MISTER MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL: .Public
The Utilities Committee met on Friday, Feb. 4, 1966, in City Utilities
' Council Chamber. Present were: Mayor Christy and Councilmen Skain, Committee
' Stone, Van Loo, Willcoxon, Riner, Hawes, Haake and Debo. Report.
1� After considerable discussion, the Committee adopted the
! following motion by Councilman Willcoxon: "Mr. Leslie Joyce be in-
structed to pick up school children in his buses as soon as he can
;'make arrangements if tires are removed from buses operated by Glen
,, Watson and if Mr. Watson quits business in Jefferson City.
Another motion, submitted by Councilman Riner, also was adopted
:: by the Committee after considerable discussion. It called upon the
, Council to give preference to the City Cab Company for Jitney bus
I service in Jefferson City should Mr. Watson quit service. The motion
,: also suggested should City Cal) Company decline this offer than
I I Council should seek out another cab company which may offer Jitneys
. for bus riders. Mr. Wells of the City Cab Company said he would
make a written offer to Council at its regular meeting scheduled
for tonight.
Mr. Debo, who recently was sent to the First International
;: Conference on Urban Transportation at Pittsburg, Pa. , submitted
Othe following report:
Mayor Christy and members of City Council:
It certainly was a pleasure to represent our City at the First
lInternational Conference on Urban Transportation Feb. 1"3, 1966,
in Pittsburgh, Pa.
This conference attracted more than 1,300 delegates from 37
states, six Canadian provinces and four overseas countries . We had
Governors, ex-Governors, United States Senators, Directors of giant
labor, leaders, transit experts, mayors and even a
;; former Miss Amercia to address us.
11 1 was told that each delegate will receive a transcript of the
'' entire proceedings, and when this arrives I will turn it over to
1! the City for its files.
The Bi-State Commissions from St. Louis and Kansas City were
ilrepresented at this meeting as was the Governor' s new Urban Affairs
'; Department. I suspect I represented about the smallest City at the
: Conference and quite frankly, I came away with the impression that
Federal and State Aid first is going to the larger metropolitan
! areas.
It was my good fortune to meet Mr. Grahm Watt, City Manager of
Portland, Maine, at this convention. You may recall we were told by
i, a representative of the Housing and Home Finance Agency of Washing-
:' ton, that our City was in competition with Portland, Maine, for a
�� Federal transit grant.
Mr. Watt furnished me a brief description of their plan to
Ir
t)�l
Regular Meeting, February
attack mass transportation and I immediately phoned the office of
Ted Herron and dictated this plan to his secretary. I tried to
reach Mr. Herron when I returned from Pittsburgh but he was out of
the City.
I make several recommendations for Council' s consideration:
1. Our transit problem is immediate and we must meet it with
local effort and means too. I believe it is possible to obtain
Federal aid -- and possibly, even State aid by the time the next
Legislature ends -- but this would be too late for Jefferson City.
We must look to our own people and our own resources if we are going
to maintain any type of transit system in Jefferson City.
2. When and if we submit another plan for a demonstration
grant from the Federal Government, it seems to me we would stand a
much better chance if our planning included service to communities
such as: New Bloomfield, Cedar City, Center town, Brazito, Eugene,
St. Thomas , Taos and perhaps , maybe we should look even as far as
Fulton, Columbia, California, Eldon, Linn,Westphalia and other mid-
,Missouri cities . This was a pattern that seemed to evolve from re-
ports of all experts on mass transportation.
We are to be congratulated, I believe, in at least recognizing
we have a problem. Private enterprise, civic pride, local ingenuity
have always been the best tools .
I sincerely hope Jefferson City still has these abilities and
will tackle the transit problem as successfully as it has the
sanitary sewers; our fine school system; our great network of streets;
our efficient police department ; our imaginative engineering depart-
ment; and our efforts to maintain air service to the State Capitol
against some of the greatest odds and critics .
On motion of Councilman Riner, the Committee adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Councilman Robert L. Debo
Chairman - Utilities Committee
Mr. Debo, moved the adoption of the report .
The motion passed.
Mr. John W. Rowland, Jr. , tlembcr General Executive Board, of the
Amalgamated Transit Union representing eleven employees of Mr. Watson,
stated tint it in a pr.ervgiiisite to have mraas tran.9it business and
not a hit and mLss proposition. He asked the Council to give serious
consideration of maintaining c.t mast; transportation service and that
the eleven employees of Mr. Watson be protected.
Proposals were submitted by Glen E. Watson and Virgil. and B. J. Wells.
Mr. James Haake was also interested in submitting a proposal. Mr.
Larry Ilaake, Councilman from the Third Ward, stated that due to a
conflict of interest lie would not vote on James liaake' s proposal.
The proposals were held in abeyance, to be discussed at the Public
Utilities Committee meeting to be held February 8th. , at 7: 30 p,m.
Mr. Riner moved that Mr. Watson' s proposal be filed.
The motion passed.
Merchant' s The following report of the Merchant' s Licenses Committee was pre-
Licenses sented by Mr. Stone:
Committee. MERCHANTS LICENSES COMMITTEE

After numerous meetings studying procedures, policies and
