i
Frese, Safety Chairman of the Franklin P.T.A., for Walk -Don't Walk Traffic Signals at
Ninth and Crawford, and tabled at the meeting of October 12, 1970. The City Manager

The Traffic Engineer suggested signs be installed on the mass arms showing ''Walk
on Green Straight and Right Turn Arrows''. All reports indicated that most children crossed
the intersection without problems. The children alone, or in pairs, had the most trouble
in crossing. One boy, probably a 4th grader, crossed the intersection on a red light
three or four times. The City has the boy's name, and the City Manager stated that he
will call the parents to see if the child is color blind or just horsing around. Mrs.
Virginia Frese reported that there are several children living north and east of Ninth and
Crawford, and feels a Walk -Don't Walk Traffic Signal is the answer to the problems at this
f intersection.
Commissioner Millikan stated that a sign, suggested by the Traffic Engineer,
would be better understood by the children crossing the intersection.
Mr. Leo Clanton said that the Crossing Guard at Ninth and Crawford last year
remarked to him that he had problems getting across the intersection at times. Mr. Clanton
also said the Crossing Guard at Tenth and Franklin should be moved to Ninth and Crawford,
because all he does is hold the children off the school grounds until school takes up.
Mr. Clanton remarked that the intersection at Ninth and Republic has a Crossing Guard,
20 MPH Speed Signs, Stop and Go Traffic Signal, and the Ninth and Crawford intersection
has no Crossing Guard and no speed signs. Mr. Clanton mentioned that he had talked to the
School Board and they said that they have no control over where the crossing guards would
be located. The City Manager stated that the School Board worked very closely with the
City Staff in the placing of the School Crossing Guards and would get together to check
the possibility of moving a guard to Ninth and Crawford from some other crossing.
A motion was made by Commissioner Millikan, seconded by Commissioner Yost to
accept the City Manager's Report to have the signs installed. Ayes: (5). Nays: (0).
Motion carried.
A LETTER was received from the Salina City Planning Commission recommending the
approval of the Final Plat of the Replat of the East Half of Block 10, Riker Addition.
(Requested in Petition Number 3118, which was filed by Ralph E. Reitz, Co -Trustee of the
A. A. Riker Trust, on June 9, 1970) Commissioner Millikan asked the City Engineer if
anything had been done about the water drainage in the area. The City Engineer said
nothing had been done, that he had talked with the interested parties about a storm sewer
or having the area filled, and suggested the City Commission table the matter for one week
to see if he could get a solution to the problem. A motion was made by Commissioner
Millikan, seconded by Commissioner Yost to table the matter for one week. Ayes: (5).
Nays: (0). Motion carried.
A MOTION was made by Commissioner Rundquist, seconded by Commissioner Ashton to
introduce an ordinance for first reading relating to adultery; amending Section 23-68 of

THE CITY ATTORNEY reported that he had been instructed by the City Commission
to check the validity of a resolution passed by the Kansas State Council Council of Fire
Fighters at their 25th Annual Conference in Wichita, Kansas on September 17, 18, 19, 1970.
The City Attorney read from the letter from W. R. McCarter, President and Harold E. Huggins
Secretary of the Kansas State Council of Fire Fighters:
"We can only answer this challenge with the following statement of fact: The
Fire Fighters of Salina Local No. 782, IAFF, submitted Resolution No. 4 to the delegates
assembled, representing 13 Kansas Locals, and some 1500 fire fighters, for there (sic)
consideration. Before any vote was taken, a complete report on the charges, as outlined
in the Resolution, was given by the Salina delegates, and after a very lengthy discussion
by the delegates, the Resolution was passed unanimously.
"Also, in regard to your challenge that we prove these charges, we can only
state, that this Resolution was considered by the delegates in attendance in accordance
with the same procedure that we have followed for the passed (sic) 25 years, and we
certainly feel that the Salina delegates had no reason whatever, to lie to there (sic)
Brother Fire Fighters."
The City Attorney stated that the resolution is identical to the one received by
the City Commissioners except that "Resolution Number 4" had been typed at the top, and at
the bottom: "Submitted by Executive Board of Local 782, IAFF, Salina, Kansas".
Commissioner Millikan challenged Local 782 of IAFF to prove the statements made
in the Resolution or retract the accusations in a public statement. The other Commissioner
concurred with Commissioner Millikan.
Commissioner Rundquist suggested that the staff consider putting the Fire
Department back on the 2 platoon system by the first of the year.
Commissioner Millikan again stated that, in his opinion, the Inspectors of the
Fire Department should be on a 40 hour workweek, because he feels they could make more
inspections and do a better job during the daylight hours.
A MOTION was made by Commissioner Millikan, seconded by Commissioner Ashton to
introduce and pass a Resolution entitled: "A RESOLUTION suggesting the City Manager and
his staff re-evaluate the present organization and work schedule within the Fire Department,
