04-15-1974 Minutes Organizational127 City of Salina, Kansas Regular Meeting of the Board of Commissioners April 15, 1974 The Regular Meeting of the Board of Commissioners met in the Commissioners' Room, City -County Building, on Monday, April 15, 1974, at four o'clock P.M. The Mayor asked everyone to stand for the pledge of allegiance to the Flag and a moment of silent prayer. There were present: Mayor Jack Weisgerber, Chairman presiding Commissioner Robert C. Caldwell Commissioner Norma G. Cooper Commissioner Mike Losik, Jr. Commissioner W. M. Usher comprising a quorum of the Board, also: L. 0. Bengtson, City Attorney Norris D. Olson, City Manager D. L. Harrison, City Clerk Absent: None Mayor Weisgerber called for the approval of the Minutes of the Regular Meeting of April 8, 1974, and asked if there are any corrections or additions. Commissioner Cooper said, "I believe I do. Last week we had a request from Rural Water District Number 3. Their request was granted. Earlier we had, from the same water district a request, this was during the rate change for water rates, we had a request from the same water district that at the time they were present we tabled their request for further study. I was unaware that the Commission had done any further study on the matter. Nonetheless, last week the Manager informed us that the earlier request of the Water District had been denied. I believe that should be in the minutes." Mayor Weisgerber said, "I am lost. All that we discussed last week was that at one time they had asked to be billed differently, and we hadn't - there was never any request for extensions like this." Commissioner Cooper said, "No. I am just simply saying that because of the item on the agenda last week from Rural Water District Number 3, it reminded me of an earlier request that we had from Water District Number 3 which we tabled for further study. I was not aware that any conclusion had been reached on that request of theirs earlier, I inquired of the City Manager and you said that the request had been denied. Is this correct?" Mr. Olson said, 11I don't recall using the terminology that the request had been denied. I think that .." Commissioner Cooper interjected, ".. well you turned them down or something.." Mr. Olson said, "..during our conversation they were assured they would be paying the same rates as any other out of city user. We would have to go back and get the minutes of that meeting to read precisely - to determine precise y what did transpire at the meeting." Commissioner Cooper said, "I did this after I discussed it with you and the minutes .." Mr. Olson asked, "Was it denied in those minutes?" Commissioner Cooper said, "No, the minutes were that we would take the matter - that we would give further study to the matter, and there was no conclusion reached and given to them that day. This was at the time that we were placing the water rates on second reading and they were here asking for this adjustment. Okay, we did not give them any decision that day on their request. We tabled their request for further study. We went ahead and placed the rate increase on second reading and to the best of my knowledge we did not review it at any time but when I inquired of it last week, you had said it had been denied.' Mayor Weisgerber said, "Well I think they were back a second time. I am not sure." Mr. Olson said, "Would you want us on staff to pull this out and get in touch with Mr. Lilly during the week and see if there is anything they want us to do as a follow-up or if they want to pursue it any further? Or.." Commissioner Cooper said, "..I thought someone - I just assumed from what you said last week that they had been notified." Mr. Olson said, "No, I was attempting to recall last week what had transpired at previous meetings at the time they made their request." Commissioner Cooper said, "Nothing. According to the minutes, because 1 pulled a copy of the minutes when we.." Mr. Olson said, "I don't have a copy of their original request either." Commissioner Cooper said, "I do. But, at the time that they were here, this was when we were making adjustments to the water rate schedules, we were placing the ordinance on second reading. They asked for a different kind of billing. We told them we would take their request under advisement or further study. We did not give them an answer. We went ahead and placed the ordinance on second reading. Now, I am saying that as far as I know we never really did do any further study on their request. And I simply understood you to say, maybe I am wrong, but I understood you to say last week, that their request had been denied, or they had been turned down or something like this, so I just supposed that they had been notified, as to the results of that request." Mayor Weisgerber said, "I think they were back. I think we had another meeting after that and they were back and were represented by an attorney.tP Commissioner Cooper said, "They were represented by Mr. Owens the first time they were here and we discussed it at great length." Mayor Weisgerber said, "But I think they had two trips. We would have to look back through the minutes to tell, but I think they came back and got their answer." Mr. Olson said, "As I recall, they were asking for a rate reduction." Mayor Weisgerber said, "No, they asked for a change in billing." Commissioner Cooper said, "That is right." Mr. Olson said, "A change in billing that would result in a rate reduction." Commissioner Cooper said, "Well it would over all." Mayor Weisgerber said, "They wanted to be billed.." Mr. Olson said, ".. on a sliding scale, that is right." Commissioner Cooper said, "But we did not, at the time that they were here, with that request, we did not give them any answer the first time they showed up. 129 Mr. Harris said, "I thought they were told they would have to be treated just the same as any other similar customer." Commissioner Cooper said, "Not at the ti.." Mr. Harris said, "An example would be Schilling Manor. It is a multiple user on a master meter." Commissioner Cooper said, "All I know is the Commission made a motion to table the item for further study. Now as far as I know that is - that was the end of it until, and I had completely forgotten about it quite frankly, until again from the same water district a request came up last week, and this is what made me recall it." Mayor Weisgerber said, "Well the only motion we had last week though, was to allow these three additional residences at Mentor, Kansas." Commissioner Cooper said, "That is the only motion we had, but the City Manager and I had some discussion about the earlier request from Water District Number 3. Did we not, Norris?" Mr. Olson said, "Last Monday?" Commissioner Cooper said, "Yes. Yes, and this is what this is all about I was thinking that those comments, because I was under the impression, or was given the idea to understand that what they were requesting from Water District Number 3 had been denied." Mr. Olson said, "I think what they were, was assured that they would be treated as any other similar user. Now if this constitutes denial, I don't know. Commissioner Cooper said, "I don't know. All I am saying is about - Jack asked if there were any additions to the minutes and I suggested that in the minutes we put in some of this conversation that you and I had last week." Mayor Weisgerber said, "Well, the only thing, I would hate to put in the minutes comments that might not be accurately remembered from a year or more back that had no basis for an actual motion. They might prove to be - unless they are in line with the rest of it, they might prove somewhere along the line to be misleading to someone, because they weren't really - they didn't apply to what we were doing last week. It had really no part of the motion that we took or made." Commissioner Cooper said, "I am not saying that it did, but..." Mayor Weisgerber said, "Well, then I think they would be more properly left out of the minutes." Commissioner Cooper said, "No, I don't agree with you." Commissioner Losik said, 11Jack, I think the comment in the way I am gathering it here is that it was brought up in conjunction with this conversation and their request, and it was my understanding the City Manager implied they were not getting any change in their water rates." Commissioner Cooper said, "Nothing had changed." Commissioner Cooper said, "It doesn't have anything to do with their request as of last week." Commissioner Losik said, "Now then are just what the into force they, in other words, are they paying rates we put in that day is being done, now this is the implication I got is that they were not given any consid... or you leaned back and said well they are not getting anything different. Well this is perhaps what - I think wouldn't be inappropriate to put in here, in that it would clean up this one outstanding piece of business, tied in with this. It is the same water district." Commissioner Cooper said, "It doesn't have anything to do with their request as of last week." 130 Commissioner Losik said, ".. but it did.." Commissioner Cooper said, "But it, but the same district came around earlier with a request I inquired about it and I received an answer and because as far as I know the minutes do not show that they ever had an answer given to them, that I think that that conversation should be in the minutes." Mr. Olson said, "Let's put this in today. I'll go on record as saying they are paying for water in accordance with the ordinance, the same as any other similar users." Commissioner Losik said, "This is what I - my - I felt is what you said and I don't know that it would hurt to put it in there and then clean up two pieces of business." Mr. Olson said, "Similarly, so are all other users." Commissioner Losik said, "Yeah, but I know we denied some others the same thing." Commissioner Cooper said, "Well I do know we discussed it and this was the idea that you left me with last week, and I would like to have that in the minutes." Mr. Harris said, "Mr. Mayor, you see the frustration we have. We don't know what to put in the minutes and what to leave out. I don't think there was any official action taken on that particular matter. We are liable to have something like this every week. When the Clerk goes over the minutes, what do we leave in and what do we take out?" Commissioner Cooper said, "I think we went through this earlier. We went through this once before and I think the Commission said, okay, you go ahead and work up the minutes that you feel are adequate, then if there is anything that the Commission would like to have added, changed or whatever, we would bring it to your attention." Mayor Weisgerber said, "I don't see where this has any remote application myself. The other deal, that dates back for a year and a half or so and it has gone on just exactly like was originally started without any change " Commissioner Cooper said, "Well theca, what difference would it make? We did have the conversation. What difference then would it make if it was in th minutes? They were here." Mayor Weisgerber said, "I think unless it is in with some explanation, it would be most confusing to anyone who just read these minutes they wouldn't have any idea of what was being talked about at all, myself but - we could - unless we would put in there that perhaps the statement that - I don't know whether he phrased it exactly that way or not - the statement the City Manager made today and put it either in a correction of last week's minutes or put it in this week's minutes." iI Commissioner Cooper said, "Why don't you put it in the way I had I! asked that the change be placed in, that the City Manager and I had the conversat on that earlier Water District Number 3 had submitted a request to this Commission at the time of the rate." Mr. Harris said, "We can put the whole conversation in, then we won't �! be at fault for omitting any of it." Commissioner Cooper said, "That would be acceptable to me, very acceptable to me." Mayor Weisgerber said, "I think we are burdening the minutes with a lot of unnecessary conversation without application, but what do the rest of you wish to do? Shall we correct the minutes or..?" Commissioner Losik said, "Well do it and move on." Commissioner Usher said,"I fail to see where it is significant." 131 THE MAYOR PROCLAIMED the Week of April 15 through 20, 1974 - "SALINA BREAKFAST OPTIMIST BIKE SAFETY WEEK".

(Referred to the City Attorney at the �connection � February 25, 1974 meeting.) 1c3� Mr. Muir was present again. He did not agree with the City Attorney's report. He feels the City should fulfill its obligation and obtain the flow -way easements for the diversion of the flood water from Dry Creek to the Smoky Hill River. The City Commissioners and staff and Mr. Muir rediscussed the issue at length, as they had at the meeting of February 25, 1974. Mayor Weisgerber commented, "In view of the letter that we have from our attorney, and the information that he presents, there is no way in the world we can do anything for you today, now if you can produce and perhaps it should be your responsibility, if you can produce further evidence then perhaps we can leave the door open for further consideration, but as it stands right now, we would need more information anyway, and we certainly wouldn't go against a recommendation here. � The Commissioners asked Mr. Muir if he would be willing to try to find any additional information. Mr. Muir said he would write to the Corps of Engineers and try to get a copy of the original map. A motion was made by Commissioner Cooper, seconded by Commissioner Usher to accept the City Attorney's recommendation and take no action on Mr. Muir' petition at this time. Ayes: (5). Nays: (0). Motion carried. COMMISSION AGENDA None PUBLIC AGENDA PETITION NUMBER 3419 was filed by Francis J. Gorrell, 839 Roach, for the rezoning of Lots 2, 4, 6, Block 16, Pacific Addition from District "B" (Two - Family Dwelling House District) to District "E" (General Business District). A motion was made by Commissioner Caldwell, seconded by Commissioner Losik to refer the petition to the Metropolitan Planning Commission. Ayes: (5). Nays: (0). Motion carried. "On February 25, 1974, Mr. Robert Muir appeared before you to bring to your attention what he alleged to be an unlawful trespass on his property by the City of Salina. His basis for this unlawful trespass was his contention that the flood control system for the City had caused flood water to overflow his property in September of 1973. At that time you referred this matter to Mr. Dean Boyer, the City Engineer, and myself for further investigation and report to you. "I have discussed this matter with Mr. Howard Engleman, who acted as special counsel for the City during the acquisition of the right-of-way for the flood control system. Mr. Engleman's files reflect that the system was authorized and approved by the State Corporation Commission and the Board of Water Resources in accordance with the then applicable statutes. The necessary easements were acquired by eminent domain. No land was taken from Mr. Muir. The construction of the entire system was completed in approximately 1960 and to our knowledge there has been no claim of damages to Mr. Muir or any other property owner from that date to the present. If the City is guilty of any alleged trespass, (which it denies), it obviously occurred when the permanent improvements were completed in 1960 and complaint thereof would be barred after the statutory period has run. "in my discussions with Mr. Boyer he indicated that it is not possible to determine whether the Salina Flood Control System had any bearing whatsoever or was the proximate cause of the flooding on Mr. Muir's property. It appears that flooding in this area was common prior to the installation of the flood control system for Salina and that Mr. Muir's land probably would have flooded last September even if the flood control system had not been in existence." Mr. Muir was present again. He did not agree with the City Attorney's report. He feels the City should fulfill its obligation and obtain the flow -way easements for the diversion of the flood water from Dry Creek to the Smoky Hill River. The City Commissioners and staff and Mr. Muir rediscussed the issue at length, as they had at the meeting of February 25, 1974. Mayor Weisgerber commented, "In view of the letter that we have from our attorney, and the information that he presents, there is no way in the world we can do anything for you today, now if you can produce and perhaps it should be your responsibility, if you can produce further evidence then perhaps we can leave the door open for further consideration, but as it stands right now, we would need more information anyway, and we certainly wouldn't go against a recommendation here. � The Commissioners asked Mr. Muir if he would be willing to try to find any additional information.

Gorrell, 839 Roach, for the rezoning of Lots 2, 4, 6, Block 16, Pacific Addition from District "B" (Two - Family Dwelling House District) to District "E" (General Business District).

Atherton for paving and water line through Lot 12, Upper Mill Addition Number 2 from Crawford Avenue north to the existing paving and water line on Upper Mill.

Norton, Attorney for Star Grain and Investment, Inc., for the construction of a full exit and entrance, 30 feet in width, onto South Ninth Street, connecting South Ninth Street with Market Place Street at a point 880 feet South of the intersection of Magnolia Road and South Ninth Street. This location is opposite the entrance to Mid State Mall Parking lot. A motion was made by Commissioner Caldwell, seconded by Commissioner Usher to refer the petition to the City Engineer and Planning Department. Ayes: (5). Nays: (0). Motion carried. A REQUEST was received from Diane Simpson to appear before the City Commissioners to present a short statement and seek information concerning the proposed remodeling of the City -County Jail complex. Mrs. Diane Simpson and Rev. Glen Halbe appeared and expressed concern about the publicity that has come out so far related to remodeling of the jail facilities. Their concern is that the public not consider this to be a juvenile rehabilitation facility. The City Manager and Commissioners assured them that there was no intent to mislead anyone, that this is strictly a confinement facility to separate juvenile offenders from the adults. Mrs. Simpson and Rev. Halbe wanted to know the breakdown of costs between what would be spent for the juvenile detention facilities and that portion which would be spent for new booking facilities. They were advised that information was not available as yet, that the architect has not completed final plans. They were encouraged to contact the architect to see the preliminary plan ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING The Board of Commissioners convened for the purpose of organizing. D. L.

Harrison, City Clerk Absent: None Nominations for Mayor: Commissioner Cooper said, "This Commission doesn't always do the expected. The selection of Mayor being an example. The choice need not be based on emotions, outside influence or personality, but rathe on what are the desired results.

I nominate Bob Caldwell." or 134 Commissioner Losik moved the nominations be closed and that the vote be recorded as unanimous. Commissioner Cooper seconded the motion. Commissioner Caldwell said, "I don't think there has to be any second t the nomination; however I don't think they should be closed at this time, we have others I think to be picked. I wasn't aware of this at all. I appreciate the honor, but I would further think that someone else should be nominated. I wouldn't want that to be closed." Commissioner Weisgerber said, "Well, let me say this, Mr. Caldwell was recently re-elected for a 4 year term. He has served 2 years as Mayor and served very well and I think the Commission might well like to see him serve as Mayor again before his time is over." Commissioner Caldwell commented, "I would appreciate that honor, sir, but I feel I have served my term. What I would like to say now is I think we are just dragging our feet. Let's go on with the other nominations and have a vote." Commissioner Losik commented, "I'll buy that." Commissioner Weisgerber said, "I'd like to nominate, for this year, Bill Usher, with the right another year to come back and nominate Mr. Caldwell." There were no other nominations.
