On motion of Mr. Burkhalter, seconded by Mr. Scrivner, the Board of
:following report was approved. ; Fire Wardens
?Present: Committee members: Willcoxon, Watt, Sullivan, Burkhalter Report.
Representing Taos Fire Department, Inc: Messrs . Stegeman,
Vanderfeltz, Nolte, Walters and Markway.
.The announced policy regarding the use of equipment of the
Jefferson City Fire Department outside the City limits of the City
of Jefferson was discussed.
Representatives of the Taos unit stated that the council action
: restricting the Jefferson City equipment to the confines of the
:City had aided their membership drive, and the newspaper
.'contradiction had placed them in an embarassing position with
.;people living close to the City limits . They did acknowledge
that at the present time they were not in a position to provide
.fire protection to their subscribers . 'Their equipment is ready
r'.£or delivery, and after several months training they feel that t'
,they can meet their obligation to their members . Their membership
'and organization was reviewed along with the general plan of the
County for rural fire protection .
As a result of this discussion, the Board recommends that the
Jefferson City Fire Department: continue to serve areas adjacent to
`the City at the discretion of the Fire Chief until January 1, 1963
!at which time services will be available from departments outside
tithe City and runs from the Jefferson City Fire Department will be
+'discontinued outside the City limits except for mutual aid calls ."
"The Street Committee recommends that�a�Sewer District be Street
.'established per petition request submitted to this Council by Committee
,Mr. Thomas Graham." .; Report.
!The matter was referred to the Committee of the Whole, August 27th
,at a public hearing and the Clerk was ordered to make the
',necessary advertisement .
:On motion of Mr. Kliegel, seconded by Mr. Willcoxon, the following
report was approved, with the exception of Item Nu. 9, which was
'ordered held over until Mr. Watt returns .
"1. The property owner of Betts Tavern has been requested to make
-the necessary repairs to his sidewalk and has negotiated with the
.Schell Construction Co. to do this work.
2. A request to install guard rails on certain portions of Schott
;Road was discussed with the highway maintenance people and they
;concluded that there does not exist enough shoulder space to make
.; guard rails effective on this curve section but they will place
reflectorized boards in lieu thereof. This Committee so approves .
�a `

Regular Meeting, August 20, 1962
; 3. Mr. Robinson and the City Engoneer received verbal approval
' from the adjoining property owners to improve the intersection of
lee Lane and Moreau Drive by increasing the entrance curb into Lee
Lane. The Committee recommends that the Street Department do this
; work with the help of the City Engineer.
4. This Committee recommends that the drainage study for Bald Hill :!
; Road be set aside until after the Drainage Study Report is received
from Horner & Shifrin in order to eliminate a duplication of work
and further, it is felt that the Drainage Study Report will better i
` show the full scope of the related drainage areas . i
:r5. There exist a drainage condition developed from a drop inlet i
(1900 Block Hayselton Drive) and discharging onto private property.,]
' (Lot 5 & part of lot 4; Sunset Place Addition .) According to the
' City Attorney the correcting of this drainage is the responsibility !lo
the City. It will require approximately 215 feet of 15 inch pipe plus
installation . The property owner will give the City an easement .
. The cost will approximately $700 .00 . This Committee recommends thi6
work to be done by the Street Dept.
6. As regards the petition for the improvement of Lavinia Street
between So. Circle and No. Circle and the improvement of So. Circle';
between West Circle and Lavinia Street , this Committee recommends
that the petition be received and filed due to lack of the required '
support for this improvement .
7 . This Committee recommends that the alley between Moreland Ave . j
and Elmerine Avenue be improved for a distance of 15 or 20 feet i
with "cold patch" by the Street Department .
8 . This Committee recommends that monies be made available in
next years Street Department budget for the improvement of Stadium
Drive from Southwest Blvd. to the proposed Hwy. 54 So. improvement .
The improvement would consist of scarifing the existing roadbed,
install underdrains, improve the present drainage, re-compace and
increase the depth of the base and then cover with a double seal I
coat . Total cost to be $20,000 .00.
9 . This Committee recommends that the improvement of Virginia
Street be handled either by tax bill petitioning or, with Council
approval, by means of private contract . We do not feel that the
installation of curb and gutters in itself will be acceptable since
a surfacing will be required if curb and gutters are installed.
10 . The matter concerning a drainage problem presented by Mr .
James N. Nichols which was referred to this Committee, was evaluated
and this Committee concluded the following:
a. No written permit was issued for the installation of a
24 inch pipe but it is possible that a verbal permit was issuedo
b . That there does exist , as Mr. Nichols states, a drainage
problem in his yard from the natural flow of water coming from
the back and side of his property which cannot completely enteri
the existing 24 inch pipe.
c . That Mr. Nichols is very possibly correct in stating - quoto
"I feel the past or present owner should put in another pipe, 4
a proper entrance to the pipe, and either fill my yard or fix
his yard so the water will not drain over in my yard"-unquote.
d. That this Committee cannot commit itself to the solution of
this problem until such time as it is made clear as to the
City' s responsibility legally and/or morally regarding this
drainage problem on private property."
Report of On motion of Mr. Willcoxon, seconded by Mr. Burkhalter, the following
Downspout & report was approved.
Area Drains . "Having completed the survey of downspout and area drains discharging
into our sanitary sewer system, following is a preliminary report
of the results of this investigation, the cost thereof and
conclusions regarding correction of these violations .

L_ TOTAL----$1,230 .6U
;Notices of these violations have been sent to the respective property
;;owners with a request that corrective measures be initiated within
j;thirty (30) days .
iIn most cases downspout violations could be corrected with a
minimum of expense . The area drains, on the other hand, might of
necessity be quite expensive. In many cases a pump installation fl
!would be required to bring the water from these area drains to street
�,or yard level. �f
1110ur ordinances covering storm water are very indefinite. In other
j;words, there is no definition of how rain water should be handled,
+`!other than to say that it must not be discharged into the sanitary
!!sewers .
'We can anticipate that discharge into back yards might cause
;!further drainage problems for the City' for example, the water that
bight be discharged onto a back yard could conceivably course across;
:'and wash out an alley. We can anticipate, too, that damage could result
it the adjoining property, which problem should be resolved by the
;.parties involved.
In view of the relatively small number of violations observed, it
"pis the opinion of this office that our problem is not one caused
by roof and yard drains alone, but rather that other faults (such
as broken lines, faulty and deteriorated manholes, etc .) exist in
Four City sewers and that further study should be initiated to find these
points of infiltration and correct them."
on motion of Mr. Willcoxon, seconded by Mr . Scrivner, the following lReport -
report was approved. Full-time

recommendation for a full time Mayor and City Attorney for the City Atty.
,City of Jefferson, Missouri, convened August 13, 1962, in the City

It is the recommendation of this Committee that the mayor' s salary,
;which is now $2,400 .00 per year, be raised before the next- City

The following resolution was adopted. iResolution

and,
;Whereas , this honor and distinction is reflected upon the City of
Jefferson
Now, Therefore be it Resolved that the City Council does hereby
commend Chief Sullivan for this well deserved recognition ."
The following resolution was ordered to be recorded in the minutes : Resolution
for study by Mr. Robinson. Annexation.
"Whereas , there has been much recent publicity on the subject of
annexation of territory adjacent to Jefferson City and,
Whereas, such annexation carries with it an obligation for the
City to extend Municipal services to such annexed territory and ;'
145
Regular Meeting, August 20, 1962
Whereas, there exist numerous areas in the City which were annexed
as much as twelve or more years ago, which have not yet been given
gall municipal services and yet have paid city taxes during those
years,
;Now, therefore, Be it Resolved by the City Council that additional
! areas be annexed only after reasonable assurance has been apparent
that regular city services can be given to both the old and new I
areas and that all existing ordinances will be complied with."
