Versleus, Ed Cole and Chairman Larry Haake. Members who were
excused because of business committments were Charles Czarlinsky
and Robert Schulte. . Councilman Strong and Warren Crewz were not
present.
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 . That City Lot #18, located on Monroe Street, be exchanged for
4 Lot t could be used for City parking (area behind
ty Hall north of alley) and Lot #"-A would be changed to publ
parking adjoining Im** #�g s uth o f the alley on Monroe between
High and McCarty Street..- B14;C'4y cer
If
2 . 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. That Section 3 of the Parking Authority Ordinance be amended
as follows :
"Establishment of Parking Authority Fund. There is hereby
established a Parking Authority Fund. All monies collected
from parkin meters, parking lots , shall be deposited with
the City Collector to the credit of the Parking Authority N
Fund. All funds from the Parking Garage shall be deposited
to the Parking Garage Fund with the City Collector. All funds
now held in the Parking Lots Fund shall be deposited to the
credit of the Parking Authority Fund. "
4. That Section 4 of the Parking Authority Ordinance be amended
to transfer all parking meter funds from General Revenue to
the Parking Authority Fund effective November 1, 1971.
5. 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 Council publicly advertise for bids for construction
of the public rest room and for the office to be constructed
in the Parking Garage for use of the Authority Supervisor, in
conformity with the plans submitted to the Authority by the
Department of Public Works, and that construction commence
within 60 days .
7. 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.

presented the following report: !;Relations
liCommittee
ii
Your Committee on City-State Relations herewith reports that ilReport
on September 10, 1970, a meeting was held with officials of the
issouri Highway Department, including the Director, Mr. Thomas A.
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.
