COMMISSION INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
September 19, 1980
VOL. 2, NO. 32
ITEMS OF INTEREST
1. I have received a copy of the Environment Assessment work sheet
for the proposed Post Office site between Elm and Ash, and Fourth
and Fifth Streets. The study was prepared by WAPORA, Inc. and
it is in conclusion that the project will not have an adverse
environmental impact and, therefore, they conclude a comprehen-
sive environmental impact study is not necessary.
If any Commissioners care to review the approximately 50-page docu-
ment, we will be happy to provide you a copy that is now handled
by the Planning Department.
2. The Corps of Engineers will conduct an inspection of the dike
system on October 22 and 23. It will start at 1:00 P.M. on the
22nd. Any Commissioner interested in attending this tour is
welcome. It will give you an opportunity to obtain a comprehen-
sive knowledge of the dike system.
We tend to take the dike system for granted now that it has been
in place so long; but as those with long memories know flooding
has been in the past and without the dike system would be today
a most serious problem in the City.
3. The Annual Meeting of the League of Kansas Municipalities will
be in Wichita on October 12, 13, and 14. It will be held in the
Holiday Inn Plaza, starting on Sunday afternoon at 1:45 P.M. and
continues through Tuesday. Enclosed is a copy of the agenda.
If you are interested in attending, please contact us. We have
already made hotel reservations. We would like to know by Monday,
September 22, if you are interested.
4. The next Focus Session is on September 25 at 3:30 P.M. We will
be discussing the fees and operation of the refuse collection
system and the landfill.
5. The Annual Meeting of the PAN American Highway Association will
be in Salina on October 9 at the Red Coach Inn starting at noon.
Enclosed is a copy of the program. Any Commissioner interested
in attending, please contact us. We will be happy to make your
reservations and pay for your attendance.
ADMINISTRATIVE BRIEFS
1. John Estes advises they plan to begin the landscape work at the
Animal Shelter October 6 and estimates it will take a couple of
weeks to complete it.
2. The excess dirt at the Bicentennial Center has been graded down
and seeded.
CIM - September 19, 1980

3. The Street Department has installed two additional handicapped
parking stalls on Santa Fe at the mid-block crosswalks. This
provides stalls on each side of the street in the 100 Block
north and the 100 Block south. In the 200 Block south, there
is one stall on the west side of the street. They were unable
to place one on the east side due to First State Bank's driveway.
4. The Personnel Department advises we have received verbal approval
for the extension of our CETA contract through January, 1981. The
present contract began February 1 and expires September 30. We
are authorized 7 positions of different classifications under the
contract.
5. Ron Tremblay has visited with Dan Hebert concerning Heath Auto
Salvage located on the northeast corner of Ohio and Pacific.
He will be sending a notice to Heath to make sure the material
is off the public right-of-way and screened. Of course, this
only applies to that portion which is inside of the City limits.
Ron feels they will be able to make some improvement in the situa-
tion or see that their salvage license is not renewed. Bill Harris
will discuss this matter with the County Commission to see if they
may have any suggestions to improve the County portion.
6. Enclosed is the Engineering Update.
7. Larry Justus has filed an Assignment of Franchise in accordance
with Ordinance #8544 whereby Salina Cable TV's franchise will be
assigned to Manhattan Cable; Communications Services, Inc., a
Kansas corporation. Larry stated there will be no change in the
services or local organization. It is simply an internal change
in the structure.
8. Enclosed is the Fire Prevention Week activities as planned by
the Fire Department.
9. At the Tri-Governmental Council meeting September 16, Mrs. Palmer
asked if the City and County would be willing to share in the
cost to provide a drug addiction counselor in the school system
as proposed by the Central Kansas Foundation on Alcoholism &
Chemical Dependency (CKF). The budget as presented to USD 305
by Ed Shepard in March, 1980, totaled $18,820. Mrs. Palmer was
asking if each agency would be willing to pick up one-third of
the cost.
There are presently two people working in the school. system with
the drug problem; one is funded by a grant obtained by CKF. This
person is working at the secondary level in what is known as the
Preventive Education Program or PEP. The other is titled Ele-
mentary Prevention Specialist. This position is being financed
by a one year grant obtained from the State by USD 305. This
person's role is more in the area of education on drugs and their
effects, as opposed to counseling or working with drug users.
CIM - September 19, 1980

Bill Harris has visited
Paul advises the Health
staff or the funds with
any way in this type of
with Paul Richardson on this subject.
Department does not have anyone on their
which to get involved or participate in
service.
Commissioner Graves asked that we pass this on to members of the
City Commission for their consideration. However, in visiting
with Ed Shepard and Dr. Sherraden, there seems to be some mis-
understanding or confusion as to the responsibilities, role, or
needs for the position. We will continue to visit with the
USD 305 staff and Ed Shepard and let you know what the outcome
is.
MONDAY'S MEETING
1. Reminder: There will be no Commission meeting on September 29,
as it is the fifth Monday of the month.
2. Enclosed are other items on the agenda. If any Commissioner
has any questions or cannot attend the meeting, please contact
me.

CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
Dear City Official:
On behalf of the Governing Body, Affiliated Association Officers and the
Staff of the League of Kansas Municipalities, it is my pleasure to invite you to
attend the 70th annual League conference and meetings of municipal associa-
tions to be held at the Holiday Inn Plaza in Wichita on October 12, 13 and 14.
From the opening workshops on Sunday afternoon to the closing session
on Tuesday afternoon, registrants wiH find a reoccurring theme: how cities
can cut costs, survive financially, and effectively deal with the growing
complexities of municipal government. Many major issues and problems will
be addressed, as you will note from the enclosed program.
Members are especially urged to attend an open policy development
meeting beginning at 3:00 on Sunday afternoon to provide direct membership
input into developing a proposed statement of municipal policy for considera-
tion by the conference resolutions committee and for conference adoption on
Tuesday morning.
Although today's demands on cities have prompted this year's conference
to be heavily problem-oriented, there will be excellent opportunities for
officials to enjoy themselves at a reception on Sunday evening and the
presidential reception, annual banquet and a special after-dinner show on
Monday evening.
This year's League conference will provide an opportunity for you to be
heard in developing municipal policy, to obtain up-to-date information on
many areas of municipal concern, and to meet other local officials from
throughout the state.
You can't afford to miss it . . . so please meet with us in Wichita!

Dear City Official:
As the mayor of the City of Wichita, it is a pleasure to
personally invite you to attend the 1980 City Conference
of the League of Kansas Municipalities scheduled at the
Holiday Inn Plaza, October 12-14.
A copy of the preliminary program for the conference and
affiliated association meetings, with the necessary hotel
room reservation forms and advanced registration materials,
is being sent to you along with this letter.
Ernie Mosher and his staff have planned an impressive
program, highlighted by an opening speech by Senator
Nancy Kassebaum and a Tuesday morning debate between
Senator Robert Dole and his opponent, John Simpson. In
addition, this year's program will tackle several critical
subject areas, including how cities can cut costs, water
supply planning, municipal highway financing and public
safety challenges.
A most enjoyable program has been planned for our spouses
on Monday and Tuesday. My wife, Jane, and I hope that your
spouse will be able to jOin you in Wichita and participate
in both the convention activities and the special spouses'
program.
My fellow commissioners and I look forward to welcoming you
to Wichita next month.
Sincerely,
~~

SUBJECT: FIRE PREVENTION WEEK Activities scheduled by the Salina Fire Department
for the week of October 5 - 11, 1980
The following elementary school activities are being planned during Fire
Prevention Week. Scheduling of these activities will be handled by the Salina
Fire Department's Fire Prevention Bureau. Participation in the activities will
include the entire Salina Fire Department. Our format will be changed somewhat
this year to include outdoor demonstrations.
A letter has been submitted to the superintendent of schools requesting per-
mission to meet with the school principals to set up a schedule for carrying out
our planned activities. We plan to begin contacting the principals on September
15, 1980.
On September 22nd, the Fire Prevention Bureau and Station #1 personnel will
attend the City Commission meeting for the reading of the Fire Prevention Week
proclamation. As soon as it has been read, we will leave and return to our normal
duties.
During the week of September 22nd we will assemble our schedules and prepare
the fire safety manuals for distribution to the schools. The schedule will be
returned to the schools on September 29th, so that the time and dates may be con-
firmed by each school.
October 2nd and 3rd, the School yard signs will be installed at each school
in the city.
This year's activities will include a fire drill at each school using a
'blocked exit'. If possible, an exit to be used by the third and fourth grade
students will be blocked. Upon completion of the drill, all students will
assemble in a pre-designated area to observe demonstrations by the Fire Department
personnel and to see the apparatus and equipment. The following demonstrations
will be carried out:
1. Dressing of two firefighters in protective clothing and breathing devices
2. Application of water with booster lines
3. Fire Department personnel jumping into the Life Net
The last part of the program will be the introduction of "Sparky", who is the new
Fire Department dalmation puppy.
Also scheduled to be conducted during Fire Prevention Week are a number of
radio spots and television programs, which, as yet, have not been determined.
