Mr. Ted Herron appeared and discussed a number of items of (! direct interest to the City and the Authority. Based on his i discussions the Authority makes the following recommendations: M 1 .

The Authority recommends that the Council adopt a statement of ill policy assuring those downtown merchants whose lots are being I' purchased by the Housing Authority that they will be provided adequate parking on the nearest available monthly rental public parking lot. This policy should also cover those individuals i who are leasees and would lose their parking as a result of the landlord selling to the Housing Authority. i 3.

All monies collected from parkin meters, parking lots , shall be deposited with the City Collector to the credit of the Parking Authority N Fund.

That Mr. Hartley submit a statement for accounting services to the City Clerk for reimbursement from the Parking Fund for forty-two (42) hours of service at $3.00 per hour. 6.

That the accounting system recommended by Williams, Keepers, Oliver, Payne and Rackers be approved and fully implemented 1 on October 1, 1970. I� Regular Council Meeting, 8. The Parking Garage receipts for the month of August show a further decline in daily useage of 202 cars between August, 1969, and August, 1970. Revenues show a decline of $36.39 it daily. The monthly total for August shows a decline of $957.65. We are of the opinion that this constant decline is caused by a number of factors , such as the closing of Adcocks and the Brass Rail, the opening of several monthly rental lots, and of course the rate increase. The 90 day period of reduced rates will expire on October 1st and since a quorum was not present we could not officially extend this rate reduction. As Chairman of the Parking Authority, I therefore ask you to continue our present rate schedule for an additional thirty (30) days. Councilman Strong moved that the report be approved.

David and Mr. Robert Hyder, Counsel for the Highway Department, !j and others. At this meeting, two subjects were discussed. The first 1oncerned the question of whether the Missouri State Highway epartment had adopted a policy which would preclude the Highway epartment from any further expenditure of funds for construction rojects in and around Jefferson City. On this subject the Highway; epartment gave its assurance that there was no such policy whatso- ver. In fact, they pointed out that since the newspaper reports hich gave rise to our question appeared, the Highway Department has!, n fact spent additional moneys in the Jefferson City area. One Ili uch project is the fencing project along the Rex Whitton Expressway,,!, nother project immediately in prospect is the Highway 50 Business oute project along Highway 50 west of Jefferson City. j ii Regular Council Meetin&__September p21, 1970. In addition, the Highway Department clarified the circumstance surrounding the newspaper report. The figures released to the news papers were given on request of Mayor Cervantes of St. Louis, who felt that, on a per capita basis, St. Louis was not receiving its share of highway expenditure money. The Department's statistics, which were published in the newspapers, simply pointed out where the federal money, and our matching funds, had been spent. Federal money is spent on projects in cities of more than 5,000 population, of which Missouri has approximately 46. According to the actual expenditures made, the Highway Department was simply pointing out that Jefferson City and a few other cities had in fact received somewhat more than their per capita share of highway funds. This fact, however, does not at all establish any kind of policy precluding the expenditure of any additional funds for highway purposes in the Jefferson City area. The second subject discussed at your Committee's meeting with the Highway Department officials was the question of whether or not a third lane could be established on the existing Missouri River bridge and whether that lane could in fact be made a reversible lane to handle peak traffic loads . The Highway Department pointed out that the bridge itself is structurally capable of handling the additional weight load, and the walkways on either side of the roadway on the bridge were in fact designed to be removed so as to enable the establishment of the third lane if necessary. However, the real problem is not on the bridge itself, but in connection with the bridge approaches. These are two-lane only, and the addition of a third lane on the bridge itself would have no effect whatever on expediting traffic crossing the river on our bridge, simply because the approaches themselves are the source of conges- tion and the expenditure required to make them three-lane would be seriously out of the question. In addition to the expense of converting the bridge to a three-lane system, it would be necessary to construct an overhanging walkway on one side or the other of the bridge. This kind of construction is additionally very expensive. Councilman Nacy moved that the report be approved. Motion passed. - - - _ _ - - - _ - - The following report of the Parking and Traffic Commission was Parking presented to the Council: and Traffic Meeting was held Tuesday, September 8, 1970, 8:00 A.M. , with the Commission following present: Chairman Crewz, Members Findlay, Patton, Pope, Report and Rackers .
