MISPELL,. MONTAN.A May l0 , lq 82
TO THE HONORABLE l2AYOR AND CITY COUNCIL �
)0BNTW XxX Gordon Pirrie and Kevin Calnan gave an update on the proposal for
creating a lighting district of 44 historic lights to run -behind alley of Center St.
near Kelly Main to 5th St. and from the bank to 5th St. 'Total of 4,415' of frontage.
to be assessed, with 70.5% of property owners signing petition: no protests. Estimated
total installation cost is $75,000 ($15 front footage assessment) possibility of .spread-
ing over 3 to 5 year period. It was suggested that because of parking lot at Buffalo
Block area, First Federal Savings $ Loan be left out of Special Lighting District.
Procedure to create district was discussed. Cost breakdown is approximately $28,000
preliminary work, cast aluminum lights another $28,000, and around $20,000 for instal-
lation. The foundry at Anaconda made the original mold for cast iron lights, they are
about 3 times heavier, cost would be about 1/3 again more than aluminum lights. Lights

Councilman 0' Boyle agreed that a better system was needed to draw up specs on
future bids, the present system was not satisfactory as is.
City Development Committee:
Councilman Saverud reminded the Council that at the last meeting he indicated that
he had been contacted about sale of property at Demarsville. The Mayor informed
Wayne that we own about 72 acres south of town near Demarsville Cemetary. The
property is the old dump ground; was anticipated that this would be used for sewer
dept. expansion, but this was not done; have easement. Unsure of exact location
of this property, Mayor will obtain a sketch.
Councilman Saverud recommend that we have a full inventory of land owned. Mayor
McDowell was asked to get this, as well as a list` of leases, terms, to determine
how holdings are affected.
Mayor McDowell indicated that a meeting had been scheduled with the County Com-
missioners for a zoning discussion on Wednesday;!,May 12, at 4:00 P.M. at City Hall.
All Council members present indicated availability -to attend this meeting.
Parks Committee:
Councilman Vidal advised that Parks personnel attended a seminar with the Dept. of
Health and learned that the swimming pool was not conforming to law and out of com-
pliance with State regulations, and cited the particular problems. Today she learned
that Bruckhauser Pool was exempt because it was built before the regulations were in
existence.
Liability is definitely a problem. Councilman Grainger stated that we were covered
for one million dollars. Ethical responsibility is area for concern.
Councilman Ruiz felt that a bond would go and that the public should be aware of
the problems.
Councilman Vidal stated that a group was actively working (unofficially informed of
this), headed by Jim Thompson. The Inter Lake is interested in doing an article
about the pool. She mentioned the fact that.the pool cost $20,000 over and above
the amount taken in last year and felt that a similar amount could be put into a
reserve fund if the pool were not to open this year, She stated that we are still
not up to code with filter system at the pool,
Councilman Grainger stated that he was not so concerned about the liability aspect
of the pool as much as he is bodily injury for one person from substandard situation.
Councilman Saverud stated that from information he has the water in the wading pool
is not chlorinated and Councilan Vidal agreed that it was unsanitary.
Councilman Zaunei mentioned that it was not fenced in, dogs were free to run in
area.
Councilman O'Boyle recommended that the public be given ample warning, cut off
the pool at the end of this year,
The pool problem will be presented to City Council at its regular meeting May 17th.
Meeting adjourned at 4:45,
