Councilman Guyer, as a representative of the Centennial Committee, expressed appre ci.ation to the way the Police Department hand;l.ed the crowds during the 4th of July cele- bration and asked the Chief of Police to extend this appreciation to the men. Mr. Ward Fischer was present and spoke in reference to the traffic on Lemay Avenue He requested some assurance from the Council that every effort be made to open a by-pass between Riverside and West Prospect to divert this traffic from Lemay. The City Attorney reported that he had made contact with the Colorado_�Milk Producers of Denver, owners of the Frink Creamery, but had not been able to make any progress except a promise from their Attorney, so that they could see what could be done for a right-of-way through the Frink property. Mr. Fischer asked if it might, with the approval of the Council and their Attor- ney, if he would follow up with the Creamery owners the matter of obtaining a right-of-way, and he was assured that the City would give him and the people he represents all the help possible regarding this by-pass. Members of the Council said that the County was•. ready to put in the road after the various right-of-ways could be obtained. The following report was presented and read at length: July 8, 1964 TO: Mr. R. Boos FROM: R. Hollady SUBJECT:- Traffic Report Sir: Pursuant to your request, the following is a resume' of selective traffic inforcement activil on Lemay and West Prospect Streets by.this department since June 17, 1964. LEMAY AVENUE Date Time Location No. of Citations 6-17-64 5:99 - 7:00 P.M. Southbound Lemay (20 MPH zone 42 6-19-64 7-3-64 7-8-64 5:00 7:30 7:20 - 7:00 - 9:30 - 9:10 P.M. A.M. A.M. Southbound Northbound Northbound Lemay (20 MPH zone) Lemay " it it18 Lemay " it of18 21 You will note that there is a time gap between 6-19-64 and 7-3-64. This was due to lack of manpower. While radar was not used during this time, marked and unmarked patrols were plac- ed on Lemay at various times. A total of six speeding citations were issued as a.result of auto patrol. Of the total of 99 radar tickets issued, 15 were issued to trucks of various construction - six on 6-17, 2 on 6-19, 1 on 7-3, and 6 on 7-8. There was probably more speeding done by truck drivers than is indicated by the number of citations issued, but since the drivers sit so much higher than automobile operators they could see the radar units much easier and slowed down. Date Time Location No. of Citations 6=22-64 10:99 - 12:00 A.M. 2 mile W. of College 10 Wedtbound (30 MPH zone) 7-3-64 10:00 - 11:00 A.M. a mile W. of College 3 Westbound (30 MPH zone) Radar was not placed here too often because of lack of men. However, we did run patrols in the specific area several times but were not too successful. No trucks were issued radar tickets nor were any summoned by auto patrol'officers. Trucks were more frequent on Lemay than West Prospect. Inrreny instances they were ove and were quite noisy. This department will continue to place radar and auto patrols in the areas when possible. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Roy E. Hollady Chief of Police The City Manager presented the following memo to the City Council: July 9, 1964 MEMO To: Mayor and City Council From: R. F. Boos, City Manager Subject: Utilities Director and Administrative Assistant Appointments. ilities Director The City of Fort Collins has been fortunate for many years to have the part time services of Stan Case, and it is a sincere pleasure to announce his appointment as Utilities Director effective September 15, 1964- I am sure Stan is known to most residents of Fort Collins. He was raised in Fort Collins, is 46 years old, married and the Cases have three children. Stan graduated from Fort Collins High School, holds a B S Degree in Electrical Engineering and has worked for the City during the winter months in a consulting capacity since 1951. He has demonstrated technical competence, administrative ability, and an inti- mate knowledge of Fort Collins Light and Power Department and its needs. It is particularly gratifying to have a man of Stants ability available in the community to assume this impor- tant position. Administrative Assists Advertisements were run in the International City Manager's Association Newsletter and the Colorado Municipal League Magazine for applicants for the Administrative Assistant position indicating that a Master of Public Administrative Degree was required. There were 28 applications filed. All of the applicants have or were acquiring an MPA Degree and also have varying background and experience. The applications were screened and reduced to the four that appeared to have the most desirable qualifications and interviews requested. After careful con sideration, Mr. Harold D. Lynch was selected for the position. Mr. Lynch is currently a Lieutenant in the Army stationed at Fort Bill, Oklahoma and will be discharged July 31, 1964. He is 27 years old, married and the Lylnch's have three children. He holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Political Science from the Citadel, Charleston, South Carolina and a Master of Public Administration Degree from the University of Kansas and a graduate from the Kansas City Management Training Program. Prior to being called into the service he served for a ,year and a half as Administrative Assistant to the City Manager of Denison, Texas, a city of approximately 25,000 population in North Central Texas. His primary assignment in Denison was in the field of finance. Mr. Lynch's recomme ations arg outstanding and it is my sincere feeling that he appears to have a personality and attri`utes to be a competent and welcome addition to the staff and the community. He will be available to report for work the first week in August. Respectfully Submitted, /s/ R. F.
