A LETTER was received from the North Salina Businessmen's Association regarding water supply to North Salina. Mr. Ben Vidricksen was present and commented, "We of the North Salina Businessmen's Association feel, and it has been brought to our attention on numerous occasions by insurance companies that the water pressure in North Salina is not adequate for fighting fires, and so forth. We don't know at the present time what progress is being made on this or if the city has studied it or if the city is aware that this problem exists. The other members here might want to express their feelings about this also, but we feel as though we don't have the proper water pressure to say for instance fight the fire. About a year and a half ago we had a study for a new fire station in North Salina and we find it wouldn't do any good if you did have a new fire station in North Salina because of the fact that you wouldn't have the pressure to fight the fire anyway, so it wouldn't do any good. This was the controversy of the railroad tracks stopping the fire trucks, but at this particular time we feel like we are not properly represented by the water pressure, so this is our complaint, and we would like some kind of action by the City." 1 1 2914 Mr. R. J. Meier, Salina White Trucks said, "Salina White Trucks is putting up a new building at 2552 North 9th and I am concerned with the insurance amount for fire protection when I get this new facility. The problem is, we have a 9 class rating which will make my premium $10,815.00 a year, whereas in a class 5 it would be $4,384.00. There is a difference of six thousand dollars a year in premium for fire insurance. I contacted Mr. Boyer on October 10th to find what could be done so I could get a 5 or 6 class rating, but as yet I haven't heard for him, but I am very concerned this is costing a lot more money. What could be done to get more pressure up there, so I can get the premium reduce Mr. Harry Steele said, "I am not sure what has been said prior to this but I think between Thomas Park and 2 miles north there and on Diamond Drive is some eight to ten million dollars of insurable property in that area, and I know a new loop on Fifth Street out there would decrease our rates considerably on insurance and give us fire protection. I am wondering, and I know you have looke at it before, if it now couldn't be put in under a grant on Fifth Street and then as the people wanted or needed water and wanted to hook on, then they pay their share rather than being assessed against the Fifth Street property now? I would certainly appreciate you looking into this, and I think we need this additional water." Mr. Bill Wise, Mid America Inn Motel was present and commented, "We are rated in the 7th class zone up there, with a new water loop we would automatically go to a 5th class zone which would decrease our insurance premium $1.75 per thousand." Col. Keith Duckers, St. John's Military School, said, "I am concerned about the reduction in insurance rates, but I am even more concerned about lives because I have close to 200 boys that I am concerned with their welfare. We have some fairly old buildings and they are not as fireproof as I would like for them to be. I am very interested that a study be made to see that there is adequate pressure to fight a fire." Commissioner Weisgerber said, "I am aware of your problem. I think the severe problem probably does lie further out that the old city limits of Salina. I think out where White is and in that intersection and just immediately south of that, but there have been studies made of this and they have been somewhat updated. I would like to make a motion that we refer this to both the City Engineer and the Water Department to get a map that would somewhat show this and give both us and the people involved in this, kind of an idea what the situation is in general." After some discussion a four week time was established for a report and the North Salina Businessmen's Association was asked to provide all the input it could from the owners in the area where the insurance companies have given them information about the water pressure and insurance classes. Commissioner Caldwell seconded the motion. Ayes: (4). Nays: (0). Motion carried. A MOTION was made by Commissioner Caldwell, seconded by Commissioner Losik that the Regular Meeting of the Board of Commissioners be adjourned. D. L.
