AREA CODE II! 123.1271
It is a pleasure to present the City of Salina's 1973
Annual Report. The report includes the Conununity Calendar,
Directory of Services and a list of the boards and conunissions
for your future reference. It is our desire to help you be
better informed about your municipal government and the
services it provides, as well as to make you aware of events
scheduled throughout the coming year.
This year we salute the new Salina Conununity Theatre.
We are proud to recognize it as a culmination of cooperative
efforts on the part of many citizens.
NEW HOME FOR COMMUNITY THEATRE
Much of Salina's growth and progress could not have been
possible without the support and assistance of the many persons
who have so generously contributed their time and skills. We
hereby extend our official thanks to the citizens who have
served the conununity on boards, conunissions and conunittees.
We further thank the many citizens who have shown their concern
for good government by keeping us advised on community problems,
as well as the conununity's feelings on current issues.
Salinans can well be proud of their Community Theatre's new home - 303 East Iron -
the culmination of a unique cooperative effort between the City and the Community
Theatre organization. A 1970 agreement obligated the tbeatre association to construct
the building, after which the city would accept title, operate and maintain it. The city
accepted ownership in July. A contract for the final phase of landscaping has been
authorized by the City Commission. These improvements will include planting of grass,
shrubs, trees, evergreens, and installation of parking lots and driveways at the theatre site.
While we are proud of many past accomplishments, we rea-
lize that there are still many concerns that need attention
and will require the utmost in skill, imagination and
dedication. I know I speak for the Commission s and adminis-
trative staff in soliciting your continued su ort in the
coming year.

The Salina Cultural Arts Commission office is located in the theatre building and serves
as a clearinghouse for scheduling and arranging cultural events in Salina, stimulates and
coordinates existing programs and implements new programs. The Community Theatre
is available on a reservation basis for public use by contacting the Cultural Arts Office,

With the state imposed Tax-Lid Law and a spiraling inflation, Kansas municipalities were finding it
increasingly difficult to finance their operations. Revenue Sharing has provided some relief,
particularly in the areas of public safety, environmental protection, public transportation, health,
recreation, libraries and social services. We are very reluctant to rely on these funds for on-going
expenses', such as salaries, since they have only been approved on a five year basis.
Salina's share in 1973 amounted to $537,527. Some of the major allocations went for: electronic
data processing equipment; street and park maintenance equipment; slWry seal for streets; fire and
police safety equipment; school crossing equipment; landfill site and equipment; library; vector
control; and' services including Passport to Adventure and Salina Day Care Center. .

The obligation to strive for and maintain an equitable balance between what the public pays for
municipal services and what the public employee receives for providing those services.
A revised jOb classification and salary schedule for municipal employees was implemented January 1,
1973, following a professional consultant's study of salaries and fringe benefits paid by other
municipalities, private business and other local governmental agencies.
The intent of having such a plan developed by an unbiased, professional consultant is to provide
employees with fair and just compensation, while assuring the public they are not being over charged
for services rendered. The first such study utilized by Salina was prepared in 1967 by the League of
Kansas Municipalities and implemented in 1968. From 1968 thru 1973, six cost of living adjustments
totaling 22.4% were applied to the schedule in an effort to maintain the effectiveness of municipal
employees' salaries. In addition, City Commissioners in 1969 granted a one step across the board
increase and an additional 2% in 1970. The 1974 budget, prepared in 1973, included a 4.7% cost of
living increase as reported by the Department of Labor-Consumer Price Index.
I n response to a request by various departments for improved health insurance coverage, a committee
of employees was formed to represent their respective departments. The committee worked with the
Director of Personnel, the Deputy City Manager and insurance representatives in drafting specifications
for group health and life insurance. As a result of this cooperative effort, the employees and their
dependents gained improved coverage and - at a lower rate for their contribution. The city's contri-
bution for total coverage of the employee was increased $3.18 per month over the previous plan.
Optional dependent coverage paid by the employee was reduced $2.22 per month. The plan covers
all employees except the F ire Department since they are covered by a separate plan.
Another illustration of accomplishment thru working together involved the refuse collection service.
The Sanitation Department had been experiencing difficulties in getting their routes covered during
summer months. Hiring and retention of help for the department was a continual struggle. Members
of the department and administrators met to share concerns and to assist each other in finding
solutions to the problems. Together it was determined that changes were needed to expedite the
collection process. The changes were subsequently approved by the City Commission in the form of a
city ordinance.
Cooperative efforts such as these are to the advantage of all concerned. They enhance employee-
employer relationships and the public gains as a result of a smooth running organization.

City Manager, Norris Olson (center), assisted by Director of Finance and City Clerk, Don
Harrison (right), and Deputy City Manager, B ill Harris (teft), review departmental budget
requests in the process of compiling the total budget that will subsequently be submitted to
the City Commission.
MANAGING YOUR CORPORATION
Operating a municipal corporation is big business. Commitment and expertise is required
in a number of fields. No one individual can be skilled or totally knowledgeable in the many
technical and varied aspects of running a city and providing the services required by its
inhabitants. Therefore, your municipal organization is divided into 18 specialized depart-
ments of varying sizes, ranging from 2 or 3 people to more than 70.
Administrative responsibilities begin with the City Manager and extend through department
heads, assistants, superintendents, to include the first line supervisors, regardless of whether
they carry the title of lieutenant, sergeant or foreman. I n order to efficiently operate an
organization of more than 340 personnel responsible for a broad range of services, a coordi-
nated team effort is essential.
By law, it is the responsibility of the City Manager to assemble a proposed budget each year
to be considered by the City Commission. He does this with the assistance of his administra-
tive staff. Once the Governing Body has approved a budget, it then becomes the responsibility
of the City Manager to see that it is efficiently and prudently administered. Again, he has to
rely to a great extent upon his department heads and their personnel to see that this
Objective is attained.
Fortunately, Salina is a growing and prospering community. However, each time a home,
store or plant is constructed, each time a new family moves to Salina, the demands on city
facilities and services increases. As a community grows in area or population, the municipal
operation becomes more involved, more complex and places greater demands for proficiency
upon the elected representatives, the appointed officials, and every individual having
administrative responsibilities.

A BETTER SALINA TOMORROW
REQUIRES THE BEST IN PLANNING TODAY
For community growth
City planning is a future-oriented function of city government utilizing such tools as the
Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Regulations, Subdivision Regulations, the Community
Renewal Plan and various other studies.
The Planning Department serves as..the professional staff to the Metropolitan Planning
Commission. This nine member co~mission is comprised of citizens who give freely of I
their time to assist in the orderly growth of Salina, as an advisory board to the City
Commission.
The Metropolitan Planning Commission met 39 times during 1973; 21 regular meetings
and 18 special meetings. A total of 57 petitions for rezoning, annexation, plats, etc. were
considered. One of the most controversial petitions to be considered was for annexation
and rezoning of an area east of Ohio Street, south of the Faith Addition for development
of an auto plaza. A petition which would have permitted construction of doctors' offices
in the same vicinity also generated considerable interest.
Study of Flood Plain Zoning and Salina's participation in the Flood Insurance Program
was undertaken. Both the staff and a private consulting firm devoted considerable time
investigating the merits of the program and advising the Commission on this matter.
Progress was made toward the adoption of a new Land Use Plan to replace the "701"
plan, which is ten years old. A public hearing was held on the S1Uina portion of the new
plan. Future goals include finalization and adoption of the new Land Use Plan, Zoning
Ordinance and Subdivision Regulations.
In order to participate in certain federally funded programs, such as Leased Housing, we
are required to have a "Workable Program". The program sets forth certain community ·
goals and objectives and commitments for their achievement. In 1974, we will submit
our bi-annual application for recertification of our Workable Program, outlining what has
been accomplished and what we expect to accomplish in the areas of codes and code
enforcement, planning and programming, housing and citizen involvement.

For redevelopment
Looking southwest from 5th and Ash Streets, site of the former City Hall. The Fire
Department hose tower of another day awaits demolition crews. Constructed for a
fire engine house in the early 1900's, the building was converted into Police Head-
quarters in 1950.
URBAN RENEWAL ACTIVITIES
Land acquisition for Salina's Central City Project took place during 1973. Twelve
parcels of land were acqu ired. Demolition commenced during the year with schedu led
completion du~ing early 1974. Two HUD grants totaling $1,002,993 have been
received for the Central City Project. The first was $590,000 in 1972, the second and
final was $412,993 in 1973. Of that total, $587,000 was for real"estate purchases;
$75,658 for relocation assistance; $48,000 for demolition of structures; $56,661 for
planning and administration and $235,674 for project improvements in the form of
streets, street lighting, and utilities.
A proposal was received from First National Bank & Trust Company for the entire
land area. The proposal has been approved by the Urban Renewal Agency and the
Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Land disposition in the Northeast Industrial Park continued and replatting of the
entire park commenced.

lPROTECT LIVES AND PROPERTY VALUES
The duties of Salina's four inspectors encompass inspections of residential,
commercial and industrial buildings to assure compliance to all codes and
ordinances regulating plumbing, electrical, general construction work and
minimum housing standards.
Building continued in an upward trend this year, with 49 more permits
issued than in 1972 and the highest number since 1962. A total of 4,118
other permits were issued for gas, plumbing, electrical, fence, sign, demo-
lition and sandblasting work. Nearly 6,900 inspections of various types
were performed.
The latest additions of the Uniform Plumbing and Building Codes were
adopted. The Uniform Mechanical Code was adopted for the first time.
This code requires permits and inspections for installation of new furnaces,
air handling units and central air conditioning units. It is specifically
designed to prevent accidental exposure to gases and fumes, which may
endanger occupants.
An ordinance was passed for the licensing of mobile home craftsmen, who
are authorized to make structural, electrical, plumbing and gas system
repairs to mobile homes.
A significant provision was added to the Minimum Housing Code. A
Housing Advisory iand Appeals Board was established and empowered to
grant waivers to requirements of the code so long as they are not incon-
sistent with the purpose and intent of the code itself which is to - provide
safe, decent and sanitary housing. This provision for flexibility will serve
to make the code more realistic and manageable.
Numerous dilapidated structures such as the
one pictured at right have been ruled unfit
for human occupancy and cleared away under
Salina's Minimum Housing Code. Unfor-
tunately, there are many more presently
occupied which are a detriment to the people
living in them and to surrounding properties.
Efforts to correct these situations are slowed
by public apathy, lack of support for enforce-
ment of the code and problems related to
financing repair or demolition.
POTENTIAL KILLERS
Illegal and careless wiring situations like those f,ictured above and
at right are definite fire and life hazards. E lec rical wires rubbing
against metal siding can wear through the insLlation resulting in
energizing the entire unit. An open terminal box within reach of
chi Idren creates a very dangerous situation for the innocent.

PLANNING AND SUPERVISING PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS
The Engineering Department prepares plans and
specifications for public improvements. Once a con-
tract is awarded, they are responsible for inspections
to see that the materials used and the workmanship
follow those plans and specifications.
Contracts were let for 12 public improvement projects
in 1973 at a cost of $267,824, with property owners
responsible for approximately 45% of the cost and
the city at large 55%.
Construction work which is planned and inspected by
the department includes water and sewer utility
extensions, street paving, sidewalks, storm sewers,
and major maintenance on city-owned facilities. The
department maintains the master maps of the city,
subdivision plats, water distribution, and storm and
sanitary sewer collection systems.
<iJ
Above: Building wall adjacent to a municipal
parking lot gets a face lift.
Left: Monolithic curb and gutter being
poured ahead of street paving in Parkwood
Village.
Right: Pedestrian actuated signals were
installed at six school zone crossings.
During 1973, the department completed a city-wide
inventory of recessed parking and related traffic
problems. They also developed traffic safety controls
for street maintenance and construction. Both of
these studies will receive additional consideration in
1974.
The department is working closely with the Corps of
Engineers in an effort to develop possible alternatives
for improvements to the old Smoky Hill River
Channel. This study is expected to be completed in
1974. The City Engineer is serving on a committee
with the Corps of Engineers in determining the
feasibility of expanding Kanopolis Reservoir in order
to help satisfy future demands for agricu Itural irriga-
tion and rt;lunicipal water demands.
City and County Engineers late in 1973 began a
joint study of the surface water problems which have I
been troubling the Bonnie Ridge Addition, portions
of Key Acres and Belmont Additions, as well as areas
in north Salina. Salina's flood control system has
proven itself numerous times in being able to keep
flood waters outside its dikes and within the cut-off
channel. I nterior problems occur when heavy and
prolonged rain falls inside the system while gates are
closed to force bypassing of high waters on the
Smoky Hill River, Dry Creek and Mulberry Creek.

MISSION: FIRE PREVENTION and SUPPRESSION
GOAL: ZERO FIRES
The Salina Fire Department's miSSion is to
protect citizens from the dangers of fire through
public education and fire prevention programs,
as well as providing efficient service in extinguish-
ing fires, effecting rescue, first aid, evacuation
and salvage operations.
The department's primary objective is fire
prevention. A total of 2,868 inspections and
special services were performed in 1973.
Included in this total were 162 programs pre-
sented to schools, civic groups, hospitals, nursing
homes and businesses.
The department answered 912 calls of all types -
an increase of 156 over 1972; 92 of which
were outside the city limits. It was necessary
to call in off-duty personnel only twice during
the year. Fire loss decreased 49% from the
1972 figure of $304,480.26 to $154,861.66.
Damage to 37 commercial buildings amounted
to $38,132.89; 117 residences totaled
$102,098.77 and 226 vehicular and miscel- I
laneous fires produced losses of $14,630.00.
Fire brought death to one and injured 15 other
persons in Salina during the year.
Fortunately, there were only 12 fires during
1973 that were of a nature or far enough
advanced to require the department to make
hookups to fire hydrants. All but a very small
percentage of fires were reached and extin-
guished while in the incipient stage, by either Fire
Department equipment, police officers using
extinguishers or citizens utilizing various
methods. Police officers provided firefighting
assistance on 477 or 52% of the calls answered
by the department.
A comprehensive study was initiated late in
1973 in order to evaluate the adequacy of our
fire protection service in all areas of the city.
The study will be completed in the forepart of
1974.
The department's inventory of firefighting apparatus was beefed up with the addition of a 100 foot aerial ladder truck and a
1,250 gallon-per-minute pumper. Personnel of the department designed and built a dual purpose firefighting and rescue unit
on a 1968 truck chassis. Total cost for the chassis, materials and equipment was less than $9,000.00. To have purchased a
comparable factory built unit the cost would have been approximately $21,000.00. This vehicle and its two man crew is
assigned to all light to medium emergencies, such as, resuscitator calls, auto accidents and fires, gasoline wash downs and
public service calls.
Burning of dilapidated structures can help
rid the community of dangerous and
blighting situations while providing training
opportunities for the department. Extreme
care must be exercised to protect adjacent
properties.

Diversity describes the duties of today's
police officer. Their skills must encompass
broad areas of crime prevention, appre-
hension of offenders, recovery of stolen
property and traffic enforcement. Effec-
tive police protection requires a con-
tinuous personnel training program and
application of modern and scientific law
enforcement techniques.
The department recognizes the need for
positive communication, not only in terms
of the latest radio equipment, but in
informing citizens that their goal is
PREVENTION, not DETENTION. During
1973, Pol ice Department personnel parti-
cipated in more than 70 lectures, speaking
to approximately 4,250 people.
The communications tree branches even
further. Strong emphasis is placed on
the future of Sa'lina's young people,
evident through the many programs
sponsored by the policemen in their off-
duty hours.
The department sponsors a summer base-
ball league, consistil'Jg of 140 boys, whose
ages range from 10-13 years. The unique-
ness of this league 'is that, while skill is
acknowledged, it is not stressed. Any
receives whole-hearted
Salina merchants.
Other off-duty programs are the Police
Cadet Explorer Post for boys and girls,
ranging from 16-21 years of age, and the
Boxing League, for boys 16 years to
adults. The department also cooperates
with the Big Brother/Sister ~program,
mediating between the young person
needing adult guidance and the Big
Brother/Sister Agency.
The ~partment, in cooperation with the
HighWay Patrol and the school system,
conducts a Bicycle Safety Program. Con-
trols have been tightened on Salina bi-
cyclists in an attempt to decrease bicycle-
related accidents. Offenders below the
age of 16 must now appear with parents
or guardians for a session on bicycle
safety with juvenile officers. Those 16
and older face fines, through the muni-
cipal court, comparable to motor vehicle
violations. The department feels that this
effort has made bicyclists more aware of
stop signs, red lights, riding single file,
one to a bike and giving proper turn
signals.

fire, as well as the rural fire districts. Radar monitoring equipment will also be installed
at the communications center. Through the Kansas Law Enforcement Teletype System
(KLETS) and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI), the department has immediate
access to information on file with the '~ansas Motor Vehicle Bureau and the National
Crime I nformation Center in Washington.
The familiar face and voice to many Salinans belongs to Sgt. Herb Clark, who entertains
and informs schools and civic groups with his ventriloquism program. He is assisted by
his comrade, "SHORTY". Sgt. Clark is also frequently heard providing safety tips as a
public service on time'granted by KI NA, KSAL and Channel 6.

BEAUTY AND RECREATION FOR EVERYONE
Nothing can beat an afternoon in the sand pile with good
friends.
Oakdale Park picnicers will enjoy this new shelter house
which replaced one which had finally succumbed to the
affects of age and exposure.
L
Park improvements this year included a new
sh'elter house in Oakdale Park, which accom-
modates 100 people. Twelve new family-size
shelters were placed in Lakewood Park, along
with timberform grottos, benches, entrance
signs, five drinking fountains and additional
trees. The project was funded utilizing match-
ing funds from the Bureau of Outdoor Recrea-
tion; the City's portion for this phase amounted
to $107,921.00.
An aerial man-lift, which will make it possible
to properly maintain tall trees in Salina parks
was purchased. An irrigation system for the
formal gardens and quiet area of Oakdale Park
was installed.
Citizen volunteer projects continue to enhance
Sal ina's park system. The Daughters of American
Revolution's Historical Committee provided a
bronze plaque commemorating the last Salina
area I ndian battle. The plaque was placed at
Chief's Rock in Indian Rock Park. Park
personnel erected a chain link fence around the
rock and plaque to deter vandalism and set
off the historical marker.
Boy Scouts working for their Eagle awards
painted the five family-size shelters in Oakdale
and Sunset Parks this fall. Boy Scouts also
painted ten picnic tables, twenty park benches
and cleaned and painted the Oakdale gazebo.
77 ornamental trees, costing $600.00, were
purchased with proceeds from Kansas Wesleyan's
paper recycling project and were donated to the
city for planting in the median strip along
Belmont Boulevard. Students from Wesleyan
and Marymount, along with Girl Scouts, Boy
Scouts, members of the Willing Workers 4H
Club, the Environmental Consumers Organiza-
tion, Army Reservists and others assisted in
planting the trees.
Kansas Wesleyan's Circle K Club continued
their efforts for the third consecutive year to
help improve Indian Rock Park. However, they
experienced considerable difficulty in raising
funds for the work they had slated for 1973.
The beauty of December's ice storm was short lived, and
many of our trees suffered severe and permanent damage.
Salina's twenty parks offer a variety of areas for just plain
relaxing. A favorite quiet spot for Sunset Park visitors is
the beautiful lily pond.

Street crews load one of hundreds of truck loads of limbs
picked up city-wide following the December ice storm.
The self-unloading type street sweeper below acquired in 1973,
saves dumping the load of dirt and debris on the street to later
be loaded onto a truck by another piece of equipment.
Weather determines when and what type of
work will be performed by most of the service
departments. With the exception of the
Sanitation Department, the nature of their work
varies according to the seasons.
Snow, ice and heavy rains frequently require
street and flood control crews to operate
around the clock. Equipment takes a lot of
punishment during those times and throws a
heavy work load on Central Garage mechanics.
High winds and ice are nature's way of pruning
trees, but in the process more work is created
for street, sanitation, park and waste disposal
crews. Extreme fluctuations in temperatures,
along with moisture penetration, see to it that
there are always streets in need of repair.
With our weather being so predictably unpredic-
table, knowing how to budget a year and more
in advance for supplies, overtime, wages, etc.,
presents an interesting challenge. For the
personnel in the service departments, handling
emergency situations under difficu It conditions
is quite routine.
When on October 10th, 5.35 inches of rain fell
within 24 hours on already saturated ground,
some difficulties were experienced due to water
trapped inside the dike. Had it not been for
the flood control system, the problems would
have been drastically compounded. The system
itself suffered extensive damage due to erosion.
Those repairs and removal of debris deposited
by high waters will be costly and time con-
suming. An application for federal disaster
funds was promptly submitted.
PAPER RECYCLING CENTER
In July, the city was urged by the Environmental
Consumers Organization (ECO) to collect and bale
newsprint and cardboard for recycling.
After extensive study of possible alternatives, it was
decided that the city woulrf not collect paper, but
would make available a receiving point where salvaged
newsprint and cardboard can be sold. The receiving
center is planned for opening early in May in the
former KP&L generator building at 401 North Third.

FEE SUPPORTED LANDFILL WATER PLANT TO BE ,
SERVES SALINE COUNTY IMPROVED AND EXPANDED
Saline County contracted with a private consulting 'firm to do a study and make
recommendations for the collection and disposal of solid waste throughout the county.
State law has required counties to develop such a plan and have it implemented by 1976.
,
Salina had utilized all availabe space near the sewage treatment plant northeast of the city
and was forced to relocate the landfill operation.
One location suggested by the County's consultant was a section of ground owned by the
Airport Authority at the old Camp Phillips site, southwest of Salina on Burma Road. The
city purchased the 640 acres for $120,000.00 and will continue to lease that portion not
immediately needed for the landfill for pasture and farming.
The landfill was opened October 15, 1973 for the benefit of all Saline County residents
and will be operated on revenue derived from a gate fee.
Above: National Guard personnel and equipment help excavate
landfill pit as a community service project in their training program.
The oscillating compactor pictured below saves time and landfill
space. Faster, more maneuverable, and applying more weight per
square inch than track type compactors, the mac'hine has proven
to be a good investment. Its operators compact and bury
hundreds of tons of refuse each day.
i
The City Commission authorized consulting engineers to prepare applications for
grants from the Federal Environmental Protection Agency for expansion of the
water treatment plant's capacity and for equipment to reclaim treatment wastes
now being discharged into the river. The project will increase the plant's daily
capacity from 18 to 20 milliongallons per day. The improvements will meet federal
anti-water pollution standards and be able to serve water demands for a population
of 50,000. Peak consumption in 1973 was reached in July at 15.1 million gallons
during one day. Water rate increases implemented at the first of 1973 were required
in order to help finance these and other improvements needed in the distribution
system. Cost is estimated at $1 million, to be financed jointly by EPA grants and
water revenue.
During 1973, 70% of our water came from the Smoky Hill River, with the remainder
supplied by 15 wells. Well water is used primarily to temper the river water and at
times when river water is not available due to freezing. Operation of the wells and
treatment of well water is considerably more expensive than processing river
water. Chemicals alone used in purification and softening of water in 1973 cost
nearly $125,000.00 and totaled over'4,340 tons.
The business office is currently experiencing a transition in the conversion to
computer. This system will be used for billing the department's 13,500 accounts,
maintaining the accounts receivable and the storage of data relevant to water and
sewerage operations.
Visitors are encouraged to schedule tours of both the water and sewage treatment
facilities.

HEALTH DEPARTMENT
The department was authorized to step up
efforts to control mosquitoes and rats. The
Health Officer stated that Salina had avoided
an encephalitis epidemic during 1972 by the
skin of our teeth. The price tag for this
expanded county-wide service was estimated
to run $37,358 for the first year, and second
year costs of approximately $25,000. Ap-
parently the increased efforts paid off im-
mediately in that no signs of the mosquito
borne encephalitis was detected in the Salina
area during 1973.
The department provides programs and services directed towards preventive health care
for the benefit of all Saline County residents. Listed below are the services presently
offered through the department:
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH
Nuisance Complaint Investigation
Water Supply Testing Consultation
Sewerage Disposal Consu Itation
Mosquito Control* (Expanded)
Rodent Control
Food Establishment Inspection
Food Service Employee's Training Course
PERSONAL HEALTH
Home Care Program
School Health Program
Venereal Disease Clinic
Well Child Clinic*
Pregnancy Testing*
Pap Smear Clinic*
Family Planning Clinic
Immunization Clinic
Communicable Disease
Day Care Applications*
Various special programs were conducted throughout the year. Two Tetanus Clinics were
held at the 4-H Building which were open to the public. I mmunization clinics were
conducted at two elementary schools for the purpose of updating and completing the
students records. A local industry was assisted in implementing an industrial health
program, including mass TB screeniRg.
* Five programs were initiated and one was expanded in 1973.
Plans were made for establishing a Sickle Cell Screening
Program to begin early in 1974.
Salina experienced a narrow brush with the September 26,1973 tornado
which demolished the Sundowner East, a mobile home park southeast of
the city. The tornado did millions of dollars in damage to North Central
Kansas. The agency, local radio stations and area law enforcement
agencies were lauded by the National Weather Bureau for an exemplary
job in warning the public of the advancing tornado.
The City-County Defense Civil Preparedness Agency, located in the Police
Administration Building, provides services for coping with disaster. The
agency's function has been modified since its nuclear-oriented inception.
It now, in addition to concentrating on nuclear disaster, focuses on
natural disasters, such as tornados and floods. Agency goals are early
detection, prompt citizen notification and utilization of locally available
manpower, equipment, and medical resources. To accomplish these
goals requires a fine-tuned communications network on the local, state
and federal level.
Emergency operations simulations are conducted at the local level. These
exercises involve local officials in realistic disaster situations, aimed at
giving them a greater understanding of the need for workable emergency
plans.
Plans are underway for the installation of a radar system, to be placed on
the roof of the Police Administration Building. This system will be
monitored from the central communications center at the Police Depart-
ment and will scan weather and aircraft over a 200 mile range
