TO THE CITIZENS OF SALINA:
It is my pleasure on behalf of my fellow Commissioners and the
municipal administration to introduce you to our 1970 Annual Report
Wt are extremely grateful to the Coronado Area Council Boy Scouts of
America for distributing the report, throughout the residential areas, as
a community service project. As you see, the 1970 report comes to
you along with a calendar ueginning with April, 1971 and continuing
through March, 1972. This way we are able to review the financial
report, projects and other highlights of 1970 with you, and at the same
time we hope the calendar with its information concerning scheduled
meetings and activities will continue to be useful in the months ahead,
The functioning of our City Government and many of the improve-
ments that have taken place have come as a result of citizen participation.
The names of the people presently serving on our various Boards and
Commissions appear on page 4 of this report. To this \ can only add the
heartfelt thanks of the entire City Commission to those dedicated
citizens and their numerous predecessors for helping make Salina such a
fine community. Without active citizen support, participation ood
coopp.ration in civic affoirs during the past yenr, as well as in previous
years, many accomplishments would not be a reality.
I wish to express my sincere appreciation for the opportunity to
serve as your Mayor during the past year. I t has been a most challenging
and enriching experience.
Sincerely,
Q.,.--4'i.// f L.@Z.',J?''''-

COMMISSIONS
Approximately 180 citizens serving in various capacities on 26 boards. commissions and committees help represent the entire community in our citY
government. Several of these groups serve in an advisory capacity to the City Commission. Others perform as directing or supervisory boards and still
others as appeal boards. Most important is the tact that the people of Salina are not only represented by their five elected Commissioners, but also by
these many citizens from throughout the community who are willing to give unselfishly of their time and ability.

As the chief administrative officer, the City Manager serves in a capacity
not unlike that of a chief executive or general manager of a private corpora-
tion. It is his responsibility to see that the policies and ordinances est.ablished
by the Board of Directors (City Commission) Clfe administered, and the affairs
of the city managed, to the satisfaction of the Board. The authority, as well
as the responsibility of the City Manager is established by state law.
Probably the greatest challenge confronting all City Managers is the
necessity for innovation. Cities certainly do not enjoy any immunity to the
influence of inflation. The costs of manpower, material and equipment con-
tinue to rise. Still we all expect the same level of services to be maintained or
expanded or additional services to be instituted. The City Manager and his
staff must be always imaginative and innovative.
It simply is not the nature of the American people to be satisfied with the
"Status Ouo". We want and expect to see continual improvement and more
efficiency. As our society advances technologically, nearly everything we are
involved in or with, changes. Our transportation, recreation, mode or living,
clothing, schools, medical facilities and our food are all continually being
improved. We expect no le% in the services provided by our various levels of
government.
There are no rabbits to be pulled from hats, no magic wands to be waved.
It's simply a matter of planning, searching, thinking, trying, and testing ways
to better utilize people and equipment. It makes 110 difference whether you
happen to be the manager of a retail business, the head of a manufacturing
corporation, the pn~sidp.nt of a college or if City Manager m the name of the game
is the same +u "How to get more mileJge out of the buck". Every idea, every
effort, every recommendation made by the City Manager and his staff during
1970, and in prior years, toward reorganization, cross-training and upgrading
has been with this in mind. We simply have to he willing to depart from the
conventional.
The municipal organization has undergone several significant modifications

in recent years. All of which have resulted in increased efficiency and savings
in dollars ami have been accomplished without any increase in the number of
department heads. As an example, our purchasing has been centralized and
systemized. This has enabled us to buy in quantity and make sure we are getting
the best price.
The Purchasing Agent also serves as Director of Personnel and City
Tre<:l5urer. While th~ final decision on hiring and promoting remains with the
department head and City Manager, we have been able to establish uniform
policies and procedures in all departments.
A Central Garage was setup in 1963 in order to: have reliable records on
maintenance and operating costs; carry out preventive maintenance thru
scheduled servicing and to centralize responsibility, control and supervision of
the overall equipment maintenance program. Previous to that wewereoperat.
ing two shops and sending much of the work out to various private garages.
A few years ago several of our departments such as Street, Sanitalion,
Flood Control, Traffic, Parks, Waste Disposal, Buildings and Cemetery were
unified in what is known as the Department of Services. Under one director it
has proven to benefit you, the taxpayer, thru better utilization of manpower
and equipment.
The same basic idea applies to the Department of Safety. If our automobile
engine, or the kitchen curtain catches on fire we non't cafe who puts the fire
out. We don't care if it's a fireman, a policeman or a combination of the two
m just so he or they get there quickly and get the job done. If we're having a
Home Safety Inspection conducted we don't care if it's a fireman or a building
inspector --- just so he knows his job and does it efficiently.
It is and shall remain the commitment of your municipal administration
to search for and recommend to the governing body such ways as these of
streamlining and up-grading municipal services, both for the benefit of
city employees and the people we serve.

PLANNING
Available space does not perm"lt us to go
into detail on the various projects and ac-
tivities which our planning staff has con-
cerned itself with during 1970. Possibly
just mentioning some of them will give you
a better appreciation of how necessary
planning and research work is if we hope
to have orderly growth and make the best
use of our land, utilities, streets and re-
sources. The year included research and
other work on: 40 rezoning petitions and
19 plats; Neighborhood Development Pro-
gram (NDP);CommunityRenewa\ Program
(eRP); Mobile Home Ordinances; Joint
City-County Planning Cornmission;Protec-
lion of the Flood Control System; Modular
Horne policy; Annexation; Delinquent Tax
problems; Subdivision Regulations; Exist-
ing Land Use; Fire Limits; Lakewood Park
Development; Corridor Study (major en-
trances to the citY); and various federal
programs related to Highway Safety, De.
molition, Concentrated Code Enforcement
Jnd the Safe Streets Act.

CITY CLERK
The City Clerk's Office is a major artery in the branches of
city government. Inter-office transactions e\lullJe from this
point. The responsibilities of the City Clerk and Director of
Finance are vested in one individual. He is responsible for the
preparation and custody of all official city records. Work in-
cludes the preparation and maintenance of commission agendas
and minutes, records of ordinances, bonds and other official
city actions. Scope of the work is determined to a large extent
by stelle statutes. The office supervises the recording of special
assessments, distribution of charges and transmittal to county
authorities, issues licenses and collects license fees, registers
voters and records all births and deaths occurring within
Saline County.
The City Treasurer is responsible for the collection, custody
and disbursement of city funds i:lnd for maintaining accurate
records of these funds. He serves as custodian of all money
and valuables deposited in the city treasury and acts as munici-
pal disbursing officer and signs all city checks.
The City Treasurer also serves as Director of Personnel and
Purchasing Agent. The Director maintains all personnel records,
checks time sheets and prepares payroll vouchers, prepares
insurance, retirement and other reports in connection with the
City's personnel. He directs and particip,nes in recruitment,
position classification and interprets the personnel program to
departmental officials. employees and the general public.
The Purchasing Agent supervises and participates in the pur-
chasing activities of the city. He interviews vendors, supervises
all purchases, maintains and controls a central storeroom and
coordinates and consolidates the needs of departments.
ENGINEERING
The engineering staff is responsible for the design,
specifications, inspection and construction of all work
performed on public property, streets, alleys and ease-
ments. These improvements include pavement, water,
sewer, sidewalk, parking lots, public buildings, and
traffic control equipment.
The department conducts many fact finding surveys
for the long range planning of drainage, water and sewer
systems, water and sewage treatment, and outlines
necessary im provements.
Other duties performed by the department are the
drawing and up.dating of the official maps, recording
public information regarding storm sewers, water
mains, sanitary sewers, pavements, location and de.
scriptions of all public and pri\l3te property.
During the year of 1970, the department prepared
plans and specifications and were directly in charge of
the inspection and construction of twenty contracts
having a total value of $340,488.79. These contracts
include the pavement of two streets, the widening of
one other street, installation of two water mCl;n

FLOOD CONTROL
The flood of 1951 affected about 50% of the residential area. More
than 3,000 residences, 122 commercial firms, 2 schools, and 3 churches
were inundated and approximately 13,500 persons were eV'lcuated. In
the previous 50 years Salina had been subject to some 40 to 50 periods
of high water. inCluding 6 major floods.
The flood protection works, many years in the planning and com-
pleted in j961 is designed to protect the city from twice ttl€ quantity of
flood water which occurred during 1951.
It was built by the Corps of Engineers at a cost of over 6 million
dollars, approximately 2.3 million in local funds and the bal;:mce federal.
The system included 17.1 miles of levee, 12.2 miles of channel change,
replacement of 12 bridges, and thousands of acres of land involved in
rights-of.way and easements.
Those of us who do not recall the 1951 or earlier floods might not
appreciate the value of the project. That 6 million dollars and the 20
thousand or so we spend for maintenance each year has brought relief to
thousands of property owners and residents of our city. It has enhanced
property values and made it both feasible and profitable to develop many
acres of land which previously were in constant threat of flooding.
JANUAR~
STREETS
In addition to street, bridge and alley
maintenance the department performs a
variety ot services including: leaf pickup;
cleaning 69 miles of storm sewers; mos-
quito fogging; weed mowing; limb hauling
after wind and snow storms; installation of
traffic signals; salting of intersections,
bridges and hills; snow removal.
Since the Street Department has the
bulk of the heavy equipment, trucks and
labor force, it provides a lot of assistance
to other departments.
Salina's 195 miles of paved streets
demand a lot of attention. As an example,
the sweepers, swept 14,923 curb miles and
picked up 8,222 cubic yards of dirt and
trash.

In an effort to make our streets safe for both

requires the full time work of three men and an
average annual expenditure of i1bout 540,000.00.
Painted curbs and lanes have to frequently be re-

PARKS
The Park Department is responsihle for the maintenance of turf, trees,
shrubs and most recreational buildings of all Salina park areas, median
strips, street triangles and city-owned parking lots. The department grows
annual flowers each spring for formal flower beds in parks, and other city
property.
Recreational facilities maintained by the Park Department include two
swimming pools, a baseball stadium, two small neighborhood parks, lighted
tennis, handball, shuffleboard, roquet, croquet courts and ping pong tables.
Picnic areas have shelterhouses and free-use gas hotplates. The former
municipal pool serves as a first class ice rink during cold weather. Lakewood
Park features a lake for rowing and fishing and a lurge, ranch style house for
formal parties and get-togethers. Overnight camping is allowed in Thomas
Park.
Additions to the park system in 1970 included 2 small neighborhood
parks, sites of the former Phillips and South Park Elementary Schools and
3.63 acres to Centennial PClrk. These additions increased the numher of parks
in the city to 22, totaling 590.53 acres.
Vandalisrn to park equipment and facilities became increasingly severe in
1970, resulting in mClny hundreds of dollars in needless waste of manpower
and material.

GOLF COURSE
The opening of the Municipal Golf Course in August was a major addition
to our recreational facilities. The 18 hole, 6225 yard, par 70 course is interest-
ing and challenging yet not 50 difficult as to discourage the novice. Located
on the old airport property on E. Crawford. the course is already recognized
as one of the best in this part of the country. Several tournaments have
already been scheduled for 1971. The course will attract golfers from through-
out Kansas and neighboring states.
