'Councilman Wildhaber moved that the resignation be accepted. ,lMotion passed. it IThe following was received from Ed H Rackers , Director of Public !` lWorks: At the last Council Meeting, the question of mileage and car iallowances was brought u Considering rising fuel cost , the Council increased the mileage eage allowance from 10(,% to 120 per mile an . la monthly allowance was increased to $75. It appears that the $75 per month is a fair and just allowance : ,1for department heads who do not utilize their cars in the field all �,lday long, but more so for spot checkin or for numerous night ilmeetings . However, the $75 is not sufficient for the field : inspectors such as the electrical building and housing inspectors ! who accumulate between 800 to 1006 miles per month. Based on 12-A, Finance : per mile, their allowance should be at least $100 per month. I Conunitteellwould suggest the Council consider this change immediately. 1 Z would further suggest consideration be given toward Aproviding these inspectors with City cars in lieu of the monthly 11allowance T he plumbing inspector is currently furnished a City vehicle and feel it is in the City's best interest to put the four field inspectors all on the same basis . I respectfully request favorable consideration be extended at your earliest convenience. Sincerely, /a/ Ed H.

Report. !,Motion passed. - _ - - - - - !+ l'!The following report of the Parking Authority was presented to the ?Council: The Parking Authority met at 7:45 Tuesday, March 12, 1974, wit '! Fall members present. The new Parking Authority Ordinance recently adopted by the I! City Council was reviewed and in connection with Section 8 of the Ordinance, Mr. Rackers moved that Mr. Jim Hartley and Mx. Jim Hamacher be appointed as supervisor and assistant supervisor, E 177. Regular Council Meeting, March 18, 1974. i� respectively, and that such recommendation be forwarded to the (' Mayor and City Council for approval. The motion was seconded by �I Robert Schulte and unanimously adopted. It was pointed out that the terms of all members of the Park- i' ing Authority have expired, and under the present situation, all 1! members are serving until their successors are duly appointed. The drawings and recommendations for landscaping of the parking Mot at High Street and Monroe, and also at Jefferson and High ;! Streets were reviewed and approved. Mr. John Hahn made a motion, seconded by Charles Czarlinsky, that complete specifications , along ' with an estimate be provided by Skidmore, Oings and Merrill, and ; that such specifications and estimates be reviewed by the Authority;. prior to securing public bids . The motion was unanimously adopted Land the Chairman of the Authority was requested to contact the Firm;. . requesting such information. The parking situation at the Garage was fully discussed in Parking . connection with the possibility of restricting parking on the first;' Authority floor to short-term parking. However, on motion made by John Hahn, ;; Report , the matter was tabled. The Parking Authority recommends that the rental rates on Lot # 5, located in the 400 block of East Capitol Avenue, be set , at $7.00 per month. The Authority recommends to the City Council , that the parking;; ; meters in the 100 block of East McCarty Street be changed to five 1 (5) hour limit meters , and likewise, that the parking meters ;; located on the southside of the 200 block of East McCarty also be ; changed to five (5) hour time limit. At the present time, these � rneters are producing very little revenue and because of the ;! experience in the 100 block of West McCarty with the long-term jjmeter, it is felt that this would encourage the usage of these {1 parking meters . !i A discussion concerning the possible sale or lease of air-rightio ,; over parking lots in the downtown area was held. The present zonirg restrictions , with regard to parking, are rather restrictive and the authority was asked to give some thought to various ways of relieving the problem in the downtown area in order to encourage new construction. Tile chairman advised the members that he had requested an opinion from the City Attorney in connection with financing by using the guaranteed bond, which would enable the ; City, if possible, to obtain a rate of interest approximately one half percent (1/2%) above the general obligation bond issue rate. '; This method of financing would be particularly useful in construct—' ing another level on the parking garage or a top deck over the lot (; immediately behind the garage. The Authority suggested that we :; consult a local engineer to determine if they would present a reliminary estimate of cost on adding a second level to the lot ? behind the garage which would be a metered parking facility. There being no further business , the meeting was adjourned. /s/ Larry Haake , Chairman, Parking Authority, ;; Councilman Borgmeyer moved that the report be approved.

A Special Meeting of the Airport Commission was held at 12:00 ! noon, March 13 , 1974, at the Jefferson City Memorial Airport. The irfollowing members were present: Vice-Chairman Ochsner, Members :; Woodman, Ortmeyer, Rackers , Miller and Borgmeyer. Also present ; were Mr. K. Klamm, News Tribune; Mr. D. Higgins , Airport Superin- i tendent, and Mr. Randolph, Airport Manager, i Vice-Chairman Ochsner stated the meeting was called to receive; ' a report from Mr. Rackers, regarding the flood proofing of the area ;' needed for the National Guard re-location on the Airport , and the estimated cost involved. Mr. Rackers , reported that the City survey crew had cross- i ' sectioned the area in question, and upon study of the area, it would require an expenditure of approximately $100,000.00 to raise the level to a height requested by the National Guard. After a lengthy and thorough discussion, it was the concensus of the ;; Commission that the raising of the elevation would not be in the best interest of the Airport or the City and that the construction .` of a levee to protect the whole Airport would be the best program ' to follow. After discussion, Mr. Rackers gave a preliminary ; estimate of a cost of apppproximately $225,000.00 to construct a iilevee from U.S,Highway 54 following generally Old Missouri Highway 194 to a point approximately one-half (1/2) mile east of the Airport; ; boundary, then North to new Missouri Highway 94.
