PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD:
B - 1:
Mike Fargo - .State Highway Department
Mr. Fargo apologized for the rough road but there is not
much we can do as wet as it is. Weather permitting they
will start priming tomorrow and maybe start paving Saturday.
The street lights are on and operable tonight.
Mayor Steinbeck - How long will it take to pave the road?
Mike Fargo - Two or three weeks.
City Manager - Administration met with the highway Engineers
from Anchorage. The City is pretty well committed to pay for
the lighting on the Urban Section. Mr. Robbins, City Manager,
in March 1970 wrote the Department of Highways that the City
is prepared to maintain the necessary illujtihaires and to
provide or pay for the power required. If a precedent is set
in other communities, we will be able to get out of the contract.
It is the State's responsibility for maintenance of the highway,
sidewalks and grass. The City could enter into a contract with
the State to maintain the seeded area and sidewalks, if
necessary, but only on a cost plus basis.
Mike Fargo - The State has a new policy for paying for
TI-ghting on major intersections. When the policy is funded
the State will take over approximately 14 of these
illuMinaires.'

caravans in July 1972. 104 from Wally Byam and approx-
imately 70 from Dodge Travoleado. Tho community wont all

with the reception. They enjoyed the wild game dinner,
the tour of the potro-chemical plant, the Russian 'Tea,
Honorary Chamber of Commerce memberships and the general
friendliness of the community. This has created a good
will ambassadorship for future caravaners.
