City of Salina, Kansas
Regular Meeting of the Board
of Commissioners
May 6, 1974
The Regular Meeting of the Board of Commissioners met in the
Commissioners' Room, City -County Building, on Monday, May 6, 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 W. M. Usher, Chairman presiding
Commissioner Robert C. Caldwell
Commissioner Mike Losik, Jr.
Commissioner Jack Weisgerber
comprising a quorum of the Board, also:
L. 0. Bengtson, City Attorney
Norris D. Olson, City Manager
D. L. Harrison, City Clerk
Absent:
Commissioner Norma G. Cooper
Mayor Usher called for the approval of the Minutes of the Regular
Meeting of April 29, 1974.
Commissioner Weisgerber said, "Mr. Mayor, there is not exactly a
correction, there is an error in the minutes; however it is an error in quotation.
On Page 142, in the last paragraph, Commissioner Losik said, 11 have some
comments. The last time we were asking for re -certification I approved the
application, but I took exception to the citizen envolvement portion of it.'
Mr. Losik did not approve that application, has never approved a Workable
Program so that the City could get Federal Funds. So the quotation is correct
as he stated it, but it probably should be pointed out that his quotation was
in error in the minutes today."
Mayor Usher asked, "Do you want to correct it?"
Commissioner Losik replied, "Certainly not, I think it was said that
way, and it remains a matter of record that way."
The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of April 29, 1974 were approved
as mailed.
Commissioner Losik said, "I have something I wanted to add too along
these same lines. Now along these same lines here I think there was quite a
discussion regarding the request for the water. There was quite a discussion as
to the precedent as to whether the request for water was a first time or whether
it had been done in the past. We discussed the Elks petition for water, we
discussed furthermore the fact that there were homes tapped in onto that water
line and this was brought out to be made a matter of record to confirm whether
we would be doing this as a first time or whether it had been done before. Now
I am sure this is all on the tapes and it could be added in there. It is very
important because this man is going to be coming back to see if we do this and
if we do then there is going to be a reason whether we do or don't. This is
discussing Mr. Nordboe's portion of it. That is on page 146, and I think those
were some very important items that should be reconfirmed as they were stated."
Commissioner Caldwell asked, "What are we supposed to say here?"
Mayor Usher replied, "Well, there is nothing to say. The Minutes will
stand approved as they were printed, and then he will have the opportunity to
discuss this when it comes back from the Engineering Department."
