the year, the Jefferson City Clergy Alliance agreed
Opprovide the invocation for City Council meetings on a
otationg basis among its members. This has been a
healthy experience for all parties concerned. ' ^t
During the past year, as Mayor, I have had the occasion ��°
to ask almost one hundred twenty-five local citizens to L_ :•.�
lend their time and talent to the service of their
community as a member of a City Commission or Board, as
a member of the Mayor' s Advisory Commission, or as a
member of some other special task force. To date I have
yet to receive my first "no" . That says something about
Jefferson City as far as I am concerned. At present four
Special Citizens' Committees are at work on some very ''
"knotty" community issues.
Appointments to Standing Committees, Commissions and `
Boards has been made up of about fifty per cent new
people and about fifty per cent rea ppointments. This
sue:
has created a healthy balance, I think, of "new blood"
and of "continuity and stability" . During April and
May and again during the fall, the City Council will
Wmeeting in neighborhood elementary schools, in an
ffort to interest neighborhood residents in the workings
of their local government. We have already met at
West Elementary School and the response there was
excellent.
IMPROVEMENTS TO PUBLIC FACILITIES
This category of the City Budget had its biggest expendi-
ture in history during 1979. There is no better place
for taxpayer dollars.
The new busses were received early last summer. They
were paid for with twenty per cent local funda and eighty
per cent Federal Funds. The four bus shelters, which
were a part of the grant, have been ordered but not
received. When received, one will be stationed at each
Hospital and one will be located at Jefferson and High
Streets.
During 1979, the City experienced its largest street
resurfacing program during any one year in recent history.
Hopefully, after several years of heavy expenditure, our
neighborhood streets are generally in good condition.
During 1980, several new neighborhood streets will be
totally rebuilt under the City' s $5. 00 per foot petition
curb and gutter program. The $5.00 per foot represents
about thirty per cent of the total actual costs.
Also during 1979 and again during 1980, the City will be
accelerating the construction of its sewer distribution
system. Several small projects were completed during
1979 and the Indian Hills area in the First Ward finally
saw some tangible activity. Our goal is to have every
resident in the City served by City sewer no later than
the end of 1982.
After two years of "haggling" , the City finally began an
aggressive program of "curb cuts" in the downtown area.
These "cuts" aid a lot of people besides the handicapped
( i. e. , baby strollers, elderly with or without a cane, '
young children, etc. ) . Last summer the Central Trust
Bank handed the Deed to Overlook Park over to the City
of Jefferson. Overlook Park is located at the end of
Madison Street near the Executive Mansion and was built
as a memorial to the late Howard Cook. It is indeed a
fine new asset to the City.
The Department of Public Works proceeded this past year
• with the preparation of the site for a new Headquarters
Building for the Army National Guard. The Department of
Public Works also put its Secondary Sewer plant "on line"
in September and has been operating it since that time.
-9-
V
With the cooperation of our Department of Public Works,
the Missouri Highway Commission was able to complete the
improvements to Missouri Boulevard, Route B, and the
McCarty Street underpass.
The City Parking Garage was partially renovated during 1979
and will be completed during 1980. The Garage is sixteen
years old and was due a complete renovation. Improvements
to Stadium East (Russell Street) were completed this past
year, and Stadium West was also constructed. During 1980
we will construct Stadium Central, which will connect these
two very important sections of major roadways.
During 1979 further improvements were made to the Dix/West
Main Street intersection, as well as to the Clark/McCarty
Street intersection. During 1980 we will construct East-
land Avenue as well as do the planning for a new North Ten
Mile Drive. Also, the Southwest Boulevard/Thompson Street
intersection will be totally reworked this summer.
i COMMUNITY ISSUES
Several community-oriented issues continue to escape total
resolution at this time. However, activity and "positive
t,t} movement" has taken place during the past several months
on each of the items listed below:
( 1) The Old Jail
(2) Municipal landfill
(3) New Animal Shelter
(4) Expansion of parking
if (5) Construction of a new City Hall
(6) Annexation.
Although I could comment in some detail on the progress
that has been made on each of these projects to date,
there will be news forthcoming concerning each during
the next twelve months and perhaps it would be best to
defer comment until each of these issues reaches the
City Council for debate.
Respectfully submitted,
� Wiz-� �ayor. �Lj
