COMMISSION INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
August 8, 1980
VOL. 2, NO. 27
ITEMS OF INTEREST
1. The Bed Tax Committee has agreed to the City's proposal that
part of the bed tax revenues be allocated to provide financial
assistance for conventions held at the Bicentennial Center.
$10,000 will be allocated in the 1981 Conventions and Visitors
Budget for this purpose. The moneys will be used to assist
conventions of 400 or more persons spending at least one night
in Salina. The assistance may be in the form of rental rate
relief or any other assistance necessary to attract the group
to the Bicentennial Center. Mickey Yerger will be responsible
to determine the form and extent of the financial assistance.
The Bed Tax Committee has come to recognize, following a year
of good relations, that the Bicentennial Center has a positive
impact on their businesses and they were unanimous in supporting
this request. Enclosed is a copy of the proposal approved by
the Bed Tax Committee.
2. During the discussions on the speed limit matter on Ohio, the
question was raised about protected left turns along Ohio Street
in order to reduce traffic congestion. There are 20 intersections
along Ohio between Wayne and Greeley Avenues. There are 10 "T"
intersections and 8 full intersections.
Mr. Boyer estimates it will cost $185,600 to build the turn lanes
as detailed in the following list. You should remember that the
actual cost of this project would only be determined after bidding.
Attached is a list of the intersections and estimated cost.
3. Enclosed are reports from Chief Robertson and Chief Woody con-
cerning purchasing procedures for uniforms.
ADMINISTRATIVE BRIEFS
1. The City has had the policy of providing insurance companies,
building contractors, sprinkler companies, and so forth with
hydrant tests and water flow measurements. The tests have been
conducted by Fire Department personnel and, of course, there is
a cost associated with them. We are now looking into the pos-
sibility of charging for these tests and are developing a recom-
mendation for your review.
2. During the month of July, the City suffered substantial fire
damage. There was approximately $275,000 in fire loss in the
City. Enclosed is a report from Fire Marshal Brockway outlining
these fires.

3. . The Engineering Department has become aware of problems with the
sidewalk planters on Fifth and Seventh Streets settling and causing
offsets in the sidewalk. They are in the process of checking each
one to see what corrective measures may be taken. Any sidewalk
which causes a pedestrian hazard will be barricaded.
Ordinarily it is the property owner's responsibility to take care
of the sidewalks in. front of their property. However, it appears
we have a unique situation here where the City may haye to stand
the expense of the repairs.
4. The uniform violation summons authorized by Resolution #80-3497
has been printed and received by the Police Department. They in
turn will issue blocks of the summons to the other departments
which will be utilizing them.
Examples of uses for the summons are as follows:
Health Department
Police Department
-Refuse storage violations
-Other unsanitary conditions
Fire Department
-Animal control violations
-Disorderly conduct
-Disturbing the peace
-In fact, they can be used at
the discretion of the officer
for any misdemeanor. The
Police will continue to use
their regular ticket form
for traffic violations.
-Illegal paint spraying
operations
-Illegal possession and use of
fireworks
-Improper storage of flammable
materials and liquids
Permit & Inspection Dept.
-Zoning Violations
-Inoperable vehicles
-Violations of the building
related codes
5. The Bicentennial Center suffered some water damage from the Tuesday,
August 5, storm. Meeting Rooms 202-A, B, and C, which are on the
west side of the building above the Lobby area generally, suffered
carpet, water, wall, and sound panel damage. Also, approximately
72 square feet of carpeting in the reception area in the Adminis-
trative Offices was water damaged. Approximately 110 ceiling tiles
were damaged in the meeting rooms and Lobby. We have been in con-
tact with Shelby Willis to get this matter resolved.
6. In 1979, we closed the swimming pools on August 19. This prompted
considerable public reaction because the weather containued hot
well into September. This year we are planning to continue opera-
tion through Labor Day. We have to close the pools about that time
because our staffs are mostly young people of school age and they
must return to school.

We will have sufficient personnel to keep the Kenwood Pool open on
its regular schedule through August 24 and from 4:00 to 8:00 P.M.
on August 25 and 29; and from 1:00 to 8:00 P.M. on August 30, 31,
and September 1. To do this will require that Carver Pool be
closed August 24, and the Carver staff. members be utilized at Ken-
wood on August 25 through September 1.
7. The water treatment plant has been treating 100% well water this
week. The desilting basin which is the first stage of treatment
for the river water is not operational. A steel ring and guide
shoes at the bottom of the center column, which controls the mud
rakes in the bottom of the basin, are worn out. We are having
the replacement parts made and should have the basin back in
operation by August 14 or 15, 1980. The discriminating water user
may notice that the water is somewhat harder because residue will
remain after washing and boiling.
The rest of the mechanism is in poor condition and we will have
to consider replacing the complete mechanism when we go to well
water this winter.
8. Enclosed is the Planning Update.
MONDAY'S MEETING
1. Commissioner Graves will not be present at the meeting.
2. Enclosed is other information on the agenda. If any Commissioner
has any questions or cannot attend the meeting, please contact me.

PROPOSAL
Basic Concept - Allocate bed tax monies in 1981 Convention & Visitors
Bureau budget for financial assistance to conventions
held at Bicentennial Center.
Premise - The Bicentennial Center is the largest convention center in
the Salina trading area. By increasing convention activity
at the Bicentennial Center through the effective application
of bed-tax monies, business will also increase at local motels.
It will logically follow, therefore, that bed-tax revenue will
increase in proportion to the additional convention activity.
Administration -
1.) Allocate $10,000 in 1981 C&VB budget as a line item designated
Bicentennial Center convention assistance.
2.) Bicentennial Center conventions of at least 400 spending at
least one night in Salina should be considered for assistance.
3.) Requests should be considered by Bicentennial Center Manager on
an individual basis.
4.) Post-convention billing will be handled as follows: Bicentennial
Center t-1anager will submit bill to Chamber of Carrnerce Executive
Vice President for re-imbursernent.
5.) Should 1981 allocation be expended before the fiscal year is
completed, convention assistance requests thereafter should be
submitted to Chamber of Commerce / C&VB for consideration on a
convention by convention basis.
6.) Exceptions to the above criterea must be approved in advance by
C of C / C&VB.

Left turn lanes at intersections on South Ohio
Street between Wayne Avenue and Greeley Avenue
We propose to construct left turn lanes within the existing
median strip at ten (10) "T" intersections and eight (8) full
intersections, plus increasing the capacity of the existing
left turn lanes at the McAdams Road and Republic Avenue inter-
section.
Recent improvements that have been made on Ohio Street,
such as the slip-on frontage road south of Cloud Street and
the left turn lane on the south leg of the Ohio Street and
Shalimar Drive intersection, have been paid for by the
property developer that desired their use. Also, it has
been proposed that the left turn lane at Edison Place to
serve the Kansas Power & Light Co. complex be paid by the
developer.
The estimate of cost to complete the twenty (20) inter-
sections in paragraph one is $185,600.00.

AREA CODE 913 827-0411
August 6, 1980
TO: Mr. Bill Harris, Deputy City Manager
FROM: Dave Robertson, Fire Chief
SUBJECT: Purchase of Uniforms
During August of 1979, the Salina Fire Department decided to stop purchasing
their uniforms from Professional Uniforms and began buying them from Long's of
Salina. Several things lead to our decision to switch which are as follows:
1. On several orders Professional Uniforms had arbitrarily changed the
style and shade of color of the uniforms. This produced a rather unsightly
appearance when placed side by side.
2. The cool-weather jacket that was being purchased was switched to one
of ALL synthetic material. Our minimum standards require 25% cotton material
to protect the firefighters from burns.
3. Many orders had to be returned because of improper ordering of style.
4. Even though they promised to stock fire department uniforms, on several
occasions we found that the uniforms were not in stock when actually needed.
This meant that uniforms had to be ordered each time and lead to the can-
celling of an order for white uniform shirts after waiting for over three
months for them to arrive.
5. Professional Uniforms would 'hold' several single orders in order to
get "quantity" prices from the supplier, which I do not feel were passed on.
For example, they required a minimum hat order of between 8 and 12. The
Fire Department does not purchase that many hats in a single year. And when
the hats we ordered finally arrived, they were of a different material and
shade of color from the other hats being worn.
6. We were being charged for alterations and they often took up to two
weeks to complete them.
7. Pricing of items was not consistent and on many occasions Professional
Uniforms had to be contacted about billing problems, attempts to charge for
re-shelving returned items, and double billings.

8. Professional Uniform did not want to re-stock and/or store clothing
(both new and used) turned in by firefighters leaving the force. These
uniforms were to be redistributed, as needed, to replace damaged clothing
or, if in excellent condition, issued as a 'newl uniform to our firefighters.
9. After shopping for a new manufacturer who could supply us with con-
sistent styling and coloring of uniforms, Lyon Uniform Company asked us 'if
we might not be able to locate another supplier who would be willing to
meet our requirements.
10. We found that the prices we were paying for uniforms was higher than
those we could obtain from Long's.
In searching for a new supplier in town, we visited with both the Salina
Police Department and the Saline County Sheriff's Office regarding their dealings
and the service they were getting from their supplier, Long's. We had also been
purchasing some of our uniform shoes and fire boots from Long's and had received
good service. Therefore, Long's of Salina was chosen to supply our uniforms.
We also based our choice on the following considerations:
1. Their sample pricing was more competitive than those from Professional
Uniforms.
2. Lyon Uniform Company found them to be a most qualified retailer to
handle their line of uniforms.
3. They agreed to stock, in quantity, our uniforms, which they have done.
Presently, they have 106 pants, 120 shirts, and 24 ties in stock. They
also have on order 12 pants and 30 shirts. By their records, this is the
lowest that their stock has ever been, but they are working to rebuild it
'in preparation for our major purchases during the first quarter of 1981.
They hope to have five times the present stock by then.
4. Long's agreed to make normal alterations at no extra charge, and major
alterations made by them have been between fifty cents and a dollar.
5. They restock our returned items at Ino charge" and have always stood
behind their merchandise completely.
6. Clothing returned by firefighters leaving the department is inventoried
and stored by Long I s at no extra cost. If one of our fi ref; ghters needs
part or all of a uniform, they check this stock first to see if we already
own clothing which is servicable and issue them if available.
Lyon Uniform Company, with whom we have worked closely, considers Long's as
their only distributor in this area. To switch from their uniform, now, would
again alter the "uniformll look of the 66 firefighters.
It is also relevant to point,out at this time that we purchase coveralls
and overshoes at Sears, belts and boots from Mel IS Tack & Saddle Shop, and dress
jackets from Professional Uniforms.

The clothing program adopted by the Salina Fire Department for use in 1980 is
based on an allowance system. Each person working a 24-hour shift receives a
"paper account" of $100.00. They may buy their uniform clothing from any approved
vendor (those carrying clothing meeting Fire Department specifications as to style,
color, and material and with whom we have established a credit policy). If a fire-
. fighter, due to personal taste in shoes or to unnecessary roughness or neglect of
clothing, needs to purchase additional clothing, he must pay any difference (over
the SlOO.OO) out of his own pocket. Provisions have been made, however, for the
department to replace all or parts of a uniform which becomes damaged at a fire if
the Captain recommends it. Provided, or course, that there is enough money in that
budget line and that it does not infringe upon the others' allowances.
Each firefighter is personally responsible for getting measured and fitted,
having the uniform altered, and then checking to be sure the alterations are correct.
When he is satisified, he signs the sales slip and turns it in to the Asst. Chief.
The sales slips are matched against Long's billing and then processed for payment
in the usual manner. Should a firefighter find fault with the workmanship of a
uniform, it is his responsibility to return it to the vendor for repair or exchange.
This program has, in our estimation, worked well. The only significant com-
plaint seems to be that the money allotted is not enough. But, the amount was based
upon our 1980 Approved Budget.
We have worked very closely with Lyon Uniform Company and Long's to provide
the Salina Fire Department and the City of Salina with the best price for good
quality clothing for the department. (Lyon presently supplies uniforms for several
fi re departments in Kansas and for many of the 1 argest departments in the United
States.) A system was worked out to provide much lower prices than those quoted
by Professional Uniform and they will give us a minimum of 30 day's notice of any
price changes. If a savings can be made by a quantity-purchase from the manufac-
turer, we are alerted of it and the savings is passed on to us. We did this with
our last hat order. Also, we purchase over 90% of our uniforms and shoes during
January and February to avoid possible price increases which would cut into our
budget. Long's worked closely with us in preparing next year's budget by providing
anticipated pricing of their 1981 stock.
r do not feel that it would be in the best interest of the Fire Department to
place our uniform purchases on a bid system. The disadvantages of this would, r
believe, far outweigh the advantages. A new' company may not wish to stock a large
amount of clothing or be willing to put up with the hassle of storing and issuing
'used' uniforms. Also, we are very satisified with the quality of the Lyon uniform
and have a good working relationship with the manufacturer. Their company represent-
atives have visited.. us several times this year and they are wl'll ing to guarantee
that even with known changes coming that they will maintain the same styles and color
shades so that all our uniforms will look similar. And, placing uniforms up for bid
does not assure us of better pricing, better quality, or better service. It has
taken us some time to rid ourselves of these problems; we do not wish to put up with
them again and again. We might even have to deal with an out-of~town vendor.
Once a company such as Long's is forced into a bid situation, they may come to
feel that their current high level of service is not worth maintaining because of
all the headaches involved.

The Salina Fire Department has put much thought and effort into developing
their purchasing practices and carrying them out in a legitimate manner. An
earnest effort has been given toward improving uniforms, equipment, and the like
while still maintaining sound budgeting and purchasing practices. If anyone wishes
to inspect our buying procedures, they may come to the Fire Department any time
during business hours and we will be glad to show them our process. What we purchase,
from whom, and how much is paid for each item is open to the publ ic.
We met with Mr. Ray of Professional Uniforms several times during 1979 trying
to workout our problems, but to little avail. When we did decide to change
vendors, Chief Seagraves informed Mr. Ray of our decision. In addition, we purchased
his stock of blue shirts so that he would not be shouldered with the responsibility
of returning them to the manufacturer. We did not buy the white shirts because
the order had been cance 11 ed and the sh i rts purchased elsewhere. Profess i ona 1
Uniforms finally did receive the shirts, but we did not feel it was our responsibility
to purchase them. However, we continued to purchase hats, overcoats, dress jackets,
and the officers. dress pants from them until these ttems also became a burden for
them to stock and ordering problems surfaced. Although relatively few are purchased
yearly, we are ~till buying dress jackets from them.
[ reaTiz.e that Mr. Ray of Professional Uniforms has become a loud voice for the
downtown business people and possibly other individuals. But, if we are forced to
change our buying practices in this instance, we may be faced with opeing up to bid
all purchases, including rags and screws, every time some vendor in the city feels
he should have the business instead of the current supplier. This could become
quite cumbersome and even costly to the City.
I hope his memo is helpful in explaining our position. If you or any of the
commissioners have any other questions regarding this matter, Chief Seagraves or I
will be glad to answer them.

CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
Prior to November 22, 1977, we decided to change uniforms from the pink and grey
gaberdine and wool uniforms, to the present dark blue double knit. Lacking
experience and knowledge in material, we decided to contact someone that would
be more knowledgable in the field. We selected Mr. Phil Ray of Professional
Uniforms, and Mr. Glen Long of Long's Department Store. Mr. Ray furnished us
a couple of samples as did Glen Long of Long's, John Cummings of Brick's Men's
Wear in Wichita, and Spence Johnson of J.B. Battle Uniform Co. We also invited
anyone interested to supply us with samples and to bid on uniforms for the
entire department.
Our requirements of each bidder was that they maintain a stock of various sizes
of uniforms so that we wouldn't have to wait for long periods of time to outfit
a new officer or to replace worn or damaged uniforms, to provide for alterations
and the sewing of patches, and to maintain a storage area for used uniforms turned
in by officers terminating employment with the city. Professional Uniforms and
Long's Department Store both agreed to these conditions. Mr. Spence Johnson said.
he could not maintain a stock.
The type of uniform we wanted was finally selected. The shirt was a sample from
Mr. Phil Ray's entries, and the trousers were from Mr. Long's samples. All persons
were allowed to examine these articles, brand names, and asked to bid on that
particular brand name or an equal quality garmet. Attached are the bids from all
companies including those that couldn't maintain a stock. As you can see in these
bids, Long's Department Store was the low bidder.
We have been doing business with Long's since that time and have been satisfied
with the services provided. We have had to wait a minimum of time for new
uniforms, alterations have been good, and they also supply the winter coats and
boots the officers wear, which makes it a one-stop store for us to entirely
uniform a police officer; however we also encourage officers to buy shoes and
boots at other stores in Salina.
We felt we were being fair to all persons interested in bidding. Mr. Ray was
involved in setting up the requirements and certainly had the opportunity to
be the low bidder.
On August 6,1980, at about 4:00 p.m., Assistant Chief Wilson, Captain Huff and
myself met with Mr. Phil Ray at the Hilton Inn to discuss the complaints made to
the City Commission in regard to our purchasing uniforms. He was reminded of the
procedures used in November, 1977 and the fact that he had supplied a sample of
clothing which we had selected. He agreed that he had an equal opportunity to bid
on the uniforms. He did say, however, that he felt we should have bids on our
uniforms every year. We explained to him that in our opinion this wouldn't be
practical, that as long as we were receiving satisfactory service, we would rather
not change.

August 7, 1980
Mr. Long had set in a good stock for our benefit and has trained one person to take
care of our uniform needs, such as sizes, alterations, record keeping, etc., and
has arranged for a seamstress to sew on the patches.
During this conversation, Phil agreed that perhaps he was treated fairly in regard
to our uniforms, however he felt that the Fire Department and Street Department
were not treating him fairly. He said that he would contact the City Manager and
each of the commissioners and straighten the matter out in regard to the Police
Department and the fact that he did get the opportunity to bid on our uniforms.
For your information, we do purchase our Humane Officers uniforms from Phil Ray.
Attached are copies of correspondence and price lists received at the time of
our uniform purchase. Hoping this is the information you desire,

Dear r1r. Woody:
Thank you for giving us the opportunity of bidding
for the Salina Police Department uniforms. .
We hope that the program works out for you and
regret that we were u~able to be more competitive for
your business however we feel extending discounts will
never replace service.

,
My Secretary has advised that she has already talked with you
on the telephone so you are aware that you did not get the bid
for furnishing our department with uniforms. A lower bid was
received and accepted.
All I can say is .that we do appreciate all your time and effort
in helping us select our uniform. The shirt you found and
brought in to us for our consideration, was the shirt selected.
For this, we are truly grateful.
In closing, thanks again for your help and interest. I know
you would have done a good job for us and can see why your store
is so successful. Please let us know if the Salina Police Depart-
ment can ever be of assistance to ,you.
SincerelYt

Dear Mr. CUmmings:
..
After several weeks now, we are returning to you the 'two pair
of pants and the two shirts you sent to us for our examination
and approval.
We want to thank you for all your assistance in helping us
make our selection. Having these different styles a.."ld fabrics
on hand helped us in our many hours of thought and discussion,
to make the selection we felt would be the most satisfactory
uniform for our department.
, One of your pants, the Foresight Knit with Visa, was the pant .
selected, however a local firm has agreed to stock them for us
at a competitive price.
In closing, thanks again for your help and interest. Perhaps the
Salina Police Department can do business with Brick r s sometime
in the future.
Sincerely,
John Woody
Chief of Police

Mr. and Mrs Dick Carder and Family
Total - Structure $80,000.00
Contents $20,000.00
Under Investigation
The Carder's left to go on vacation July 10, 1980 and returned home July 13, 1980.
In this time period a fire started in the basement at floor level. It spread up
to the basement ceiling joist. The heat build-up melted the solder joints on a hard
copper water pipe, which extinguished the fire below it. The running water continued
to fill the basement. The fire had spread to the east side of the water pipe and
apparently continued to smolder. When the Carders returned home July 13, 1980, at
approximately 5:30 PM, they noticed about three (3) feet of water in the basement.
The water was shut off, but the fire department was not called. The following morning,
July 14, 1980, at 4:28 AM, the Fire Department received a call and the structure was
fully involved. No injuries reported.

Special Education Center
usn *305 - 300 West Ash
Approximately $35,000.00 - $50,000.00
It is the opinion of the Salina Fire Department that
spontaneous combustion caused the fire.
The fire occurred in the northeast shop room where supplies were stored. Point of
origin appears to the southwest corner of the room next to a set of hall-way doors.
In this corner was a group of bull t- in cabinets used for storage. The storage consisted
of rolls of paper, burlap, all types of fabrics and other supplies. There were no
evidence of any electrical appliances, short circuits, open flames or any other failures
of this type. We believe the. type of material and supplies stored prior to the fire
contributed to the cause. One (1) firefighter suffered heat exhaustion.
