Minutes. I�( ------------ iMr. Wm. Crabtree, 952 Southwest Blvd. , introduced Mr. Wm. Muehlberg, Hearing `; 950 Southwest Blvd. , as spokesman for the residents in the area on Drainage where the drainage problem exists . Mr. Muehlberg explained a severe Problem on drainage problem exists in their area when there is a heavy rain, Southwest causing broken sanitary sewer lines resulting in 'raw sewerage being Boulvard. dumped in the drainage ditch. Basements flood, moisture in base- ments and washing out of basement windows causing heavy damage. Heavy rains also cause an overflow of septic tanks south of the area which causes a health problem, therefore, causing the residents 7 a handicap in the sale of their homes. They feel that the proper procedure is to present the problem to the City Council since they had accepted the subdivision. Mr. Muehlberg made the following suggestions to solve the problem - 1. Stop the flow of water before it enters Tower Drive. 2. Install a headwall to divert the water beneath Southwest Blvd. , with a catch basin and to restore back yards to original form. He also suggested that the City institute a strict set of subdivision regulations. Mr. Rackers, Director of Public Works stated that a sewer extension would be included in the area sometime this year which would help the problem. Mr. Sheldon Gentry, developer of the :subdivision agreed that the City needs a strong subdivision ordinance. Ile also maintained that since the drainage ditch was located in the subdivision to divert the water to Wear' s Creek before houses were built that the owners of the property should assLime some of the responsibility. The matter was referred to the Street Committee.

Weldon Publisher News Tribune Company Jefferson City, Mo. Dear Mr. Weldon: In reply to your letter of February 22nd. , one of the most disappointing things that have taken place during my term as Mayor is the long time it has taken to complete the Annexation program of Jefferson City. Without defending the delay, the fact that our City has not followed a program of annexation over the years has made the task much more difficult. At the present time we have Area "A" ready for court action, while Area "C" should be ready within the next few weeks. Really, I hope they can be heard together, with the possibility of Area "B" and "D" in the near future. Certainly no-one can defend our present Ward boundaries . The present division does not give equal distribution. You state that the boundary Lines were last redrawn in 1925. That being so, it would seem that there is justfication for waiting until we have an opportunity to present annexation to the court and see what the decision if; upon our annexation proposal. Should the action be in favor of the City, appeals not taken, the entire matter could be concluded within the next few months . If action was delayed, then there certainly would be ,justification to consider reapportionment as rapidly as possible. I cannot imagine: a method of reapportionment that could be independent of annexation. That is the reason I appointed a Committee of Annexation and Redistricting. Mr. Hawes, the Chairman, and his Committee are vitally interested in these subjects and I feel sure that action will be taken. To say that it will occur within sixty days is very difficult. I am not sure that any plan except permanent redistricting would meet the approval of the Citizens of Jefferson City. To put a Citizen in a particular Ward and then in less than a year to place him in another, would be confusing to say the least. It is my sincere wish that within a comparatively short time the question of both annexation and redistricting may be solved. Very truly yours, /s/ John G. Christy Mayor The following report of the Finance Committee was presented by Mr. Finance Haake: Committee Mayor Christy and members of the City Council: Report. The Finance Committee met on March 2, 1966, with the following Council members present: Kliegel, Stone, Van Loo, Riner, Hawes, Regular Meetin March 7, 1966 l; Dr. Skain and Haake. Co-Chairman Debo with whom the report had E been discussed and agreed with, was absent because of illness in the family. ij The following facts Were presented: j; 1) State Law prevents the Special Road District from ti! spending more than 25% of revenue received within a City, in fact, the District is actually not compelled to }I spend any of its revenue in the City if it so desires. 2) Jefferson City shares in the road district revenues I in two ways: outright cash grant in lieu of actual repairs and maintenance, and secondly, the repair and upkeep of roads, et cetera, in our parks and around our schools . E 3) The Finance reports for 1964 and 1965 were reviewed f and these indicate that residents of Jefferson City contributed in property taxes $94,769. 20 in 1964 and $97,901. 23 in 1965. There is no question as to who is supporting the road district. 4) The present assessment is 28 cents per 100 dollar valuation. This rate could be increased to 35 cents . 5) The Committee concluded that even though Jefferson I} City is paying the largest portion into the road district that even though such district may be dissolved through ( action in accordance with state law, that we have no j assurance that the tax rate would be reduced by the County Court, since this rate could be retained in full to pay the costs of county roads and the City could find itself in the position of still paying the lions share but not receiving any benefits either in cash or work performed. k The following Councilmen voted aye: Kliegel, Van Loo, Stone, qa Riner, Dr. Skain, - abstaining: Councilman Hawes.

Public The following report of the Public Utilities Committee was submitted Utilities to the Council: Committee Public Utilities Committee Report Report. The Public Utilities Committee met on Tuesday, March 1, 1966, with Councilmen Stone, Haake, Van Loo, Riner, Willcoxon, Kliegel, Scrivner and Debo and Mayor Christy present. The following proposal was submitted by Floyd E. Nichols. "To the Representatives of the Citizens of Jefferson City, the City Council: I, Floyd E. Nichols, propose to offer the Citizens of Jefferson City, Missouri, a bus service equal to that of any City of proportional size. I plan to start operation with six new buses running on a dependable 30 minute schedule and with extra buses to handle school children. The bus fare will remain the same, with the possibility of a small charge for transfers as is now done in most other cities . Bus schedules will be printed and kept in bus in order to provide passengers with necessary information concerning the service pro- vided. But, in order to provide the Citizens of Jefferson City, the bus service they justly deserve, I after many long hours of thought and research, have come to the conclusion that the City will have to provide me with the following three aids . 1. A $20,000 Grant , which will be needed to begin operations . 2. For the City to absorb State and Federal Taxes . 3. For the City to subsidize me with $1,000 a month until a reasonable profit is shown. /b/' Floyd E. Nichols Mr. Nichols estimated the cost of State and Federal Taxes at $700.00 per year per bus. He said the present bus company was carrying approximately 1,000 persons daily. On motion of Councilman Stone, the Committee Chairman was instructed to seek information on leasing buses and to obtain an estimate from Mr. Nichols on how much it would cost to hire drivers and mechanics and a manager. On Wednesday, March 2nd, , Councilmen Debo and Stone met with Mayor Christy and Bill Federhoeffer of Columbia, to discuss a leasing arrangement. Later Councilman Stone and Mr. Fedderhoeffer conferred with Mr. Nichols . Mr. Federhoeffer said he would try to report at the March 21st meeting of the Council on the leasing arrangement.
