Saturday, January 15, 2000, at 7:45 a.m. Present were Mayor Youngman, Commissioner Brown, Commissioner Frost, Commissioner Smiley, Commissioner Kirchhoff, City Manager Johnson, Assistant City Manager Brey, City Attorney Luwe and Clerk of the Commission Sullivan. The meeting was opened with the roll call. Sianing of Notice of Scecial Meetina Each of the Commissioners, in turn, signed the Notice of Special Meeting. Continued orientation session for Commissioners The City Commissioners, City management, department heads and many of the division heads or their representatives attended the continued tour of facilities and the initial budget presentations for Fiscal Year 2000-2001. Director of Public Service Debbie Arkell noted that today's presentations are from a majority of the divisions within her department. She distributed an information packet, noting that she oversees six different divisions that provide services to the public, including "providing . clean water, taking away the dirty water, and burying your loved ones". She noted that many of the tasks require large, expensive equipment. She stated that much of her department's work is governed by laws, including local, state and federal regulations. She recognized that some of the services provided by the City could be provided by private enterprise; however, she noted that the City can control the rates and, thus, protect its citizens by providing the services. Director Arkell identified major projects which will be upcoming in the next fiscal year and in the near future. She stated that a multi-division storage facility at the lower yards, to protect the City's large, expensive equipment and prolong its life, is included in the capital improvement program during the upcoming fiscal year. She noted that a new shop facility, to replace the existing one that was constructed in 1975, will need to be considered in the next few years. She stated that over 50 employees currently work out of the existing shop complex, and offices which were designed for one person now house up to four people. Water Treatment Plant. Superintendent Dean Elliott stated this is the first of the enterprise fund operations to be considered. He noted that, as a result, the operations of the plant and the distribution system are funded through the rates paid by the customers of the City's Water Department. He stated the sole purpose of the Water Treatment Plant is to make drinkable water, although he noted that involves many different tasks. His operation is highly regulated at both the federal and state levels, and the quality of water currently produced at . the plant well exceeds those standards. The Superintendent stated there are only seven major water treatment plants in Montana and, as a result, the State is very helpful and ensures the City is aware of any new regulations that may be enacted. He stated the City has two surface water sources, the Sourdough drainage and the Hyalite Reservoir. He noted that, because of wild animals and domesticated animals in these drainages, care must be taken at the plant to ensure the water is appropriately filtered to remove any harmful bacteria. He asked that the Commissioners be prepared to provide input when grazing rights in the Hyalite drainage come up for renewal, noting that the elimination of cattle in that drainage could help improve the quality of the water. 01-15-2000 Special ---..---- , - 2 - The Superintendent stated that one of the tasks to be undertaken this next fiscal year is the development of a water protection plan, as required by the Environmental Protection Agency and the State of Montana. He noted that this plan will include analyzing the water sheds and determining how to improve them. Superintendent Elliott stated that optimization of the Water Treatment Plant is the goal of his department, and training of the staff is one way to meet that goal. He identified the academic and experience backgrounds of various staff members, and how those backgrounds work toward meeting that goal. . Superintendent Elliott noted one of his goals is to keep the reservoirs 50 percent full for firefighting and 30 percent full for drinking water, which takes 3 million gallons. He recognized that, while it's easy to meet the goal for drinking water, it can be more difficult to meet the goal for firefighting. Superintendent Dean Elliott identified several areas in which the existing building does not meet current building and fire codes, although it does meet the codes that were in place when the building was constructed. He noted that, below the plant, is a 500,000-gallon storage tank for clean water, and that tank is needed to ensure adequate chlorine contact time. The Superintendent characterized his annual operating budget as a straight forward one; however, he cautioned that the capital improvement program includes some large projects. He noted one is a 40 million gallon pretreatment surge basin, to be constructed on a portion of the 50 acres which surround the treatment plant. He stated that water conservation surfaced as the top priority item in a recently-completed dam study; and this pond could accommodate a ten-day supply of water during the winter, when the creek may be frozen, and would allow for better use of the Hyalite water, which is expensive. He noted that the basin would also help address turbidity issues, particularly in the spring, thus making the plant more efficient and capable of treating more water on a daily basis. Another major item on the capital improvement list is a new treatment plant. The Superintendent noted that the current building, which was built in 1983 and came on line in 1984, is a metal building with aluminum above- . ground tanks; and, with at least 60 percent humidity, the structure and all metal objects in it are rusting. The Superintendent stated that the industry standard is for a block building, with buried tanks; and that type of facility will last much longer than the projected 15-year life expectancy of this facility. Superintendent Elliott concluded his presentation by distributing an information sheet and giving a tour of the plant. Responding to questions from the Commission, the Superintendent stated that the plant is manned 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. He stated the plant has six employees, counting himself, which results in a significant amount of overtime. He noted that, while the plant is essentially run by computers, it is important to monitor the information to identify and address potential problems. Wastewater Treatment Plant. Superintendent Don Noyes stated that he served as Superintendent of both plants while the Water Treatment Plant was under construction and for its first year of operation. He noted that when that plant was built, the City did not have the monies to construct it as recommended; and he is pleasantly surprised that it has lasted as long as it has. Superintendent Noyes turned his attention to the Waste Water Treatment Plant, distributing an information packet on the facility and staffing levels. He stated that the plant . was initially constructed in 1970, with the second phase being constructed in 1982. As a result, much of the equipment and some of the buildings are aging, resulting in increased maintenance and replacement costs. He stated the design flow of the plant is 5.7 million gallons per day, which is identified as adequate to serve 36,000 people; and today's population is estimated at 31,000. He indicated that this plant is being operated by a staff of fourteen, many of whom have good educational backgrounds and all of whom are certified except the two new hires. Superintendent Don Noyes gave a slide tour of the plant, noting that a tour would take much longer than the time available. He stated that the effluent from the plant is much cleaner 01-15-2000 Special ------ .------- - ----.-.--.----- --.-- . - -...---. - 3 - than regulations require and cautioned that is the result of the operators working diligently to keep the old equipment and design functioning at its best. The Superintendent stated that the plant produces approximately 50 cubic feet of methane gas, and approximately 90 percent of it is utilized to heat buildings and the digester. Also, the back-up generator can operate on either methane gas or natural gas Superintendent Noyes identified some of the upcoming capital needs, including replacement of the sludge injector, at an estimated cost of $189,000, maintenance or . replacement of roofs, and construction of a new plant. The Superintendent stated that new farmland must be identified for sludge injection. He noted that when the program was first implemented, there was more than adequate farmland available; however, because farmers are now letting less land lay in summer fallow and because injection is a slow process, farmers are not as willing to set aside their land for this program. As the Superintendent went through the slide tour, he identified future capital needs, including replacement of vehicles, the majority of which were purchased in either 1982 or 1988. He characterized the IP beds as being high maintenance items and noted that they have not been used since 1993. City Engineer Craig Brawner stated that, under current permits, the City has a limit on how much can be discharged into the river, and that permit is projected to accommodate a population of 36,000 people. landfill. Street/Sanitation Superintendent Roger Sicz distributed a packet of information for all of his divisions. He stated that hazardous wastes cannot be accepted at the landfill under the City's licensing restrictions. He identified some of the improvements which have been made at the landfill, including the installation of all weather roads and parking areas . through the use of recycled millings. He showed the Commissioners the scale house. noting the scale was installed in 1988. The Superintendent stated that, while the City is not in direct competition with the Logan landfill, which is 30 miles west of Bozeman, it is important to ensure the rates are competitive. He noted that the private hauler generates approximately 50 percent of the incoming wastes and, for the first half of this fiscal year, a total of 45,760 tons of waste have been deposited in the landfill. He recognized that having the private hauler bring his wastes to the landfill is good for finances; however, he noted it results in filling the landfill much faster. He stated the new cell was opened in 1997 and was projected to last ten to twelve years but, at the current rate of use, it is expected to last seven to eight years. He recognized that the recycling program, composting program and white goods area all help to extend the life of the landfill and expanding those programs will help to further extend it. He noted that expansion of the recycling program will require the hiring of a second recycling person and possibly the purchase of a cardboard baler. He also indicated that expansion of the composting program will include the purchase of a tub grinder and screen for the composted materials. Superintendent Sicz stated that a gas extraction system has been installed in the old cell to address groundwater contamination problems. He indicated that monitoring wells have been installed along the perimeter of the landfill to ensure that groundwater contamination does not extend beyond the City's property line, particularly since the Bridger Creek Golf Course and . residential subdivision border the landfill and houses will be built 75 to 100 feet from the landfill. The Superintendent stated that the City has received requests for a household hazardous wastes collection program, similar to the one conducted in 1993 and 1994. He stated that such a program costs $20,000 to $25,000 each year and suggested that a permanent program be implemented rather than these one-time events. The Superintendent stated that the City owns 200 acres, noting the landfill was opened in 1969. He stated that the old cell has been closed and is now being monitored, and the new 01-15-2000 Special ..--....----..--.. - 4 - cell was lined to meet Subtitle 0 regulations, at a cost of $2 million. He encouraged the Commission to consider opening a new cell across Churn Creek when the current cell is nearing the end of its life, rather than closing the landfill. The Street/Sanitation Superintendent showed the new equipment storage building and much of the equipment stored in it, identifying the costs of a new automated garbage collection truck. He raised the issue of possibly pursuing exclusive hauler status, which requires a five- year notice to other haulers within the community. He noted that this would allow the City to take better control of its business, since no private company would be allowed to collect . garbage within city limits except under a contract; and the minimum level of garbage being deposited at the landfill could be better ensured. Responding to Questions, the Superintendent stated that estimates on the life of the landfill, with and without the private hauler, will be provided in the presentation to be made in April. Lyman Creek Reservoir. Water/Sewer Superintendent Mike Certalic stated this is the original source of water for the city, when the Bozeman Waterworks Company operated it. He identified the City's water sources, which include Hyalite Reservoir, Sourdough Creek and Lyman Creek. He noted this water source was enclosed in 1989, after recognizing that it needed protection. The Superintendent stated that the City has water rights for 238 miners inches in this drainage, which computes to 4 million gallons per day. He indicated that this source of water has been off line since October 1998 because the cover on the reservoir, which was a temporary hypalon-type material, was installed in 1989 and had holes in it. He noted that in November 1999, that cover was removed; and a new, permanent cover is needed before this source can be put back on line. He stated that records show the amount of water used from this source was approximately 400,000 gallons per day in 1994 and an estimated 800,000 gallons per day when it was taken off line. . The Superintendent characterized this as an excellent water source, noting it produces some of the highest quality water in the state, with low turbidity. He noted that the only treatment it receives is chlorination and fluoridation; and staff will be reviewing the City's policy to fluoridate the water, in anticipation of asking the Commission to eliminate that policy because of the other sources of fluoride which have been developed between 1957, when the policy was implemented, and today. Superintendent Certalic stated that the reservoir is 160 feet by 240 feet and holds 5.3 million gallons. He noted that it is configured to ensure adequate contact time with chlorine before it is released into the pipe feeding the north side of the community. He indicated that, due to leakage, approximately one-half of the water reaches the customers. He concluded by identifying this as an important water source, particularly as the community grows, and stressing the importance of acquiring a permanent cover so it can be used once again. Sunset Hills Cemetery. Superintendent of Facilities and Lands James Goehrung stated that the cemetery consists of 140 acres, approximately half of which is currently being used as cemetery. He noted that three to five years ago, there as a lot of criticism from the Cemetery Board and controversy on that board. He stated that many of those issues have now been addressed, and the cemetery is being maintained in a manner acceptable to those who . are visiting loved ones. The Superintendent stated that the cemetery is operated by three full-time employees plus a number of summer employees. He noted that this department, along with many others, in encountering problems in attracting summer help, due in part to the salary and the schedule of when the work begins and ends. The Superintendent stated that the main gate is currently on Buttonwood Avenue, just south of Lindley Park; and consideration is being given to moving the primary entrance to the old Highland Boulevard (Golf Way Boulevard) entrance. He indicated that the Cemetery Board 01-15-2000 Special ----- - .n . __._ ..---.---.--. - 5 - will forward its recommendation on this issue for consideration as a long-term item. He noted that, immediately following the next Board meeting, staff will also forward the Board's recommendations for revisions to the existing fee structure for Commission consideration and action. The Superintendent stated the life expectancy of the cemetery is fifty years, noting that burials are currently running at the rate of 60 percent cremains and 40 percent full burials; and double burials are becoming more common. . Superintendent Goehrung gave a to.ur of the cemetery building, which includes a small office area and storage for the equipment. He noted that the office area is very small and needs to be expanded to provide a more efficient and more professional office for the public to view cemetery records and locate lots. He stated that other capital issues include upgrading equipment and vehicles which are old, and an aggressive replacement program for the mowers needs to be undertaken and retained to decrease maintenance time and costs and increase efficiency. Superintendent Goehrung noted that support staff for the cemetery operations is located in the Finance Department. He stated that the old cemetery records are housed at City Hall, and that is where lots and columbarium.niches are sold. He indicated that the City receives requests for information on a regular basis, particularly as people are working on their genealogies. He noted that the cemetery staff are currently working on a fully computerized list of lot owners and burials, which should increase the City's ability to respond to such questions. The Superintendent stated that meeting the irrigation needs of the cemetery is another capital issue. He noted that the City has water rights in the lower ditch for the cemetery; however, pumping the water up the hill with pressure adequate to operate an irrigation system will be costly. He stated that drilling of wells for irrigating the cemetery have proven less than adequate, and using City water to irrigate. the cemetery is costly. . During a tour of the cemetery, Superintendent Goehrung identified the tree nursery for the Forestry Division and some of the different sections. He indicated that fencing and hedge plantings have been installed in recent years in an effort to define the boundaries of the cemetery, particularly since it abuts two parks. Building Maintenance. Superintendent of Facilities and lands Goehrung stated he is responsible for maintenance of the City Hall Complex, the Professional Building, the Library, the Senior Center and the City Shop Complex. He noted the main level of the Professional Building has been remodeled, but some decisions on remodeling of the basement and second floor will be required in the next two or three years. He also reminded the Commission of the renovations being undertaken in the Commission Room. He encouraged them to look at the exterior of the City Hall, noting the rock panels on the building facade are in need of replacement. He stated that additional office space is needed at the City Shops. Following this presentation, the tour broke from 11 :45 a.m. to 12:20 p.m. for lunch in the Commission Room at City Hall. Parks and Forestry. Superintendent of Facilities and lands James Goehrung distributed information sheets for all three of his divisions. He noted that this division is staffed by three . full-time employees plus seasonals. He reminded the Commission that this program is funded through the Tree Maintenance District assessments. He stated that they have methodically trimmed the trees on public lands throughout the community over the past few years and are beginning to comb the community methodically once again. He indicated that this is the first year the crew has not collected Christmas trees; rather, the number of drop-off points has been expanded. He indicated that 30 tons of trees are chipped and composted through this program annually. The Superintendent stated that the cost share program has been successful, with approximately 50 trees being purchased each year. He noted that, in light of that success, the 01-15-2000 Special - 6 - Tree Advisory Board has recommended the number .of trees be increased ta 60 this year. He recognized the encroachments inta the sight triangles and sidewalks that City Engineer Brawner identified. He nated that the Forestry Division has nat been invalved in this type .of trimming in the past, but hedge trimmers cauld be purchased and the City cauld be mare proactive in this area if the Cammissian wishes. He cautianed, hawever, there are same attendant issues and problems that must be addressed, such as natificatian .of the property .owners and providing time for the .owner ta mitigate the problem and billing far the wark campleted. Superintendent Gaehrung turned his attentian ta the capital needs far bath the Forestry . and Parks Divisians, characterizing the vehicles and equipment as being amang the paorest in the City. He nated this is .one area in which the City has failed ta keep up with needs and, as a result, the need for replacement equipment ta ensure emplayee safety is now rising to the top. Amang thase needs is a high ranger far the Forestry Divisian and new vehicles and mowers for the Parks Department. Superintendent Gaehrung stated the Parks Division has six full-time emplayees and thirteen seasanal emplayees. He noted there are 465 acres .of parkland scattered throughout the cammunity, and a listing of the parks and acreages is included in the written material. He stated that the parks range from highly develaped to undeveloped, and they house a wide range of activities. He stressed that some of the activities, such as frisbee galf, are extremely hard on the turf; and alternatives need ta be considered to ensure the integrity .of the core parks is maintained. The Superintendent stated that another major capital expense is the drilling of wells and installation .of underground sprinkler systems. He noted that City water is expensive and using groundwater helps ta reduce the irrigation casts. He noted, hawever, the pressure from a well is much lawer than from the City's water system; sa the irrigatian systems must be modified accardingly. Superintendent Goehrung forwarded the policy questions for this department, asking whether the Commissian (1) wants to proceed with the creation of a city-wide park . maintenance district; (2) supports a vehicle and equipment replacement program; (3) wants to improve the appearance of the City buildings with a better grounds maintenance pragram; (4) wants ta maintain parks at current levels; (5) wishes ta retain user agreements and, if sa, wants ta adjust the fees. He stated another issue ta be addressed is naxiaus weeds on public land, stressing that this has budget implicatians. The Superintendent noted that there are advisary boards far each of the three divisions he .oversees. He stated that the Recreation and Parks Advisory Board has expressed frustration that the POST plan has nat been included in the Master Plan Update process, and nated that master plans need to be created for several .of the newer parks. He cautioned that, since the County has assumed jurisdiction .of the extraterritorial area, cooperative efforts need ta be made to ensure that trail links are created in a coordinated manner. Cammissianer Smiley stated she is serving an a trails advisory cammittee for the County, and that cammittee is interested in ensuring the cooperative extension of trails. The bus taur began .once again, with a taur of the lower yards on Narth Rouse Avenue. The division heads identified the variaus storage buildings currently on the site as well as the locatian of a proposed new vehicle and equipment starage building. The tour then continued past the Humane Society, which is lacated on City praperty, and to the .old landfill site at the end .of Narth Rouse Avenue, where asphalt and gravel with crushed glass are stackpiled. . Street/Sanitation Superintendent Sicz noted that the fence araund the old landfill needs to be replaced with gaad chain link fencing, both ta imprave the appearance .of the site and to protect the site. City Shaps. The bus taur ended at the City Shaps, where Superintendent Gaehrung shawed the parks barn ta the Cammissioners. The taur then moved inta the equipment storage building, where staff members identified the .overcrowded manner in which vehicles are parked and the poor lighting, which necessitates the use .of "a flashlight ta read the ail dip stick". 01-15-2000 Special - 7 - The tour then moved through the smaller offices in the City Shop, including the sign shop and the water meter repair shop. Street/Sanitation Superintendent Roger Sicz gave a tour of the vehicle maintenance shop noting that, with two mechanics to maintain the City's equipment, developing a preventative maintenance program is difficult. The tour moved on to the offices in the City Shops, where staff members noted the office space is very crowded, with little opportunity for privacy, particularly when a Superintendent is talking to an employee. . Water/Sewer. Water/Sewer Superintendent Mike Certalic gave a power point presentation on the water and sewer operations, a copy of which was distributed to the Commissioners. He noted that the Water Department has fifteen employees, working in a proactive, progressive department. He noted that he works closely with the Superintendents of both the Water Treatment Plant and the Wastewater Treatment Plant, noting that all three operations are Interdependent. The Superintendent identified some of the upcoming capital project needs, including upgrade of the Sourdough intake, replacement of the Hyalite transmission line and replacement of the cover on the Lyman Creek reservoir. He noted that the Sourdough reservoir was built in 1957 and holds 4 million gallons, and the hilltop tank holds 2 million gallons. The Superintendent stated that water main repairs are a significant part of the operation. He noted that the crews also do all water main taps, with the service lines ranging from 3/4- inch to 12 inches. He stated they also do water valve repair, water valve replacement, water valve box repair, f.ire hydrant repair, fire hYdrant replacement, curb box repair, renewal of water services, water service repairs, water service inspections, meter installation, meter reading and meter repair. He noted that the crews try to check the valves and fire hydrants on an annual basis to ensure that they are working properly. The Superintendent reminded the Commission that the City no longer installs new . services. As a result, he noted the water service inspection program has been implemented, to ensure that the installations being completed by the private sector are of high quality and that no illegal connections have been made outside the meter. Water/Sewer Superintendent Certalic turned his attention to the sewer operations, noting that the City has both a television camera and a mini-camera with which to monitor the lines. He noted that these cameras have allowed for much better checking of lines, particularly new infrastructure installations, and has resulted in many dollars saved. The Superintendent stated that roots create problems in many of the City's sewer lines. He showed a picture of a root ball in an inaccessible area in the New Hyalite View Subdivision. He indicated that sewer line repairs are an important part of this department's function. He indicated that, whenever the crews identify a concentration of heavy grease or oil in the line, they immediately contact the Wastewater Treatment Plant, so they can prepare for it. He indicated that this department is also responsible for the installation of new sewer services, to the property line. They are also responsible for manhole repairs, manhole ring and lid repairs, sewer flushing and root cutting. Superintendent Certalic stated that utility line locates is another function of his department. He stated that nearly 3,000 locates were made last year, and those locates may be for a single curb box or the utilities in an entire proposed subdivision. . The Superintendent stated that a water renovation program has been identified. He characterized the majority of the priority improvements as being in the main part of the community. He noted that a sewer renovation program has also been identified, with the top priority being lines in the New Hyalite View Subdivision. He indicated that some grant monies have been awarded for these improvements, which will require local match monies. The Superintendent concluded by noting that the new annexations and subdivisions are resulting in added miles of water and sewer mains and services. 01-15-2000 Special - -.- -------- - 8 - Responding to Planning Director Epple, City Engineer Brawner stated that the water facilities plan has revealed that after 30 to 40 years of growth, the City could begin to run into problems with adequate water sources. He noted that upgrades of the Water Treatment Plant will be needed first, and a pretreatment basin could help address those needs. Streets. Street/Sanitation Superintendent Roger Sicz stated the total budget for the Street Divisionis $2.5 million. He noted that, in the winter, his crews plow the priority routes first; and those routes have been published in the newspaper. He noted that one of the biggest . complaints is why the residential streets are not plowed and indicated that is a policy issue which the Commission must address. He stated that at the present time, he has seven operators for five snowplows and sanders and two motor graders. He noted the community has 123 miles of streets, and it takes three passes to plow a typical street. He indicated that one of his crews begins working at 3:00 a.m. to have the major streets cleaned before people go to work in the morning. He noted one of the key issues is the equipment, particularly since the newest plow truck is a 1995 model. He stressed that if the Commission determines the plowing of residential streets is appropriate, he will need two additional people and two new trucks with plows and sanders. Superintendent Sicz requested that the Commission provide policy direction on contracting out the sidewalk snow removal adjacent to City property as well as in City-owned parking lots. He noted the next policy question pertains to the plowing of residential streets, which will require the hiring of additional personnel and equipment, as previously noted. The Superintendent stated that, through the re-use of millings, he is trying to eliminate all gravel streets in the community. He noted that, because Bozeman is now a non-attainment community, he has acquired two new sweepers, and paving of the gravel streets will help to reduce the dust problems. The ,Street/Sanitation Superintendent encouraged the Commissioners to read the information he has provided in his packet, beginning on Page 21, and to provide any comments . or input on the form he has provided on Page 24. He briefly summarized some of the tasks which his department undertakes, including street cleaning in the spring and fall, coordinating a milling and overlay program, repairing potholes, installing and maintaining signs, painting curbs and maintaining traffic signals. He noted that these items are completed in coordination with the Water Department and the Forestry Department to ensure that their scheduled projects are not in conflict. Street/Sanitation Superintendent Sicz turned his attention to the Gas Tax portion of his operation, noting that much of the $450,000 received annually is used to fund contracted improvements, such as milling and overlay, and improvements to meet ADA requirements. Vehicle Maintenance. Street/Sanitation Superintendent Sicz stressed the importance of creating a preventive maintenance program, for both new equipment and old equipment. He stated that, with the hiring of another mechanic, such a program could be initiated. He noted that the new computer system generates comments on active work orders as well as a report which identifies the preventive maintenance needs for the various vehicles; however, the existing two mechanics don't have time to address those items. He noted that, in most communities, a mechanic is responsible for maintaining fifty vehicles; in the City of Bozeman, two mechanics maintain over 200 vehicles and pieces of equipment. . The Commissioners and staff members concurred that this tour and initial budget discussions have been beneficial. Administrative Services Director Gamradt indicated that one of the anticipated outcomes of these sessions is that staff will come back with the City Manager's recommendations for the upcoming fiscal year in a format that is generally ac'ceptable to the Commission. 01..15-2000 Special .. -.. -.- --.-.-.---- -- - 9 - Adjournment - 3:20 p.m. There being no further business to come before the Commission at this time, it was moved by Commissioner Frost, seconded by Commissioner Smiley, that the meeting be adjourned. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Frost, Commissioner Smiley, Commissioner Kirchhoff, Commissioner Brown and Mayor Youngman; those voting No, none. . .~e~ MARCIA B.
