Purpose of the meeting ,!was to start negotiations on a new contract between the City and ►Disposal for collection of garbage, etc. Existing contract expires IlSeptember 30, 1976. Present were Mr. Fred Nichols and two �lassistants from Disposal, and Health Committee Members Hager, ,lBorgmeyer, Brant, Robinson and Manes , and City Health Commissioner (Chester McKinney. Mr. Nichols presented and read a five page summary of facts related to the garbage contract as it is today, or since 1973, and (then presented new ideas and changes relating to a new contract . He also presented figures regarding expenses and the increased rate of inflation. t I 'I i MINES 545 . X1X". Mr. Nichols proposed a ten year contract with the City, with increases recommended from the consumer price Index. This was voted down by the Committee but would recommend a six year contract with prices or increases being negotiated each year. As far as the C.P. I. is concerned, the Committee suggests that increases should be focused on the local community and not nation wide.The Health Committee also recommends that Disposal consider buying the bags at a set price over a twelve month period and charge the same rate for that period instead of escalating up and down as the price of the bag fluctuates . This theory resulted because of a change recommended by Disposal , Inc. , that the plastic bag service be changed from a total flat charge to a service charge plus the cost of the bag. The request to change collection from twice a week to once a Public week was held over until figures are received from Disposal Health pertaining to the amount of decrease to the Disposal customers . Committee After the meeting was adjourned, Chairman Hager reconvened the Report meeting, because of a suggestion requested earlier that garbage service bids should be let . The majority agreed but with the stipulation that the Council reserve the right to accept or reject all bids . This should be voted on by the entire Council at once. The Committee recommends to the Council that future negotiations with Disposal be handled with the entire 'Council, preferably the Committee of the Whole , or the Finance Committee. committee Members feel that needless repetition would be avoided and all members of the Council have a stake in these negotiations and many suggestions . Meeting adjourned at 9: 30 P.M. Isl Harvey Hager, Chairman.

He further stated that the plan to ,move the National Guard area north would save only about $1,000.00 ,,which he felt would not be justified because of the cost of ;-acquiring the additional property. His estimate of a land fill to ;:raise the 7k acres needed by the National Guard to a height of 552 feet would be approximately $211,000.00. During the further ;discussion, Mr. Whitecotton said that he would try to set a meeting twith the State Legislators from this area to discuss with them the possibility of acquiring State aid for this project. Also discussed f! Septmhar—l. 1976-- 547. was the fact that the National Guard would not be able to do the land fill because of the time necessary to make the fill when the f construction battalion of the National Guard would only have a two f week encampment.

Motion passed, - - - - - - - - - - Special Councilman Whitecotton, Chairman of the Special Levee Committee of ' Levee the Airport Commission, presented the following report: Committee i Report The Special Levee Committee of the Airport Commission met with representatives of the Missouri National Guard and the Central Missouri Professional Services , Inc. , immediately after the August ,241 1976, regular Airport Commission meeting. Those present were: Chairman Whitecotton, Members Ott, Rackers and Randolph for the Committee, Col . J. Finney for the Missouri National Guard, and Mr. ' Pollock of the Central Missouri Professional Services . Also present was Ms . Jane Stauffer of the News Tribune, Col. Finney opened the meeting by stating that he needed some i indication that the Airport Commission and the City were planning I to continue with the flood proofing of the National Guard site. He planned to be at the National Guard Bureau in Washington, D.C. , in j the next two weeks and would like to have something concrete that will allow the Bureau to continue with the detailed plans of the ,site. During the following discussion, a letter was read from Congressman Ichord that stated the funding for the E.D.A. had not passed either the House or Senate at this time but was expected momentarily. After the appropriation was passed, application forms would be sent out and applications would be processed at that time. Col, Finney also said that he would look into the possibility of some help from the Missouri National Guard should the plan be to raise the site of the subject facility, however, due to the length of the usual encampment of the construction battalion and the required length of time needed to complete the fill, it was doubt- ful if anything could be accomplished using that route. Areas were discussed where assistance for the project might come from, includ- ing the State, the City and some portion of the FAA. Should the E, D,A, accept the application of the City it would mean that the levee project could be completed using 100% Federal participation, , At the end of the discussion, the following resolution was proposed ,! to be introduced at the next City Council meeting and at the next Airport Commission meeting, RESOLUTION The Special Levee Committee of the Airport Commission recommend that the Airport Commission continue to explore the Federal funding of the levee and if Federal funds are not available to recommend i ,,that the Airport and the City Council increase the elevation of an area on the National Guard site to 552 feet at an estimated cost of ` $211,000.00. This is the minimum acceptable program by the National Guard Bureau. Anyone having any comments or criticism of the above Resolution 5� should contact Mr. Thomas E. Whitecotton at 635-3158.

Riley, Attorney for International Telemeter Corporation: September 2, 1976 Mayor Robert L, Hyder City Council Members i City Hall Building ? Jefferson City, Missouri 65101 Gentlemen: On behalf of International Telemeter Corporation, we are advising you that the corporation will make the underground installations Bill 56. that have been the subject of some discussion. These installations Rate will be made immediately as soon as the necessary funds are obtained; Increase from the rate increase. Although I am sure you realize that the International installations are not economically justified even with the new rate ; Telemeter increase, however, the company wishes to honor its franchise with Corp, the city and will continue to honor its franchise with the city. Enclosed are several documents received from the Federal Communications Commission pertaining to rate-making and franchise requirements of the Federal, Communications Commission, You will .note that the Federal Communications Commission does not require any rate-making authority be conducted by the local municipality. In view of our previous discussions, two questions still arise.; One, does the City Council really desire to continue to set the rates for cable televions? Two, would the City Council consider setting a maximum rate of, say, $7.50, with the understanding that the company has no intention of charging that type of rate at the present time? The company would have the right to increase to the maximum rate sometime in the future if the costs of the underground ' installations ,justify such an increase. As you know, the original franchise contemplated the use of poles . With the underground installation, the costs have become tremendously excessive. Certainly the Council realizes that if an installation to a home is at 6. 25, the company cannot justify spending any more than about 70.00 for the installation of the connecting cable. If the cost exceeds thia amount, there is no way ,l the company can recover its capital costs . Therefore, there could be situations where the installation would be economically unjustified. However, the company wants to do the best it can to serve all of the customers in accordance with its agreement. The company hopes that the rate increase can be passed at the next meeting and that the revised franchise ordinance which is in .� :accordance with the Federal Communications Commission's commands, .:can be considered and passed in the very near future so that we will,, not suffer a loss of service by failure to comply with Federal 1,'Communications Commission regulations , i If there are any questions or comments, please feel free to ?I 'contact me. We will be available at the next Council meeting to ' answer any questions , Sincerely, /s/ Michael P. Riley.
