Jim Strong. Others present were: Attorney Dalton, 6 members of

They are not interested in a summer camporee type operation but do

willing to spend the money to build fences as needed, provide water_;
;land build structures but need a long term committment that will
i1 justify their expenditures . �!
Mr. Palmer spoke on its use for hiking and for merit badge work:,
Lt. Duncan explained that the Police Department pistol range
I E{
Ilwas within the territory but that through proper scheduling and
!'fencing this could be worked out. Police and others use the range (}
' during the week, not on the weekends and mne in the evenings,
ilFurther no firing is permitted unless a fire officer is present.
Public i? Wait Thornberry asked that the lease be as long term as
Buildings possible in order to protect their investment.
Committee l Chuck Barton explained the condition of the area and gave some
Report ;ideas concerning what they would like to do such as to drill a well
ithere if necessary build a shelter, install restrooms. He stated that
was 37.8 acres in the tract and that there was about 200
,.yards between it and the Moreau River. Chairman Hager asked about
,(the city liability, the right to dump trees or store certain city �}
Troperty and what rights should be retained by the city. II
'� Attorney Dalton then asked questions and commented on the type (
suggested
)
, The Cosmopolitan Club gg ested
, of agreement that should be drawn. p
IIthat Attorney William Liliensilk, Jr. , was in the Club, was probably
(the Resident Agent for the Club and could probably work out the
details with Attorney Dalton. It was agreed to follow this
procedure. There was a motion by Jim Strong, seconded by Forest
Scrivner and passed that Attorney Dalton be asked to draw a lease
,presumably on a $1 per year basis stating a duration of 5 years and
:renewable thereafter on a year-to-year basis .
It was felt that the prime lease should be long enough to
}recover their development costs and that a cancellation/pay back
,clause might be included in case the city had need to break the
release before the 5 years were up.
�j The lease should probably stipulate the necessity for a
,liability policy on behalf of the Club and the city and possibly
I,!"hold harmless" clause for the city beyond the liability insurance
provision.
j The Cosmopolitan Club group was dismissed with thanks with the
I'understanding that they would be called back when a contract has
been readied.

(redesigning the Council Chamber since there is considerable
deterioration alon the walls .
I Mr. Strong safd that he had a plan that had been drawn a few
1years ago for completely redesigning the Chamber. It was agreed
I�that recommendations would be withheld until Jim could present the

The following report of the Parking Authority was presented to the
Council: I�
SUBJECT: Minutes of the Parking Authority meeting, October: 19, 1971`4
The Parking Authority met on Tuesday, October 19, 1971 , at 7 :00 p.m
in the City Council Chamber with the following members present: ;Parking
Messrs . Schulte, Strong, Rackers, ilamacker, Hartley, Verslues and 'Authority
Haake. !Report
1. The Parking Authority requests that the Public Works Depart-
ment draw up bid specifications and advertise for replacement i
of the ticket dispenser and gate installation at the parking
garage. The new installation is to be similar to the one
presently used at the parking facilities at Lambert St. Louis
International Airport.
2. The Public Works Department was authorized and requested to
apply a sealer on the four (4) paved parking lots now in use
by the Authority. This will insure that the surfaces will not
be damaged by petroleum products .
3. Mr. Hartley was requested to contact Mr. Donald D. Murphy,
Rockwell Manufacturing Company and request the installation of
multi-coin dual-headed meters in tle200 block of Jefferson
Street on a minimum thirty (30) day trial basis .
4. The Authority voted to request the Board of Commissioners of
the Housing Authority to impose a freeze for a period of one
(1) year on the parking lot lease rates now being imposed by
the Housing Authority. This will enable the City to retain
its present parking rates fDr a period of one (1) year instead
of a general increase which would be required January 1, 1972.
5. After considerable discussion, it was decided to table the
idea of installing a roof over the parkin garage as the
minimum cost estimates were in excess of 75,000.00 and it was
felt most of the problems with regard to leaking would be
corrected after the asphalt concrete overlay is installed.
6, The Authority recommends that for the present time the
employees of the Parking Garage and Parking Authority be E
utilized at their normal hourly rate for any .additional work
necessary beyond their normal work shift rather than hiring
any additional part-time help.
7. Upon approval by the Council of this report, the Authority
recommends that it be empowered to take over the issuance of
No Parking hoods now issued to contractors, etc, working in
the downtown area, and the Authority strongly endorses that
such hoods be released through its office and that a charge bel
made of one dollar ($1.00) per day per hood for the privilege

of blocking a meter. All parking hoods will be changed from it

High Street will be out-lawed and tickets will be issued for
