The money will be used for portable Bandy Talkies for our Police Departunt. The Randy Talkie was demonstrated before Council Meeting. Is sure that this will enable our Police Department to communicate a lot quicker ~d should make the response time a little better; 2) for the past two weeks have been testing a poll. of known oasts of the Recreation Complex.

Mrs. Beringer, Chairman Streets & Drainage Committee, reported: Committee Meeting was held June 27th with Finance Committee, and discussed Roes. Mo. 77131 trbich is on first reading tonight. This is a resolution authorizing the Service Director to advertise for bids for the repair of various concrete streets located in the City. Committee received a list of concrete rapiscemsnte from the Service Director. The funds remaining in the Repair by Contract will be used plus a~litiem<al monies transferred from the bus line for a total of about $24,f1O0 for these repairs. Due to insufficient time and the emerges-cy of not delaying this legislation t~ Commi.ttee was in agreement not to check out the streets and try to comma up with a priority list but they would leave it up to the discretion of the Service Director; and repair the ones that are in the worst conditions. The total cost for all that is needed for these repairs was $33,150. Although we are unable to do all of the work this year we will be able to get a cansi~rable amount done and possibly finish next year. Will ask for suspension of the rule requiring three separate readings because of the necessity to proceed with the repair project so that it may be completed during the good weather. Mr. Meaty asked why did the Committee single out concrete streets. Mrs. Beringer stated she does not thick the Committee singled them out - there are certain streets that are paved with concrete that are in a state of disrepair and we had the money to repair by contract which Co~emittee decided to use in that area. Our other street repair program is well under way. dir. Wilamosky commented that in the last couple of year the City has attempted to correct roadway problems on concrete streets by cutting various sections out that requires repair and replacing it with concrete. We found that it may be a little more expensive initially for the repair but in the long run we will not have to come back every year and replace asphalt to patch these concrete streets. Mr. Wilamosky asked Service Director Caster if his department intends to do any of the actual repair on concrete streets. Service Director Caster stated no - is not set up to do concrete repair work of that magnitude. Mr. Beaty, Chairman Transportation Committee, reported that Ord. Nos. 77-132 and 133 will be placed on first reading tonight and next meeting will be asking for suspension of rule requiring three separate readings. If Council has any questions please read these over within the next two weeks. These are pay ram for the bus line employees which is in accordance with our Agreement with RTA which is due August 1st.
