I I I . ,~ i.:...t. Grand ISland, Nebraska February 20, 1957 ~\ Council met in regular session. All councilmen present except Voss, who was ill. His Honor, The Mayor presiding. Rev. Schroeder opened the meeting with prayer. Councilman Bacon requested permission to present a statement to be read by the clerk and made part of the minutes. ( COpy) Since the release of the statement by Mayor E. Merle McDermott, on February 11, 1957, in which statement the Mayor made the charges concerning "uncontrolled" purchasing, by members of the Council and specifically mentioned the following: 1. "This centralized purchasing would prohibit the buying of printing at North Platte, Nebraska. 2. The trading of a new automobile within six months. 3. Centralized purchasing would prohibit any councilman or department head from being permitted to purchase from a friend 4. A new hut was erected at the skating rink without council act ion. 5. $700.00 worth of lighting was procured at the same park without council action." The charges made by the Mayor have doubtless raised some questions in the minds of the citizens as to the truth of the charges and particularly as to whether the members of the council were unreasonably spending tax money or were in fact preferring their friends in the purchasing of city supplies. The citizens probably are also interested relative to the value if any of so-called centralized purchasing. The facts concerning the charges made by the mayor are as follows and are referred specifically to the items numbered above. 1. The city attempts to control parking by putting tickets on the cars parked over time at meters or in restricted zones. These tickets can be paid by the motor car driver by depositing money in the envelope and dropping in boxes attached to the parking meter posts at convenient places. These printed tickets and envelopes have previously been purchased from a printer at El Dorado, Kansas at approximately 2~~ each. No effort has previously been made by the city to reduce the cost of these tickets. However, the city of North Platte has made an effort to reduce their expenditures by purchasing the tickets elsewhere. The city of NQrth Platte had secured a local printer to obtain the materials which is a rather specialized type of prepared stock. The Grand Island City council Police Chairman while visiting the Police Inspector at North Platte found that North Platte was able to secure their tickets at a substantially lower figure than Grand Island was buying them for. Finding that the city of Grand Island was about out of the tickets the Police Chairman in a meeting with the police committee and the mayor obtained co:rpsent to the purchase of 30,000 tickets from the North Platte printer. The tickets could not be obtained in Grand Island in sufficient time, as according to statements from two Grand Island printers it would take at least 60 days to procure the stock from New York and Denver and print the tickets. The purchase was made and in this purchase a saving of approximately $250.00 was effected. At the same time the addresses of the manufacturers of the stock was obtained so that Grand Island printers could place them- selves in a position to supply this material to the city. Authori- zation was obtained from the committee, needs of the police department . I I I . <4 ,'8~ .L were taken care of at a saving, and the local printers will have an apportunity to secure additional business rather than a printer at El Dorado, Kansas. 2. The transactions concerning new cars for the police department are as follows: Specifically relative to the car that was traded within six months after its original purchase, ----the car traded had 22,000 miles on it and was in need of repair costing approximately $200.00. The cost to the city on this particular transaction was slightly over 2~ per mile. Continuing further with the police department automobiles, this is the complete story-----the appropriation for motor cars for the fiscal year 1956-1957 was $4500.00. The city was supplied with four new cars and there remains in the budget the sum of $908.76. The expenditures for the police cars was completely budgeted, and there remains in the budget after supplying the city with four new cars over $900.00. . 3. There is no foundation for the charge that any councilman ever favored any friend with city business. The record will show that the mayor claims to have centralized purchasing all during his administration and aside from emergency purchases the expenditures of city funds has been approved by proper committees or the entire council and purchases centrally made. 4. No member of the city council ever authorized the con- struction of a new hut at the Grace Abbott Park ice rink. For details how a new hut came to be at Grace Abbott Park, the tax payer ought to inquire of the mayor. A signed statement by the department head proves that no councilman ever authorized the expenditure of one cent for the construction of a hut at Grace Abbott Park from new materials. 5. The entire program for new lighting at Grace Abbott Park was contained in a program for city wide new lighting adopted by the council at a cost of approximately $7,000.00. The program was submitted to C. W. Burdick, who in turn submitted the cost to the chairman of the committee, who in turn submitted it to the entire city council, and the program was adopted on September 5, 1956 by resolution. This can be verified by inspection of the minutes of the Council meeting of September 5, 1956. Another remark that was made by the mayor ought to be considered by the tax payers, "this means uncontrolled spending and, in two words, flmore taxes." The city budget carries an item of $44,625.00 for the administrative co-ordinator, attorney, office assistants and office supplies and services. This appropriation includes a purchasing agent, referred to as administrative co-ordinator, at approximately $6,000.00 a year. We have regularly employed two city attorneys, we then employed another attorney to handle special litigation, we then employed some Omaha attorneys to help with the litigation, and now Mayor McDermott wants to hire one additional lawyer to try the one-way street case. If there is a single desire on the part of the mayor to save tax money, this would be an excellent place to start. It is certain that a purchasing agent could not start to save his salary in making city purchases. The whole question presented by the mayor's statements raises this important question "are the city councilmen to be permitted to carry out their duties set out by law or is the Mayor and the administrative co-ordinator appointed by the mayor in complete charge of city expenditures?" The purpose of a mayor and council in carrying out their administrative duties is to establish a balance of power which will prevent the mayor from doing the things that he personally wants to do but is contrary to the interest of the tax payer, and on the other hand to prevent the city council from doing the same thing. . I I I . '" 0, !.-~'. ::.~:; One prime example of the way in which the administrative co- ordinator program operates is the purchase of materials by the department headed by Councilman Clayton--Namely the Street and Alley. Needless to say the seven councilmen against whom charges have been made by the mayor are anxious to have any interested taxpayer inquire fully as to the conduct or action by any of the seven members. s/ Marion I .

Your committees have met with the persons residing in said neighborhood, their attorney, and Mr. Grossman, and his attorney, and it is the opinion of the undersigned that Mr. Grossman has not been using the incinerator built by him and approved by the City for such burning; that Mr. Grossman has had open fires which have sometimes gotten beyond his control and which have been a nuisance to persons residing and doing business in the neighborhood. Your committees report and recommend that Mr. Grossman refrain from all open burning upon his business premises situated in the fire limits; that all burning required to prepare junk and salvage materials for sale be done in the incinerator heretofore approved by the City; that complaints be filed before the Police Magistrate against Mr. Grossman if he should hereafter do any open burning on his premises to the annoyance of persons residing and doing business in the neighbor- hood.

I Your attention is called to certain charges made by the Mayor in a press release of February 21, 1957, that the 11 Police Department is now $21,000.00 in the red. This is the finest example of the need f01 control, and is the finest example of the seriousness of this matter.' This charge has been investigated jointly by the Finance Committee and the Police Committee, such investigation being made from the standpoint of (1) over-expenditure of the budget and (2) responsibility for city expenditures. The statement of the mayor which doubtless was taken from the statement of the Administrative Co-ordinator of January 31, 1957, is not reflective of the true situation. The exact situation insofar as the expenditure of the Police Budget is concerned is contained in a report of January 31, 1957 by F. S. White, City Clerk wherein it is shown the Police fund is as follows: I Originally appropriated Expended Balance Unexpended $152,927.00 $ 77,740.44 $ 75,186.56 or an expenditure in the first six months of 50.8%, the .8% over- expenditure represents approximately $1200.00 instead of $21,000.00. Additionally there are other considerations which indicate the fund is not in any respect over-expended. The principal part of this consideration if the fact that equipment for use throughout the year has already been paid for. The Finance Committee is further concerned that the mayor is attempting to distort the actiOJ:J of the city council and the financial condition of the city by attempting to embarass specific members of the council by placing his own personal interpretation on the acts of the council and the expenditures of the city for his I . own benefit. For instance the budget on the city garage under the jurisdiction of the Street and Alley Committee, the chairman of which is Mr. George Clayton, shows an appropriation of $36,966.00 of which $20,782.00 has been expended, or a percentage under the figures of F. S. W~ite, City Clerk of 56.25%. The city co-ordinator under his figures shows the city garage to be over-expended 62.77%. This will indicate that the Mayor is using figures he hopes will embarass certain councilmen and is withholding figures to avoid any €~! [5 ,~:~ embarrassment on the part of Mr. Clayton. The Finanoe Committee feels the public is entitled to an accurate statement of the manner and amount of the expenditure of public funds and is not to be used by the mayor for political purposes to assist himself and one member . I of the city council. Respectfully submitted FINANCE COMMITTEE Sf Cha s . E. Wilson sf HarrY J. Voss . Sf Wm. A. Gross sf Robe rt L. Sor.ensen POLICE COMMITTEE sf sf sf sf How~rd Bacon Marion I. Zachry Chas. E!.. Wilson Robe~t L. Sor~nsen I I . AJ r- t;'~) /~ !) ~i ( COPY) March 6, 1957 TO THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL: . I In view of the information attempted to be conveyed to the public and by statements of the mayor and the council, the Finance Committee and the Police Committee desire to clarify the method of expending city money. The normal procedure can best be illustrated by expenditures from the police fund. This is what happens in the Polic~ Department. The Assistant Chief prepares requisitions and submits them to the Chief for his approval. Upon approval by the Chief they are submitted to the chairman of the Police Committee. If the requisition is for expenditure of $10.00 or less and appears to be necessary, it is approved by the Police Chairman. If it is for more than $10.00 the requisition is submitted to the Police Committee for approval or rejection. When the requisition is approved by the Police Committee, it is then signed by the Police chairman. The requisition then goes to the mayor Tor his approval or his rejection. It is apparent, therefore, that the mayor has the final approval on all expenditu.res of the department. The mayor has seen fit to appoint an assistant chief of police at a cost of $400.00 a month and in addition a chief at $500.00 a month. For some reason in the Grand Island Police Department the assistant chief has been delegated by the mayor to prepare all requisitions and to specify the types of and the amount of equipment. The power delegated to the assistant chief is indicated when he was appointed by the mayor to the traffic committee as chairman when the ordinance (1926) specifically requires the chief be appointed as chairman of the committee. The above will give the tax payer an idea of the manner in which the expenditures should be handled in all departments. I There is definite evidence there is a determined effort on the part of the mayor unknown to the council until the last ten days, to take away any power of controlling expenditures and placing this power in the department heads, the administrative co-ordinator and himself, all of which is contrary to law. The mayor has issued certain "directives", copies of which have never been furnished the council and it was not until a few days ago the council was able to obtain copies of them. Under date of September 6, 1956, E.Merle McDermott issued Directive #14 as follows: "TO ALL DEPARTMENT HEADS: The 1956-57 fiscal budget has been rather closely drawn, and each Department Head will be held fully responsible and accountable for spending. All purchases should be okayed by this office so that I can observe the need and importance of the purchases to be made. On small items or emergency purchases, you are authorized to make those purchases direct without authorization; however, you should be assured they are absolutely necessary." /s/ E. Merle McDermott I . One of the puzzeling things about the mayor's recent statements in which he attempts to lay responsibility for city expenditures solely on the shoulders of seven councilmen is that on January 2,1957 among other things he stated in a release to the council the following "You have held the budget down to a minimum for efficient administrative operation." This statement will become a matter of public record and it is suggested to the mayor that if he desires to take issue with any statement herein contained that he do so upon its presentation to the mayor and council and not wait to prepare a statement in his own de- fense when the council members are ngt present.

The construction of storm sewer extensions on Fourteenth Street from Grand Island Avenue to Park Avenue and on Eighteenth Street from Park Avenue to Lafayette Avenue.

I Gentlemen: We, the undersigned, report that Ordinance No. 1924 which was passed on the 17th day of June, 1942, permits house trailers to be parked upon private property,other than in trailer camps,in the City of Grand Island, and that the same was adopted for the reason that there were not suf- ficient trailer camps at the time to acc<JIIl1odate the parking of such living units, when there were so many in the City of Gr"nd Island brought here by the construction of the Corn- husker Ordnance Plant and the Grand Island Municipal Airport. The undersigned, after meeting with the Chief Building Inspector, the Chief of Police, City Sanitarian and the Le- gal Department, nave concluded that the parking of trailers on private property in the City of Grand Island, other than I in a trailer court, should be prohibited. We find that the parking of such house trailers on private property causes crowded conditions, is often unsanitary, and that many are in violation of the City Building Code. We further find that many of the units in which people now live are being used in violation of City Ordinances; that many are closer to other buildings than allowed by City Ordinance, and that on many the wheels have been removed, contrary to Ordinance regulations. The undersigned are of the opinion that there are now suf- ficient trailer courts especially built to accommodate house trailers, and that Ordinance No. 1924, which was passed to meet v an emergency, should now be repealed. We, therefore, recommend that Ordinance No. 1924 be repealed, and that all house trail- I . ers now being used in violation of Ordinance No. 1924 be order- ed off the premises wherever situated; that all persons parking trailers in compliance mth Ordinance No. 1924 be permitted to .

Disposition is taken by the Committee in the interests of the taxpayers of Grand. Island. It is felt that at the time of abolishment of the Assistant Police Chief's position, that too many superiors had been named. On the Police Department payroll, there were 11 superiors supervising 15 policemen. It is felt the taxpayers want economy as well as efficiency. In making this recommenda.tion the Police Committee feels that they are representing the taxpayers in a manner in which they expect to be represented.

Beenblossom in the 700 Block, North Oak Street which is Lot 1, Block 129 U.P.R.R. Co. We ask for this condemnation as provided for in Ord. 1356 Sec. 4. The buildings are not being lived in and are not safe or sanitary for human use. The two houses have most of the windows broken out and the homes have shifted or settled toward the middle creating a very unsafe condition. The two houses are connected together with a sewer which has holes in it and sewage stands in the basement. The plumbing is inadequate and not vented at all. Weeds surround the place and the condition is ideal for rat harborage. It is definitely an unsafe building and we feel action should be taken to condemn. A letter has been sent to the owner six weeks ago to correct the condition; but nothing has been done. Both dwellings were up for auction but received no bid whatsoever. Your cooperation in this matter will be greatly appreciated. Respectfully submitted by the following Departments sj Richard V. Evans Fire Chief Sj Joe M. Bosler Police Chief Sj L. F.

Application of David Ditter for liquor license having been oelayed for hearing was presented. After considerable discussion Mr. Shamberg requested that all those present who were opposed to granting further liquor licenses to please stand. A goodly number of those present stood. Rev. Schwanz, President of Ministerial Association commented on the comparison referred to by Mr. Shamberg, wherein Grand Island had proportionately more licenses than anyone of the three Cities, Hastings, Scottsbluff and Lincoln. A letter from the Ministerial Association by their Secretary, Rev. Earle J. Hoagberg, was presented in which they brought out several facts concerning the City regarding the high moral conduct, fine homes, schoold, churches, National recognition as an All- American-City. Their thoughts and desires were to have it continue as such by not granting more licenses. It would seem that perhaps I there would be some of the licensees who would be tempted to fudge a little to make an extra nickel. Elias F. Starr spoke opposing the granting of more licenses. Gross advised the Mayor and Council and those present that he was the Chairman of the License Committee in 1937, when the Resolution was passed to lessen the licenses if possible, but that he felt times had changed, and that the City should have more licenses. Motion of Gross, seconded by Pepper, that the application be held up for further consideration. Motion did not carry. Motion of Sorensen, seconded by Zachry that the applicati0n be denied. Carried.

I I I . oJ> 9' ,,,,, ) FINAL REPORT OF ZONING COIvrMISSION On July 3, 1957, the Zoning Commission made a preliminary report to the City Council of the City of Grand Island as required by Ordinance #3220 of the City of Grand Island. On July 15, 1957, a public hearing was had on the preliminary report, the date of hearing having been duly advertized and through the courtesies of the local press and radio stations well publicized. In addition to the public hearing held on July 15 other hearings were also had. After the hearings, a special meeting of the Zoning Commission was called on the 29th day of July in the Council Chamber where all information gathered at th~earings was analyzed and studied and certain changes were made in the preliminary plan. Again on the 19th day of August at a regular meeting of the Zoning Commission additional study and consideration were given to the proposals and on said date the final proposals were decided upon. The Commission now recommends to the Council of the City of Grand Island to make changes in the Zoning map and Ordinances of the City of Grand Island in accordance with the preliminary report made on the 13th of July, 1957, with minor changes as follows: 1. SECOND STREET. The preliminary report recommends the adoption of transitional areas from the 1100 block through the 1600 block on West Second Street. After additional study and consideration the Commission recommends that all of the lots facing Second Street on both the North and South sides of the street from one extremity of the City to the other be zoned Business B. 2. EDDY STREET. The preliminary report recolnmends that a Business A area extend northward to 9th Street. It is our final recommendation that said Business A area extend only to the alley between 8th and 9th Street in accordance with the existing validly enacted zoning ordinance at this date. 3. MISCELLANEOUS CHANGES. AREAS ON LAFAYETTE STREET NORTH OF SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL. The Conwission previously reco~nended changing Lot 7, ,13, 14, 15 and 16 in Block 10, College Addition to West Lawn to BusinessA. It is the final recommendation of the Zoning Commission that said lots be zoned Residence B instead of Business A. CORRECTION OF PRELIMINARY REPORT. It is to be noted that on the map accompanying the preliminary report, the map showed Lots 1, 2, 3, 8, 9 and 10, Block 22, Schinwers Addition, as Residence B. Zone. Said recommendation was omitted in the text of the preliminary report and should be added thereto and incor- porated into this final report. . I I I . . ~ " / ~J The map herewith presented to the Council incorporates the over-all proposed final plan of zoning of Grand Island and includes all of the recommended changes. It is respectfully called to the attention of the City Council that other recommendations were made by the Commission on the 3rd of July, in addition to those confined to the city map. The Commission deems those recommendations equally as important to the welfare of Grand Island as the classification boundaries. It is the opinion of the Commission that we must have a law in Grand Island requiring that no building should be present permitted to be built outside of the/main business section unless sufficient off street parking is supplied to accommodate the patrons or occupants of that property so constructed. Equally imperative is a revision of our general procedure of handling adjustments. A separate board of adjustment should be established instead of the Council itself acting as such a board. All Seven of us who have served on this Commission during the past year wish to thank the appointing authorities for affording us the opportunity to serve our City. Not one of us have regretted any of the hours spent on this enterprise. We have tried our best to study the problems and analyze all of the possible solutions. We cannot say that other answers to the problems do not have merit but we as human beings have only attempted to select the answers that seem most logical to us. This Commission was created as an advisory group, and we sin- cerely hope that we have been of help to the Council and to the City of Grand Island. Since the Law creating a Zoning Commission indicates that it is the duty of the Zoning Commission to make a preliminary report, have hearings thereon, and to make a final report, it is the opinion of all seven members of the Commission that the work is now con~leted and the Ordinance should be repealed. It is our further opinion that the continued study of the Zoning problems of the City of Grand Island can be accomplished more . I I I . . ~ no. '. r ~ i~'{." logically by a Planning Commission. Zoning is actually a small part of city planning, and the duties of the Zoning Commission should be incorporated into the ordinance creating the planning commission. Since it is our opinion that there is no longer a need for a special Zoning Commission in the City of Grand Island, we, and each of us, herewith respectfully subnlit our resignations along with this final report. Dated this,Lr :Ii day of August, 1957. Respectfully submitted, THE ZONING CO~~IISSION OF THE CITY OF GRAND ISLAND, NEBRASKA .

(COpy REPORT FROM BUILDING INSPECTOR) Grand Island, Nebraska October 23, 1957 HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL Gentlemen: I wish to recommend for your consideration the following amendments to Ordinance No. 2265, regulating installation and inspection of electrical wiring and devices. First, that a rule be added to the section pertaining to rules prohibiting the use of electric welders in any residential zone. Second, that Section 4 establishing fees for permits which at present are $1.00 without regard to the size of the job; other cities base their fees either on an estimate of the cost of. the job or an outlet basis of l~ per cent of cost on small jobs and less on larger jobs. Third, under the Ordinance No. 2265, every qualified electrician must carry an annual permit card with him at all times. There were 65 Journeyman permit cards issued for 1957 for which no charge was made. On the other hand, Master and Journeyman plumbers pay $5.00 and $2.00 respectively for their annual permit cards. It would seem that there should be no difference in the two groups as far as their annual permit fee is concerned. Respectfully submitted, SI E. L. Walker Building Inspector Motion of Gross, seconded by Z~chry, was referred to Ordinance, License and Bond Committee. From C. W. Burdick To Hon. Mayor & City Council ( COPY) At the time of construction of the New Bischeld Street Power Plant, it was necessary to extend a water main in Bischeld Street from Cherry Street to Beal Street for the purpose of furnishing a supply of water from the City to the new plant. Since this water main has a potential of water service to private property on either side of Bischeld Street, I am suggesti~g that a district be created and an ordinance drawn assessing the benefits against the respective lots and tracts adjacent to this water main; and, that collection of the assessment without interest be withheld until the main is tapped. Motion of Voss, seconded by Gross, Water Main District was <Drdered created. Request from Donald Weaver, representing the Line Department of the Light Department, for a meeting with the Light Committee was presented. Motion of Voss, seconded by Gross, referred to C. W.

(COpy REPORT FROM BURDICK TO COUNCIL) December 18, 1957 From C. W. Burdick To Hon. Mayor & City Council During the several years of development in the Southwest sections of Grand Island, water mains have been extended into this area for the purpose of making available a City water supply for both domestic and fire protection purposes. I Since this area is now about fully developed it is apparent from recent su~veys made by this department that water service has become inadequate. In order to correct this condition and at the same time provide for future expansion of the system in adjacent southwest areas, it is necessary that additional trunk lines be laid into this a~ea. Having this in mind this department has drawn up tentative plans which, if adopted, will adequately supply the present and futurene~ds of thi~ area. This trunk line will also open up a new potential for placement of more wells when required. To acquaint you with the details of this trunk line extension there is attached a drawing indicating the route recommended, size of pipe line and tie in connections to the present system. The estimated cost is $32,823.00 payable only from surplus funds presently in the water fund. This extension would be installed by the Water Department crew. I am recommending that this plan be approved and that the Water Department be given authority to proceed with this project. This project should be approved as early as possible in order to have it completed for use this summer. Motion of Voss, seconded by Russell, recommendation was approved. I . r;!
