New Managers for
Seward Utilities
(Continued from Dove one)
with the anticipated increase in
use it was more likely that 1960
would be the date on which the
City would find itself pinched for
power generating equipment.
It was Harstad’s recommenda
tion that the City file on at least
2 lakes so as to insulate itself
against any possible power short
age within the next ten years. The
Board agreed and the investiga
tions are proceeding to see which
extra lake should be developed.
CITY BUILDING
The City Manager broached the
problem of increased need for add
itional City office space. He told
the Board that he had in mind
a 40 by 100 foot building of con
crete blocks which would hoc.se
all City Offices including the Util
ities offices and possibly the Tele
phone office, should the City go
into that business.
The Board was a bit doubtful
until reassured that they would
only be asked to pay a portion of
the cost of construction and that
would be determined by the pro
portoinate part which they used
in the overall building as compar
ed to the use made by other City
Departments.
Actual construction of such a
building would likely require a
bond issue and voter approval of
the bonds and construction pro
gram.
In the event that such a build
ing was constructed the area now
used by the City Clerk. Manger,
Council Chambers would probably
be made a part of the Fire Hall
facilities.
RESIGNATION
As the meeting drew to a close
John Rosness submitted his res
ignation from the Board.
Next meeting of the Board will
be held October 12 at 8 in the
City Council Chambers. The pub
lic is invited to attend.
