RESOLUTION NUMBER 46-76 APPEARS ON PAGE 77 OF ORDINANCE & RESOLUTION BOOK V PUBLIC HEARING - Hacienda Boulevard Street Improvement District 252.4 A petition had been filed with the City Clerk signed by property owners purporting to represent the majority in assessed value of property to be included in a proposed street improvement district for the construction of a portion of Hacienda Boulevard, west of North College Avenue and north of Villa Mobile Home Park. 252.5 Mr. Marshall Carlisle, representing petitioners, indicated on a map the area which the petition requested to be included in the improvement district and noted the exclusion from the district of three islands of property, the exclusion of which had been requested by owner of the properties, Wade Bishop. Carlisle stated that Bishop's request for exclusion of the three properties was based upon the fact that the properties could not be purchased with FHA loans if they had a lien upon them. 252 1 253 Mr. Carlisle stated that the district, as proposed by the petitioners, 253.1 was not to include property to the west which would allow the extension of Drake Road from Johnson Road to Hacienda. He said the petitioners were not objectionable to a district to include that possibility but that signatures could not be obtained to support a district for that purpose. Mr. Walter Cox, representing Wade Bishop, owner of property to be in- 253.2 cluded in the district, contended the petition to be invalid in that the proposed district would exclude three islands of property lying within the district. He believed the purpose of excluding the parcels was to assure the petitioners of majority of assessed value. Representing owners of property adjacent to,but not a part of, the proposed district, Joe Segers expressed his clients' belief that the improvement district should not only serve the interests of the majority of assessed value but also of the majority in numbers. His N clients, he said, did not wish to have a major thoroughfare divide their d' property. Speaking in his own behalf, Mr. Bishop stated that establishment of the 253.3 CC district would cost him thousands of dollars since he would be responsible for paying the assessment before sale of his property. The City Attorney advised that the issue for the Board to determine was 253.4 whether or not the petition was sufficient. He said he would like an opportunity to research the validity of excluding property within a proposed district from participating in the district. Following further comment, Director Noland moved the matter be tabled un- 253.5 til the next regular board meeting to allow the City Attorney opportunity to research whether parcels within the district can be excluded and whether a majority of assessed value would be represented in the petition if the areas were not excluded. The recorded vote was: "Ayes": Collier, Todd, Noland, Hughes, Orton "Nays": None Absent: Purdy, Lancaster The motion was declared passed. SIGN APPEAL - 3500 North College / Northwest National Bank Northwest National Bank had requested a variance to allow more than one 253.6 free-standing sign and to allow a six-foot setback from street right-of-way at 3500 North College. Mr. Gary Jackson, speaking in behalf of the petitioner, withdrew a re- 253.7 quest for variance in setback, stating that the petitioner would be agreeable to the 19 font setback? He requested the Board consider the sign to be an informational sign and to grant a request for variance in the sign's size to allow a larger sign which could be easily visible to customers. During discussion, the Board concurred that the sign was for informational 253.8 purposes and should be considered an informational sign. Director Noland noted that the information contained on the one sign would avoid the necessity for three different signs to be located on the premises. Director Hughes, seconded by Collier, moved a variance be granted to allow the 18 foot square directional sign to be located 19 feet from street right-of-way. Directors Hughes and Collier concurred with a proposed amendment to the motion to stipulate that the sign not exceed five feet in height. The recorded vote of the Board was: "Ayes": Collier, Todd, Noland, Hughes, Orton "Nays": None Absent: Purdy, Lancaster The motion was declared passed. 253 SIGN APPEAL - 2800 North College/ Walter Gray Agency 254.1 The petitioner had requested a variance to permit a 144 square foot sign to be erected 8 inches above the roof line of a recently remodeled building located at 2800 North College. Mr. Bill Burgin was present to represent the appellant and stated that the variance was requested to permit placement of the sign so that it would be supported by the building's pillars. 254.2 Director Todd stated that, even though he did not approve of large signs, he did not believe the slight variance from ordinance requirements was signi- ficant. Director Collier, seconded by Todd, moved the variance be approved. The recorded vote was: "Ayes": Collier, Todd, Noland, Hughes, Orton "Nays": None Absent: Purdy, Lancaster The motion was declared passed and the variance granted. EMPLOYEE'S RETIREMENT PLAN STUDY REPORT 254.3 The Board had authorized a study of the employee's retirement plan to be conducted by King, Hall and Associates. Dr. Bob Hall was present at the meeting to discuss the study with the Board and to respond to questions. The study re- port listed recommendations to improve the plan and listed steps for implementing the recommendations. Dr. Hall stated that the first step in improving the plan would be to appoint a trustee of the plan prior to December 254.4 Following slight discussion, Director Noland,seconded by Hughes, moved the recommendations be accepted as well as the steps recommended for implementing the recommendations. The Mayor asked if the motion should pass and the recorded vote was: "Ayes": Collier, Todd, Noland, Hughes, Orton "Nays": None Absent: Lancaster, Purdy The motion was declared passed. 254.5 Director Todd, seconded by Hughes, moved that Dr. Hall be retained to assist in implementing the recommendations outlined in the study report. The recorded vote was: "Ayes": Collier, Todd, Noland, Hughes, Orton "Nays": None Absent: Purdy, Lancaster 254.6 In conjunction with the retirement plan study report, the staff presented the Board with a recommendation for the reallocation of $40,000 which would be available due to a retirement plan premium savings. The City Manager detailed the proposal which would call for an increase in the City's contribution to health insurance premium costs of City employees enrolled in the family plan. Grimes cited substantial health insurance costs which the employees had incurred during the year without benefit of increased participation from the City. He said the increase in premium, in many cases, exceeded the five percent pay in- creases given the first of the year. 254.7 Director Todd was not in agreement with the proposal because he believed it would result in discrimination against those employees enrolled in the in- dividual plan. He felt the proposed increase should be included in a compensa- tion package to be presented with the General Fund budget for 1977 to avoid piece -meal compensation. 254 Et. City Controller Pat Tobin told the Board that many employees had been feeling the financial "crunch" for several months and that the proposal was made in an effort to help ease their situation. He did not feel the proposal to be an extraordinary one since the Board frequently reallocated funds which had previously been budgeted for another purpose. Director Noland, while agreeing with Director Todd's arguement, felt that the proposal should be accepted if a critical need existed for assistance to employees enrolled in the family plan. Director Hughes believed increased city participation in the cost would be a proper use of the funds. Following further slight comment, Director Hughes moved the recommendation be accepted. The motion was seconded by Director Noland and the recorded vote was: "Ayes": Collier, Noland, Hughes, Orton "Nays": Todd Absent: Purdy, Lancaster The motion was declared passed. REALLOCATION OF REVENUE SHARING FUNDS In a written memorandum to the Board, the City Manager recommended realloca- tion of a portion of the Revenue Sharing funds with remaining uncommitted funds to be carried into the 1977 budget. The following projects were recommended to be funded through the reallocation: 1) Widening of Old Missouri Road from Rolling Hills Drive 750 feet northward $ 7,000 2) Miscellaneous street improvements in conjunction with street repairs associated with Tri -City Construction Company water and sewer main work $15,000 3) Purchase of pipe for installation of storm drainage facilities to relieve drainage problems of the Dickson Street/College Avenue intersection $15,000 Directors Todd and Collier felt the City might delay the expenditures be- cause of the City's financial bind. Director Noland noted that the City has the labor and equipment with which to do the work and that the proposed realloca- tions would provide the materials. Director Noland, seconded by Hughes, moved the reallocations for the purchase of materials to complete the three recommended projects be approved. The recorded vote was: "Ayes": Todd, Noland, Hughes, Orton "Nays": Collier Absent: Purdy, Lancaster The motion was declared passed. 255.1 255.2 255.3 255.4 255.5 STREET CONSTRUCTION PRIORITIES The Chairman of the Board Street Committee, Director Hughes, recommended 255.6 adoption of the following street construction priorities for 1977: 1) Straightening and extending North Street from Oakland Avenue to Garland Avenue to connect with Wedington Drive. 2) Signalization of new intersection of Garland Avenue and North Street. 3) Eliminate "jog" from Gregg Avenue south of Township Road by reconstructing the street to the east of the railroad tracks. 255 4) Extension of Sycamore Street east and west from Gregg Avenue and construction of Skull Creek bridge.

RESOLUTION NUMBER 47-76 APPEARS ON PAGE 78 OF ORDINANCE & RESOLUTION BOOK V WAIVER OF MASTER STREET PLAN - College Avenue 256.4 Mr. Herbert Hatfield had requested a waiver of the Master Street Plan for College Avenue from Center Street to Spring Street to allow him to install gasoline pumps and canopy at 117 North College. He did not feel the Master Street Plan should apply to this portion of College Avenue since many buildings were located closer to the right-of-way than allowed by the Master Street Plan. He stated that the pumps and the canopy would be located the same distance from the right-of-way as existing pumps at 123 North College. He felt it would be impractical to think that the buildings along the portion of College would be removed to provide space for widening of the street. 256.5 Director Noland agreed that widening of College from Mountain to Dickson would not seem feasible but that plans would have to include the possibility. 256 Director Noland favored a provisional waiver that woul place the pumps at the desired location with the condi at such time College Avenue is widened. To allow the to research validity of provisional waivers, Director further consideration of the waiver request until the The motion was seconded by Todd and the recorded vote "Ayes": Collier, Todd, Noland, Hughes, Orton "Nays": None Absent: Purdy, Lancaster The motion was declared passed.
