nistrative Memo #70 which was spread on the minutes and reads as follows:
PARKING RESTRICTICNS ON EAST AND BLOCK AVENUES
t this time, the City allows parking on both sides of East Street from Meador to Dickson and on both si
f Block from Spring to Dickson. Through these three blocks, the city maintains a street with 32 feet.
his is enough width for two parking lanes of nine feet eachand one traffic lane of 14 feet in width, or
ne parking lane of eight feet in width and two traffic lanes of 12 feet each,
an effort to move more traffic on these two streets without expendng-money •for widening the street, the
sibility of removing parking-fyom one side of each of these three blocks of East Street and Block Stre
uold be considered.
East Street Between Meadow and Spring Streets
east side of this block has eight (8) two hour meters and two (2) twelve minute meters; while the west side
seven (7) two hour meters. Recommendation is for the elimination of all meters on east side of street and
placing of no parking restrictions, except on Sundays. Two of the seven meters, on the west side would
twelve minute meters (nearest Spring Street) -and the others to remain two hours.
2. East Street Between•Dickson and Spring Street
east side of this•block has approximately sixteen (16) parking spaces and the west side approximately
een (15) spaces. None of the spaces are metered. Recommendation would be to .eliminate parking except on
ays, on the east of the East Street. On the west side'of East Street, the first three (3) spaces from
ng north would be two hour metered spaces and the next twelve spaces would be ten hour metered.
3. Block Street from Dickson to Spring Streets
east sidd of this block has approximately fourteen (14) spaces, eight unmetered and six (6) with two
ers. On the west side of the street in this block are approximately sixteen (16) unmetered spaces.

City Manager presented his recommendation to repair the Taxiway at Drake Field in an Administrative
h was spread on the minutes and reads as follows:
ADMINISTRATIVE MEMO N0, 73
DRAKE FIELD TAXIi1AY REPAIRS
is rapid deterioration taking place on a 2,000 feet section of the total 5,000 feet taxiway at Drake
i
tes
nd
tions

Memo No. 73 i�ield. This taxiway, completed in 1960-61, has been a maintenance problem ever since then. The primary
(Continued) problem is with undergound water and seepage which is destroying the base and in turn the asphalt
In taking tests through the taxiway, we have found stater appearing just inches from the 'surface top. To
add to this situation is the fact that the entire north end of the airport is built over a swampy
Iarea which fact caused great expense and concern during original construction. An engineer and contracto.
`say that we should not try to completely re -do the taxiway for fear of "breaking the bridge" which has
now formed over this swampy, wet area. If this bridge is destroyed, it would mean that much of%the sub -s
would have to be replaced prior to putting in new base and surface. In making repairs over the past
(five ,years, the City has reinforced the edges of the taxiway with asphalt surfacing resulting in a pocket
being formed in the middle of the taxiway preventing water runoff.
For the very minimum of repairs for the very worst section of the taxiway of stout 1200 feet in length, I
estimate the cost of $14,000 with our crews having to spend from five to eight days on the job. This
figure would include about $8,000 in material costs for an asphalt levelling course and a two inch asphal
overlay onthe 2,000 feet. Also, about 1,400 feet of fbench drains would be constructed. These will be
�minimumrrepairs as the entire length of.taxiway (5,000 x 40) should receive an asphalt overlay and
(drainage work within the very near future to protect it from further damage. This total project would
(cost in the neighborhood of $35,000 for levelling course, overlay and french drainage worke
have already authorized the initial 1,400 feet of french drains to be constructed adjacent to the worst
ections. We are contracting for the labor in order to keep our street crews on thei street maintenance
ork and will furnish the material. This.work sh6uld be completed in one week at a cost of $1,000.
he result of this should be the drainage and drying of the taxiway base'and subObase. When this is
omplete, we can either contract for the asphalt work at about $13,000 for labor and material or put
he material down with our crews at a material cost of about $7,500, "eating" the labor and equipment
osts. The bad featuresof the City doing the work is that it will mean three or four days away from
itv work. '
(Airport operations are financed out of the City's General Fund. As you know, surplus in this fund will
' be reduced from $51,000 to about $30,500 as a result of already approved appropriations. Not with-
standing this, the taxiway repairs need to be,made and should be charged to the General Fund. I would
therefore recommend your authorization to proceed with repairs as outlined above with the city contracting,
forthe drainage work at $1,000 and the city doing the asphalt work at a material cost of $7,500; the
$8,500 to come from General Fund surplus with no charge being'made to the General Fund for street
department labor and equipment.
Authorized Repairs Director Melton moved to accept the recommendation of the City Manager and to authorize the City Manager
of Taxiway at to proceed with repairs of the Drake Field Taxiway as outlined in Administrative Memo No. 73 with the
Drake Field City contracting for the drainage work at $1,000.00 and the City doing the asphalt work at a material cost
of $7,500.00; the $8,500.00 to come from General Fund surplus with no charge being made to the General Fund
for street department labor and equipment.
The motion was seconded by Director Swartz and passed unanimously.
A long discussion was held regarding membership and attendance of the Planning Commission (See Memo #74)
Discussion otj during which the City Ranger suggested that the Directors make recommendations for the appointing of
Planning Commission. two members of the Planning Commission.
The City Manager reported that Miss Suzanne Lighton and Henry Shreve wished to resign, Miss Lighton because
of ill health and Mr. Shreve because of business reasons.
