Upon being informed today that Mrs . Mildred Strope had submitted her own name as a Judge or Clerk for the 1st Ward, 4th Precinct, I began to question the possibility of ja conflict of interest, since she filed against me for Committee , woman of this same Precinct. After inquiring about the City Ordinance on on this matter I found that the City follows the State Statutes , Not being an attorney I inquired at Legislative Research i and the Attorney General 's office and City Hall before I brought the matter to your attention. May I respectfully suggest you check the City Ordinance and Section 111.171, M.R,S. 690 lst Section, and I have here a copy of the Attorney General�s Opinion if you would care to refer. j� "111.171 * * * Committeemen and committeewomen of both I political parties are not qualified to serve as election judges and clerks under the terms of this section. Op, Atty. Gen. No. 237, Salveter, 4-3-70." f I think there is a clear conflict of interest involved here; I aleq !4 question her qualification to appoint her people to work at the 1 polls . I appreciate your time and I am sure you will take the .( proper action to insure a completely impartial list of judges and Clerks for the 1st Ward and 4th Precinct. May I also respectfully suggest you check the possibility of committeemen and committee ;' women serving at the polls . I am sure if this has happened it has not been intentional but I think it deserves your attention. { Thank you. Councilman Borgmeyer moved that the Judges and Clerks be approved after those in conflict are stricken. Motion passed. Street An Urban Agreement between Missouri State Highway Commission and ommitteel; the City of Jefferson, in regard to Business Route 50, West of Dixl� Road to East of Southwest Boulevard, was referred to the Street i Committee.

IThe following was presented to the Council: City Council RE: Resurfacing Jefferson City Streets . Contract Dear Sir: Jefferson During a meeting last week with representatives of Labor, Asphalt Teamsters and Hoisting Engineers an agreement was reached that no labor increase would take place on work contracted prior to April 1 ,, 1973. If contract agreement could be reached between the City of Jefferson and Jefferson Asphalt Company, Inc, before April 1, 1973,`: there would be no increase over 1972 prices (11 . 20/ton in place) . Thank you. Very truly yours , /s/ Lloyd S. Huff, Estimator Jefferson Asphalt Company, Inc. Councilman Hager moved that Contract Agreement be approved. Motion passed , A request was received from the Housing Authority for the City to Housing donate Parcels 44-19A and 44-19B to the Housing Authority for use Authority, of the Board of Education, Councilman Hager moved that the request be approved. Motion passed. The following was received from the Director of Public Works: 'Street Committee TO: Mayor and Council: The recent letter we received from Jefferson Asphalt indicates they can maintain the same price this year for the asphalt overlay that was in effect last year. This price would remain firm if accepted prior to April 1st , I feel the City should take advantage, j of this offer, and consequently, I am submitting a list of streets for possible consideration for this year's overlay program, The Capitol Improvements budget approved for this year totals $3502000. Of this amount, approximately $130,000 would be avail&le for overlays . The remaining amount is earmarked for specific + projects, which include the West Main and Greenberry Road projects . The West Main improvement will involve curb and gutters and widening from Forest Hill west to Route # 1,79, I feel the overlay should then continue from Forest Hill eastward all the way to the boundaries of the Urban Renewal project at approximately Fulkerson Street. I also feel West High should also have an overlay from its intersection with West Main and also extending eastward to the bridge approach, The Greenberry Road project will include widening and curb and` guttering from Dixon Drive to the bridge, Similarly, I feel the overlay should be extended from Dixon Drive northward on Greenberry- Road, Moreau Drive, and Clark Avenue all the way to the McCarty Street intersection. A portion of this length should also have curb and gutters replaced extending from approximately Lee Street to Bald Hill Road on the east side of the street, The existing curb and gutters are either non-existent, very shallow which wouldl. not permit an overlay, or an excessive height with accompanying excessive crown in the roadway. This segment should have the curb ;; and gutters replaced on the east side and in the process , the street could be widened several feet , On East McCarty Street, some work has already been initiated (C from Benton Street to Landwehr Hills Road. A leveling course has been applied and the street is still to receive the regular overly},, mat. In addition, East McCarty from Lafayette Street to Locust i` Street should be overlayed. A portion of West McCarty should also receive an overlay extending from Broadway Street to the bridge approach. Part of this length is slated for reconstruction in the Urban Renewal project. However, this would be approximately 3 or 4 years off' ano considering the present maintenance and chug hole problems we have been experiencing in this area, it would seem logical to apply the overlay in order to smooth the street and eliminate the patching problems . The overlay that was applied to East High last season should be extended from Cherry Street all the way out to East McCarty. +t 1� Regular_-Co_uncil_.Meeting, March .5, . 1 973.. ....._.__. ______.___ 33, If these streets mentioned this far were all overlayed, this !'essentially would complete West Main, East and West High Street, ;East and West McCarty Street, and the Greenberry Road-Moreau Drive- 11Clark Avenue artery to McCarty Street. This would involve four of :lour heavier traveled streets essentially all the way through town-- ' streets on which we have been experiencing considerable maintenance ;(problems especially this past winter. One other major street in drastic need of an overlay is ,.Southwest Boulevard from Route C to Memorial Hospital. The total of all the streets listed above is approximately :;$170,000, which is $40,000 more than what is currently budgeted. 'The estimated overlay cost is as follows: West Main from Forest Hill to Fulkerson St. $31,200 Greenberry Rd. -Moreau Dr. -Clark Ave. from Dixon to McCarty including 2,000 feet of curb and gutters i from Lee Street to Bald Hill Road 45,000 11 Street East McCarty Street from Benton Street to Committee '; Landwehr Hills Road 23,400 East McCarty Street from Lafayette to Locust Street 10,400 East High Street from Cherry Street to East McCarty 229300 West High Street from Havana Street to Fulkerson 139000 West McCarty Street from Broadway to the 1' bridge approach 129000 l Southwest Boulevard from Rte. C to Memorial Hospital 11 500 iE 7� b ± There are many more streets that could be added to this list . "However, the ones already mentioned exceed the amount available in f ,,the current budget and therefore I have concentrated on the major ';heavily traveled arterials . If additional funds are made availableli :we then could complete or add to this list. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Ed H. Rackers , Jr. , P. E.
