OFF AGENDA ITEMS Motion -- Knight noved that the rules be set aside and several Items be taken up off the -- carried Agenda. Motion carried 6 to 0. (Gale absent) SUMMIT OF MAYORS SUMMIT OF MAYORS Mayor Knight Mayor Knight stated that he had received an invitation to attend an important conference, the Summit of Mayors along the I-35 Corridor which will include representatives from Canada to Mexico, which the Mayor will be unable to attend. The conference is very important to the future of Wichita in terms of trade and economic development opportunities. Motion -- Knight noved that Council Member Ferris (representing the Mayor) and City Manager -- carried Chris Cherches be asked to attend the Conference. Motion carried 6 to 0. (Gale absent) MTA METROPOLITAN TRANSIT AUTHORITY (MTA). Mayor Knight Mayor Knight said the present situation at the Metropolitan Transit Authority is not working and local taxpayers are under duress to increase tax subsidies more and more every year to keep even the current level of service operating. Bus drivers and other employees are clearly not satisfied with the package of wages and benefits afforded them. And, the transit dependent public apparently feels that the services they are receiving are getting worse. The current fixed-route system seems to be a public transit dinosaur. By normal measures, it is cost efficient but not cost effective; otherwise, buses would not be seen every day on the streets with few or any riders. That does not mean there are not people who need public transportation. It does not mean that the bus drivers are not very committed. It probably means that the system used to provide public transit is not meeting the wide range of needs. Too many times, the City Council has been presented with statistics that often show up to 10,000 or 15,000 Wichitans relying on the bus system daily. In reality, after accounting for round trips, transfers, and other factors, the transit dependent public is substantially less than that. Addressing the needs of several thousand people may be possible from a radically different public transit system than the current system. The MTA Board is made up of some very dedicated civic-minded citizens but their response to the labor strike makes it clear that they are looking to the elected officials to be the real decision makers in resolving the public transit challenge. The MTA Board provided a budget to the City Council for 1997. The City Council even added to that budget request in the amount of $50,000. But, when the chips were down, and push came to shove, the MTA Board's solution to that challenge was to disavow their own budget as inadequate. It is time for the City Council to begin changing the status quo and a three-point initiative is being recommended: 1) Since the public, news media, and the current MTA Board are looking to the City Council to resolve the problems of the MTA, it is time the City Council recognize that the MTA Board should become officially what it already is in reality - advisory to the City Council. The City Council should direct the City Manager and the Director of Law to return with a Charter Ordinance which restructures the governance of public transit so that the policy making is the purview of the City Council, with input from an MTA Advisory Board, and the administration of the MTA would be under the City Manager. 2) The City Council should strive to re-establish harmony between labor and management. It is hoped that the up-coming fact finding is an opportunity to explore ways and means to address the terms of the MTA drivers and mechanics. In doing so, it is hoped that the employees and their union leaders recognize the need to consider all options and not just those that require the local taxpayer to pay more and more money year after year. 3) In the coming months, alternatives for public transportation need to be very carefully re-examined for the City's public transit future. Public transportation that meets the essential needs of the transit-dependent population should be the goal. Mayor Knight asked the Council's support for the return of the item for discussion and Council decision in one week, if practical. Consensus of the Council was in support of the Mayor. Motion -- Knight noved that 1) this matter be brought up before the City Council and the Community for discussion and decision on Tuesday, March 25th, on bringing the Metropolitan Transit Authority under the purview of the Wichita City Council (the MTA Board would be advisory, rather than administrative); 2) that there be very quick action in re-establishing connections and dialogue on the labor/management challenges the system is currently facing (with no preconceived direction as to how that would occur); 3) and that the City Council carefully re-examine, in the coming months, how public transportation is delivered on behalf of this -- carried community. Motion carried 6 to 0. (Gale absent) RAILROAD MERGER RAILROAD MERGER. Mayor Knight Mayor Knight stated that, with regard to the train situation, he did not view the City's position as being unreasonable, anti-railroad, or intractible to alternative suggestions of consideration. Mayor Knight said he did think everything that can be done ought to be done to get the railroad to seriously consider a bypass around Wichita - as a first preference. The City Council expressed consensus in support of the Mayor on this matter. Mayor Knight left the Bench; Vice Mayor Cather in the Chair. PUBLIC AGENDA COMMENTS BY DALE J. POE. Council Member Kamen Council Member Kamen explained that this matter had been heard and approved by the Traffic Commission but Staff had recommended against the request. Mr. Poe is present to convince theCouncil that a hearing is needed before the City Council. Dale Poe Dale Poe, 151 South Old Manor, reviewed the process he had been through over the past several months in an effort to have stop signs installed at the intersection of English and Old Manor. The initial request was denied by the Traffic Engineer and the Assistant City Engineer. Council Member Kamen then had the item placed on the Traffic Commission's November 19, 1996, Agenda. At the Traffic Commission hearing, fourteen residents of the two-block area were present in support of the stop signs. The Traffic Commission voted six to zero to recommend the City Council approval the stop sign request. Mr. Poe and the neighborhood residents were not advised as to when the matter would be heard by the City Council but, after the fact, learned that the matter had appeard on the Consent Agenda on February 4, 1997, and that, as a result of the Traffic Engineer's recommendation that the signs be denied, the report was received and filed and no action was taken to install stop signs. Mr. Poe said he and the neighbors feel stop signs are necessary to provide safety for the children and adults who walk the streets and sidewalks of the area. The Neighborhood Initiative objective of neighborhood empowerment inspired the movement toinstall the stop signs desired at English and Old Manor. Given the City's concentrated efforts in the last few years to strengthen neighborhoods and build partnerships between local government and citizens, it is not understood why the request has been denied, why the City Traffic Engineer has absolute veto power over the wishes of neighborhood residents and the Traffic commission's reccommendation. The open intersection of English and Old Manor is dangerous. The people who live in the neighborhood know the large number of near-misses that have occurred and continue to occur between vehicles, vehicles and pedestrians, and vehicles and bicycles. Council Member Kamen Council Member Kamen asked that staff re-distribute the minutes of the Traffic Commission and the staff recommendations to Council Members during the next week; and that the City Manager poll the Council Members and if there is a majority who wish to re-open the public hearing in front of the council, the matter be placed on a future Agenda. Council Member Kamen will advise Mr. Poe of the Council's decision. UNFINISHED BUSINESS LICENSE APPLICATIONS LICENSE APPLICATIONS. Continued from the March 4, 1997, meeting. Gary Rebenstorf Director of Law reviewed the items. a. Skylander Lounge Some of the required inspections have not been completed on the Skylander Lounge because access has not been available. If access is not gained, the application fee will be returned. b. New Elite Dating c. Primetime Entertainment d. Showgirls The New Elite Dating, Primetime Entertainment, and Showgirls applications have met the requirements for approval. Under current ordinances, if the license procedures are followed and the applicants meet the approval requirements, the licenses must be granted by the City Council. The Ordinances would have to be changed in order to change the procedure. Council Member Rogers Council Member Rogers stated that there are a number of businesses that might not be desirable in neighborhoods. There needs to be ordinances that are broad enough to encompass all businesses but tight enough so the kinds of behaviours that are not desired can be eliminated - within legal limits. Council Member Rogers said he is reluctant to change the process without looking at all of the options and the impact that might be had if the process is changed. Council Member Cole Council Member Cole spoke regarding the problem of how to deal with situations in which a current owner of a business has been found unfit to hold a license but then has another person seek licensure of the same business with the original person retaining a degree of management or responsibility of these kinds of facilities. Gary Rebenstorf Director of Law explained that the ordinances provide that the person who applies for the license has to meet the criteria and must show the business arrangement or setup. The Police Department reviews the application to ensure the application is accurate and that there is not misleading information provided. The Police Department tries to make sure they are dealing with the correct people. If there is some type of arrangement that is being made to try to get around the ordinance, the ordinances provide for the Police Department to do a check to make sure the review is on the proper people for the license. There has been a request that the escort ordinance be looked at as to the distance requirement and the Law Department is in the process of getting the ordinances to the Council for review. Council Member Cather Council Member Cather asked that research be done regarding an ordinance requiring licensing of escort service workers - requiring disclosure of name and all aliases, criminal records, addresses for the last four or five years, and other vital statistic type information, and that the matter be brought back to the Council when prepared by the Law Department. Council Member Kamen Council Member Kamen asked that research also be done regarding the problem of a convicted felon not being able to own a club (State Law) but being able to get people to sign who are not convicted felons (but who also do not invest in the business). Then the convicted felon becomes the operator of the business - sort of a front. There needs to be a way to remedy this situation. If the City can find a means to alleviate the problem, at least to some extent, the recommendation needs to be made to the State Legislature. Motion -- Cather moved that the (b), (c), and (d) licenses be approved and that the (a) -- carried Skylander Lounge license be deferred two weeks. Motion carried 4 to 1. Rogers - No. (The Council proceeded to take up time-certain Item No. 7; action is shown in Agenda order.) MUNICIPAL COURT REPORT MUNICIPAL COURT JUDGES QUARTERLY REPORT. Continued from March 4, 1997. Council Member Cole momentarily absent. Agenda Report No. 97-175. Harold Flaigle Municipal Court Administrative Judge reviewed the Report. The following is a list of major changes during the past quarter: * Roger Clark was appointed as full-time Court Administrator. * Court Rules have been approved. * New rules for Bondsmen have been approved. * New court sessions have been added including night court on Wednesday nights and expanded use of the city council chambers for appearances. * Completion of required programming to allow installation of new computer programs for issuance of "paperless" warrants. * Completion of remodel plans, including a new "video" courtroom. * Completion of a Court Procedures Manual. * Final training and issuance of uniforms and equipment to new warrant officers. * Court workload summary. Judge Flaigle reviewed Municipal Court case load statistics with the following statements and forecasts: 1. The Municipal Court Judges are working longer hours, harder, and smarter. In 1997, the Municipal court anticipates the need to handle 201,783 docket appearances based on annual growth of 23.57 percent during the past three years. 2. The Municipal court continues to handle thousands more new cases every year. In 1997, the Municipal court expects a minimum of 53,853 new case arraignments (based on an annual average growth rate over the past three years of 19.7 percent). 3. The Municipal court is losing ground in keeping up with the cases filed. In the past four years, the system has beenunable to dispose of more than 36,026 cases per year. If that number does not significantly increase, and as projected 53,853 new cases come into the court in 1997, by January 1, 1998, there will be 17,827 more cases pending than on January 1, 1997. 4. While the increasing reliance upon the use of Judges pro Tempore as Municipal court Judges has generated complaints of inconsistency and lack of quality experience, these part time judges have been the only means of keeping up with the case loads. 5. The Municipal Court Judges have extended themselves to the limit to keep up with the increasing demands of their judicial and administrative tasks. 6. The projections for 1997 indicate things will get much worse before they get better. A court system which in the past has never been able to dispose of more than 36,026 cases annually must now find some way to dispose of 65,000 by plea, trial, or dismissal during 1997 to avoid adding to the backlog of cases for 1998. 7. Based on these projections, the Municipal Court lacks sufficient judges, staff, prosecutors and courtrooms to handle the 1997 caseload. Council Member Kamen momentarily absent. Vice Mayor Cather Vice Mayor Cather inquired if anyone wished to be heard. Dan Brooks Dan Brooks, Retired District Court Judge, recommended the following: 1. Investment in a first-rate information system, linked directly with law enforcement and the jail, especially on matters of probation and bond conditions. 2. Creation and equipment of enough judges/hearing officers and staff to get control of the docket. 3. Police policy that warrant execution and enforcement is a priority second only to 911 response. 4. The Administrative Judge should personally oversee the creation of an enforcement division, and report quarterly on meeting the following standards: a. Trial of new cases within 60 days and sentencing within a further 30 days. b. Initial review for probation violators within 24 hours and hearing within ;7 days for those held in jail. c. Apprehension within 24 hours of who fail to appear. d. Collection of 85 percent of fines and costs. Motion -- carried Rogers moved that the Report be received and filed. Motion carried 5 to 0. (Gale, Knight; absent) NEW BUSINESS 29TH STREET BRIDGE IMPROVEMENTS TO 29TH STREET BRIDGE EAST OF OLIVER. (District I) Steve Lackey Director of Public Works reviewed the Item. Agenda Report No. 97-206 On February 8, 1994, the City Council entered into an agreement with Savoy, Ruggles & Bohm, P.A. (SRB) for the design of improvements to 29th Street North Bridge east of Oliver over a tributary branch of Chisholm Creek east of Oliver. The 1997 Capital Improvement Program includes a project to construct the improvements (CIP Project No. B-9302, page 115). The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) requested that SRB modify the construction plans to reduce the number of through lanes over the bridge to three, and to install corral rails to separate vehicle and pedestrian traffic. The additional design services total $2,900. The existing bridge structure is inadequate and needs to be upgraded prior to street construction. 29th Street North from Oliver to Woodlawn is currently under design and scheduled for construction in 1999. The estimated cost for rehabilitating the bridge is $360,000 with $130,000 paid by the City and $230,000 by Federal grants administered by the Kansas Department of Transportation. The funding source for the City's share is General Obligation Bonds. Payment to SRB will be made on a lump sum basis not to exceed $2,900 and will be funded by the above listed project. The authorizing ordinance and the supplemental agreement have been approved as to legal form by the Law Department. Construction is scheduled to begin in July of this year and end in September. The street will be closed during construction. Vice Mayor Cather Vice Mayor Cather inquired if anyone wished to be heard and no one appeared. Motion -- Rogers moved that the project be approved and the Ordinance be placed on first reading; and the Supplemental Agreement be approved and authorize the Mayor to -- carried sign. Motion carried 5 to 0. (Gale, Knight; absent) ORDINANCE An Ordinance declaring 29th Street Bridge east of Oliver (472-82804) to be a main trafficway within the City of Wichita, Kansas; declaring the necessity of and authorizing certain improvements to said main trafficway; and setting forth the nature of said improvements, the estimated costs thereof, and the manner of payment of same, introduced and under the rules laid over. (The Council proceeded to take up time certain Item No. 8; action is sown in Agenda order.) 29TH STREET NORTH IMPROVEMENTS TO 29TH STREET NORTH FROM AMIDON TO ARKANSAS. (District VI) Steve Lackey Director of Public Works reviewed the Item. Agenda Report No. 97-207 The 1997 Capital Improvement Program includes a project to improve 29th Street North from Amidon to Arkansas (CIP Project No. MS-1, page 62). CPO Council 6 considered the project on February 26, 1997. The Council voted 6-0 to support a three-lane roadway with one lane eastbound, one lane westbound, and a center two-way left turn lane. 29th Street North, from Amidon to Arkansas, is a two-lane asphalt mat roadway without curb and gutter. Sections of the roadway area have substandard roadside drainage ditches. The proposed improvements consist of: 1) reconstructing 29th to three lanes, 2) installing sidewalks along both sides of 29th, and 3) landscaping the right-of-way. The estimated project cost is $2,100,000. The funding source is General Obligation Bonds. Construction is tentatively scheduled to begin late this year with paving to be completed in mid-1998. Access will be provided to adjacent businesses during construction, but traffic flow will be limited to one lane in one direction because of narrow right-of-way conditions. Vice Mayor Cather Vice Mayor Cather inquired if anyone wished to be heard. Barton Cody Barton Cody, 902 West 29th, spoke in support of the Project. Don Lombard Don Lombard, Gene's Auto Service, said the traffic has not changed in the area and three lanes would not stop traffic problems. Preference would be to leave the street as it is. Don Lineback Don Lineback, 1051 West 29th North, said there is no reason for three lanes for turning. All that is needed is improved drainage and street resurfacing. This is wasting money. Mrs. Lombard Mrs. Lombard said they are not against resurfacing the two lane. The elderly are apprehensive about changes, especially those that make it more difficult to get where they need to go to. Ms. Lombard asked that Council Members go into the area and evaluate the situation. Ms. Lineback Ms. Lineback spoke of concern for personal safety. Mrs. Lineback urged resurfacing only. Bill McKinley Traffic Engineer said those speaking at todays meeting also spoke at the CPO meeting. There never was a consensus at the CPO meeting. A majority of the people on the street have indicated that three lanes is better than four. Some believe that as is would be the best. Motion -- Cole moved that this Item be deferred three weeks; that Council Member cole arrange a meeting with the property owners to discuss the matter; and that a report be requested from the school district regarding whether sidewalks on both sides would help with some of the hazardous busing being removed. Motion carried -- carried 5 to 0. (Gale, Knight; absent) IRB REQUEST FOR LETTER OF INTENT FOR INDUSTRIAL REVENUE BONDS - MID-CONTINENT INSTRUMENTS, INC. (District II) Chris Cherches City Manager reviewed the Item. Agenda Report No. 97-208 Mid-Continent Instruments, Inc. is requesting the issuance of a Letter of Intent for Industrial Revenue Bonds in an amount not to exceed $4,200,000. The bond proceeds will be used to construct and equip a new aircraft instrument manufacturing headquarters facility located at Webb Road and 34th Street North (across from Jabara Airport) in northeast Wichita and to purchase machinery and equipment. Mid-Continent Instruments is also requesting that the City grant a 100% ad valorem tax abatement for a 5-year period with an additional 5-year extension upon review and approval by the City Council. Mid-Continent Instruments designs, manufactures and distributes aircraft instruments. Mid-Continent Instruments' instrument program is one of the largest in the world. The Company supplies gyros, altimeters and autopilot components to customers operating light single-engine planes to heavy, twin corporate jets to helicopter operations. Proceeds from the bonds will be used to construct a 51,000 s.f. facility at a cost of $4,200,000 and to purchase machinery and equipment as follows: USES OF FUNDS * Construct New Building $4,050,000 * Purchase Machinery and Equipment 150,000 Total Cost of Project: $4,200,000 Mid-Continent Instruments currently employs 88 people. Current expansion plans for Mid-Continent Instruments, forecast an increase in employment of approximately 60 people over the next five years. If these projections are met, over $2,370,000 in new personal annual income will be added to the Wichita economy through wages paid to Mid-Continent's expanded work force. 100% of the company's product is ultimately exported outside the state. A cost/benefit analysis based on the fiscal and economic impact of the expansion project has been performed by the Wichita State University's Center for Economic Development and Business Research. The study reflects cost/benefit ratios of 1.5 to one for the City; 1.3 to one for Sedgwick County; one to one for USD 259 and 4.3 to one for the State. Mid-Continent Instruments agrees to file a current approved EEO/AA Plan with the City's Human Resources Department and a Water Conservation Plan with the Division of Natural Resources prior to the issuance of the bonds. The bonds will be privately placed with a financial institution. The firm of Hinkle, Eberhart and Elkouri, L.L.C. will serve as bond counsel in the transaction. Mid-Continent Instruments agrees to pay all costs of issuing the bonds and agrees to pay the City's $2,500 annual IRB administrative fee for the term of the bonds. Mid-Continent Instruments is also requesting a 100% tax abatement of ad valorem property taxes on the project for a 5-year period, with a second 5 years based on Council review. Under the City's Business Incentive Policy, Mid-Continent Instruments would qualify for a 100% tax abatement on the project based on new employment, capital investment and export trade. The real and personal property taxes paid by Mid-Continent Instruments in 1996 was $6,582.47. If the 100% tax abatement is approved, the estimated amount of taxes that would be abated in the first year are $117,711 (based on projected costs of construction), of which $32,641 is the City portion, $30,881 the County/State portion, and $54,189 the U.S.D. 259 portion, based on the 1996 mill levy of 112.682 mills. Vice Mayor Cather Vice Mayor Cather inquired if anyone wished to be heard and no one appeared. Motion -- Kamen moved that a Letter of Intent to Mid-Continent, Inc. for Industrial Revenue Bonds in an amount not to exceed $4.2 million, and a five-year tax abatement with a review possibility at the end of the five years to determine future abatements for not to exceed an additional five-years, be granted, subject to the following conditions: 1. Negotiation of a Lease Agreement and Bond Ordinance. 2. Arrangements have been made for the sale/placement of the bonds. 3. Guarantees for the payment of the bonds are in place. 4. Agreement to pay the City administrative fees of $2,500 per year for as long as the bonds are outstanding. 5. Agreement to pay all costs incurred by the City for processing the bonds/application. 6. An approved Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action Plan is on file with the City prior to issuance of the bonds. 7.

Agreement to provide the City, prior to submitting the proposed Lease Agreement, an Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) that documents the environmental conditions of the property, and an agreement that the ESA will be conducted by and independent consultant who is a recognized expert in the area. Industrial Revenue Bonds will not be issued if the ESA discloses environmental conditions that might have implications for bond purchasers unde the liability provisions of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA). 10. Agreement that if the bonds are to be offered for sale to the public, the applicant will not, during the period of time the bonds are outstanding, have a commercial banking relationship with the trustee of the bonds to be issued unless the original purchaser of the bonds acknowledges in writing the existence of the relationship and waives any conflict that might exist as a result of the relationship. 11. Applicant is required to furnish copies of its annual audits to the City. 12. Cooperation with any annual compliance audit procedure the City may adopt to monitor compliance with conditions, including any annual reports required of the applicant and any inspections of the applicant's premises or interviews with the applicant's staff. 13. Commitment to achieve and maintain its proposed employment goals, and to meet its Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action goals, during the term of the tax abatement. If the applicant fails to demonstrate a good- faith effort to achieve these goals, the City may revoke the tax abatement by either imposing payments-in-lieu-of-taxes or by declining to make the annual exemption filing with the Board of Tax Appeals. All repayments of in-lieu taxes shall be redistributed to the other taxing authorities in accordance with the law. 14.

SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS HEARING ON PROPOSED ASSESSMENTS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WATER AND SEWER PROJECTS AND (Item No. 8) IMPROVING OF STREETS. Steve Lackey Director of Public Works reviewed the Item. a. Water Projects and Sewer Projects. Agenda Report No. 97-209 The Council was notified on March 4, 1997, that the proposed assessment rolls were on file for public inspection in the Special Assessments Section of the City Clerk's office. Notice of hearing was published March 7, 1997, ten days prior to the date of hearing, and affected property owners have been notified in writing. City personnel held an informal hearing March 12, 1997, for the paving projects, and March 13, 1997 for the sewer projects. Statements of Special Assessment will be mailed to the property owners on March 28, 1997. The property owners have 30 days from date of statement to pay their assessment and avoid paying interest. The assessments not paid during this period will be in the July 1997 Bond Sale and put on the 1997 tax roll over a 15-year spread at the interest rate for which the bonds sell. These projects were initiated pursuant to provisions of K.S.A. 12-6a01 et seq. All were 100% petitions. a.

SOUND AMPLIFICATION PROPOSED ORDINANCE PERTAINING TO SOUND AMPLIFICATION SYSTEMS IN VEHICLES. Gary Rebenstorf Director of Law reviewed the Item. Council Member Kamen left the Bench. Agenda Report No. 97-211. The Police Department responds to numerous citizen complaints pertaining to amplified sound from vehicles throughout the city. The current ordinance allows police officers to cite only vehicle operators who are adults. Juveniles must be taken into ducstody and released to their parent or taken to the Juvenile Detention Facility, if no parent can be located. Existing conditions force officers to spend a significant amount of time to process juvenile violators. The proposed change removes the "sound amplification systems in vehicles" ordinance from Chapter 5.58 and adds the ordinance to Title 11.38.380, and effectively makes the ordinance a part of the City's traffic laws. The ordinance will remain the same except it sets forth a $50 fine as a mandatory penalty. Vice Mayor Cather Vice Mayor Cather inquired if anyone wished to be heard and no one appeared. Motion -- Cather moved that the Ordinance be placed on first reading. Motion carried -- carried 4 to 0. (Gale, Kamen, Knight; absent) ORDINANCE An Ordinance creating Section 11.38.380 of the Code of the city of Wichita, Kansas, pertaining to the prohibition of loud sound amplification systems in vehicles and the penalty therefore, and repealing chapter 5.58 of the Code, introduced and under the rules laid over.

Federal and State telecommunications legislation adopted in 1996 allows for many changes in the telecommunications industry. Among the developments is the ability of new businesses to provide local telephone service in competition to Southwestern Bell Telephone (SWBT). A number of companies have already announced that they will soon compete with SWBT. In return, the legislative reforms grant SWBT the ability to provide long distance service out of its local area (inter-LATA). SWBT is in a position to file an application with the Federal Communications Comission (FCC) to provide long distance service. SWBT seeks the support of the City of Wichita, along with that of other communities and local business in this effort. Prior to filing for permission to provide inter-LATA long distance service, SWBT must demonstrate to the Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC) that such service will be in the public interest. It is in the best interest of the public that the citizens of wichita have the right to choose a company like SWBT to provide their inter-LATA long distance service. The letter neither endorses nor encourages use of SWBT service. The letter of support will be added to letters of support from others to demonstrate to the KCC and FCC the public interest in allowing more consumer choice in the long distance market, as well as in local service. It will also emphasize the importance of continued employment opportunities in the community. Motion -- Cather moved that the Mayor be authorized to send a letter to the KCC expressing support for Southwestern Bell Telephone's entry into the long distance business. -- carried Motion carried 5 to 0.
