I The City must dovolop a Sewer Use Ordinance to insure proper use in
' regard to Federal & State regulations. The current Ordinance does
,not take into account some additional arc-aa which require considera-
Ition. A now suggested Ordinance will be prepared for consideration
by the Mayor & Council which would bring the City into compliance
with the EPA. It is the policy of EPA not to pay beyond 80% of
.a project until all the above requirements are met . The City has
i
Ireached the 80% of their funding and at this point the EPA will not
1proJect tiny future funds until the Council has adopted required
Legislation.
1 Mr. Bates stated that the Sewer Service Charge is in reality a
l and should not be considered a tax. A flat rate of $3.00
11per month plus . 300 for each 100 cubic feet of consumption is
1;projected. Approximately an 8% increase is needed for the 1979-80
:Budget. The new Secondary Treatment Plant will be operational by
i 1979 and at the present time no personnel have been
1'trained. The current 1978-79 Budget for the Sewer Account is
$335, 160.93 plus $315, 000. 00 for Debt Service. The present income
1from Sewer Revenue is $625, 000. 00. The projected Budget for 1979-8DI,
'pis $343, 134. 72. The new rate would generate an income of
1$718,000. 00 as opposed to the $625, 000. 00 income at the present time;1
After discussion by the Committee, Mr. Kliegel moved that the 1i
Committee withhold accepting the new proposed rate increase until an;(
Audit and Financial Statement of all Sewer Accounts could be
reviewed by the Committee. Motion seconded by Mr. Borgmeyer.

Mayor George Jlartsf iel d
Mrs. neLong , chairman, called upon Mayor Hartsfield for comments
and suggestions relative to environmental quality of Jefferson City .';
The hlayor':s comments covered the following; categories :
1) Highway 50 West Beautification. The Mayor e.cpressed
pleasure that this plan Is going forward because It will provide it
much more pleasing; entrance to the city.
2) The Mayor expressed hope, that use of billboards in the city
will bo discouraged. ;
3) Litter OrdInarice . Mayor hart: field , oven before: his
u.-lection , had woricc.!c.l for improved city sweeping, and more rel,ulnr

negot.iuting; with Hon KttJ:7Gr , owner of the property at :I45 I'.rtst [lig,h .I
Street , to pttrchi SU it for the purposo ul timatoly of making, it; a „

Commission 5) The Mayor pointed out; that so far no funding for land-
Report. soaping, the new Thomas E. Whitccotton Law Enforcement Center hits
been provided. lie suggested that perhaps, the EQC could encourage j!
some organization to take over this project and eventually be given ;
-,proper credit for this environmental improvement. The EQC would be
expected to coordinate this project to be sure it is compatible with
jthe overall city beautification plan. �
6) Mayor Hartsfield remarked that he would need to be informed;
,: of the current funding; status of the EQC.
Mr. Sam Cook responded that nearly all the beautification thus {
.'. far accomplished has been financed by the Federal Housing Authority �I
and with a very minimal amount from the city. Federal funds that
were budgeted for beautification are virtually exhausted; so future ,
,projects will. need to be funded from some other source or sources.
;; Cook commented that efforts by the EQC to reduce billboard adver- (I
; tising within the city limits have met with strong opposition from f
Tithe lobbying forces. Cook then briefed the Mayor on the Commission' s
,: efforts recently to improve the litter situation, particularly with
'': regard to enforcement of the litter ordinance. Mayor Hartsfield
suggested that the public is entitled to some enlightenment and
;pre-warning before stringent enforcement of the ordinance is put i
;. into effect. Sam Cook stated that the local newspaper has offered
i� assistanee in this regard.

11that the citizens of Jefferson City may be encouraged to comply
!ivoluntarily. It was suggested that merchants who are offenders
;; should be given prior warning that enforcement is to take place.
" Mrs. Corliss Jones suggested that this Commission should act now to
jIspearhead a public-information campaign in cooperation with the
!' local newspaper and other media.
') City Attorney Chris Graham had told this sub-committee that a Quality
comprehensive recodification of the health code is contemplated in Quality
f: about six months and that it may be wise for the Environmental Commission
; Quality Commission to delay its input until then. Ultimately it

will report at the next meeting.
