Many changes are taking place, both in the physical or material aspect and in humanistic character. These changes result in the public administrator being continually confronted with new challenges and problems. 'The ever accelerating rate of change in our society stimulates needs, demands, and expectations from many diverse directions. It is becoming a luxury for decision makers to have ti me to plan for the futu re; to act rather than react. Our computers, communication systems and other forms of technological advances seem to have Jekyll and Hyde personalities. On the one hand they are our friend, helping us do our work more efficiently and much faster. On the other hand, they appear to be our adversary. They are the cause or playa definite role in us being confronted with so many more problems at a breath taking pace. The City Manager, Mr. Norris Olson, being the Chief Administrative Officer for the City, is required to direct a great deal of his attention, time and energy toward matters involving finances. The needs and desires of a community always out distance available resources. Developing a realistic and responsible operating budget each year for the City Commission is, in itself, an extremely difficult assignment; but, that is only the beginning. Administering the budget once adopted, advising the Governing Body on fiscal matters, trying to get the most mileage out of each dollar while striving for good relations with the entire community is closely related to walking a tight rope. Efforts to sell the remaining land and close out the Northeast Industrial Park Urban Renewal Project have had a significant impact on the workload of the Manager's office, other members of the staff and the Governing Body. With the transition from federal catergorical grant programs, such as Urban Renewal, to the Community Development Block Grant Program, the City Commission took over the responsibilities of the Urban Renewal Agency. Close out of the Industrial Park Project is expected to be completed by mid 1977. a One significant addition was made this year in staffing the City Manager's Office. The appointment of an Administrative Assistant for Human Resource Development is another example of local government becoming more involved, more responsive to social needs and problems. We continue to be responsible for providing the conventional municipal services; but, more and more, for a variety of reasons, administrators and elected officials at the local level are becoming keenly aware - - It's a new ball game. We are getting the message loud and clear that we are going to be playing a continually expending role in the social, economic and environmental aspects of community development and/or redevelopment. The Assistant for Human Resource Development, Carmen Chirveno, serves in a liaison and advisory capacity to the City Manager and Governing Body. She works with numerous public and quasi-public agencies, special interest groups and individuals on a wide range of matters related to human needs and the quality of life. II a a II I II o .

Work progresses on installing storm win- dows in the City's Housing Winteriza- tion Program, utilizing Community Develop- ment Funds. The Planning Department has the primary responsibility of implementing orderly development of the City through the utilization of three important tools - the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Regulations, and Subdivision Regulations. In addition to monitoring and administering these regulations, one of the most important functions of the department is serving as the professional staff to the Salina City Planning Commission. These duties include providing research, technical assistance and advice on planning matters, and record keeping. The City Planning Commission met 35 times last year to consider a total of 66 petitions for rezoning, plats, annexations and miscellaneous requests. The greatest effort this past year was put in on revising Salina's Zoning Ordinance. The Ordinance encompasses a broad range of areas including new districts, flood plain regulations, mobile home park regulations and a new section on signs. This Ordinance was completely reworked from the one submitted to the City Commission last-year. December 13,1976 brought final approval of the new ordinance by the City Commission. The Planning Commission has spent well over fouryears preparing this new ordinance and it is hoped that its many benefits will make themselves readily apparent through more orderly development of the City. Approval of the Zoning Ordinance also necessitated review of the fee schedule for applications and permits. It was determined that, in some cases, the fees being paid by developers were only covering approximately 15% to 25% of the costs being incurred to process them. Therefore, a new fee schedule was adopted in December, 1976. The area comprising the most significatnt changes in workload and staff has been in Community Development. The Department works closely with the Citizens' Advisory Committee (CAC) and its various subcommittees, especially in the preparation of Salina's Community Development applications. To date, the first three CD applications mean over 2 million dollars to the City. Housing continues to playa major role in Salina's CD programs, as over 52% of all of our CD dollars are earmarked for this category. Another 35% is programmed for improvements to parks and neighborhood centers. Increased involvement in housing has led the Department to the first staff increase in many years as we implement a Housing Conservation Program and a Housing Winterization Program. The Conservation Program consists of low-interest loans or grants to qualified homeowners to completely rehabilitate a home. It is presently estimated that 75 to 100 homes will be rehabilitated under this new program. During the last week of 1976, the City Commission authorized the expenditure of $50,000 for the establishment of a Winterization Program and it is estimated that 100 homes will be insulated and winterized under this program. 1977 should bring continuation of both the Conservation and Winterization Programs as well as beginning of construction on at least one new neighborhood center, completion of work on the Leisure Years Center, relocation of some baseball diamonds into Lower Indian Rock Park, and preparation of the 4th-year CD application. I ~uman ~elatinn5 During 1976, a comprehensive reVISion of the city's ordinance concerning "Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action" was passed by the City Commission. The revised ordinance prohibits discrimination of race, sex, religion, age, color, national origin, ancestry, physical handicap or marital status in employment, housing, public accommodations and public contracts. The ordinance also more clearly defines the respective roles of the Human Relations Department and the Human Relations Commission. The Human Relations Director, appointed by and responsible to the City Manager, is charged with the administration of the ordinance. The director receives complaints, conducts investigations and endeavors to conciliate the matter between the complainant and the respondent. The Human Relations Commission, a nine member board appointed by the City Commission, serves in an advisory capacity to the City Commission. They also serve as an appeal board in those cases which the director is unable to conciliate. There were 72 cases claiming discrimination processed by the department during 1976; 61 in the area of Employment; 6-- Housing; 2- I Public Accommodations; and 3 - Miscellaneous. . The only purpose or intent of such civil rights laws and ordinances is to see that every person gets.a fair shake at enjoying the privileges and opportunities which will help and encourage them to be productive participants in .our society. Then and only then can they be expected to shoulder their share of the responsibilities of helping makeourgreat nation a model for the rest of the world. How terribly unfortunate for all of us that this "Ideal" cannot be accomplished simply by each of us treating the other person as we want to be treated. But, then if that were the case, we would scarcely know the meaning of the word "laws". '!'-. ~ ~. --. Wu1ll 1977 'muesbUll .ebttesball ,,'. ~itttball Jmtllttball 'm4ursba\! JIf riba\! ~nturba\!

Twenty-one improvement projects were constructed during 1976, at a total cost of $1,584,750.67. These improvements included projects for water distribution system, sewer collection system, street construction and maintenance, park facilities, Juvenile Detention facilities and the Downtown Beautification Project. The Downtown Beautification Project was authorized through the Urban Renewal Agency and was partially funded with a $200,000.00 federal grant. The remainder of the $540,000.00 project was financed by a direct assessment against the properties adjacent to the streets that were improved. There were no general City tax funds used for this project. Two major projects being planned for 1977 will be the reconstruction of a portion of Crawford Avenue to arterial street standards and extensive improvements to the water distribution system. Downtown Salina gets a facelift. Earlier work included renovation of the underground utilities - the final phase included planters, redwood benches, brick sidewalks and intersection improvements. -: 'W- ~ . III Your City Codes and Ordinances protect YOU from hazards such as this. The Building Inspection Department requires a permit and inspection for every building, electrical and plumbing job - and also that the craftsmen performing these services be licensed. ~uil~ing ~n5pc.ction 1976 - A RECORD YEAR FOR CONSTRUCTION CONSTRUCTION WAS UP 48% - TOTALING $23,868,293.26, AS COMPARED TO $16,164,386.95 IN 1975. The Building Inspection Department monitors new building construction and additions to existing structures for compliance with the City's building, minimum housing, electrical and plumbing codes. Permits are required for many types of improvements, including work done by individual property owners. The administration of Salina's Zoning Ordinance is also an important function of the department. The intent of the codes, permits and inspections is to protect the health, safety and welfare of Salina residents and to help maintain property values.

Salinans can well be proud of our parks, as a wide range of equipment and facilities are available for all ages to enjoy. Picnic facilities include shelter houses, tables and free gas hot plates. Lighted shuffleboard, croquet and horseshoe courts, ping-pong tables, tennis courts and ball diamonds are some of the major attractions. Youngsters particularly enjoy the safe, colorful playground equipment. One of the projects undertaken in 1976to improve our park system was to reshape the east shoreline of Lakewood Park to correct a water seepage problem. This improvement also makes additional shoreline accessible to fishermen and joggers, or for a quiet stroll by the waters edge. During the early part of 1976 a new water supply for irrigating the greens and fairways at the MunicipalGolf Course was put into service. Two wells, located just south of Crawford Street at the Smoky Hill River, furnish the water which is pumped through a new 8" plastic pipe.to the golf course. The use of untreated water from these wells is considerably less expensive than using treated water. Golfing continues to be a favorite outdoor pastime as evidenced by the fact that over 20,158 golfers played the greens during 1976. A total of 110 trees were donated for our park system by the Downtown Merchants and McDonalds. It is efforts such as these that continue to enhance the beauty of our parks and make them enjoyable for future generations. III II .

The Central Garage must maintain over 400 pieces of equipment to perform at mother nature's whim, whether it be for leaf pick-up or snow removal. The Sanitation Department has six crews who collect refuse weekly from 9,700 homes, at a cost of $3.00 per month. A shuttle truck system was implemented which allows crews to continue their daily route without interruption for landfill trips. The Department collected a total of 48,898 cubic yards of refuse in 1976. The Sanitation Department also operates a special truck for picking up large items such as tree limbs, furniture and appliances from residences subscribing to the service. To utilize this service, call the Sanitation Department, 827-7131. A crew of four men are employed to install and maintain a multitude of traffic control devices, such as signs, signals and street markings. To be effective, a traffic control device should meet five basic requirements: fulfill a need; command attention; convey a clear and simple meaning; command respect and give adequate time for proper response. These devices are placed on or adjacent to a street or highway by authority of a public body or official having jurisdiction to regulate, warn or guide traffic. Concern for our environment and conservation of our natural resources led to the opening of our Paper Recycling Center at 401 N. 3rd St. in June of 1974. The department is attempting to acquire a surplus government truck to make available to schools and organizations interested in conducting paper drives. The truck will be parked at a specified location where the paper can be taken and loaded onto the truck for transporting to the Recycling Center. The schools or organizations sponsoring the drive will be paid the current price for the paper. The emphasis on home insulation has created a sudden surge in the demand for newspaper which is used in manufacturing insulation material. DON'T WASTE THIS VALUABLE RESOURCE - SAVE NEWSPAPERS AND SEE THAT THEY GET TO THE CENTER FOR RECYCLING. Blowing paper and plastic was a big problem at the new landfill until the Street Department installed 5,000 feet of 10 foot high chain link fence on the east and south sides of the landfill. This project took 652 manhours, at a cost of $13,518 for materials and labor. -.., ~ New traffic lights were installed at the intersection of South and Broadway. Changes in traffic volume and patterns are periodically assessed by Traffic Engineering and often result in the installation of new signals throughout the City. Tall grasses and weeds are a safety hazard, both in terms of health and driver visibility. Street Department personnel now neglected lots after Health Department notices go unheeded. Costs are then assessed back to the property owner. <IDrtohcr 1977 ~unba~ ~onba~ 'Ql:ueEiba~ ~ebneEiba~ 'Ql:qurEiba~ Jlfriba~ ~aturba~ All meetings begin at 4:00 p.m. unless 1 otherwise specified.

An adequate water supply is essential for good fire protection service; but, with the appearance of every new fire hydrant, additional demands are placed on the water system Maintenance of the plants, water distribution system and sewage collection system is a costly factor for the utility. As an example, there were 37 breaks in 1976 on water mains ranging in size from 3" to 24". Repair of the damaged 20" force sewer main pictured at right cost $2,800.00. III The utility serviced an average of 14,588 accounts per month. Well over 13,000 service orders, such as turn on, turn off, and checks for leaks were processed during 1976. a During 1976, plans and specifications were completed for the construction of a waste disposal facility for the water treatment plant. The project will eliminate the discharge of waste lime and river silt back into the channel. Even though 80% to 90% of the material presently returned to the river channel is silt that was settled out of the river water treated for consumption, Environmental Protection Agency regulations now prohibit the return of this silt to the channel. The amount of lime presently discharged is only about 10% of that used in the treatment process as the remaining 90% is reclaimed through the City's recalcining plant and reused. The method of disposal will be to pump all solids through a force main to an area adjacent to the main sewage treatment plant northeast of the City for storage and drying in earthen dikes. This project is expected to be completed in 1977 and will be financed on a 75% Federal- 25% City basis. Total cost is expected to be approximately 1.2 million dollars. Due to steady growth of the City, the water distribution system has developed by extending mains to the new areas without the addition of any large size arterial mains. This has resulted in low pressures on all sides of the City during peak use periods. It is now essential that the utility spend approximately 2% million dollars to construct the needed arterial mains and to add one elevated tower in the north part of the city. These projects will be a great help to the City in delivering water in sufficient quantities and at adequate pressures to fight fires and supply all domestic needs. These improvements should also help alleviate the problem of riled water being experienced in some areas, due to excessive demands in relation to the capacity of the mains. These projects will require the issuance of approximately 3 million dollars in bonds which will be repaid by revenue derived from water and sewer use fees. A 40% rate increase will be necessary to finance the improvements and to keep up with increasing operating costs. This will be the first increase in sewer use rates since they were initiated in 1962. Water rates were increased slightly in 1973, for the first time since 1959. Salinans will continue to use water at rates very favorably compared to other cities throughout the state. D . o II III a II a II ] II a Well over 2 billion, 400 million gallons of water were pumped by the treatment plant during the year. The daily demand ranged from 3.6 million gallons in January to 13.9 million gallons in July. Nearly 60% of the water processed came from the Smoky Hill River and the remainder from 15 wells. Several different chemicals are required in the process of softening and'purifying the water. A total of 5,432 tons of chemicals were purchased at a cost of $204,576.00. The two sewer treatment plants treated in excess of 2 billion, 115 million gallons of sewage. The water is actually cleaner when we return it to the stream than when we pump it from the channel to begin treatment for publiC use. The plant operations are monitored by both the EPA and State Department of Health and Environment.

I I 1976 was a year of change within the Salina Police Department. Its jail facilities were renovated by the construction of a Joint City-County Booking Facility and Juvenile Detention Areas. This was accomplished by utilizing existing areas and adding bunks, tables, chairs, showers and restrooms to accommodate juveniles. The two areas will house 6 juvenile girls and 10 juvenile boys. This was a much needed move, as the juveniles will now be separated from the adult offenders. The Joint Booking Facility, incorporates a security garage, office space and a closed circuit T.V. system which monitors the entire jail facility. Cameras are located throughout the County jails, the juvenile detention areas and maximum security cells. The T. V. screens forthe men's facilities are monitored by the booking officer. The Sheriff's matron monitors the women's areas. This monitoring system will provide, in addition to better security, prisoner safety through constant surveillance. The costs for the Joint Facility were shared by the City and County Governments. The County's portion was $100,000; the City's share was $100,000, with approximately $44,221 of this taken from 1976 Revenue Sharing Funds and the rest from bond money remaining from the construction of the police building. Communication is the key to effective police protection. The hub of police communications is the Emergency Operations Center (EOC), located at police headquarters. This area houses the state-wide communications network which enables the department to communicate with the FBI in Washington and all other states connected to the system. The EOC is manned 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, by the police dispatcher, who also monitors radio frequencies of the Sheriff's Department, Highway Patrol, City Government, Kansas Power and Light, and the Civil Preparedness radar system. The EOC also dispatches for the Saline County Ambulance Service, the Salina Fire Department and handles all "911" emergency calls. Because uninterrupted communication is essential, an auxiliary power system is on standby, with a back-up communications center located in a protected area of the basement. Public awareness and participation is the key to better law enforcement. The CB-Police Interaction Program was initiated in 1976. The CB "Channel 9" is now monitored 24 hours a day by the dispatcher. CB operators are invited and encouraged to report accidents, fires, suspicious activities, etc. Alerts are also broadcast from the police station to CB operators. This program has proven to be very successful. Cooperation on the part of CB'ers has been splendid. The second program initiated this year is the Police Alert Program. With the combined efforts of the Salina news media, the dispatcher can broadcast live over radio stations, Cable T.V. and Musak stations throughout Salina with bulletins on robberies, stolen vehicles, lost children, etc. . a a-a a n a n . Police officers frisk a prisoner at the new joint City-County booking facility. Closed channel TV screens in the backgound monitor confinement areas. Public safety frequently depends on the speec and accuracy of our police dispatchers. The dispatchers are located in the Emergency Operations Center at police headquarters.

I The Salina Fire Department responded to 961 alarms during the year of 1976. There were 114 dwelling fires at an estimated loss of $158,433; 31 commercial building fires at $249,564; 253 fires not in buildings at $15,115 and 563 non-fire incidents. This is a record number of alarms ever answered by the department during anyone year and an increase of 99 alarms over the previous year. Property loss for the year amounted to $423,112.73. This is also an all-time high and an increase of $16,217.740ver 1975. During 1976, there was no loss of life attributed to fire related causes. There were, however, 24 fire related injuries. ~ The City of Salina has adopted the 1976 Edition of the Uniform Building Code in its entirety. This Code provides that all new dwelling units of every type construction shall be equipped with an approved type of smoke detector. The Kansas State Fire Marshall's Office also requires smoke detectors be provided for all dormitories. THE SALINA FIRE DEPARTMENT ADVOCATES THE INSTALLATION OF SMOKE DETECTORS IN ALL RESIDENCES. THIS WILL REDUCE FIRE RELATED INJURIES, DEATH, AND PROPERTY LOSS. Due to the energy crisis, many auxiliary heating units have been installed in Salina homes. The improper installation of these heating units have been responsible for several residential fires in the City.

III Members of the Salina Fire Department restored our 1928 Ahrens-Fox Pumper for the Bicentennial. This apparatus pumps 1,000 gallons of water per minute, equal to many of to day's modern units. However, the pumper could not safely be used today, due to the age of some of its irreplaceable antique parts. The Hurst Tool (Jaws of Life) was placed in service during 1976 and has been used approximately 10 times in rescue efforts since then. This device, only two feet long and weighing 50 Ibs., can exert 10,000 Ibs. of pressure at its tip. Used primarily in automobile rescue, it can also be used in any forceable entry situation to pry, pull, cut and lift heavy metal. The jaws can lift an automobile three feet off the ground. These super scissors have saved many lives in emergency situations where time is a critical factor, and are well worth their $5,000 price. Firefighters maintain a state of readiness by practicing extrication techniques on salvaged vehicles. II .. I ~un~nl! ~un~nl! '(fiues~nl! .e~nes~nl! '(fi4urs~nl!

The Salina-Saline County Emergency Preparedness Department's goals are early detection and prompt notification in time of nuclear attack, natural disaster, or man-made disaster. Communication remains the key to saving lives. Communications networks are established on the federal, state, and local level. Severe Weather Seminars and Hazardous Materials Seminars are sponsored by the local agency to increase the effectiveness of the warning network. This year the department acquired the Concordia Weather Service radar, which will replace the Air Force radar. Again, this unit will be housed atop the Police Department and monitored from the Central Communication Center. New siren systems are being installed to replace the old "Altec Systems". The Thunderbolt systems have a range of 4800 feet, and they revolve to give better warning. New systems are presently installed at Coronado School, Sunset School, Kennedy School, and Meadowlark School. Two systems will be installed during 1977 at Whittier School and at the Department of Transportation area located on North Third Street. This will provide a total of 21 warning systems situated throughout the City. Workmen begin installation of a new siren system at Meadowlark School. This was one of four units installed at schools during 1976, providing even greater coverage and protection for Salina residents. 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. PERSONAL HEALTH ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH ~ Home Care Program School Health Program Venereal Disease Clinic Well Child Clinic Pregnancy Testing Pap Smear Clinic Family Planning Clinic Immunization Clinic Day Care Applications/Licensing Adult Care Facilities Evaluation Sickle Cell Screening Communicable Disease Control Satellite Nursing Clinics Women, Infant, Children Supplemental Food Program Nuisance Complaint Investigation Water Supply Testing/Consultation Sewerage Disposal Consultation Mosquito Control Rodent Control Food Establishment Evaluation Communicable Disease Control Private Water & Sewerage Systems Approval HEALTH EDUCATION & PROMOTION Presentations Audio & Visual Material Individual & Group Conference Expectant Parents Classes Counseling Library II ~~altq The Health Department endeavors to provide services that will promote the general health of families and the community. Although the majority of programs serve the individual, Health Department staff work with these individuals in terms of their families' health and well-being. Through such family oriented health programs, the department strives to upgrade the overall health of Salina and Saline County. For Salina's younger generation, the department offers such programs as Immunization Clinic, Well Child Clinic, and School Health Program. These are preventive type programs. The department has recently added the Women, Infants, and Children Supplemental Food Program to its list of services. This program will provide pregnant women, infants, and children under 5 years of age certain foods that benefit their growth and development. The Environmental Health staff continue their routine functions of protecting the health and well-being of the community through various environmental maintenance programs. They have become increasingly involved in the inspection of private water and sewerage systems within the county. No rural residential construction can begin until such systems are approved by the Environmental Health Staff. Such inspections are conducted so that prospective homeowners can be assured that their residence will protect their health and that of the environment now and in the future. Expectant Parent Classes have been provided through the Health Department for 9 years. The course offers expectant mothers and fathers the opportunity to ask questions and share personal experiences with other expectant parents. The classes deal with labor and delivery, exercises, child care, emotional changes and anything else the participants choose to discuss. The Expectant Parent Classes are by far one of the most utilized and enjoyed services offered by the Health Department. I .. a .. ~un~a\! ~alhm~a\! m:u~s~a\! ~~~n~s~a\! m:qurs~a\!
