Mayor Hyder informed the Council that he had met with the Transpor-il
tation Committee-, consisting of Federal, State and City representaw1
tives, to discuss the problems the State Highway Commission is
preparing to update the entire traffic study for the City, and at
that meeting there was considerable discussion about the necessity
of the determination of where additional crossings will be on the
Missouri River, for future development of Jefferson City. Has
consent of Highway Department Personnel to present to the Council.
Alternate crossing would be some one and one-half miles east of
mitol: downstream, which would require belt highway costing some -
,000000. Consensus of experts that new bridge should be built Traffic
immediately adjacent to present bridge, probably on downriver side, .; Study
which would entail reconstruction of the south approach; which Report .
would remedy some undesirable situations on the south side. The
City needs to know where bridge is to be located so priority could
be given to belt highways . !;
Funding is available at the national level, to be allocated atr
the discretion of the Secretary of Transportation for emergency
bridge construction. Most at the meeting felt it was an emergency
situation on the south approach and on bridge itself. He suggested;;
that the Council urge the Highway Commission to proceed with fundit*
and immediate planning of bridge. pI
Councilman Borgmeyer moved that the Council adopt a Resolution =
approving and requesting immediate construction of a bridge {:
parallel to present bridge, as an emergency measure. Motion

Chris Graham, City Attorney, reported that there has been consider- i
able controversy in regard to the recent increase in water rates.
The a pplication was filed last April, he was instructed by the
Coune 7. to intervene in the case, which he did. In December a
stipulation was worked out by the Water Company and the Public
Counsel who actively intervened. lie thought the stipulation was ;?
reasons le, since the Water Company had requested a 40% increase
and the ultimate stipulation was 19%, based on the fact that the
Water Company had not had an increase since November, 1974. The i
Public Counsel did an excellent Job representing the public ;'Water
interest in this case. Does not wish to be put in the position JRate
that he was responsible for the rate increase. He suggested three !; Increase.
possibilities for future utility increases: 4j
(1) Continue as in the past with the Public Counsel 's Office
to intervene for the City. !
(2) Active intervention at which he would request that ,.
outside Counsel be hired, with Auditors and staff to assist him. I
(3) Not intervene. }
He requested some direction from the Council as to procedure.
After considerable discussion, Councilman Borgmeyer stated !'
that the Council should go on record as opposing rate increases fol�
public utilities. !
Councilman Robinson moved that the City Attorney review each
request for rate increase as it is filed, talk to Consumers l
Council and come back to the Council with recommendations as to !�
! whether they should intervene or actively intervene at such time £
i the Council will decide the steps to be taken. Motion passed.
The Council adjourned to go into Executive Session. 1JAdjournment.
