STAFF AGENDA
AN ORDINANCE was introduced for second reading entitled: "AN ORDINANCE
authorizing the issuance of Internal Improvement Bonds of the City of Salina,
Kansas, in the sum of $888,000.00, to pay the cost of curbing, guttering, paving,
sanitary sewer, storm sewer and water main improvements in the City, to be

Carried. The Mayor approved the Ordinance and it is numbered 8604. The ordinance
was introduced October 31, 1977.
AN ORDINANCE was introduced for second reading entitled: "AN ORDINANCE
adopting, by reference, the 1978 Edition of the National Electrical Code; amending;
Section 9-179 of the Salina Code and repealing said original section." A motion
was made by Commissioner Graves, seconded by Commissioner Weisgerber to adopt
the ordinance as read and the following vote was had: Ayes: Geis, Graves,
Simpson, Weisgerber, Duckers (5). Nays: (0). Carried. The Mayor approved the
Ordinance and it is numbered 8605. The ordinance was introduced for first
reading October 31, 1977.
The Commissioners considered an ordinance providing for the amendment
of Ordinance Number 8526, the same being Chapter 36 of the Salina Code, and the
Zoning District Map therein and thereby adopted and providing for the rezoning
of certain property within the City and prescribing the proper uses thereof.
(Rezoning of Country Club Heights Addition Number 5 from District A-1 to R-1,
requested in Z77-18).
PETITION NUMBER 3666 was filed by Peter L. Peterson requesting
reconsideration of the rezoning of Country Club Heights Addition Number 5 -from
agricultural to residential; and for reconsideration of the plat, as presently
approved for such Addition Number 5, for the reasons that the provisions for
water drainage and run-off from such Addition Number 5 are inadequate and likely
to cause severe damage to homeowners in adjacent additions.
1)
i
PETITION NUMBER 3667 was filed by owners of real estate located witF
200 feet of property proposed to be rezoned, protest the proposed change of
zoning for property described in Application Number Z77-18, zone change from P
to R-1 located on all lots in Blocks 1 to 6, Country Club Heights Addition
Number 5.
Mr. Peter L. Peterson was present speaking for the protestors. He
distributed a map of the area prepared to show how the area drains, and showec
j the City Commissioners pictures of how the water collects in the area. He sai
the petitioners are not opposed to the rezoning of Country Club Heights Additi
# 5 to R-1, but they are opposed to that rezoning in the absence of some
consideration to the drainage problem what flows in that area. He said that
area is right for residential expansion, that residential homes is the highest
and best use of that land, not a wheat field; but not in the absence of some
thorough investigation and consideration of a water drainage in that area. He
said the assumption thus far has obviously been that this small natural draine
stream through that area will be sufficient to carry the flow, and up until
this time that little stream has carried the flow, very precariously near the
brim, but it has carried the flow. He said the point is, with the expansion 1
the south, it will no longer be sufficient.
Commissioner Simpson asked the City Engineer for a map of the area to
the north, in Country Club Estates Addition.
The City Engineer, City Manager, Mr. Peterson approached the bench and
discussed the drainage problem.
Dr. Milo Sloo was present questioning the size of tubes over a box
culvert.
A motion was made by Commissioner Simpson, seconded by Commissioner
Graves that the ordinance and petitions be tabled for information on the exact
size on the culvert or box at # 1, the exact sizes of the boxes at # 3 and # 4;
explore the possibility of obtaining an easement from point # 2, which is at the
north edge of the proposed addition on through to hook up at the existing channel
now behind Lot 2, Country Club Heights Addition Number 3: to get an idea of the
cost of doing this and explore the funding, whether it be in a benefit district,
or a portion, and a portion to the City -at -large or exactly how it should be
done and how it should be funded. Ayes: (5). Nays: (0). Motion carried.
THE CITY ENGINEER filed plans and specifications for Engineering
Project 77-627 for improvements in Dow Addition, as requested in Petition Number

COMMISSION AGENDA
"DISCUSSION OF THE PARK ADVISORY BOARD AND PROFESSIONAL PARK STUDY"
(Sponsored by Commissioner Simpson).
Commissioner Simpson - Mr. Mayor and Commissioners, I would like to
make a brief statement on this item on the Commission agenda. The last time the
City had a park survey and study was 1967. In reviewing that program it is
obvious that some of the items mentioned in that report have been addressed and
others are in process, but I think it is time for an update of that study to
review our existing facilities and to plan and to do some planning and development
for the future. I would suggest that a professional consulting firm be hired to
assist the City and the City Commission in the three following areas: 1. To
update the 1967 park study. 2. To review and critique the South Salina park
4
plan as presented by the members of our staff and endorsed in concept by this
Commission. And to those young people who presented that plan, this is not in
the way of a criticism or second guessing, because I think they are talented
people. I think they are concerned citizens. They are good employees of the
city and I think they have done a good job. The fact remains that neither they
nor any member of this City Commission, nor most of the individuals that I have
talked to since that time have designed a park that is now in existence. I
think this needs a professional review and professional recommendations. The
3rd area I would like to call upon a professional consulting firm to address is
to assist the Commission in developing the scope of duties and responsibilities
of a citizens advisory park board. It seems that the firms that are capable of
doing park studies and park surveys would have experience in this area and
should be able to relate that experience to us. There are at least 2 citizens
groups in this community and other individuals who have expressed an interest in
providing input into a discussion of a park board. I would certainly welcome
that input and would also welcome the input of a professional consulting firm.
It has been suggested that the Commission acted in haste in approving the concept
of the South Salina Park without citizen input or professional advice. If that
is the case let us not repeat the error. I would recommend an orderly and yet a
timely professional study of the entire scope of park related items and that
this be done before the Commission takes further action in this area.
Commissioner Weisgerber - I would go along with that, what seems to me
perhaps logical since the last park survey that was done was done by Bucher and
Willis, and since I think in areas of the flood control out south we went to the
engineering firm who had worked on that in the past and had those past records
to build on. That particular project went to Wilson and Company. In this
particular case the records and the past park study was done by Bucher and
Willis. They have those records and thinking to build on. Both these firms
have considerable expertise in this area and are considered to be quite capable
around the state in this area, but I wondered if you would suggest or intended
to name a consultant or if we might go ahead and give this particular project to
Bucher and Willis, to update their study and include these other things in the
study.
Simpson - Well, my personal feeling at this time would be not to
select a firm today, but following my suggestion on this matter several weeks
ago we had some inquiries from the local firms as well as the out of town firms.
I would like to have the opportunity to review those responses to that suggestion
and get an idea about the scope of the study as to time and cost before it is ...
Commissioner Graves - ... I am wondering if we want to limit it to
parks, or are we talking about parks and recreation? Or would we let the firm
that we choose decide that?
Commissioner Simpson - I don't know that I have a particular strong
feeling about that at this time. That is why I would like to review the replies
we had from those particular engineering firms, try to get their feeling on it.
Commissioner Graves - A great deal of work has already been done by
the League of Women Voters. There is an absolute wealth of information. The
attitude surveys, you know they have done practically the work of a consulting
firm and there is even more that we haven't even seen or heard that they have.
Commissioner Simpson - I think they have done an excellent job in
gathering data, and getting some information available, but as it relates to the
South Salina Park plan, I think I would feel more comfortable to have professional
review that data, review that information, review the recommendations.
Commissioner Geis - What kind of things, Jerry, would you expect a
professional to comment on in that South Salina Park plan? Do you have some
feelings that there is something there that we ...
Commissioner Simpson - No, I really don't, Dan. I don't know that we
have overlooked, or the people have over looked anything in that park, but I
just think when we are talking about that kind of a program, that kind of design
would feel more comfortable if a professional who had designed a park that is
now in existance, had some experience in that area had some input into it.
Commissioner Geis - If the professionals having reviewed it, came up
with a vastly different plan would you be in favor of scrapping the one that has
been presented ..?

LJ
c,
Commissioner Simpson - Not necessarily, I think they would have to
develop their rationale and present it to us as to why it should be radically
changed. I doubt there would be any radical changes, but there might be some
changes within the basic plan itself, without changing the whole concept of it.
Commissioner Geis - I was very much impressed with the plan presented to
us... I guess I agree with you on 2 of the 3 things. I don't really know that
it is necessary to spend money to update that '67 study, if that would mean
redoing. I would like to have some professional help in establishing the park
board, and I can see that perhaps a review of that South Salina Park plan might
not be a bad idea, but I don't know that I would want to go to a whole new park
stud because we have
Y� got those stacks and stacks of studies and what have they
ever done?
Commissioner Simpson - It might seem though that at least a professional
firm could assess our present situation and see what has been done and what
needs to be changed. Help us develop a future plan for development. We talked
about land acquisition, we talked about its being addressed in subdividion
discussions at the present time, dedication of space for public use, and kind of
tie that in.
Commissioner Weisgerber - I certainly agree with that, my only question
was in using the consultant on that that we have had in the past and building on
that rather than taking a new consultant and starting it all over. I think the
city has sort of had a little bit of a policy in the past that we have got a
number of extremely capable engineering firms in Salina and certain phases of
the city work have kind of drifted to one or the other and they have done competent
jobs in the past on those. I would feel comfortable, certainly, in doing this
way. There has been a lot of talk about how quickly this has been done, and yet
we have had this property for several years and it seems to me it is taking far
too long to get it done as it is, rather than being a thing that has been hurried.!
As I have mentioned many times, until we get trees planted out there and get
trees growing and get shade, the park isn't going to have much use. We have
gone several years without tree planting, but I think it is necessary to get
that done. As soon as we move on that we just save one year in the use of the
park for each time we can get those trees in. The rest of the design some of
that can be changed and come a little later. Tree planting I think is important
to get done. i
Commissioner Graves - I was the most vocal critic the last time we
talked about this. I wasn't really criticizing the park plan, I was, you know
this is 1977 and people want to have a voice in the decision making. I felt it
was so hurried up that no one had had a chance to say what they wanted in their
park, out in their part of town with their tax dollars. That is why I thought
it had happened so quickly and I understand Jack's position about the tree
planting and I know you have been frustrated because you wanted to get it going
for two years, but ...
Mayor Duckers - It isn't like, Karen, that park hadn't been planned
and had thought. You know we budgeted for and bought and purchased a machine to
move those trees which were going to become available the first of October, 1977
months and months ago. And it is the first of October and it is the time to
plant trees. Jerry, I agree very much with all three of your points. I would
just simply like to elaborate; somehow I am beginning to resent, not your referral
but the public referral to these three kids that designed the park. These three
kids happen to be professional, graduates they are 28 and 29 years old. They
possess 4 college degrees in horticulture, recreation and urban forestry among
the three of them. They have been employed and they have worked in this area
and beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Certainly someone could critique
that and throw it clear out and say it won't work; but I have been out there
personally today and am amazed at what they have done in the moving of these
trees and I would ask any of you, or any citizen that is interested to go out
and see what has been done in moving trees that we got free of cost to the city.
Now this doesn't lock in, this design that they have come with. It is not
carved out of stone, but at least the trees that have been placed out there now
are not wasted. We know where the essential drives are going to be, the entrances
f
are going to be. I also have a thorny question - I want to pass this around.
This is part of the Osage orange that was bulldozed out and I hardly think that
this is the type of thing that would have enhanced any park, picture if you will
Oakdale or Sunset with this thing running diagonally across it for children to
climb in. I don't really think it enhances it.
Commissioner Weisgerber - Keith, I have a tendency to call these young
people kids too, but you have got to remember when you come along to my age
anybody that is under about 38 looks like a kid.
Mayor Duckers - I think the public needs to know that these are not
just someone who sat down and scratched something out. They are professional
people. They have done a wonderful job and a service, for the most part, on
their own free time. They designed this at night.
Commissioner Weisgerber - I am happy with the plan as it was presented,
but at the same time I am certainly willing to go along with Jerry, if he feels
this would be a good thing to do. I think if a consultant is fair and honest
!and I am sure they would be with this work, they may really not find too much to
'change about that park which would be a good backing, or would be actually
;helpful to the "kids" who did the design work. It is true that the consultants
,who have operated, and again thinking of what people out there may say they want
for whatever, and of course these young folks work for the park listen to that
'pretty carefully. And one reason they came up with the design they did is because
in their park work they have been listening to what people told them. But a
consultant is in a position to survey the works, the parks, their use, their
'location, how they fit in with population concentrations, all of this, from his
work all over the state or even a wider area. That is something that perhaps
'these young folks cannot do, nor can the League do, nor can we do, nor anyone
!else, because we don't have that overall view that a consultant does have.
Mrs. A. Jeffrey (Sharon) Denton, 810 Neal, President of the League of
;Women Voters - The league is somewhat dismayed that you are considering hiring a
;consultant at this particular moment. Perhaps there was a misunderstanding on
;the part of the League, but after we met with you on August 29th, we came away
:with the impression that we were going to do at least part of what you are now
,proposing to pay a consultant to do, and I would like to read from the minutes
!of that August 29th commission meeting. 'Commissioner Simpson said I would ...
!draw out information that we think is still applicable.' We anticipated a
!chance to sit down with the Commission, at a meeting similar to what you had
,with the energy usage committee today, around a table at another meeting away
(from commission meeting time, and really look at this. Perhaps we misunderstood.
'Perhaps this is something that is not really the bailiwick of the Commission, in
!that maybe your position is one step removed from actually sitting down and
!grinding over the plans, but it would be our hope that maybe you would let us
.work with the City Attorney in drawing up an ordinance to establish a park
board. Let this board be established, let us work with this board to present
the information that we have. I feel we are fully capable of looking over these
;plans that have been presented and paid very dearly for in the past by these
'engineering and consulting firms. At least give them a chance to focus in on
!the areas. It seems to me like to pay out additional money to a consultant when
!we really don't have a focus, is money lost. I think we can work, the league
'can work, with a citizens advisory park board to focus the studies into the
areas. Then we can hire someone to look at a specific plan or to aid in some
;specific area, but to -pay somebody for a rehash, I think this is a job a lay
'board can do, and I really would like for the league to have an opportunity to
!work with this board. We have taken considerable time and considerable expense
in the hope that we would be able to do this, and frankly we feel kind of
trompled on.
Commissioner Simpson - Well, I am sorry you feel that way but, I guess I
'what frustrates me is to think that we couldn't sit down with professionals and !j
;review your information that you have developed, review your ideas, and perhaps
ideas of others and come up with an advisory board concept, a park plan concept !
;through that basis. Many, many citizens had input into the Bicentennial Center,
;the engineering firm met with I don't know how many groups of people, of
:interested individuals and interested groups, and got their input. That was !�
.taken into consideration in the design concept and then presented back to the ')
'Commission. What I am saying is, I have not designed a park. I have not conducte�j
'1
�i
'i
i
a park study or a park survey. I have not drawn an ordinance to set up a park
advisory board. I think there are professionals who have, and with citizen
?input, in particular your organization who has done a tremendous amount of work
11 on that, putting information through or sitting down with the Commission and the
consulting firm together and other interested individuals, and working it out.
!Now if you feel that we can get by, or do all of this without professional help,
?professional advice, you know that is something the Commission then has to
decide upon. But as I say, I think there is something to be said for the voice
=of experience in these areas.
Commissioner Weisgerber - I think there is a lot to be said by doing
it the way we did with the Bicentennial building, by asking the League of Women
Voters to work with a professional and members of the Audubon Society that we
know have a particular interest and others too and channel that either through
the professional or in combination with them and us is what you are saying.
Commissioner Simpson - It would seem that the work you have done would
not be at all wasted. It would save a tremendous amount of time and money
certainly for someone to at this point in time to take your input and the data
you developed, and sit down with you and with us and see where we need to go
from there.
Mrs. Kenneth (Lal) Baker, Route 5, chairperson of the study group of
the League of Women Voters, was present asking the City Commission to set a date
and time to meet with the league members to go over the previous studies. "I am
not suggesting that you do not need another professional study, but I am suggesting
that you do need to be acquainted with the past studies. Have any of you read
any of the past studies?"
Commissioner Graves - We have read all of them. You see we are a
!policy making group. We basically can't sit and listen, day in and day out to
;every board and commission. I wish we could, but we are spending 30 and 40 hour
!?weeks on this. At some point we have got to say we don't know all there is on
this subject. We have got to spend a few bucks and get a professional hint, and
I I'll swear I can't sit down and spend 6 hours looking at that.
Commissioner Weisgerber - This is exactly what you asked me for, was
11to have a professional look at this when you were talking with me and that is
inexactly what we are trying to do right now...
i
Mrs. Baker - I have one other comment that goes back to the Southeast
!.Park, and I am again speaking as an individual. A landscape designer or architecti'
?would have taken that ground, would have perhaps would have, there are always
'exceptions in each of us as an individual, would have taken that land knowing
!j that they want to incorporate a natural area of prairie grass, you would have
11looked at that ground, seen a natural area already there. I am not suggesting
Ithat you encourage children to play on trees that have thorns that big, but
?'surely you incorporate what natural things are there into the plan before you
??start hacking everything down. I know that from first hand experience. If you
11will read in your Wilson and Company study done in 1964, right in there it says
Ithe first thing that is done is you take into account all of the natural assets
,of the site and you incorporate them as best you can, not always, not all the
(time, but to whack the whole thing out and start anew is ridiculous, and where
J
ts your - that is the only natural windbreak on that site and to tear down an
;existing windbreak to plant new trees doesn't make sense. I am not denying that
,you don't have qualified people in the department, but I do agree very much with
';Jerry that you need to have - experience speaks. That is all I have to say.
ii
Mayor Duckers - We have a suggestion, the League would like to meet
Iwith the Commission at a mutually convenient time.
I�
Commissioner Geis - I would be in favor of such a meeting, even though
'in the future we might find it necessary to go through it again. I would feel a
!1
little more comfortable having the background.

Commissioner Simpson - What would be the scope of your report, timewise
Mrs. Baker - Timewise, probably 2 to 3 hours.
Commissioner Simpson - Let me see, the energy people, and the school
board and County are to meet on the 21st. ... I would, put it on the Commission
agenda next week, and however long it takes, if we go to 6 o'clock, 7 o'clock, 8
o'clock, whatever time is necessary to give you the opportunity to discuss this
with the Commission.
Mayor Duckers - Let's put it the last item on the agenda, then if
people want to leave, they can.
Mrs. Baker - Alright that would be fine.
Commissioner Simpson - I move that prior to December 1, 1977, the
Commission choose a professional consulting firm to work on the three areas
outlined in my recommendations, and that as the last item on the Commission
agenda for the November 14th meeting we will hear a report from the League of
Women Voters regarding the park study.
Commissioner Geis - I'll second it.
Commissioner Weisgerber - I wish we had a consultant ...
Commissioner Simpson - Well, it would be helpful but I think the League
can get their input to us, and then they can meet with the consultant. The
consultant will eventually get back to us with their recommendations and the
basis for their recommendations.
Mayor Duckers - Sharon, I would like to echo what has been said before,
even though we might not be completely on the same wave length, it doesn't mean
all of your many hours of study and work have gone unnoticed and we do appreciate
it.
Mrs. Denton - Thank you and we do appreciate the opportunity to have a
specific time to present - I think perhaps our misunderstanding was that we felt
that you would want a meeting separate from Commission meeting because of the
length of our presentation, but we are greatful for the opportunity.
Commissioner Simpson - We are used to staying here long after dark.
Mayor Duckers called for a vote on the motion. Ayes: (5)• Nays: (0).
Motion carried.
The Commissioners brought the following item to the floor for discussion
Commissioner Geis asked about the status of the report from Hay Associates
concerning a job classification and pay study.
Mr. Olson replied that staff will be in contact with them this week and
meeting with them soon. Their report will be submitted in December.
A MOTION was made by Commissioner Simpson, seconded by Commissioner
Weisgerber that the Regular Meeting of the Board of Commissioners be adjourned.
Ayes: (5). Nays: (0). Motion carried. The meeting adjourned at 5:29 P.M.
