Letter was read from City Manager,Chester L.Waggener,
recommending that the City of Moses Lake continue its contribution

was $7,206o Had we been paying under the released matching
basis the payment would have been $9,008,for a difference of
approximately $1,800.Under released matching we would have
received a credit of $2400 less $500 which they withhold,for a
total saving of $100.Mr.Waggener further explained that 1963
was an unusual year as far as employee turn-over was concerned.

MARINA DRIVE RAILROAD CROSSING -PROPOSED AGREEMENT
A Letter was read from City Manager,Chester L.Waggener,presenting
13 f a proposed agreement to allow the City to develop the Marina Drive
''access connecting the business area with the Peninsula.The
Agreement,between Chicago,Milwaukee,St. Paul and Pacific Rail
road Company and the City of Moses-Lake was read by title only'.
Mr.Waggener explained that there is only one access to the
Peninsula at this time, and that this would provide an emergency
access.Since it would always be a secondary street,Mr.
Waggener does not feel that acquisition of right-of-way would
be justified.
Mr.Calbom is concerned by the provision that the City could have
to pay all the cost of installation of automatic signals should
they ever become necessary. However, damages for acquisition of
right-of-way would probably be the same as installation of signals,
Mr.Calbom further explained that he had discussed this with the
Attorney for the Utilities and Transportation Commission a-nd this
is the standard agreement that the State Highway Department enters
into.
Mr.Waggener reported that this agreement is only the beginning
of agreements.Several rights-of-way must be acquired before we
can even talk of construction.
Motion by Hardin,seconded by Stadshaug,that Mr.Waggener and the
City Clerk be authorized to sign and return the agreement.Motion
carried.
