The City Manager reported that the City was obligated under an agreement with the State Highway Dept to designate one-way traffic on the frontage roads in this area at a future date, but that the property owners in the area had not all agreed to the dedication of the necessary right-of-way or the improvement of the street on an assessment paving basis .

In response to a question from Councilman Stovall, the Utility Supervisor reported that the City's cost of electricity for other than heating and air condition- ing purposes was paid directly to the W.T. Waggoner Building, and that this cost was approximately 50r, per square foot per year.

Councilman Harding also requested information on other comparable cities and the rates paid to the city on gasoline sales. _ Council approved the M&C at regular Council meeting. 4. Right-of-Way for Northeast Industrial Thorough- MAN fare and Water Main (M&C L-421) The City Manager reported that this proposed acquisition of right-of-way was needed immediately in order to provide for the northeast water main, and that the proposed plan to construct a 24-foot gravel road through this area would help in the con- struction of a water line, and open the area to vehicular traffic . In response to a question con- cerning how the cost of the right-of-way was deter- mined, the City Manager reported that the acquisition had been based on tax values of the property in the area. The City Manager also reported that the plan providing for the property owner to furnish the gravel, with the City to apread the gravel, was in accordance with standard City Council policy for gravelling streets. Councilman Haemo stated that he did not know that the City had a policy providing for use of gravel on new streets , and inquired why this type of street had not been used on other streets in relatively unimproved areas such as the East Berry Street extension. The City Manager reported that only in a very few cases such as this one would the staff recommend that a new street be improved with- out permanent type paving.

The Utility Su- pervisor reported that the item would be more clearly understood if the working were changed. Councilman Barr also questioned the item op- posite the year 1965-69, and suggested that the wording be changed to ".2 per cent of revenues in excess of $400,000, or, if gross revenues fall be- low 93 per cent of the gross income for the previous year, 2 per cent of gross revenues collected from passengers plus one per cent of all other gross revenues, less $8,000.
