To: The Citizens of Salina
As Mayor of Salina and on behalf of my fellow City Commissioners it gives me pleasure
to submit to you the 1978 Annual Report and your Community Calendar for 1979-1980.
1978 might be termed a year of happenings, such as the creation of the Bicentennial
Authority, the Park Advisory Board, Neighborhood Center Advisory Board; the naming of the
director for the soon to be completed Bicentennial Center; the remodeling of Memorial Hall
Neighborhood Center was completed; the construction of Carver and Centennial Neighborhood
Centers; the naming of the new park in South Salina; much has been accomplished and
many people have benefited from the Community Development Rehabilitation and Winterization
Programs; new ball diamonds were constructed at Lower Indian Rock Park and Schilling;
steps were taken to attempt to alleviate the south Salina drainage problem; the federal
government sold the Schilling Manor property to A & K Railroad Materials of Utah, and
City Manager Norris Olson resigned in December to accept the job as general manager for the
project, the new fire chief was named; and a contract was let on a new animal shelter.
On Our Cover:
1. The new Carver Genter. located at 315 N. 2nd. was
constructed at a cost of S168.032. paid for with Com-
munity Development tunds. The building was dedicated
on February 11. 1979.
2. S35.000 in CD funds were used to give the old
Saline County Courthouse a facelitt. These funds were
utilized to sandblast the exterior. repair the Sidewalk
and parking lot and to install starm windows on the
second and third floor. The Saline County Commission
on Aging provided funds for installation of storm win-
dows on the first floor and for remodeling the Leisure
Years Center. located on the tirst floor of the building
3. Construction of the Salina Bicentennial Center.
located in Kenwood Park. nears completion. The struc-
ture was financed by the passage of a $65 million bond
ISsue on November 2. 1976 Mickey Yerger was hired as
Its Directar In April. 1978. The arena will have 4.500
fixed seats and 2.500 partable 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 far 1.500
people Gala entertainment events are scheduled for
the grand opening of the center on June 1-2. 1979
In addition to the above I would like to point out that Salina should be proud of all the
accomplishments of the past year and the years since Salina has been incorporated. All of this
is due to the progressive spirit of the community, and in my last term as Mayor of Salina I
would like to pay tribute to all those who have accomplished much to make this a better place
for our future citizens to grow and live. Much of the success of our community can be
credited to the dedicated and capable employees who provide our municipal services and care
for our publicly owned facilities.

Bill Harris, Assistant City Manager since 1966, and
an employee of the City since 1951, was appointed
Acting City Manager, December 16, 1978.
Administrative Secretary, Margaret Knipp, and
Secretary, Becky Hall. assemble and check ma-
terial to be delivered to the City Commissioners in
preparation for an upcoming meeting. The muni-
cipal operation involves thousands of reports,
studies and other types of correspondence each
year. A large percentage of it either originates in,
passes through, or terminates in the City Manager's
office.
The office of City Manager had been held by. Norris D, Olson from ,
May 1, 1964 until December 16, 1978, The change of the Chief'
Administrator in an organization after that many years brings
about many uncertainties and will require adjustment on the part of
the staff,. particularly those working closest with the City Manager.
This page on Administration will address the position of City
Manager for the benefit of the new citizen, who may for the first
time live in a city with the Commission-Manager form of government
and also as a refresher for those who have been previously
associated with Salina's form of local.government.
Kansas Statutes Annotated from 12-1010 - 12~1014state that the
City Commission shall appoint a manager who shall be responsible i
for the efficient administration of the city's business, The manager is
responsible for the administration of all the affairs of the .city. He
must see that policies and ordinances are enforced, and appoint
and remove all heads of departments, subordinate officers and
employees of the city, Even though. the manager has the final
responsibility for administration of municipal policies, successful
management requires team approach whereby the manager dele-

ments. The CET A program has provided the City a

transferred to full time budgeted positions after a
brief training period.

gates responsibility to the various department heads to administer I
, specific functions for the city. The manager must prepare and I
submit the proposed annual budget to the governing body and
keep it advised of the financial needs and conditions of the city.
The manager makes recommendations to the commissioners on any
matter concerning the city: and has a seat but no vote in all
publicmeetings of the governing body.
A CitYrylanager must bring a professional Outlook to the job in
order to maintain obJectivity in policy analysis. The goal of municipal
I management is to make local government efficient and responsive
to the popular will. .A test for democracy is to balance publiC
necessity and individual freedom. Professional administrative leader - "
ship can assist the legislative body. in achieving the intent of
democracy. The individual must. be adaptable to changing i
technology, to expanding urban needs, to changing concepts of
, public administration, and to decision-making in. a large organization.
A City Manager devotes a large amount of hisjhertime to matters
of major policy and publiC relations. Staff assistants coordinate on-
going Operations and do the necessary research for possible plans
" and programs,

Everyone generally thinks of parks in terms of picnics
and swimming during the spring and summer months.
The pond in Oakdale Park, however, is a very popular
place when the temperature drops and snow is on the
ground The pond is filled (top photo) in anticipation of
the first eager skaters who are willing to face winter's
chill for a spin on the ice. (bottom photo)
A delightful and relaxing way to spend Friday lunch
hours was initiated by the Salina Arts Commission during
1977 . . . the "Art a la Carte" series. Public performances
were presented on a variety of arts .. from blue
grass to chamber music and were enjoyed by all ages
as they ate from their sack lunches and visited with
friends. The series will again be presented this year on
the commons of the City-County Building, each Friday
during April and May and September and October,
from 12:20 to 12:50 PM
Q
Even a city of trees and lawns like Salina
needs park facilities that every citizen can reach
and enjoy; the wide expanse of grass for games
and picnics. . . courts for tennis and basketball .
baseball diamonds. . . play equipment. . . path-
ways to stroll. . . and welcome benches for shade,
Salina has more than 611 acres of land for major
and neighborhood parks. Care and improvement
of City parks is a continuing challenge for our Park
Department. for the attractive open space we
enjoy and the splendid facilities which make them
more useful are a priceless asset in today's
crowded society.
Ivey Memorial Park, located at Magnolia and
South Ohio, is Salina's newest park. It was named
this year in ~qn<?r o,f ~olice Officer Jerry R. lvey:
who lost his life June 13, 1975. The road running
through the park is nearly completed, and will be
surfaced as soon as the weather permits. All water
and sewer lines have been installed A total of 191
trees have been planted at Ivey Park, many
transplanted from Thomas Park.
At Lakewood Park, the most activity has been
in the use of the Lodge. During 1978, there were a
total of 117 reservations for the Lodge. It's a popular
place to hold wedding receptions, parties and
meetings. Reservations can be made by calling
the City Clerk's office, 827-9653.
Salinans can be proud that the arts are con-
sidered an integral part of our community and
that this fact is recognized by the City through
its municipal support of the arts. The Salina Arts
Commission has played an important coordinating
role for the past 11 years. The Commission's
Director is Martha Rhea and the Special Projects
Co-ordinator is Ingrid Bollmann.
Many activities have grown out of the Salina Arts
Commission's efforts to incorporate the arts as
part of our daily lives. The Commission sponsors
many cultural events for all age groups. An instant
source of information on local cultural activities is
the Cultural Arts "Hot Line", at 825-5713.
The Public Art Collection is now an ongoing
project that encourages quality artists to partici-
pate in the Smoky Hill River Festival. and provides
fine works of art for all to enjoy. Fourteen pieces
of mixed media art have been purchased from
approximately S1800 in funds raised from dona-
tions by local organizations and citizens. These art
pieces are placed in the City-County Building and
the Public Library.
The City Commission has allocated S2.o00 for
two historical murals to be placed in the
Bicentennial Center. A committee has been chosen
from representatives of the Salina Arts Commission,
Historical Society, Bicentennial Authority and local
artists to plan a comprehensive arts "blueprint"
Vandals caused S2,000 damage to a shelterhouse on
the west side of Oakdale Park this summer. They
apparently removed a support pole from one corner of
the shelter and piled some park benches and tables
on the shelter's roof. causing it to fall. This needless act of
vandalism was the latest and costliest incident in a series
of park vandalisms this year, Vandalism is not only
expensive, but ruins facilities for those citizens who wish
to utilize our parks properly.
for the building. Local artists will be chosen by the
committee to do work on the murals in any medium
that can be permanently affixed to the walls of
the center.
The Smoky Hill River Festival. a by-product of the 1976
Bicentennial celebration, is again scheduled this year,on
June 8-10 in Oakdale Park. The festival will be a gala
celebration of the arts and will feature fine arts and
crafts booths, continuous entertainment on the gazebo
and Stage II. roving acts, a children's section and food
of all kinds. An annual event of this type happens
because of the combined efforts of many people. . . our
city government. businesses and individuals . . . through
money and in-kind support.

Our Winterization Program has weatherized 320
homes this year (589 to date). The program's
goals are to conserve energy by lowering utility
bills, as qualifying applicants are given up to S500
for insulation (see above photo), installation of storm
windows, and foundation and caulking work.
Four Community Development public hearings were
held during 1978 on the 5th year Community
Development Application. These hearings gave the
citizens of Salina an opportunity to express their
ideas on how CD funds should be used. This
hearing (shown below), was held in Memorial Hall.
recently renovated with Community Development
funds.
A new bus for St. Joseph's Children's Home was
purchased this year with approximately S9,000
in CD funds.
..,
The Community Development division of the Salina Plan-
ning Department works closely with the Salina Citizens'
Advisory Committee (CAC) by providing staffing, clerical
and technical assistance. To date, five Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) applications and one
amended application have been submitted to the U.S,
Department of Housing and Urban Development, repre-
senting over 3 million dollars for Salina. Four public hearings
were held in 1978 on our 5th year CDBG application. Attend-
ance and interest has been down considerably from pre-
vious years even though this money represents federal
return of tax dollars paid by every taxpayer in the City of
Salina and the projects undertaken could directly benefit
or affect fifty to seventy-five percent of our population.
Housing rehabilitation and winterization continues to be
one of the most important programs as 37% of our total
CDBG funds are in this category, Another 31% is program-
med for parks and neighborhood centers. The remaining
32% is allocated to various programs such as separation of
storm and sanitary sewers, railroad crossing repairs, equip-
ment to child care centers and building improvements to
the Salvation Army, Leisure Years Center and the YWCA.
Memorial Hall, Carver Center and Centennial Center
are all substantially complete as new neighborhood
centers. Memorial Hall has been in operation since April
1978, and Carver and Centennial should open in February
of 1979. All centers are totally equipped for handicapped
persons.
Contracts were also awarded in 1978 for relocation of
some baseball/softball diamonds into Lower Indian Rock
Park and for construction for an addition to the Salvation
Army Corps Community Center on North Santa Fe.
1979 should bring completion of these projects as well as
completion of work to improve the accessibility of the
YWCA to handicapped persons and separation of most
of the combined storm and sanitary sewers in the City. A
continuation of our Rehabilitation and Winterization
Programs is likely, however, we may begin to see it decline
as funds are exhausted.
Donna GolL Housing Winterization Coordinator,
(shown above), coordinates the winterization
program and assists applicants in determining
their qualification for the program. Ms. GolI also
inspects homes weatherized under the program
and confers with contractors, to see if the work
was done per contract specifications. For further
information on applying for our Winterization
Program, call the Community Development Depart-
ment, 825-7261.
Eight ball diamonds are under construction in
Lower Indian Rock Park, replacing several diamonds
displaced by construction of the Bicentennial
Center in Kenwood Park. A total of approximately
S500,000 in improvement costs were shared by
Community Development and Federal Land and
Water Conservation funds, and included fencing
and landscaping, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, surfacing
of drives and parking lots, concession stands, 8
backstops, 16 bleacher units, 6 picnic tables, 3
cooking grills and 176 new trees. These improve-
ments are expected to be completed in the spring
of 1979.

The City's Inspection Crew: (L to R) Jim Gross, Building;
Eddie Misner, Mechanical; Jack Darrow, Electrical, and (seated),
Don Mergen, Plumbing.
The addition of a Mechanical Inspector has generated
many new inspections of fireplaces, furnaces, air conditioning
and air handling equipment. Already, several potentially
dangerous installations have been found and corrected,
averting possible tragedy. The department is pleased to
report excellent cooperation and support from the trade,
and looks forward to further cooperative efforts to prevent
loss of life or property through the improper or illegal
installation of equipment regulated under the uniform Mechani-
cal Code.
The continuing training program for the inspectors is a daily
thing. Not only do the codes change in each of the
individual trades, but also each inspector is learning the
other's job and is aQle to make most routine inspections
of the work of all trades. This, when training is completed, is
intended to lead to a possible re-classification of the
individual jobs to a newly created position of Combination
Inspector. This will reduce time and miles driven by as many
as four inspectors to one site, to make four inspections.
Since there is so much emphasis on energy conservation
today, miles equal dollars and also wasted resources.
The Building Inspection Department
administers and enforces building codes
and related ordinances; issues building
permits and provides building in-
spection services, and reviews resi-
dentiaL commercial and industrial
development plans for compliance
with the building, electrical, plumbing,
and Minimum Housing Codes. In co-
operation with the City Planning
Department and Board of Zoning
Appeals, it is also responsible for the
interpretation and administration of
the Zoning Ordinance.
New editions of the Uniform Codes
are scheduled for publication during
1979. These new codes contain sec-
tions which reflect a new awareness
of energy conservation requirements,
building security standards, changes
in fire safety, existing requirements,
occupant safety, handicapped require-
ments and many other areas relating
to building construction, occupancy
and use.
Outdoor housekeeping, such as the
removal of inoperable vehicles, is
another function of the department.
In an effort to enhance the appear-
ance of neighborhoods and maintain
property values, owners of such vehi-
cles are required to remove them or
place them in operating condition
within a reasonable time.

The Planning Division has the primary responsibility of implementing orderly growth of the City
through the adoption, maintenance and utilization of three important documents - the Compre-
hensive Plan, Zoning Regulations, and Subdivision Regulations, The division also serves as the
professional staff to the Salina City Planning Commission and the Salina Board of Zoning Appeals,
These duties include providing research, technical assistance and advice on planning matters,
The City Planning Commission met 33 times last year and considered a total of 90 applications
for rezoning, plats, annexations and miscellaneous requests,
1978 activities hinged around work on revisions to Salina's Subdivision Regulations, After the
flood of August 31 1977, the City Commission ordered a drainage study of problems in South
Salina, The undertaking and completion of this study in 1978 meant that we were unable to finish
work on our new Subdivision Regulations, as care needed to be taken to be certain that
greater emphasis was placed on drainage provisions, However, as 1978 drew to a close, the
Planning Commission was within sixty days of completing work on the revision of the regulations,
A public hearing will be scheduled shortly thereafter.
The Annexation Plan which was adopted in 1977 was followed during 1978 as nine annexations
were initiated by the Planning Commission, Two were approved, one denied and six more are
pending, More annexations are scheduled through 1979 as we work toward our goals,
The department also found itself, this year, in the position of having to enter into legal action
against Saline County in order to resolve a simmering disagreement over the city's role in areas
outside of the corporate limits, Kansas State Statutes provide that a City may require that all
subdivisions (piats) within three miles of the city limits be reviewed and approved by the City for
conformance with City Subdivision Regulations, After the recording of a plat south of the City
limits, the City has challenged the County's authority to do this without prior City approval.
Growth and development of the areas reasonably close to any city are a concern of that city, as
frequently the City will be called upon eventually to provide public services to the area, This is much
more difficult and expensive if the development is substandard, scattered or not in the best interests
of the City, Therefore, a decision by the District Court, which is expected early in 1979, should
help solve the current uncertainty now existing in this three-mile area - no matter which way the
ruling goes, This case is apparently without precedent in Kansas and should have a lasting effect
on Kansas planning law when it is finished
City and County Commissioners, Plan-
ning Commissioners and Board of
Zoning Appeals Members, attended a
Zoning Workshop presented by Dr,
John Keller, Professor of Urban Planning,
Kansas State University, This workshop,
a joint effort by City and County
Planning Departments, informed the
commissioners on current zoning legis-
lation that affected their respective
roles, and afforded all officials the
opportunity to share mutual problems
and concerns in the planning area,
The Salina Planning Department is currently pre-
paring an Historic Preservation Ordinance, At a time
when building techniques and styles are becoming
increasingly uniform across the nation, Americans
are beginning to place value on those man-made
elements of the environment that have special
character and that provide tangible links with the
past, Added to this concern is the growing
awareness that the conservation, restoration, or
rehabilitation of older buildings and neighborhoods
can also mean savings in energy, time and raw
materials, It is hoped that adoption of this proposed
ordinance will allow beautiful structures located
throughout Salina, such as the Quincy House
right, to retain their historical characteristics,

In November, 1973, the Salina City Commission adopted an ordinance
creating the Human Relations Commission to administer the law that
has as its stated purpose, the elimination of discrimination, The
original law provided for eradication of discrimination on the basis
of race, creed, color, religion and national origin in employment and
public accommodations, through a combination of investigative
and educational activities and by the processing of complaints
with respect to acts of discrimination,
The State Legislation has expanded the mandate to include
discrimination in housing and credit and discrimination on the basis
of sex, age, and disability, The responsibility of the 9 member
Human Relations Commission generally lies in four areas of discrimina-
tion: 1) employment; 2) education; 3) housing; and 4) administration,
Each of these areas is governed by Civil Rights laws that have
enforcement through investigative procedure, The protection of the
law is available equally to all persons in the City of Salina,
During 1978 the Department, in cooperation with the Salina Area
Chamber of Commerce and the Human Relations Commission,
presented an Affirmative Action Workshop for contractors, vendors
and suppliers who do business with the City as well as City
Department heads and supervisors and area businesses, Other work-
shops were held for various companies and agencies at their
request, utilizing their staffs and Human Relations Director, Will Burnett,
The Department, in its role as monitor of the City's own affirmative
action plan, went through the process of changing the affirmative
action categorization and classification system to conform with the
City's reclassification of its employees, which was effective July 11978,
A new system has been established which contains cross-files of
each employee under job classification, department and name and
is changed each time an employee action takes place, This has
increased the efficiency of the monthly updating of the affirmative
action plan statistics,

The City of Salina Fire Department welcomes Fire Chief
Dave Robertson, Chief Robertson was empioyed November 13,
1978. He came from Richmond, Virginia, where he served as
Fire, Science & Technology Program Director for Virginia
Community Colleges. Prior to that. he served as a Fire
Protection Specialist with the National Fire Protection in
Boston, Massachusetts. Robertson is a North Dakota native
and began his fire service career in Jamestown, North Dakota.
Chief Robertson's employment follows the retirement of Chief
James Lacy who had served the city for 25 years in various
capacities.
The Salina Fire Department is more
than a fire-fighting organization - the
protection afforded City residents also
includes rescue and life-saving service,
investigation of fire causes, property
inspection to determine compliance
with City fire codes, and a continuing
service program of fire prevention
activities.
The department's primary objective
is fire prevention. A total of 2,380
inspections and special services were
performed in 1978. Included in this
total were 61 programs presented to
schools, civic groups, hospitals, nursing
homes and businesses.
The department provides programs
and services directed towards more
effective fire prevention and com-
munity awareness. Listed below are
the services presently offered through
the department.
".HOME FIRE SAFElY INSPECTIONS.
..ADVICE ON PURCHASING, USE AND
INSTALLATION OF SMOKE DE-
TECTORS.
".CARBON-MONOXIDE AND GAS
CHECKS.
".FIREPLACE INSPECTIONS.
".FIRE SAFElY & FIRE EXTINGUISHER
CLINICS.
...BABXSITTER'S CLINICS.
".BLlND AND INVALID SIGNS - RED
BALL STICKERS.
The Salina Fire Department responded
to 1,010 alarms in 1978. There was one
fatality due to fire related causes along
with a number of injuries. Total fire loss
for 1978 was S1,401,224.99. This high
dollar loss is due to two major fires.
St. John's Military School (left), suffered
heavy damage to the administration
building, which includes Vail and Gris-
wold Halls. Larson Lumber Company,
(right) was the scene of the second
major fire just two weeks later. This
fire involved two storage buildings that
contained milled and cabinet lumber.
These two structures were destroyed
along with the contents.
To complement the Fire Department's services, a 1978 Mini-
pumper has been added. This is a Chevrolet 11,000 GVW
4 x 4 with a front mount 500 GPM pump and a 250 gallon
booster tank. It is designed for quick response and has the
necessary rescue equipment to handle emergency situations.
Rescue Squad No. 1 is assigned to Fire Station No. 1 at 222
West Elm.
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ADVOCATES THE
INSTALLATION OF SMOKE DETECTORS IN
All RESIDENCES. THIS Will REDUCE
FIRE-RELATED INJURIES, DEATH AND
PROPERTY lOSS.

Conveying emergency information is vital to today's police,
medical and firefighting teams. During 1978 three new systems
were added to the present emergency communications
systems already available at the Salina Police Department.
An immediate replay machine has been installed (Above
photo). On an emergency call, the caller often makes things
difficult for the Dispatcher. The caller's speech is often fast,
confused, garbled, hysterical and hard to understand. The call
back message repeater automatically records the call so the
Dispatcher can play the message back as many times as
necessary to get all the necessary facts. Vital information can
be double checked for instant action. This differs from our
regular recordings in that it can be played back instantly
and with a minimum of effort on the part of the officer.
Secondly, a MAST helicopter, furnished by Ft. Riley, is now
available to Salina. A state program, financed by the two
Salina hospitals, now provides direct communications through
the police radio system from the hospitals to the helicopter.
This enables medical personnel on the helicopter to relay
vital information to the hospitals necessary for emergency
treatment of patients.
Also available is the NEAR system, funded by Saline
County, which is designed for medical emergencies. This
system consists of eight medical channels, providing direct
communications between the hospitals, doctors, police and
ambulances. It enables ambulance personnel to notify the
hospitals and alert them as to specific conditions of the
patient so that treatment can be anticipated by the hospital
personnel.

The skills and responsibilities of to-
day's police officer must encompass
broad areas of crime prevention,
apprehension of offenders, recovery
of stolen property and traffic enforce-
ment. Effective police protection re-
quires a continuous personnel training
program and application of modern
and scientific law enforcement tech-
niques. 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.
The department stepped up the
traffic enforcement program during
1978. A total of 4,748 speeding sum-
monses were issued in 1978, compared
to 1325 in 1977. Although the number
of accidents for the year did not
decrease, the number of serious
accidents did. This is related directly
to the increase in moving violations
summonses issued by the department.
The City of Salina was also fortunate
to have NO TRAFFIC FATALITIES IN
1978 THE FIRST YEAR SINCE
1975!

The Salina ASAP Program was initiated in 1978 by the Salina
Police Department. This program, totally funded by the Safety
Coordinating Office of the Kansas Department of Transportation,
is designed to reduce alcohol-related traffic accidents. The
police department is coordinating the detection and appre-
hension phase of the program. In addition to specialized
DWI training. equipment such as the Intoxilizer (Above photo).
was purchased to effectively process drivers with blood
alcohol levels of .10% or above.
Every authority on drinking and driving agrees that at least
50% of all fatal accidents involve drivers who have been
drinking. It is not just the heavy drinkers who are responsible. as
marginal DWI's cause just as many accidents. The intoxilizer
confirms a police officer's suspicion that the person tested is
under the influence of alcohol and not on hard drugs,
medication, or just sick. Having the results at the time of
apprehension avoids detention of the innocent and expedites
processing the offenders. It is a useful tool for the police
officer as pre-arrest processing can be expedited and blood
alcohol levels can be accurately defined. There were a total
of 376 DWI arrests in 1978, compared to 229 DWI arrests
in 1977.

Sweeping. . . cleaning . . . building . . . and maintaining is a
large order for Salina's "Municipal Housekeepers" - the Service
Department. We believe that a clean city is a proud one,
reflecting the conscientiousness on the part of its citizens and
employees. It requires cooperation between the general public
and the municipal service.
Work done by this jack-of-all-trades department includes
refuse collection and disposal, sign maintenance and installation,
flood control, fall leaf pick-up, snow and ice removal, river
bank maintenance, construction of barricades and guard rails,
and street and alley maintenance.
Maintenance of over 400 pieces of equipment necessitates
regularly scheduled lubrication, inspection and preventive
maintenance, as well as necessary overhauls. Each season
means a particular type of equipment must be serviced and
ready to go.
1978 started off with abundant potholes in our city streets,
but some 515 cubic yards of concrete, 2000 tons of asphalt
and many manhours later, barricades guarding these nuisances
began disappearing from the streets.
Our Sanitation Department served an average of 10,210
customers weekly and collected 46,324 cubic yards of refuse in
1978. Two dump trucks hauled 1,411 special loads of tree limbs
and items too bulky for our packer trucks.
The landfill, located on Burma Road southwest of Salina, is
available for use daily by all Saline County residents from
7:00 A.M. to 5:30 P.M., except Thanksgiving and Christmas.
An estimated average of 210 yards of space is used each day
for burying refuse.
The Services Department constructed two new slow pitch
baseball diamonds and gave the existing hardball and soft-
ball diamonds located in Schilling Subdivision a complete face
lift. A total of 5,454 cubic yards of soil and 2,259 manhours
was needed to complete the construction and re-construction
of these diamonds.
I
1..-........---
Each season brings its own special challenge to
Street Department personnel. Dependent on the
whims of Mother Nature, employees may be on
call 24 hours a day. Snow and ice mean full
manpower and equipment utilization.
Street Department crews removed Rock Island
Railroad tracks and road beds on Santa Fe Ave.,
Seventh, Ninth and Twelfth Streets, and installed a
hot-mix asphalt driving surface in these areas.
Water Department personnel review customer's accounts prior
to preparation of the City's water and sanitation bills. There
are over 15,433 meters in service, serving the immediate
population of Salina and the surrounding industrial parks. The
department utilizes the Cycle Billing System, whereby statements
are mailed at intervals, dated the 15th, 25th and 30th of each
month.
Of all services provided by the City of Salina, water is the
most essential and certainly the most frequently used com-
modity. The Salina Water and Sewerage Department provides
a supply of pure water and sanitary sewer service for Salina's
domestic, commercial and industrial needs.
During 1978, the water plant began operation of its new
sludge disposal system. This included three miles of 8" pipeline,
buried from the Water Treatment Plant to 76 acres of lagoon
area located just west of the Sewerage Treatment Plant
(northeast of the city) - (SEE PHOTO BELOW) This will serve as
a reclamation area for all lime and waste by-products from
the City's Water Treatment Plant. In addition, other comple-
mentary additions were included in this project so as to
conserve and/or reclaim more finished water for consumption
by the city. During the period of operation, approximately
4,500 gallons of lime sludge was pumped to the lagoon area.
The Water Plant produced 2 billion, two hundred ninety-four
million, four hundred thirty-six thousand (2,294,436,000) gallons
of water for the year. This averages approximately 6,286,126
gallons per day.

Your Health Department strives to provide services that will promote
the health of families and the community, by making the social and
physical environment of Salina and Saline County a pleasant and
healthy place for its families to live and grow.
Services and programs are offered which will provide the largest
number of individuals the greatest benefit. Throughout the year,
existing programs are evaluated and new programs are added to
meet the changing needs of the community. The Community Health
Department is supported by the people of Salina and Saline County
and its services are available to everyone without exception.
The Health Department holds weekly Immunization Clinics designed
to maintain and improve the immunization levels against communicable
diseases, especially in infants and young children. During 1978, 5,652
clients were seen in the general Immunization Clinic.
Family neglect and abuse of infants and children has become
increasingly visible in this community in the past few years. The
departmental nursing staff, at the request of physicians and Juvenile
Authorities, works with families toward making the home a place where
children can thrive, grow and develop in an emotionally, as we!1 as
physically healthy atmosphere.

The City-County Emergency Preparedness Department, located in
the Police Administration Building, provides services for coping with
disaster. "Disaster", in terms of this agency's responsibility, covers
natural phenomena, such as floods and tornadoes, in addition to
nuclear holocausts. Agency goals are early detection, prompt
citizen notification and utilization of locally available manpower,
equipment and medical resources. Effective communication is the
tool used to accomplish these goals. Communication networks are
established on the Federal, State and local level. Severe Weather
Seminars and Hazardous Materials Seminars are sponsored by the
local department to increase the effectiveness of the warning
network.
The Emergency Preparedness Department worked with the
Ambulance Service, the Police Department and medical personnel
in establishing the new MAST Communication System and the new
Ambulance-Hospital Communicatio.n System. This provides our com-
munity with a total communication concept in handling emergencies.
The Crisis Relocation Plan and the Shelter Update Plan were
completed in 1978. The Crisis Relocation Plan calls for the relocation
of the local population from the risk area, if time permits, to a host
area consisting of Ellsworth, ottawa, Lincoln, and Mitchell Counties.
This gives the City and County two alternatives - in-place shelter;
or relocating from the City and County to the above-mentioned
Counties.
