YOUR SALINA CITY COMMISSION: fL. to R.) Dan Geis; Jerry Simpson; Mayor Keith Duckers; Vice-Mayor Jack Weisgerber; Karen Graves
To: The Citizens of Salina
I am pleased to have this opportunity to greet all of the citizens
of our great city through this Annual Report for 1977.
Pictured on the cover is an artist's rendition of the Salina Bicen-
tennial Center. As you receive and read this report, the SBC is already
beginning to rise from the ground in Kenwood Park. At long last, it
is becoming a reality--a dream come true for countless hundreds of
Salinans who contributed in one way or another to make it happen!
Obviously, to me, the start of construction last fall was the highlight
of 1977.
But there were many other accomplishments during the past
year to which your City Commissioners and administrative staff point
with pride: Centennial and Carver Centers. . . Renovation of Memorial
Hall for a Neighborhood Center. . . Mayor's Christmas Party . . .
Housing Rehabilitation and Winterization Programs . . . Railroad
crossing repairs, funded in part by the railroads and Community
Development Funds . . . Storm drainage study for South Salina . . .
Salina's first housing project for the elderly - Johnstown Towers. . . and
a new park in southeast Salina.
These, and other achievements all go to improve the quality of
life in Salina-a philosophy to which your city government is committed.
The growth and progress in Salina could never happen without
the support' and assistance of many persons who generously give of
their time and talents to serve on the Boards, Commissions, and Com-
mittees. We hereby extend our official thanks to all who are involved.
I am proud to be a partner with all of these citizens, together
with my colleagues on the Commission and staff, working toward a
better tomorrow in Salina.
SALINA BICENTENNIAL CENTER
Following the passage of a $6.5 million bond issue on November
2, 1976, a design contract for the Salina Bicentennial Center was
awarded to the local firm of Bucher and Willis, on March 7, 1977.
The new center, to be located in Kenwood Park, is felt to be the
culmination of the efforts of many Salinans during the Bicentennial
Year.
The arena will have 4,500 fixed seats and 2,500 portable seats for
sports events. An additional 1,500 seats on the floor will provide a
seating capacity of 8,500 at entertainment events. The Exhibit Hall
will provide banquet facilities for 1,500 people.
G. E. Johnson Construction Company of Colorado Springs, Colorado,
was awarded the general contract on September 12, 1977, with 545 days
specified for completion. Work began on the facility shortly after
the September 26 ground breaking ceremonies.
A Bicentennial Center Governing Board was appointed on October
and will serve as an ad hoc committee until an ordinance is enacted
outlining its responsibilities. The Board m~mbers are: Ralph Reitz,
Acting Chairman; BilI Usher; Ken Stepfienson; Ed Pogue; Dean
Evans; Bob Whitworth, Executive Director of the Chamber of Com-
merce; and Norris Olson, City Manager. The latter two serve by
virtue of their position.
Sincerely,

UCV7171 - A YEAR OF "FIRSTS" FOR SALINA!
TWO NEW NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS: The new Carver Center (left), designed by Architectural Services
Plus, will feature earth berms and possibly a solar water heater to conserve energy. The $90,000 building will have
three main meeting rooms, a kitchen, restrooms and storage space. Centennial Center (right), a $300,000 building, will
be located just southeast of the Centennial Park softball diamond on Commanche Street. Designed by Shaver Partner-
ship, the 6,300 square foot center will also feature earth berms. Plans call for a multi-purpose room, game room, meeting
room, offices and a child care center to accommodate 20 children. The area around the building will include a paved,
open-air pavilion for outdoor activities such as dances and picnics. Playground equipment will also be provided.
Martha Rhea, Director of the Salina Arts Com-
mission, stands by "Cottonwood Meadow", placed
in the City Clerk's office, as part of the Public Arts
Collection.
MAYOR'S CHRISTMAS PARTY -
The new Neighborhood Center in Mem-
orial Hall was the scene of the First
Annual Mayor's Christmas Party on
December 17, 1977. Mayor Keith
Duckers, Carmen Chirveno, Director of
the Neighborhood Centers, and two
young friends lead the Christmas
caroling at the Mayor's Christmas Party.
ART IS "UPON THE TOWN" - Five original
pieces of art were placed .in the Library and the
Government Center as part of Salina's new Public
Arts Collection. These art works, dedicated publicly
on September 19, 1977, were purchased through the
auspices of the Salina Arts Commission at the Smoky Hill River Festival. Approximately $800
was collected from Salina citizens, businesses and organizations who were interested in supporting
a public art collection for the city.
Salinans can be proud that the arts are considered an integral part of daily life and that this
fact is recognized by the City through its municipal support of the arts. The Salina Arts Com-
mission has played an important coordinating role for the past 11 years.
The Smoky Hill River Festival, scheduled this year on June 9-10-11, promises to be as exciting
as in the past. For additional information On Salina and area arts and cultural events, call the
"Entertainment Hotline", at 5-5713, or the Arts Commission office, 7-4640.
JOHNSTOWN TOWERS ~ Construction was completed and
residents moved into a 91 unit, HUD-subsidized, elderly housing
development on December I, 1977. The project was designed. by
Development Consultants, Inc. The City is asked by HUD to review
such projects, comment on the proposals, and decide. if they conform
with the City's needs and goals. The City sees a need for a minimum
of 300 such units within the next two to three years. Salina can
take great pride in the fact that its elderly are not being forgotten,
but remain an integral part of the community and its growth.
BALLD~ONDSTOLOWER
INDIAN ROCK PARK - The City
plans to use Community Development
Funds for its matching of a Bureau of Out-
door Recreation (BaR) grant of $181,115,
for construction of PeeWee and Midget
baseball diamonds in Lower Indian Rock
Park. The new diamonds will' take the
place of those removed from Kenwood
Park for construction of the Bicentennial
Center. Adult diamonds at another site
are presently under consideration by the
City and the Salina Recreation Commission.
1978 should see the construction of needed
diamonds both to replace those formerly
in Kenwood and to handle the expansion
of these recreation programs.
URBAN RENEWAL CLOSEOUT-
The Northeast Industrial Park was the
last of Salina's three Urban Renewal
projects to be closed out. Two projects
remained in January 1976, when the
City Commission took over the role of
the Urban Renewal Board: the Downtown
Beautification and the Northeast Industrial
Park. The downtown project closed out
early in 1976. All of the land in the indus-
trial park has been sold for redevelopment
except 2.3 acres of the total 133.9 acres.
Several development projects have been
completed and others will soon begin in
the park. The remaining single parcel
of land is expected to be sold in early 1978.
HOUSING REHABILITATION AND
WINTERIZATION PROGRAMS -
The rehabilitation program is designed
to provide free inspections, and grants
or loans to residents within the project
area to improve their homes. Grants
up to $5,000 and loans (at 3% annual
interest) up to $10,000 are available to
those qualifying. During 1977, 39 home
inspections were completed under this
program, with 4 loan applications approved.
In addition, 12 grant applications were
approved and emergency assistance was
provided to 71 residences. This brought
the total amount either completed or
under contract to $110,565.88.
The Housing Winterization Program
has two major goals: (1) to aid the elderly
(60 years or older) and the low to moderate
income families in reducing utility costs
through insulation; and (2) to conserve
energy. A maximum grant or loan of
$500.00 (at 3% annual'interest) is available
to those who qualify. The total amounts
of grants and loans for the year was
$122,045.29. The program is financed with
CD funds and monies under Title III of
the Older Americans Act.

PROGRAM. PLEASE CONTAGr THE

City Manager, Norris D. Olson (right), serves as policy advisor to the
City Commission. Here he is shown with two of the City's administrative
staff: (left), City Engineer, Dean Boyer, and City Attorney, Larry Bengtson.
Managing a city is not totally unlike managing a multi-
million dollar private business. Basically it is a service oriented
type of business. The various services provided by the city
are extremely diversified and therefore require expertise,
within the administrative staff, in numerous fields.
The City Manager, being the chief administrator, has the
primary responsibility for seeing that the policies established
by the Board of Directors (the City Commission) are efficiently
and effectively administered. In so doing, the manager must
have a capable and reliable staff, with each individual well
versed in his or her particular field.
In dealing with the multitude of issues, proposals, and
requests, the City Commission relies upon the professional
staff for research and guidance. The assistance of outside
consultants is sometimes necessary where the city does not
have sufficient staff, the time or the required expertise to
handle the assignment.
.
Pleasant receptionists are essential for good public relations. Margaret
Knipp, secretary to the City Manager, handles numerous telephon~ calls
each day and makes visitors feel welcome.
While local government cannot be everything to everybody,
the public does rely on it to provide certain services; particu-
larly those that are not feasible for private enterprise to
offer. In a city of 40,000 population, it is only natural that
there is a broad range of opinions as to what services the city
should or should not provide. As special interest groups, or
individuals, look to the city to undertake a new project, or
implement a new program, the elected and appointed officials
must weigh the pros and cons. Some of the questions to be
resolved are: 1. Should the city become involved, and if so,
to what extent? 2. What is best for the community as a whole
on a long range basis? 3. What will it cost and do we have the
financial capability? And 4. What priority should the item
receive compared to other needs?

1977 was a year of considerable changes that affected
the Park Department. The Salina Bicentennial Center
was begun in Kenwood Park, necessitating the construction
of new baseball and softball diamonds. Plans for diamonds
are under consideration in Lower Indian Rock Park and
the Schilling area. This year also brought plans and pre-
liminary work on the long awaited park in southeast
Salina.
While such long-range planning and construction required
much time and money, the daily operations and smaller
improvements contiilUed. With over 611 acres of parks,
the department has a monumental task in maintenance
alone: fertilizing, watering, and manicuring grass, bushes
and trees; planting and caring for thousands of flowers;
maintaining playground equipment, ball diamonds and
fields; cleaning and improving shelterhouses, restrooms,
and the Lodge at Lakewood Park. Many of these activities
can easily go unnoticed, as do some of the improvements
made during the year. A number of those improvements
are:
Oakdale Park: An addition to the shop area and green-
house was completed. Green Thumb workers repaired
the shelter houses. A new swing set was installed and
the river banks improved.
Sunset Park: a drinking fountain for the handicapped
was installed. The stream and rock garden received exten-
sive repair.
Lakewood Park: The south entrance bridge was replanked,
reshaping of the east side of the lake completed, and
new carpeting and draperies placed in the lodge.
Thomas Park: Tables and benches were repaired by the
Green Thumbers, and grass reseeding carried out.
Indian Rock Park (Upper and Lower): The shelter house
roof was repaired. A Bureau of Outdoor Recreation grant
was obtained for half of the estimated cost of constructing
Midget and Pee Wee baseball diamonds. An application is
pending with HUD to fund the balance with Community
Development funds.
Centennial Park: Numerous trees were planted, and a
neighborhood center was approved for construction.
South Park: Approximately 60 trees, donated by
McDonald's, were planted in May and June.
New Park in the Southeast: Over 70 trees were trans-
planted from city-owned nursery stock adjoining Thomas
Park following approval of an in-house park design.
Golf Course: New restrooms and cart paths were
constructed.
In the downtown area, trees received their usual care.
Trees for many of the parks were received from donors
such as the Roundtable Club and McDonald's. The Park
Department is grateful for such gifts to further enhance
the beauty of our urban oases. 1978 should bring an even
batter park system to fruition as some of the major pro-
jects move into the implementation stage. The City hopes
you will enjoy the parks to the fullest extent possible.
After all, they are developed and maintained for YOU.

the northwest Salina nursery

Green Thumb, workers install fence posts in Lakewood
Park. Salina has participated in the Green Thumb
Program for several years. This program, designed to
help low-income elderly persons from rural backgrounds,
is funded by the U.S. Department of Labor. A number
of special projects have been accomplished through the
program. it also provides an opportunity for senior
citizens to use their time productively.

SALINA LANDFILL HISTORY
John Q., Mrs. Public, and the kids generate more trash
in one year than their forefathers did in a lifetime. So, what
do you do with it? Burn it? No - this contributes to air pollu-
tion. Flush it? Not without stream pollution. The answer?
Bury it . . . by utilizing the sanitary landfill.
Salina has used tile landfill method of disposal since the
early 1930's. This experiment was started as part of an insect
and rodent control campaign. The landfill was then only
used by city collection trucks. Private haulers continued to
use the open dumps. In 1950, the private haulers began using
the sanitary landfill method to dispose of refuse.
The original goal of developing an economical, sanitary
method of garbage and trash disposal has been reached.
The open dump has been eliminated, also alleviating the
rat and rodent problem. A great deal of effort is taken to
see that the landfill operation is not offensive to the sur-
rounding area.
The Street Department and Brown and Brown. Inc.,
cooperated on the installation of a hot-mix driving suface
on East Crawford Street. from the Smoky Hill River
bridge east to Marymount Road. Plans are underway
for a major improvement to the street between Ohio
Street and Marymount Road. This resurfacing work is
a temporary measure.
Street Department crews gave the old landfill. northeast of Salina. a final cover
and leveled it for undetermined future use. Millions of tons of refuse are concealed
here in several pits and approximately a mile of abandoned river bed.
DID YOU KNOW. . .?
In January 1977 the Street
Department hauled 478 loads of
snow, spread 220 tons of chemicals,
and 90 tons of sand on the icy
streets, and worked 2,250 hours
on snow removal.
. .. 345 loads of limbs were hauled
from streets and private property
following the June windstorm
. .. 174 loads of dirt were hauled
to baseball diamonds in preparation
for the summer baseball programs.
New pedestrian actuated traffic signals were installed
at the crosswalk at the Martin Luther King. Jr.. Child
Care Center. in the 1200 block of North Santa Fe.

1977 BROUGHT THE SALINA POLICE DEPARTMENT UP-TO-DATE
IN AREAS OF LOOKS, EFFICIENCY & EQUIPMENT.
A new uniform is now being phased in for
the uniformed division. A new polyester
navy knit (left) has replaced the out-dated
wool elastique grey pant and shirt (right).
This is expected to be an improvement in
both comfort and upkeep.
The Crime Prevention Program now includes "Oper-
ation Identification". This program provides permanent
and positive identification marking on personal valuables
to make them less attractive to thieves. Here, an
officer engraves a driver's license number on a CB
Radio for identification purposes.
Personnel involved in the protective services such as law enforcement
and firefighting need to be in good health and physical condition. Police
officers and firefighters frequently find themselves suddenly involved
in an emotional, strenuous or extremely tense situation which taxes the
cardio-vascular system.
For the welfare of the employees, their dependents, and the public
they serve, a "Stress Testing" program was initiated in 1977. A complete
evaluation is made by an exercise physiologist under doctor supervision.
An exercise routine is then tailored to the needs of the particular indivi-
dual. At least annual follow-up checks will be made.
Above, an officer exercises on a Bike Ergometer while his heart beat
is monitored by an EKG. His blood pressure and heart rate are closely
monitored by the physician and physiologist.

to preserve cases, should the building ever suffer fire or water damage.
DWI PROGRAM INITIATED IN 1977 - A new program aimed at drivers operating
vehicles while under the influence of drugs or alcohol was developed in 1977. The program,
to be funded by the Kansas Department of Transportation at an estimated cost of $136,706.00,
will go into effect early in 1978. Extra patrol cars will operate at certain times with the
primary mission of apprehending intoxicated drivers. During 1977, there were 320 DWI
arrests in Salina. It is hoped that this new program will significantly reduce this number.

Planning Technician, Mary Bonilla, is shown completing a staff
position report on a petition for rezoning. Each request requires
research on lot size, location, present zoning status, present use,
impact on municipal services, schools and other factors.

To date, four Community Development Block
Grant applications and one amended application have
been submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development. These applications repre-
sent slightly over $2.8 million and enable the city
to undertake several projects we would be unable
to do through local sources of funding. Five public
hearings were held in 1977 on the amended 3rd year
application and the new 4th year application.
Housing rehabilitation and winterization continues
to be one of the most important programs, as over
40% of our CD funds are earmarked for this category.
Another 40% is programmed for parks and neighbor-
hood centers. The remaining 20% is allocated to
various projects such as railroad crossing repairs,
separation of storm and san~tary sewers, providing

The Planning Department has the primary respon-
sibility of implementing orderly development of the
City through the utilization of three important docu-
ments - the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Regulations
and Subdivision Regulations.
In addition to monitoring and administering these
regulations, one of the most important functions
is to serve 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 31 times last
year and considered a total of 97 applications for
rezoning, plats, annexations and miscellaneous requests.
Valentine's Day, 1977 was the day 'a new zoning
ordinance went into effect, culminating more than
four years of effort by the Planning Commission
and staff. Several significant changes were made,

equipment to child care centers, and making building
improvements to the Leisure Years Center, the
YWCA, and the Salvation Army.
Significant progress on many of these projects is
being made. In the Housing Rehabilitation Program,
16 homes have been totally rehabilitated. We have
also winterized over 300 homes and provided emer-
gency assistance to over 70 residences.
Contracts have been awarded for sandblasting
the exterior of the Leisure Years Center, and for
the construction of a new neighborhood center in
Centennial Park. Construction has begun on the
renovation of Memorial Hall into a neighborhood
center. Equipment has been purchased for the Martin
Luther King, Jr., Child Care Center and for the two
centers operated by the Salina Child Care Association.
.
.
including new districts, flood plain regulations, mobile
home park regulations and a new section on signs.
With the adoption of the new zoning ordinance,
the department assumed staff functions for the Salina
Board of Zoning Appeals, which met 10 times last
year to consider 13 variances and 8 conditional use
applications.
An annexation plan was approved by the Planning
Commission for possible additions to the city of
approximately 325 acres within the next year, approxi-
mately 1,000 additional acres within three years and
as much as 3,500 acres within ten years. By annexing
prior to development, a city can guarantee the
continuity of streets, provide for major streets,
coordinate drainage and sewerage systems and
require good standards of street, utility, and building
construction.

Salina firefighters utilize their spare time for a
worthwhile cause: repairing toys for the new neigh-
borhood center located in Memorial Hall. These
toys, donated by Salinans, will add to the enjoyment
of the center's young visitors.
Below, firemen are shown checking insulation in a
residence for the Community Development Housing
Winterization Program. The department initiated
the in-service inspections in November and com-
pleted 93 by the end of 1977. While conducting
the free inspections, several life hazards, such as
improper venting, have been found by the firemen.
.
To meet the goal of effective fire
prevention, your Salina Fire Department
continually seeks new methods of improv-
ing service to the community. Modern
techniques are studied and incorporated
into the many programs offered at no
special charge by the Department. Those
programs include:
Home Fire Safety Inspections.
Advice on purchasing, use and
installation of smoke detectors.
Carbon-monoxide and gas checks.
Fireplace inspections
Fire safety & fire extinguisher
clinics.
Babysitter's clinics.
Blind and invalid signs - red ball
stickers.
The Fire Department responded to
907 alarms during 1977. Property loss
amounted to $624,352.28. There were
14 fire-related injuries and no fire-related
deaths. A total of 3134 inspections were
performed by the Fire Prevention Bureau.
Included in this total were 74 programs
presented to schools, civic groups, hospi-
tals, nursing homes and businesses.
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
ADVOCATES THE INSTALLATION
OF SMOKE DETECTORS
IN ALL RESIDENCES.
THIS WILL REDUCE
FIRE-RELATED INJURIES,
DEATH AND PROPERTY LOSS.
Members of the Kansas Air National Guard from
McConnell Air Force Base, Wichita, Kansas, supply
the aircraft and expertise for members of the Salina
Fire Department's training on "Hands on Egress"
and securing artillery.
A new attack unit was added to the inventory
during 1977. This light response crash-rescue unit
is assigned to Fire Station No.3, located in the
Schilling Industrial Area. This unit was purchased
by the FAA and the Airport Authority. Its primary
purpose is to combat flammable liquid fires.

The Building Inspection Department monitors
new building construction and additions to existing
structures for compliance with the City's Building,
Electrical, Plumbing, Gas, Minimum Housing and
Mechanical Codes.
The 1976 Mechanical Code was adopted on
January 6, 1977. The responsibility for the enforce-
ment of this code rests with the Mechanical Inspec-
tor, and covers such areas as heating, vantilating,
and air conditioning equipment.
Energy conservation measures are being incor-
porated into the Building Codes through the
efforts of the Building Code Advisory Board.
The administration of the City's Zoning Ordi-
nance is another important function of the depart-
ment. This ordinance deals with regulating the
use of land and the location of buildings on the
land. Parking requirements, signs, residential
density, and lot coverage are all covered under
this new ordinance, adopted in February 1977.
The restrictions imposed by these and other
ordinances are for the protection of public health,
safety, and welfare; and to help preserve property
values.

Human Relations Director, Will Burnett, and
his secretary, Allegra White, are shown
researching a Civil Rights case. The depart-
ment works with numerous federal, state
and local laws and related regulations in the
field of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative
Action.
The Human Relations Department is charged
with the responsibility of enforcing the Equal
Opportunity and Affirmative Action ordinances of
the City of Salina. Enforcement consists of pro-
cessing complaints of alleged discrimination in
the areas of employment, housing and public
accommodations. There were 40 cases claiming
discrimination processed by the department in
1977: 35 in the area of employment; 3 in housing;
and 2 in public accommodations. Of these, 9 showed
probable cause for discrimination, 12 showed no
probable cause, 16 were administratively closed,
one was exempt, and two are still under investi-
gation. In addition, there were 26 cases regarding
employment complaints that were resolved through
conciliation without the investigative process.
The Building Inspector has a varied job -
from inspecting new and existing structures
for compliance with the codes, to writing
numerous permits for new construction,
signs, awnings, patio covers, building addi-
tions and swimming pools. Pictured above,
Building Inspector, Jim Gross.
. . . . . . .
The City's own Affirmative Action Policy
involves continual monitoring and evaluation of
the personnel policies and procedures to comply
with our commitment to nondiscrimination in
City employment. The City also, as part of the
Affirmative Action Policy, requires those vendors,
contractors, subcontractors and suppliers who do
business with the City in the amount of $10,000 or
more per year to submit Affirmative Action Plans
for annual review. Federal programs, such as
Community Development, have very strict require-
ments concerning Equal Opportunity and Affirm-
ative Action. The City is charged with the respon-
sibility of seeing that such regulations are met.

Salina has 72 railroad crossings - a very high number
for a city of 40,000 - and maintaining them is a con-
stant concern. 14 crossings were repaired or replaced
on Ohio, Santa Fe, and Ninth Streets; and 11 new
crossings were installed through the southern section
of the city.
A city survey crew stakes out a public improvement
project in a new housing development. Field data on
topography, boundaries, and soils are essential to
sound engineering design.
c/
.
The Engineering Department is respon-
sible for the planning, design and con-
struction of public works projects within
the city. These projects include water
treatment and distribution systems, sewage
treatment and collection systems, storm
drainage systems, street paving, bridges,
sidewalks, major maintenance of city-
owned facilities, traffic control analysis
and placement of street lights.
Sixteen improvement projects were
under construction during 1977, with total
expenditures amounting to $1,418,652.37.
In addition to the public works projects
that were planned and constructed during
the year, the Engineering Department
has been involved in planning for Com-
munity Development Block Grant Funds
in areas of: park development; neigh-
borhood center development; new ball
diamonds; an overall storm drainage
study for the south part of Salina; and
the ever-present problems with our many
railroad crossings.
Unusually heavy rains in early September caused
surface flooding in south Salina. A $38,400 aerial topo-
graphy survey by Wilson and Co. had just been com-
pleted in June. and is serving as the basis of a $61,060
study by Wilson and Co. of drainage in the affected
area. The study is scheduled for completion in approxi-
mately mid-April of 1978. Consulting engineers are
shown giving a preliminary briefing to the City Com-
mission.
The Engineering Department monitors many public
works projects, including street and utility construction.

The wash water holding tank will help remove
excess treatment chemicals prior to the sludge
being pumped to drying beds northeast of Salina.
Reclaimed chemicals will be used in lime production.
A 22 year old water softening basin, one of 3 such
units, was rebuilt in 1977. Each basin has a flow
capacity of approximately 5 million gallons per
day. Soda ash and lime added through this center
control column, softens the water. Solids settle to
the bottom and are conveyed to the calcining plant
for recycling.
In 1977, construction began on an
$807,200 facility to reclaim and process
all waste products from the treatment
of water. The project, 75% of which
will be financed by an EP A grant, is
essential for conformity with the Federal
Waste Pollution Control Act as amended
in 1972. Sediment will be piped to sludge
drying beds northeast of the City, rather
than being discharged into the old river
channel. Scheduled for completion during
the summer of 1978, the project is designed
to serve the City's needs for the next
20 years.
The water treatment plant pumped
well over 2 billion gallons of water this
year, with daily demand ranging from a
peak of 13.3 million gallons on a July
day to a low of 3.8 million on a November
day. The Smoky Hill River was the source
of 56% of the water, and 15 wells con-
tributed the other 44%. The sewage
treatment plants continued to meet or
surpass rigorous federal standards in
treating an average of 5.4 million gallons
of sewage per day.
In spite of the 40% increase in water
rates implemented in February 1977,
Salina's rates remain among the lowest
in Kansas. The increase was necessitated
by rising operating costs and the need
for major improvements to the treatment
plant and distribution system. Revenue
Bonds totaling $3,000,000 were issued in
April to finance the improvements.
Periodic flushing of hydrants avoids stale water
and allows a water pressure check.
The drive-in window at Government Center makes
payments quick and convenient.

The Salina-Saline County Community
Health Department's goals are to pro-
vide services and programs that will
afford Saline County residents the
opportunity to achieve optimum indi-
vidual and community health standards.
Each year existing programs are
updated and new programs are added
to meet the growing needs of the
community.
The Environmental Health Section
has purchased two new vehicles for
use in the Mosquito Control Program.
This increases the number of available
vehicles from two to three for the
coming mosquito season.
The Personal Health Section has
received a grant to implement a Mater-
nal and Infant Program within the
.
The department provides programs. and services directed toward
preventive health care for the benefit of all Saline County residents.
Listed below are the services presently offered through the department.
Department. The program will be
directed towards expectant women,
ages 19 and under, and will allow staff
nurses to follow eligible females through
their pregnancy and provide services
that are necessary. The nursing staff
will also maintain contact with the
new family after the birth of the infant.
The Personal Health Section has
also consolidated the majority of the
independent clinic services and made
them available on a walk-in basis
throughout the week. The new General
Nursing Clinics are designed to meet
the general preventive health needs
of the community. Since clinics are no
longer scheduled by the individual
service, clients can benefit from more
than one service on a single visit.

The 3/4 ton truck pictured above was purchased from
surplus government stock. It was equipped locally for
use as a fire truck and assigned to Rural Fire District
No. 1. A substantial inventory of other surplus vehicles,
equipment and tools has been acquired by the EP office
for use by various city and county departments.
."
Emergency Preparedness is the organized
effort of the local government and popula-
tion to cope with major emergencies.
Preparedness is achieved through coop-
erative planning and prepared actions of
government, business, industry and the
public. This planning is based on the most
severe hazard - nuclear attack, but includes
other man-made and natural hazards. Local
planning is based on potential hazards in
Salina and Saline County and local resources:
people, facilities, equipment and supplies.
Early in 1977, the medical and food sup-
plies were removed from the public fall-
out shelters, due to their age. These will
not be replaced unless additional funding
is secured. The removal is also in line with
current planning for emphasis on the
home basement fallout shelter.
The new Community Shelter Plan is
expected to be completed early in 1978.
This plan advocates the utilization of the
home basement or shelter for protection
against nuclear fallout. Public shelter will
also be available for those persons not
having basements.
The Crisis Relocation concept was ini-
tiated in 1977. This concept calls for the
relocation of the population from a risk
area, such as Salina, if time permits, prior
to a nuclear attack or possible nuclear
attack. Planning for Crisis Relocation will
be completed in 1978. This will give the
city and county two alternatives: in-place
shelter or relocating from the city and
county to designated areas of safety.
