Mayor Czamanske advised that Armor had been working with the Water Company for quite a while and. that the over-all accomplishment the City was working for wss to get the fire rate class to 8, which would make quite a difference in fire insurance. Miss®uri Cities had an aireal photograph of the City and on it marked where the new fire hydrants w®uld be, that he had gone over this proposed plan with the Inspection Insurance C®mpany and a Mr. Amarossa had tentatively approved the layout. Mr. Kostelecky stated they planned this to be a two year project and they will start very shortly. He explained that the Inspection bureau comes~n and tests the hydrants and either accepts or makes further recommendations. He pr®posed t© have 16 hydrants in this year and the remainder next year and that the City is to follow up with whatever other equipment necessary to qualify it to the Class 8 classification. The other equipment consists of a place to house a fire truck, a fire truck, equipment on the fire truck, one fire chief and enough volunteer men. They plan to put one hydrant across from Ol Kerns, between Quick-trip and Fun House Pizza, just south of the intersection 69 and A, another just south of that one; Greystone apartments and between Eli's and Kellys, then the other ten will placed later. The Company advised that the cost as they had to date, the lowest is $562.00 and the highest c®st for one was $667.00. They stated the approximte cost for the 34 Minutes of Reg. Meeting Page 4, January 16, 1973 would be $28,000. Legislation has been passed that the City is not permitted to pay for these installations, that the cost is passed on to the people and it was not known at the present time what the cost would be for the 34 or 35 .hydrants. Mr. Kostelecky asked that when new devebpments were mdde that more hydrants would have to be installed and also asked that the City advise them if there were other places that the hydrants needed to be installed. It was the Company's understanding that large businesses away from the more condensed area are not considered by the Missouri Inspection Bureau as being a part of the plan. These large businesses are to have their own fire protection, such as sprinkler system. The Trailer Courts are also not con- sidered as a part of this plan by the Inspection Bureau, they are one which should have its own fire protection. The industries and Trailer Courts are looked upon as separate entities, by the Inspection Bureau. The question was asked that if the members of the council now voting on this matter were not to be the same several years later and didn't want this program, could the City get out of it. The Company advised that the only way was through the Missouri Public Commission at Jefferson City. Mr. Kostelecky wanted some assurance that the City was interested for their going ahead and installing the hydrants.

With regard t® the hard surface of the r©ads, this would have to be put off until weather permitted and that the electrical work was another thing that required more time.

Grogan reported on the TV matter and advised that the Sothern Platte County Cable Committee went to Overland Park on last Wedgesda;t to see its Telecable Television. They thought it was quite impressive. The Southern Platte Committee decided to write the company's engineer for him to survey Platte County or this area in general and see how feasible it would be to put in cable TV. The matter of population was also brought up and the Board thought it might be of the City's best interest to have its own census made. * The Board wanted to have the Assistant City Clerk to write Park College, William Jewel College, R. L. Polk Company and other places to see if they would take the census of the City and also to find out the cost of same.

Meeting of Board Page 6, Janl 16, 1973 inspection of the trailer courts would probably come up with a bill in the vicinity of $375.00, his charge is $25.00 per hour. It was also brought out that if any of these cases go to court that he would have to be a witness and that this would cost quite a bit. However as it is now his bill may run up to $600 or $700. this is just as information to the Board.
