Mr. Bengtson explained that since they are licensed in that field
their license would be acceptable.

read "such licenses shall expire on the 31st day of December of each year. No
license fee shall be prorated except as provided for in Section 20-9 of the

is on the agenda for final reading, which should be done prior to the end of the
year because of licensing requirements.

PUBLIC AGENDA
PETITION NUMBER 3515 was filed by Lee 0. Haworth, for street, sewer,

Hartland Avenue; Colonial Lane from Edward to Post Oak Lane; Post Oak Lane from
Neal Avenue to Bret Avenue; Colonial Court and Colonial Place. A motion was made

A REQUEST was received from Karen M. Graves, Co -chairperson of the
Salina American Revolution Bicentennial Commission, to be present at the City
Commission meeting to make a request for additional funding for the city's
Bicentennial activities in the coming year.
Mrs. Graves presented the Commissioners with a Bicentennial Calendar
and a proposed budget sheet. She explained how the plans for the activities have
grown. The parade, that started out just as a parade is now going to be a pageant
in the streets, and the street fair, that started out just to be a couple of days
of people showing their arts and crafts is now going to be a 2 day extravaganza
with nationally known entertainers coming in and fun and games for 2 days. The
fire plug project has been very successful, the oral history project now has 76
hours of taped interviews. Needlepoint tapestry grew from what was going to be
a 3' x 5' panel into a 5' x 8' panel. It is the most ambitious one in the Midwest
She said the enthusiasm is building and they are reaching their goal which was to
involve people as participants and not just as spectators. She said she feels
Salina is a perfect size city, neither too large so that people are disinterested,
nor too small so they don't have the resources. She explained the request is for
$10,000, which would leave a balance of $45,000, which they will raise from private
sources.
Mr. Gerald Shadwick was also present. He said the support for the
project is already widespread, by both private and governmental agencies.
There is an organization developed which will, some time after the first of the
year, attempt to raise the other $45,000. He said the key to the thing is that
the projects have been so designed so that each and every citizen in the community
who wants to can have a part to play in one or more of the projects.
Commissioner Simpson asked if the funds are available.
Mr. Olson estimated that there will be a balance of $20,000 or $30,000
in the General fund after the prior commitments and demands have been taken into
consideration.
A motion was made by Commissioner Usher, seconded by Commissioner
Simpson to grant the request for $10,000 to the Salina American Revolution
Bicentennial Commission predicated on the fact that funds are available on
December 31st. Ayes: (5). Nays: (0). Motion carried.
Commissioner Usher thanked Mrs. Graves and Dr. Dahlquist and the
committees and all the people who are working.
Mrs. Graves thanked the City Commissioners and staff for their support.

A REQUEST was received from Dale W. Hayse, owner of The Scheme,
123 North 7th Street, to use public property for aesthetic purposes. A motion
was made by Commissioner Weisgerger, seconded by Commissioner Usher to refer
the request to the City Engineer for a recommendation. Ayes: (5). Nays: (0).
Motion carried.
A LIST OF SIXTY-FIVE cereal malt beverage license applications for
1976 was considered by the Board of Commissioners. There are 60 renewals and
5 new applications, all of which have been approved by the Zoning Officer,
Health Department and the Police Department. A motion was made by Commissioner
Weisgerber, seconded by Commissioner Usher to approve the Cereal Malt Beverage
license applications for 1976, and authorize the City Clerk to issue the
licenses. Ayes: (5). Nays: (0). Motion carried.
COMMISSION AGENDA
"Consideration of agreement with the United Way for implementation
of Phase II proposal." (Sponsored by Commissioner Simpson)
Commissioner Simpson said, "We had the pleasure last week of meeting
with Mr. Ron Elwell and Jane Hardy from MACSI, United Way, and I felt a little
better after the meeting as to where we were on this project and on the basis
of that conversation and information I would move that we authorize the Mayor
to sign the agreement for Phase II of the United Way Project."
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Usher. Ayes: (5). Nays: (0).
Motion carried.
"Discuss the possibility of the Mayor declaring Friday, December 26,
as a holiday for city employees." (Sponsored by Commissioner Duckers)
Commissioner Duckers said the Mayor has a prerogative, according to the
employees manual from time to time on special occasions, of declaring a city
wide holiday for employees. He said it seems to make sense since it is a
Friday, it would enable the city employees to leave on Christmas Eve and
go out of town and have a long weekend. It would be a token of our
appreciation for the fine job they do day in and day out and week in and
week out, and we should at least consider this."
After a short discussion, a motion was made by Commissioner Duckers
seconded by Commissioner Simpson to direct the Mayor to declare a holiday the
day after Christmas. Ayes: (5). Nays: (0). Motion carried.
The Mayor so proclaimed Friday, December 26, 1975 as a holiday.
The following items were brought up for discussion by the City
Commissioners:
Commissioner Simpson said a matter concerning Industrial Revenue
Bonds has come to their attention and needs to be taken care of as quickly as
possible, and in compliance with the open meeting law requested that they
recess into executive session to discuss this industrial revenue bond issue.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Duckers. Ayes: (5). Nays: (0).
Motion carried.
The commissioners recessed at 4:39 p.m. and reconvened at 5:11 p.m.
at which time the Mayor stated they had met in executive session to discuss
Industrial Revenue Bonds.
Commissioner Duckers asked Keith Rawlings when the City Commission
could meet with the Planning Commission to discuss the new zoning ordinance.
After some discussion it was decided the Commissioners would meet with
the Planning Commission at 2:00 p.m., Monday afternoon, December 22nd.
A motion was made by Commissioner Simpson, seconded by Commissioner
Duckers that the Regular Meeting of the Board of Commissioners be adjourned.
Ayes: (5). Nays: (0). Motion carried.
