REQUEST BY TAPANESE AMERICAN CITIZEN LEAGUE FOR RESOLUTION REPEALING
TITLE II OF INTERNAL SECURITY ACT OF 1950.
Mayor Jones stated that the City Manager and the City Attorney have not received
information sufficient whereby they can go ahead and prepare such a resolution
as of now.They hoped that before the next meeting they would have a copy of
the law itself.He thought possibly that this is something that councilmen as
individuals would prefer or not prefer to endorse as the case may be,and question
ed whether this comes within the scope of Council jurisdiction.r—

ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING ELECTION FOR SPECIAL LEVY,MATCHING FUNDS FOR
0|C|ARTERIAL STREET PROTECTS.
r
The ordinance was read in its entirety.City Manager,Chester L.Waggener,
stated that we have never used special levies before,but because we are ask
ing for a relatively small amount for one year only,the cost would be considerably
less for the citizens of Moses Lake than if the money was obtained through a
bond issue.The 90%State money is available and the project approved;we have
no assurance that if we wait we will get approval of the funds for the projects at
a later date.The work will consist of the following;Alder Street from Pioneer
Way to Valley Road will be a resurfacing job.Wheeler Road from SR 17 to East
of the City limits is a complete project and involves four-laning and curbing.j
This will be a joint project with the County.Third Avenue is basically a re-|
surfacing job and contemplating bringing the traffic signals up to date.Locust
Lane from Peninsula Drive to Broadway Avenue is a complete improvement pro
ject.Fifth Avenue from Pioneer Way to Division Street is completion of
widening and resurfacing,also installation of signals at Fifth and Division
Streets.The $52,690 is the Engineering Department's estimate of the 10%
Urban Arterial Street matching funds .This would allow us to use any money
left to perhaps submit a prospectus for an additional arterial project.Motion
by Otto Skaug,second by Dr.Lindell to adopt the first reading of the ordinance.
Carried.
