iIow. cuuncllm.in lianmt asked il the present problem is
t.itlt one plant. Mr. Pratt :.,Lid that generally the itinton
Rendering Company has been causing the recent odor problem,
that this company has the proper equipment to eliminate
udnr:., but that it i:; a matter of Lite willingness of
nton to comply with ieg;ulatiun: and proper procedures
to el. intinate odors. Mr. Pratt said that the matter of
cend,rin,; plant:; and air pollution is a nation-wide problem,
:.incl that if cities dont act soon to correct pollution, the
1•'edert4l Government might step into the field. Councilman
Lf.tmtn responded that he had heard that some federal Govern-
n,Vut of ticidl:: believe Lite :;anitary serer:; in the Minton
area are not large enough. Councitntan Iloover commented
that the pre:;ent plants have had plenty of time for
voluntary compliance with existing regulation. to eliminate
odor-. Councilman Stovall said that one problem aas with
dump:tt►g carcasses on the side%.alks near the rendering plants,
waiting for theplants to open in the morning. Mayor Barr
commented that the problem is critical, but he would be
a?;seeable to holdint, action one week. Councilman Ilamm said
he didn't think an ordinance should be written to control
one plant. Mayor Barr :,aid lie thought inedible carcasses
: Mould not be allowed to be brought into the city from
uutside Lite city. Mr. Pratt :.aid that he read in a recent
ne,::. article that there if; danger of a national outbreak
of a certain kind of poi:;oning coming from chickens and
otter edible fowl which are being fed diseased carcasses
of larger animals. He said that the ordinance would require
:separation of the three basic areas in rendering plants
(rat material area, cooking area, and finished material area) .
Ile said that the ordinance would not put any rendering plant
out of business, but it might require remodeling, which he
. aid would pay for itself by providing a product that would
pay the company more. councilman Stovall asked how long the
.tate regulations on rendering plants had been in effect.
file City Attorney replied ::ince 1956. Councilman Stovall
.tyke.l by we did not enforce the State regulations. Mayor
Barr t;..tid that the Council must share responsibility for
lack of past enforcement of appropriate regulations. The
City Attorney said there %.as no penalty connected with State
Law, t.hich is in the nature of standards and not regulations.
Councilman llamm said that the staff should check Cite ti+.,e
allue.ance for ordinance compliance (Feb. 1, 1966) because
this may not be enough time for plants to do the required
work to comply. The City Manager said that there was not
ju:.t Otte plant involved with compliance, but several
rendering plants and other establishments (such as fertilizer
plants). .1t the regular Council meeting, two persons told
the council of the continuing problem of odors coming from
Ole rendering plants at 3600 North Grove. 'they said the �
odors had been far worse in the past year. Action was taken
by the Council to hold consideration of this ordinance for
one week.
3. Report on Telephone Service Proposal AUGHINBAUGH - JLR - provide
(IR #837) additionalrma`ti:.n as �y
may be req � �Ai RtCORD
Mayor Pro-'rem Jones said it was difficult for him to
accept the telephone company figure:3, due to incon::istency p�
..ith past requests for rate increases. Ile cited the request OI!7y II SECRET,'
of two to three years ago .hen the telephone company needed T WORTH
t
a hi.g;lter rate than they are now willing; to accept, in order FT. PfORTHt Ii 't.

to give them a fair rate of return. lie said he assumed
she Utilities Supervisor had used the telephone company's
figures rather than making independent investigation of
its financial status. Mayor Pro-Tem Jones said he did
not care to horse trade on a rate situation for expediency' s
sake. lie said the telephone company owes the City the
consideration of full. explanation of the need for rate
increase. Mr. Jones suggested the Council hold a rate
hearing, perhaps after the first of the year, and spend
considerable money to get prepared on the hearing. Council-
man Kemble said that in his opinion if the Council thinks the
present rates are okay, then this increase should be
evaluated to see if it will pay the new expenses to the
company for changing the toll zones. Mayor Pro-Tem Jones
said that it wasn't quite that simple, that it should be
determined whether the additional company expenditures
should be from new revenue or part of regular capital
Outlay for the company. Mayor Darr said he thought this
rate request should be considered a general rate increase rather
than to cover a special capital outlay situation. I'he
Utilities Supervisor said that lie believes the telephone
com pany rates through 1964 were reasonable, and that this
present request could be studied on its own merits.
Councilman Hoover asked what new money is involved in the
rate increase. The Utilities Supervisor said that rate
increase as proposed would provide $1,295,000 new gross
exchange revenue (not including tolls). The consensus of
the Council was to set a hearing date for November 22nd,
and such action was taken at the regular meeting. The City
manager asked Council Members to ask for further information if
they jo desired. Mayor Pro-Tem Jones said the hearing should
he a true adversary affair, with great effort made for con-
�;umers to be protected from unneeded rate increases.
