"This letter has to do with preliminary plans that have been ; eport
developed for improving the street lighting on High Street from �I
ashington to Adams Streets. �{
"It is my understanding that the Urban Renewal group thought they 1j
would be able to finance this if the costs were not too high, but I I
have no way of knowing what they thought would be the maximum £igur
11they would go. However, we have prepared an estimate for doing thi +

Regular Council _Mee ti.ng.,__Jul,y_2Q.,µu197Qt _., ..�
ork which amounts to $7, 531,69.
"There is considerable work and material that will be needed to do
'this job. For instance, the 50,000 lumen fixtures which will
r:replace the present fixtures will produce more than twice the light
of the existing fixtures, and they are very expensive because of
their size, and because there is not much of the series street
lighting equipment produced now, as all of the new systems for a
number of years have been the multiple type system,
"There is also considerable underground work .that will be necessary
in running new underground cables on Madison Street from the alley
south of High Street to the corner of High and Madison. Then there
Is the rather expensive type of a series street light regulator
;because of the additional load. Another factor that contributed to
ithe cost of this job is the fact that the present lights that will
come down are the type that we used about 1950, and of course, a
fixture like this is now obsolete,
"If the Urban Renewal takes care of all the construction costs, the
cost to the city for this larger light, which includes the cost of
current to operate, replacement and washing of lighting units, would
amount to $165.00 per year, less the 20% discount for the city.
Thi,s ,would make the net cost, to the city per light per year $132 .00
as compared with the present 21,000 Lumen lights net cost to the
city of $101.60 per light per year.
"This information has not been disclosed to the Urban Renewal or
anyone else in the city administration as I thought it should be
taken up with you first. So if you think we should proceed with
this , please let me know if you want us to talk to the Urban Renewa
people, or whether you want to take it up with some of the city
of,Cicials.
"As you probably realize, the present Street Lighting Contract with
the city does not provide a rate for a light this size, so it would '
be necessary for us to propose an amendment to the present street
lighting ordinance for approval by the city council.
" thought it would be better to give you this information in the
'form of a letter rather than try to give it to you verbally. We
hope we have provided you all the information you need, but please
feel free to call us if we can provide you any other helpful
information.
Yours very truly, /s/ H. L. Ferguson,
District Manager."
Councilman Iuen moved that the present Street Lighting Contract
with Missouri Power and Light Company be changed. Motion passed.

Parking ,°The following report of the Parking-Authority was presented to the
AuthorityrCouncil:
Reportl,Parking Authority Meeting 7:00 July 13 , 1970
,Following members of commission present: Warren Crewz, Robert
;;Schulte, Charles Czarlinsky, James Strong, Ed Rackers , and Chairman
i�Haake. Mr. Ralph Hammond was out of the city and had previously
,,advised the Chairman to that effect.
Mr. Jim Hamacher, Supervisor of the parking garage gave a repor '
I,!to the effect that in June 16,010 cars had used the municipal garag
;pproviding receipts of 5,321. 20. This was an increase of 343 cars
lbut net receipts decreased by 170.35 as a result of the rate
(reduction. The garage costs $118.00 per day to operate and at
'present is not being fully utilized. The lot behind the garage
,rarely has more than eight cars at any given time. The authority
will continue to survey this situation for the next sixty days after
-'which some additional recommendation will be ,made.
1l The authority recommended that a local C.P.A. firm be approved

in business administration. At the end of thirty days the authorit
will review the accounting system along with the amount of time
re4ttired to maintain it and determine at that time if Mr. Hartley
should be employed on a full time basis as the Parking Authority
Supervisor, assuming, of course, that he is interested in the
position. I
Beeauseiof problems arising as a result of unauthorized cars
parking .on the various reserved lots , the commission recommends
that the Council secure bids on window stickers which would identif,
the renters. of a parking space and such stickers would be color
coded to show the lot on which the car is to be parked. Any car
parked on any lot without the identification would be towed away.
The authority likewise recommended that the Council secure bids
for the erection of a , 8mall office in the parking garage to serve
as the main office of the parking authority supervisor, and like-
wise that bids be secured for the installation of a public re st
room on the first floor of the garage. The lack of these
facilities has been the source of a number of complaints.
It was also recommended that the Director of Public Works be
authorized to secure for test purposes a special type of asphatic
sealant and to conduct a test of the product on the top floor of
the garage which is in a badly deteriorating state. A test patch
of this type material has shown excellent resistance to wear, and
if successful, this will save the city thousands of dollars in
repair to the garage.
The Authority was informed that the lots in the 400 block of
East High Street would become available in about 30 days. These
lots will be surfaced and placed on the monthly rental basis as
soon as possible.
The Authority meeting adjourned at 9: 30 p.m and will hold its
next meeting in August.
