Councilman Haake moved that-the-request-be approved: Motion passed - - - - Street 11A request was received from Oscar H. Ott to allow him to finish Committeei' Dean Drive, and to continue down Dwayne Drive and back to Kaylyn IlDrive, in the manner as when this subdivision was taken into the ICity on January 1, 1969. The request was referred to the Street Committee. IA communication was received from Curtis Bybee, 1.412 Bald Hill Road, requesting that the City place additional storm sewers be installed Ito alleviate the flooding problem. The communication was referred to the Street Committee. The following report of the Street Committee was presented by Councilman Haake, Chairman: jl The Street Committee met on August 25 at 7 p.m. with Council- i1man Riner and myself present. Mr. Strong was excused because of Mother council business . Also present were Councilmen luen, Borg- meyer and Wildhaber and the Commissioners of the Special Road District. In view of the importance of tile meeting, I had hoped that all. members of the Council could be present; however, since only two of the Street Committee members were present, we did not have a quorum, and therefore, only an informal meeting took place. The special road district advised that the lowest bid on Old St. Louis Road was $126,000.00+. This was for a complete job including curb and guttering and a 35 foot street. It was deter- mined that the maximum contribution from the Special Road District would be in the neighborhood of $30,000.00, which incidentally would represent the entire 25% maximum permissible by law. The property owners have in escrow, according to the Commissioners , a total of $48,000.00. Therefore, the combined total is $78$000.001 which means that the city would have to make a cash contribution of $48,000.00 in order to carry out this project. Unless such cash contribution is made, I believe a legal question arises in connection with the signing of a contract since we would actually be encumbering and pledging future revenues. In other words, it would take the maximum 25% which can be legally spent within the city for the current year, next year, and $189000.00 in the following year. As no recommendation could be made by my Committee because of ., a lack of a quorum, and in view of the fact that the special road district has less than 30 days to accept or rej.9ctgSPis contract, I would like at this point to throw this mattee apen/ your discussion and your decision. /is/ Larry Haake Councilman Wildhaber moved that the Special Road District be notified that the City does not have the necessary money. 11 hi rz a Regular Council MeeringSep_tember IMF— Councilman Riner offered the following substitute motion: "That th Special Road District be informed that the City will notify them where they want the money spent.

Motion passed. - The following report of the Transit Authority was presented to toe Transit Council: Authority Report A majority of the members of the Jefferson City Transit Authority approve the bid submitted to the City Council August 18, for insurance coverage on our city buses . .I was unable to contact all of the members as two were out of the city. It is our understanding the lone bid received by Council is exactly the same coverage and cost as we have experienced this ast year. That is a gross premium of $6,356 for one year with a t 438 credit if two buses are withdrawn from June 1 to September 1, eking a net premium of $5,918. We have been assured extension of this coverage for the first day of school since Council does not meet again until September 2, i 1969. The Authority also recommends .to the Council that it approve the hiring of Frank Landwehr as a bus driver. Mr. Landwehr is a college graduate, a long-time resident of Cole County and is experienced as a school bus driver. Sincerely yours -Is/ Robert L.

Attested: September 2, 1969 Adopted: September 2, 1969 /S/ Margaret Christian /S/ John G. Christy City Clerk President of the Council Councilman Haake moved that the Resolution be adopted. The motion assed. Report he following report was submitted to-the-Council by the Director of on Public Works: Parking REPORT OF TRIAL PARKING METER INSTALLATION Meters ( IN 200 BLOCK OF E. HIGH ST. Parking meters of 2 manufacturers were installed on a trial )axis in the 200 block of E. High St. in November of last year. Sixteen Rockwell meters were installed on the south side of the street and 15 Duncan meters on the north side. Both of the meters qere the manual type which requires winding after inserting a coin s compared to the other existing meters now in use, which require inding of the meter by City Personnel on a weekly basis . Both meters were the multiple coin type, accepting nickels, dImes and quarters. This feature proved very popular as approxim- tely 40% of the revenue collected consisted of dimes and quarters. Records were kept for a 4 month period from November to March. he average income per day per meter amounted to 77 cents on the outh side of the street and 71 cents on the north side. No definite reason can be given for the higher collection on the south Side, as malfunctions were very minimal on both meters. However, ome complaints received indicated that coins were inserted in the wrong slot on the south side of the street without registering any time on the meter. An additional coin would then be required and this possibly could have accounted for the slightly higher average on these meters . Z Spot checks were made of the meter returns several times after the test period, with very nearly the same statistics regardless of the time of year. The only significant factor affecting the averag daily revenue in this block was extremely bad weather. The average daily return on the new meters of 71 and 77 cents respectively, is a significant increase over the 38 cents per day average of the old meters in this same block. Numerous malfunction in the old meters contributed to the loss of income and resulted in free parking. Public acceptance of the manual type meter has been satisfac- tory although some complaints were received because the meter didn't register any time. This would be due to one of two reasons : the motorist either failed to wind the handle completely, or inserted the coin in the wrong slot. In general, the public has now become accustomed to winding the handles and this type of complaint has reduced. Insertion of coins in the wrong slot has been more frequent on the south side of the street . These meters have the slots located on the side of the meters and are a little more difficult to see as compared to the slots on the front face of the meters on the north side. On this basis alone, public response has been more favorable to the Duncan meter on the north side. RECOMMENDATIONS 1. That manual type meters be purchased whenever present meters are replaced as manual meters have less working parts, last longer, and do not require weekly winding by City Personnel. 2. That all new meter replacements or additions be the multiple coin type for the convenience of the public . 3. That the D u nc a n Mete r (north side) be selected as a replacement for the old meters in the test area, primarily on the basis of public preference to the coin slot location. 4. That meters be purchased on a 50-50 revenue sh,iring basis or pay -as-you-go plan as the :increased revenue collected per meter would essentially pay for the new meters . 5. That an additional employee be authorized to service the old meters on a regular preventive maintenance basis rather than cor- recting malfunctions as they occur when time permits . It is anticipated that with regular preventive maintenance, that mal- functions would be reduced considerably and thereby increase the revenue, which in turn would more than pay the additional cost of the extra employee. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Ed. H. Rackers, Jr. request was received from Leon Lueckenotte to either remove or Parking and ove to the opposite side of the street the "No Parking" signs in Traffic the 1300 block of East Ounklin.
