City Engineer reported on Petition Number 3077 for sewer line and Petition Number
3078 for water line on Woodland Avenue, East of Ohio Street, requested by Steven J. Hill on ,
November 24, 1969. The petitions were signed by only 38% of the abutting property owners,
and suggested the petitions be returned for more signatures. A motion was made by
Commissioner Yost, seconded by Commissioner Ashton to refer the petitions back to the
petitioner for at least a majority of the property owners abutting the proposed water and
sewer lines. Ayes: (5). Nays: (0). Motion carried.
The City Commissioners considered the proposal to remove parking meters from the
Central Business District. Mr. Dan Stevenson presented his proposal for free all day and
free two hour parking in Downtown Salina. His proposal and map are attached to these minutes;.
A motion was made by Commissioner Ashton, seconded by Commissioner Caldwell to table the
proposal for one week, so a study can be made in more detail and a decision made at next
week meeting. Commissioner Ashton feels that the Commission should make a study of both
sides of the parking meter situation. His concern is the pay off of the Bond and Interest
Account. Mrs. A. J. Cooper had several questions about removing the parking meters, such as:
How much money is on hand? How long are bonds to run? How much Bond and Interest is due?
How will loss of revenue be made up? If the parking meters are removed, who will pay the
bonds off? Mrs. Cooper feels that we would be helping downtown property owners pay for
parking. She does not feel the property owners should pay for free downtown parking, and
if free parking is going to increase taxes, she is against it. The City requires single
operator beauty shops to provide off-street parking, why not the downtown area? Mr. Bud Jilka
wondered why there are no parking meters in Sunset Plaza. Commissioner Rundquist expressed
the opinion that the downtown area is in trouble and one of the problems is the parking
meters, and he feels if they are removed it will help the situation. Vote on the motion to
table the parking meter proposal until next week: Ayes: Ashton, Caldwell, Millikan (3)
Nays: Rundquist, Yost (2). Motion carried.

Mrs. A. J. Cooper asked about the expenses of the City Commissioners wives to the
National League of Cities Convention in San Diego, California, and who pays their expenses.
Mayor Millikan answered that the City did pay the actual expenses of both husband and wife,
and that such has been a past policy of Salina as well as many other cities sending
Commissioners to such a meeting. She would like to see a follow up article in the paper
on the actual expenses that were paid. She does not feel this is a fair expense to the
tax payers of Salina.
