THE CITY ENGINEER reported on Petition Number 3500, which was filed
by Ora M. Dunkin a/k/a Ora M. Soldan, requesting city water service on Prospect
Avenue from the east line of Lot 18, Block 1, Cloverdale Addition to the east
end of Prospect Avenue, that liThe petition does not contain the required number
of signatures to be a val id petition. Due to the past and present use of septic
tanks in this area, many of the wells are becoming polluted. This fact is
confirmed by a letter from Dr. William Null, Health Officer for Salina-Saline
County Community Health Department, which shows 50% of the wells sampled on
Prospect Avenue to be contaminated and unsafe as a potable water supply.
lilt is our recommendation, in the interest of safety, health and
sanitation, that this request for city water service be approved and a
feasibility report be prepared.11
A motion was made by Commissioner Usher, seconded by Commissioner
Simpson to accept the recommendation of the City Engineer and instruct him to
prepare a feasibility report for the improvements. Ayes: (5). Nays: (0).

PUBLIC AGENDA
A REQUEST was received from George Etherington for permission to
construct two entranceway signs on publ ic right-of-way at the intersection of
Marymount Road and Country Hills Road.
Mr. Etherington was present and explained he had dedicated 7-1/2 feet
to the City for street right-of-way, and forgotten about an additional 7-1/2 feet
dedicated shortly after that, when he built the entranceways to Country Hills
Addition. He asked permission to leave them since they are already built, but
said he would post a cash bond to insure their removal at the time the City did
something with the street.
Mr. Bengtson explained that the City Commission may, upon application,
allow a person to construct on city right-of-way for aesthetic purposes under
such terms and conditions as they might wish to impose such as, in the event the
road is ever widened, the entranceway signs would be removed at the owners expens
A motion was made by Commissioner Duckers, seconded by Commissioner
Usher to allow Mr. Etherington to leave the entranceway signs on City right-of-
way for aesthetic purposes until such time as the city widens Marymount Road, at
which time the owner shall remove the entranceway signs at his expense.
Ayes: (5). Nays: (0). Motion carried.
COMMISSION AGENDA
Mr. Bengtson asked the City Commissioners to add an item to their
agenda for consideration concerning Industrial Revenue Bonds for the General
Battery Corporation.
A motion was made by Commissioner Simpson, seconded by Commissioner
Usher that the item be placed on the Commission Agenda for consideration.
Ayes: (5). Nays: (0). Motion carried.
Mr. Bengtson explained he had received a call from Goldman, Sachs in
New York, the brokerage firm that will be handling the financing of the industria
revenue bond issue for General Battery, about the necessity of submitting an
application to the Farm Home Administration to guarantee 90% of the financing
that is to be made for the construction of this $7,500,000.00 industrial revenue
bonds. The application must be made for General Battery in the name of the City
of Salina to the Farm Home Administration, and this action is recommended by
Mr. Jerry Powell of Stinson, Mag, Thomson, McEvers and Fizzell of Kansas City,
as legal counsel for the City of Salina in the issuance of industrial revenue
œnds. He suggested that if the Commission determines the necessity to make this
application that they authorize the Mayor to execute the application, subject to
the final approval by himself and Mr. Jerry Powell in Kansas City, as he has not
had time to go through these documents.
A motion was made by Commissioner Simpson, seconded by Commissioner
Weisgerber to authorize the Mayor to sign the application to the Farm Home
Administration, subject to final approval by Mr. Bengtson and Mr. Powell.
Ayes: (5). Nays: (0). Motion carried.

Commissioners:
