Council Chambers, City Hall, Jefferson City, Missouri. Present we (;Richard R. Nacy, Jr. , Chairman, and Councilmen Riner, Woodman, Sorgmeyer, Members . Public The following items were discussed, and action taken as Utilities ' indicated. Committee,111. Street light request - Elks Club. Your Committee has Report i'determined that the location of the utility pole in front of the Elks Club is on city property, and in accordance with previous action and inspection, your Committee is of the opinion that this { +; re q uest for street light should be granted. I 'i2. Request for street light - Helias High School Area. Your I :, Committee, after inspecting the lighting situation in front of 'Helias High School , has determined, after consultation with the `;Director of Public Works and by inspection of the area, and by ''contacting the Missouri Power and Light Co. , that additional lights 1�would be of no assistance to Helias High School because of the !; distance from the lights to the school. However, it has been i suggested by the Power and Light Co. that larger lights , 21,000 'lumens in size, be installed with the idea that perhaps they would 1iprovide an improvement. Your Committee agrees with this recommenda1 i,tionI and therefore recommends the installation of 21,000 lumen iligghts in place of those now existing on Swifts Highway across from 1Helias High School. Rnspected. Street light request - Walmart Shopping Center. Having the area, and having been in contact with officials of I,the Highway Department concerning the location of additional poles , in this area, your Committee believes that the lighting already {present in this area is sufficient, and the installation of addi- i'tional lighting is not required. In addition to the adequacy of i1existing lighting, the fact that additional lights in the area Irequested would have to be placed on State Highway right-of-way l dnvolvos special expense and complexities which your Committee fl !feels are not ,justified by any potential result. Accordingly, yyours HCommittee recommends that this request for additional lighting be denied. 14. Street light request - 700 Cliff Drive. Your Committee is of `the opinion and recommends that a light be installed in the middle of the 700 block of Cliff Drive, on the south side of the street. j5. New subdivision lighting on underground distribution systems . ,,Mr. Ferris of the Missouri Power and Light Company appeared beforei �!the Committee to present his views on procedure to be followed in 'future where underground electrical distribution systems are to be i installed in new subdivisions. After discussion, your Committee ! was made aware of the future of underground electrical distribution ) syystems, and is in agreement with Mr. Ferris ' suggestion that on all such future installations, a plan thereof be submitted to the Public Utilities Committee prior to the beginning of the installa- tion, so that the Committee can review the situation insofar as the location of street lights is concerned. The purpose of this is to enable the Power and Light Company to pre-plan the installation of poles and lights, and to stub off electrical facilities so as to make them readily available when street lighting becomes necessary. Your Committee agrees with Mr. Ferris ' suggestion, and recommends this procedure be followed. Mr. Ferris further pointed out that if individual lighting by homeowners is desired, such lighting will be installed without charge if individual lighting is put into operation at the time the overall underground electrical installation is established. Howev- er, if the individual wants such lighting after the initial jinstallation, the individual himself must pay for whatever is necessary to make the hookup to the electrical distribution system. ` Also discussed was the question of installation of decorative 'street lighting. After discussion, it was agreed that cost of such installation must be borne by the homeowners insofar as such cost exceeds that of the ordinary street light installed elsewhere throughout the city. Your Committee approves this plan of charge, 1 land so recommends to the Council. Respectfully submitted, /s/ RichandR. Nacy , Jr. , Chairman. Councilman Nacy moved that the report be approved.

Mr. Rackers answered questions from Council members IlReport. and told the members how the costs were assessed according to State Statutes . The Director of Public Works also engaged in a question and yi answer session with residents who were present in the Chamber. Some discussion was had concerning the eliminating of a few property ; owners on the west side. Mr. Rackers pointed out that the present design of the District was the best plan in order to give service and also keep down costs of construction. The question was placed before the residents , that after seven properties were eliminated, who would be for and who would be against the establishment of the District. Eleven voted for the District and seven were opposed. Mr. Rackers informed members of the Council the reason that a few residents could be eliminated without causing problems . It was moved that we elimi n ate five properties on the west side of Tanner Bridge Road and the Benne and Pope properties , and that we approve the Sewer District, the remaining portion of District 117. The motion passed and is referred back to the Council for approval of the Committee recommen , dation. By eliminating the seven properties the cost of construc- tion would not be increased. Councilman Nacy moved that the report be approved. Motion passed.

The following recommendation of the Jefferson City Commission on Environmental Quality was presented to the Council: April 28, 1972. Gentlemen; Building and At the direction of the City Council, the Jefferson City Grounds Commission on Environmental Quality has reviewed the request of ,Committee Mr. Charles H. Hemmel of Weatherby Advertising Company to rents a piece of city-owned property with twenty feet of highway frontage along Missouri Boulevard for the purpose of erecting a 600 square foot billboard. II It is the Commission's recommendation that Mr. Hemmel 'n request be denied for the following reasons: i! 1) In the Commission's opinion, permitting the erection of a 600 square foot billboard on a piece of land with only twenty�j feet of highway frontage violates the spirit, if not the letter, of the city' s sign ordinance #8396. ` 2) In addition, a billboard of such proportions would cover much�l of the western side of the new building being constructed adjacent to the land Mr. Hemmel wishes to rent. 3) Finally, the Commission members strongly believe that no 1 commercial signs should be situated on city-owned pro erty in accordance with the intent and purpose of Ordinance #9396. In a few instances there are such signs on city-owned property without contract and frequently without Just compensation to the City . It is the Commission's suggestion that the City take action to obtain removal, of such signs in the near future. For the Commission, /s/ Sam B. Cook, Chairman. Councilman Riner moved that the matter be referred to the Building and Grounds Committee.
