Boos, City Manager City of Fort Collins, Colorado Dear Sir: I have received a poposal from Mr. Marion Jones, a local paper salvage dealer, for the paper salvage rights at our Sanitary Landfill. I can see some merit to this proposal, since the removal of 10 to 15% of the bulk at the Landfill would reduce our operating costs and we would also receive a small income, for the salvage rights. If it is the Council's desire to consider this offer, I would recommend that we advertise for bids on salvage rights, since there may be other parties interested in this same idea. Yours very truly, G. J. Weiss, Public Works Director. After discussion, it was the consensus of opinion of the City Council that if the City wished to consider the offer, that bids for salvage rights would be called for as re- commended by the City Engineer. Motion was made by Councilman Colwell, seconded by Council-. 329 Marc_h�9�_L961 man McMillan, that this matter be referred to the City Manager and Uity Attorney to prepare written specifications for bids for the paper salvage rights at the Sanitary Landfill.

I am in a position to watch this traffic most any time of the day, so may stop, then with the cars coming from the east going west, they never seem to want to stop so that the other fellow can cross going south or north. The 4-way stop seems to work so well on Oak and Mason I think traffic would go so much faster with 4-way stop. Thanking you for your consideration, I am, Sincerely yours, /s/ Mrs. Herman Welter 229 So.

The following communication was presented and read at length: FEDERAL AVIATION AGENCY Western Region March 17, 1964 Mr. Arthur March, Jr. City Attorney Poudre Valley National Bank Bldg. Fort Collins, Colorado Subject: Fort Collins -Loveland Airport Loveland, Colorado Project No. 9-05-038- OI Union Pacific Mineral Subordination Dear Mr. March: Confirming your telephone conversation of this morning with Mr. Gray, we have reviewed the Master Plan in view of the refusal of the Union Pacific Railroad to subordinate their mineral interest. It appears that the principal airport development is in the area east of the N/S runway (15/33). Therefore, if the Union Pacific Railroad is not agreeable to a subordination of their min- eral interest, we suggest you attempt to negotiate an agreement which would provide: (1) that drilling activity be restricted to the area west of Runway 15/33 identified on the Master Plan as "general land use assignment"; (2) that structures thereon shall not violate the height restrictions of TSO-N18; and (3) that, in general, the drilling activities and structures shall not impair airport operations nor constitute a safety hazard. Inasmuch as the standards and limitations of TSO-N18 may be precisely determined by engin- eering calculation on the ground, there would be no uncertainty as to whether a particular activity or structure is acceptable. Three copies of TSO-N18 are enclosed for your use, on of which has been changed in red to conform to the current amendments. All copies have the amendments attached to them. You will notice that the "transitional surface" will be the controlling surface on the West side of the unway. It begins 250 feet from the center- line of the runway att he runway elevation, then extends outward and upward at a slope of 7:1 to a height of 150 feet above the airport elevation where it intersects the "hor- izontal surface". Please advise if we can be of any assistance. Sincerely H. T. Kimbell, Jr. /s/ District Airport Engineer After discussion, motion was made by Councilman McMillan, seconded by Councilman Colwell, that the recommendation for certain alternatives in reference to the mineral rights at the Fort Collins -Loveland airport be referred to the City Attorney to make the necessary contacts with the Union Pacific Railroad Company when approved by the Council of the Council of the Cities of Fort Collins and Loveland.

The following communications were presented and read at length: FORT COLLINS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE March 12, 1964 STATEMENT TO: The Citv Council of the City of Fort Collins regarding the opening of Wes Elizabeth Street between South Shields Street and kyline rive. The developing area of Fort Collins increases the. need for roadways to carry our citizens to work, schools, shops, recreation and cultural activities. The completion of West Eliz- abeth Street from Shields to ''kyline seems to be particularly needed at this time. Resi- dents of the entire southwest area now depend mainly on the use of South Taft Hill, Mulberr and Prospect to reach the City's business complexes. The recent opening of the Campus West 331 Max-ch-19_,_196L� business district intensifies the need for better road service for circulation of traffic for consumer and business alike. The Gity is urged to give immediate study to this problem and make plans for the opening and development of the street if facts warrant this move. Approved by the Transportation Committee - March 4, 1964 /a/ Paul A. E. Miller Chairman Approved by the Board of Directors - March 6, 1964 /s/ Arthur R. Grovert President STATEMENT TO: re FORT COLLINS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE March 12, 1964 County Commissioners and Members of the C f Fort Collins Shields Street becomes of increasing importance to Fort Collins and Larimer County as urbanization continues to expand our boundaries with larger and frequent annexations. This growth puts new burdens on the Street each day. Improvement of the road between Fort Collit and Loveland make use of the road more attractive�to inter -city traffic. Use of the Street surpasses the use of manystate highways that are built to more sturdy specifications. The condition of Shields Street; gartiaularly between Laurel and Prospect, a is deplorable and actually dangerous. The changing nature in usage of Shields Street seems to dictate a new outlook as to responsibility for repairs and development. Therefore, the Fort Collins Chamber of Commerce sincerely urges both the City and County Government tax units to promptly apply themselves to the development of Shields Street. Approved by the Transportation Committee - March 4, 1964 /s/ Paul A. E. Miller Chairman Approved by the Board of Directors - March 6, 1964 /s/ Arthur R. Grovert President Mr. Frank Ghent presented the above letters and was advised by the City Council that they were cognizant with the situation referred to above and that they appreciated the interest of the Chamber of Commerce in these problems and hoped that in the very near future, that the recommendations as made, would be accomplished and the City Council accept ed the above communications and ordered them placed on file. Motion was made by Councilwoman Quinn, seconded by Councilman Guyer, that the Council adjourn. Roll was called resulting as follows: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Uolwell, McMillan, Guyer and Councilwoman Quinn. Nayes: None.
