To: The Mayor and Board of Aldermen

Gentlemen:

We, the undersigned, have been concerned for some time about our local traffic problems on College Hill Road from its intersection at Highway•#6 to the airport. This problem has now been augmented by the erection of a large apartment complex near the airport entrance with its concomitant addition to the traffic flow.

As you are aware, traffic complications occur constantly at the intersection with Highway #6, Phillip Road, and Washington Avenue. It now appears that the additional traffic occasioned by the apartment houses and other home buildings has increased the danger to those entering College Hill Road from Leighton Road and from certain "blind" private driveways opening onto College Hill Road.

The Honorable Richard W. Elliott City of Oxford City Hall

Dear Mayor Elliott:

During this year the City will be preparing documentation for (1) recertifica- tion of the Workable Program, (2) Urban Beautification, and (3) possible other federal programs, including community facilities.

We anticipate that as the City's Consultant we will spend approximately 38 mandays in these and other jobs for the City of Oxford, excluding urban renewal, public housing, and comprehensive planning.

I am, therefore, requesting from the City that the City agree to retain us at the following manday rates with maximum expenditure not to exceed $3,300.00:

Partner $150.00/manday Associate Partner 125.00/manday Planner 105.00/manday Senior Technician 85.00/manday Junior Technician 70.00/manday Secretary 50.00/manday

These rates will include travel to and from the City of. Oxford. (Air travel would be extra). The maximum figure of $3,300.00 was based upon mandays expended during the past year. During that period we spent approximately $2,700.00 in mandays on the Workable Program, Urban Beautification, and other more minor work areas.

If you are in agreement that this suits the City's needs, a letter to that effect would suffice.

Very truly yours,

Mr. Richard W. Elliott Mayor, City of Oxford Oxford, Mississippi 38655

Dear Mayor Elliott:

With further reference to your letter of May 9, 1968, in which the City of Oxford offered to purchase our facilities located within the City of Oxford for the sum of $225,000,plus additions less retirements, our Board has requested me to advise that they do not consider such offer to be adequate, and authorized me to make a counter-proposal which is the appraisal of McWhorter and Franklin, as set forth in detail in Exhibit "A" hereto.

This matter has had our careful attention during the past several months and in reviewing our filed it appears that our Board joined with your Board in employing McWhorter and Franklin to make an appraisal for negotiation between our Boards. Very frankly, our Board feels that the appraisal of McWhorter and Franklin is low, but in view of our agreement we feel compelled to accept their appraisal and to submit to you as a counter-proposal.

We trust that you will give this proposal your careful consideration and if such meets with your approval, we will be happy to discuss terms of payment. 7:3 MINUTE BOOK No. 24, CITY OF OXFORD

You may be assured that it is the desire of our Board to affect a settlement that will be fair to both the City and the Association.

The Executive Committee of Parents-Teacher Association of Oxford Municipal Separate School District appeared before the Mayor and Board of Aldermen to present the following petition:

The Executive Committee of the Parents-Teacher Association of the Oxford

Separate School District in their August meeting adopted the following petition

to present to the Board of Aldermen, City of Oxford, MisSissippi:

"The Parent-Teacher Association respectively request that the Board

of Aldermen of the City of Oxford hire part time women traffic con-

trollers. These controllers would be stationed at the strategic

areas where children are walking to and from the school facilities.

It is requested that in addition to the traffic controllers that

certain streets in the vicinity of the schools be zoned as school

routes and that portable traffic warning flags be used to clearly

distinguish the crossing along these designated routes."

The Executive Committee feels that this type of traffic warning and con-

- trol is urgently needed at the major routes to our school system. The employ-

ment of these part time controllers would greatly relieve the demand on our

Police Department and this would release them to perform their normal duties.

We strongly request that favorable consideration be given to this petition.

Submitted by:

/s/ Mrs. Bob Towery, President

/s/ Mrs. E. Stanley Smathers, Vice Pres.'

/s/ Harold Houston, Sec.

/s/ K. M. Hayward, Trea.

After a discussion of the matter it was decided that a special meeting for the purpose of discussing further the possibility of hiring school crossing guards would be held on September 10, 1968.

Came on for consideration the matter of a request from Mr. William F. Lyles and Mr. Luther McDougal for a determination by the Mayor and Board of Aldermen concerning the policy of the City regarding the construction and operation of a water distribution system and a sewer collection system in a proposed subdivision approximately one half mile from the corporate limits of the City of Oxford. After a discussion of this matter with Mr. John O. Leslie, Chairman of the Planning Commission, motion was made by Alderman Hannaford, seconded by Alderman Owens and passed unanimously that the policy of the City will be that it will not construct and operate water distribution systems-and sewer collection systemqoutside of the corporate limits of the City.

Motion was made by Alderman Owens, seconded by Alderman Sisk and passed unanimously to approve and affirthe action of Mayor Richard W. Elliott in executing the following agreement with Gasner, Nathan, Browne, Seabrook Archi- tects Planners, Inc.:

The Honorable Richard W. Elliott Mayor City Hall Oxford, Mississippi

Dear Mayor Elliott:

In accordance with our conversation at the meeting August 13, we would propose doing a General Sketch Plan with specific recommendations for improvements in the parking lot where the Negro employees park and wait for their employers to pick them up.

The fee for this work would be $300.00, which should allow as much as $1,300 of the original Court House Square Allocation for the necessary improvements in this area. It is my understanding, although no agreement has been reached, that we will recommend an additional share of money for court square improvements out of next year's Beautification Budget. If this proposal is agreeable to you, please indicate on the place so marked with your signature and return it to us. We will begin work immediately on this so that we can meet you as soon as possible to present our findings. In addition, I have advised your attorney of my conversation with the HUD people in Atlanta that the City could obtain an extension of time in which to carry out the tree planting, due to the season of the year, providing the attorney indicate by letter the reasons for justifying such a request.

Sincerely yours,

8. No Cooperation Agreement heretofore entered into between the Municipality and the Local Authority shall be construed to apply to any Project covered by this Agreement.

Should they start trying to out-do each other or trying to block each other, the situation could go the other way. It is up to all of us to do our part to keep on the track. With every good wish for a successful and happy New Year,

Sincerely,

Motion was made by Alderman Hannaford, seconded by Alderman McLaurin and passed unanimously authorizing the Mayor to sign and execute the following resolution:

A RESOLUTION EXPRESSING THE WILLINGNESS AND DESIRE OF THE CITY OF OXFORD, MISSISSIPPI, TO SWAP THE PROPERTY OCCUPIED BY OXFORD'S CITY HALL, FIRE STATION, AND POLICE STATION WITH THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THAT PROPERTY OCCUPIED BY THE UNITED STATES POST OFFICE AND COURTHOUSE IN OXFORD, THE INTENTION OF SAID CITY TO COOPERATE FULLY IN ALL RESPECTS TOWARD THE CON- STRUCTION OF A NEW FEDERAL BUILDING IN OXFORD, AND DIRECTING THE CITY CLERK TO MAKE CERTAIN DISTRIBUTION OF COPIES OF THIS RESOLUTION.

WHEREAS, the United States Post Office and Courthouse at Oxford, Mississ- ippi, was constructed in the Noneteenth Century to serve the needs of the people and Federal officials of that day and time; and

WHEREAS, such United States Post Office and Courthouse is wholly inadequate to serve the needs of the people of the United States and particularly those residing within the N o rthern District of Mississippi in this day and time;: and

WHEREAS, all who are familiar with such facility, including the United States Senators and Congressmen from Mississippi, the Federal judges, other Federal officials, the General Services Administration, and the people of the United States who have business of any kind in such building, recognize its inadequacy; and

WHEREAS, General Services Administration has an option to purchase the Oxford Grammar School property from the Board of Trustees of the Oxford Muni- cipal Separate School District, said property being the proposed site for a new Federal Building; and

249 MINUTE BOOK No. 24, CITY OF OXFORD

97768— avama-main

WHEREAS, The City of Oxford's City Hall, Fire Station, and Police Station are all located on property west of, and contiguous to, the Oxford Grammar S c hool property; and

WHEREAS, the proposed Federal Building site is a most desirable one and would be even more outstanding if the City's aforementioned services were located elsewhere, because of the noises and distractions that are the result of the operation of such services; and

WHEREAS, both of the United States District Judges of the Northern Dist- rict of Mississippi and other Federal officials are desirous of the property occupied by the foregoing City services becoming a part of the property on which will be located the proposed new Federal Building; and

WHEREAS, upon the completion of the new Federal Building, the present United States Post Office and Courthouse and its property will no longer be required by those few Federal agencies which it presently serves or by the people; and

WHEREAS, the present United States Post Office and Courthouse is so located that it would be a suitable site for Oxford's City Hall, Fire Station, and Police Station; and

WHEREAS, the Mayor and Board of Aldermen of The City of Oxford, Mississippi are most anxious to extend their fullest cooperation to all Federal officials to the end that the proposed Federal Building to be located in Oxford will be among the finest available; and

WHEREAS, such building should be an outstanding one since Oxford is the center for most all of the Federal agencies in the Northern District of Missis- sippi particularly the United States District Court, the Clerk's Office and the Probation Office of the Court, the United States Attorney's Office, the United States Marshal's Office, and many others, and Oxford has been tradi- tionally, and is likely to remain, such; and

WHEREAS, Oxford is an old community having many buildings of the traditional architecture of the Old South, and the historic appearance and location of the old United States Post Office and Courthouse on the Town Square should be preserved for the use and enjoyment of the citizens of Oxford, especially since Oxford's aforementioned municipal buildings were built in the days of Works Progress Administration, are of modern design and are not in harmony with the dominant traditional type buildings in the City; and

WHEREAS, a swap of the site of Oxford's aforementioned municipal buildings for the site of the present United States Post Office and Courthouse would be to the best interest of the people of the United States and the people of The City of Oxford;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT, AND IT IS HEREBY, RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND BOARD OF ALDERMEN OF THE CITY OF OXFORD, MISSISSIPPI:

1. That The City of Oxford hereby expresses its willingness and desire to swap the property occupied by Oxford's City Hall, Fire Station, and Police 1 Station with the General Services Administration, or such other properagency 1 of the United States, for that property presently occupied by the United States Post Office and Courthouse at such time as the General Services Administration os ready to go forward with such exchange;

2. That The City of Oxford hereby expresses its intention to cooperate fully in any and all other things necessary and proper to effect the construe- tion of a new and proper Federal Building to adequately serve the people of the United States and particularly those residing within the Northern District of Mississippi; and

3. That the City Clerk is directed to forward copies of this resolution to Senators James 0. Eastland and John C. Stennis, Congressmen Jamie L. Whitten and Thomas G. Abernethy, Chief United States District Judge William C. Keady, United States Distridtraidge.Orma R. Smith, United States Attorney H. M. Ray, United States Marshal John H.

A number of citizens who reside on Jeff Davis Road E x tended in Horne Sbudivision appeared before the Mayor and Board of Aldermen to request that the City of Oxford pave and otherwise improve their street. Mr. N. C. Horne, spokesman for the group, requested that the City Engineer make an estimate of the cost per lineal foot for the improvements before final action is taken to declare the improvements necessary.

After a discussion, motion was made by Alderman King, seconded by Alderman Owens, and passed unanimously to pave and make other required improvements to Jeff Davis Road Extended, if the majority of the resident property owners on said street still desire this to be done on a special assessment basis after the City Engineer has prepared his cost estimate for this project.

Alderman McLaurin introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:

A RESOLUTION DECLARING NECESSARY THE GRADING, PAVING, LAYING OF DRAINAGE SYSTEMS, SODDING, AND OTHER WORK INCIDENTAL TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF A PART OF THE STREET KNOWN AS SOUTH 9TH STREET IN THE CITY OF OXFORD, MISSISSIPPI, AND PROPOSING TO ISSUE BONDS OF THE CITY OF OXFORD FOR THE PURPOSE OF PAYING ALL COSTS OF SUCH IMPROVEMENTS.

July 16, 1969

Mr. Thomas Seabrook Thomas Seabrook & Associates, Planners, Inc. 107 Madison Memphis, Tennessee 38103

Dear Tom:

I have been concerned for some time about the updating of our comprehensive plan for Oxford.

The Planning Commission has indicated to me that you have not met with them to discuss the updating of the Oxford plan and that you have not sought their suggestions for such a plan, nor their approval of any part of the plan on which you are working. It appears to me that any plan which does not come from the people of Oxford, through their representatives, cannot be an Oxford plan. 4t 8 MINUTE BOOK No. 24, CITY OF OXFORD

The Mayor and Board of Aldermen met with the Oxford Planning Commission and Mr. E. Robert Daley on July 15, and Mr. Daley explained to us the position of your firm with the Research el Development Center. Mr. Daley indicated that his office wanted to assist you in any way it could but that he had made it clear to you that your firm must get on schedule and stay on schedule throughout the Oxford planning stage. Further, Mr. Daley agreed with me that an Ox- ford plan must necessarily involve regular meetings by you with the Planning Commission so that the Commission might make suggestions and review your work periodically.

I am familiar with the fact that you only recently obtained a written contract from the Research & Development Center. In view of this, I under- stand that it is impossible for you to be up-to-date with your work at this time; however, the purpose of this letter is to urge you to update your planning work on Oxford by October 1, 1969, remain on schedule thereafter, immediately establish communication with the Oxford Planning Commission, and meet with the Commission regularly thereafter.

Please be assured of my full cooperation with you. I have full confidence in your ability and experience and know that you can get this job done for' Oxford and for yourself.

Kindest personal regards.

Sincerely,

Richard W. Elliott

Alderman McLaurin read the following statement to the other members of the Mayor and Board of Aldermen:

MY CONCERNS REGARDING STREETS IN OXFORD, MISSISSIPPI

Although I am not primarily responsible for streets and related problems

in Oxford, I do feel very strongly concerned over some problems that I have

observed during the past four years and have some specific suggestions with

regard to plans for the future.

The construction of and maintenance of streets in the City of Oxford is a major portion of the City's expense. Although the City no longer is in the business of contributing toward the cost of construction of streets in new

subdivisions, there is responsibility to be assumed by the City in development

of major thoroughfares. The City assumes a total responsibility with regard to

maintenance of the streets of Oxford. I am of the opinion that there is demand-,

ed of the City an effort to engage in long range planning in order that the

tax dollar may be used to the greatest advantage and in order that Oxford may have streets in good repair and also streets when and where needed. The city

Board was forced to sell bonds to be payed off over a number of years in order

to maintain streets in adequate repair as recently as two years ago. I feel

this is very poor planning to borrow money for future repayment in order to

make necessary current repairs and maintenance, especially when it is likely

that much of the maintenance done is likely to be repeated in the period of

time prior to repayment of the bonds.

I woudl suggest the following solution to this dual problem. It is man-

datory that the City engage in long range planning with regard to development

of major thoroughfares. I do not mean subdivision streets, but I. refer to streets

of major nature which would serve all of the community or a major segment of

the community. It should be possible for us to project this in reference to plans for each year, extending over a period of five years and then with pro-

jections for five years intervals for at least an additional ten years. We have available an excellent opportunity to obtain sugnificant help in this

sort of planning from the effort being made to update our comprehensive plan

for Oxford. It is necessary that the City Board and the Street Department of

the City of Oxford participate in such planning and also that there be some

formal adoption of long range plan by the City Board for implementation by the

Street Department. This, of course, is not something to be answered in a month

or two, but should be answered at least by the time the updating of the compre-

hensive plan is completed. 81 MINUTE BOOK No. 24, CITY OF OXFORD

97768- IEFICNIMALUCINZ

The answer to the other part of the problem with reference to maintenance

of streets sounds perhaps formidable to begin with, but I believe if it is

approached on a very logical basis, we can arrive at a solution which will be

effective for Oxford. It is necessary for us to know what we have to maintain

before it is possible to make any projection as to how it is to be maintained

and what the costs of maintenance will be. On this basis, I would urge the

street department to prepare an inventory of streets of Oxford, that such inven-

tory include description of streets as to width and length and nature of sur-

face and condition of surface. It is possible that some of this information

may be available in relation to the efforts being made at updating the compre-

hensive plan, but I believe this would be primarily an effort on our part alone

to develop. It is desirable that this report should include also written recom-

mendations from the City Engineer or street department regarding desirable fre-

quency of improvement of surface on streets of different character, i.e., hot

mix asphalt, cement, asphalt and slag, etc. It is suggested that the streets

of Oxford be grouped in categories that would indicate need for immeidate re-

surfacing within the years 1969 or 1970, those that would require re-surfacing

within an intermediate time of 1971 or 1972, and those that would probably need

resurfacing in 1973 or a later date. It is possible that there might be need

for a category that would suggest change of type of surface for streets, possibl

from asphalt and slag to hot mix asphalt.

If the above study and classification is completed, it would be possible

for us to project basic maintenance requirements in relation to present condi-

; tions of streets, and it would also permit us to set up a plan of rotation of

streets maintenance. By doing this, we shouldbegin to maintain our streets on

a preventive basis rather than waiting until there were enough complaints com-

ing into City Hall with reference to a specific street to demand its repair.

I would offer another suggestion with regard to street department handling

of problems or requests for solution to problems street related. I think that

every complaint of request for aid regarding streets should be recorded in

writing and that action taken or reply made should also be recorded in writing.

Many of the complaints or reports of problems regarding streets I feel could be

alleviated by the suggested program of preventive maintenance suggested previou-

sly.

I have some suggestions with regard to means of making it easier for a

subdivider observe and comply with the suggestions of the subdivision. The

! regulations suggest that the streets and services 'le installed to the specifi-

cations required by or acceptable to the City Engineer. I most strongly urge MINUTE BOOK No. 24, CITY OF OXFORD

9776E1 ooneas.ana

that the Board ask the City Engineer to prepare and recommend to the City Board adoption of specifications of standards for waterline installations, sanitary

sewer installations, acceptable curb and gutter, and also street installation.

I would recommend that he consider and include, if feasible, some difference of,

standard of street construction for streets of differing character as indicated

in the regulations. In other words, the streets that are designed to carry the heavy load of traffic should meet more exacting specifications than a dead end street in a small residential area. I feel that this could be accomplished within a period of two months and returned to the Board for its action. Al- though this may require some time on the part of the City Engineer for deve-

lopment on paper, I feel that it will become a timesaving device for him in the future if such standards of specifications are on file in his office and available to the people who would be constructing such things.

I very strongly urge that the street department in its immediate and

long range planning communicate with the State Highway Department with reference to its long range plans for highways entering and leaving Oxford, as there are many instances when an understanding of such would lead to wiser spending of our city funds in street development.

There came on for consideration the matter of the feasibility of the

City consumating an arrangement with Charles H. Warner, John P. Morrow, Jr.,

W. E. Rose, Leona Rose, Eli Hughes and Nancy L. Hughes whereby the City would own an entire interest in a certain 25 acre tract in Marion County, Arkansas, rather than an undivided a interest in a 100 acre tract in the same county and state. The land involved if par of that deeded to the City by Miss Kate A. Skipwith, and the arrangement had been worked out by Mr. William Lewis, Jr. at the request of the Mayor and Board.

It appearing to the Mayor and Board that the foregoing is most desirable and in the best interest of the City, on motion of Alderman McLaurin, seconded by Alderman Pettis, and passed unanimously, the Mayor and City Clerk were authorized and directed to execute and deliver the following deeds for and in behalf of the City to the grantees therein set out, such delivery to be made when said grantees convey and warrant unto the City a deed to the aforementioned

25 acres, being the Southeast Quarter of the Northeast Quarter of the Northeast

Quarter of Section 9 and the West Half of the West Half of the Northwest Quar- ter of the Northwest Quarter of Section 10, Township 17 North, Range 14 West,

Marion County, Arkansas.

ember 16, 1969.

Protests were filed by Mrs. Virginia Burns and Mr. Ray Poole against the

It appearing that those protesting the improvements on Ole Miss Drive and

Cherokee Drive constitutes a majority of property owners owning more that (50%)

Fifty per cent of the front footage of the property involved and actually re-

siding on property owned by them and included within that part of the streets

proposed to be specially improved, or otherwise actually occupying property

owned by them included within the area, the Mayor and Board, therefore, re-

scinded its prior resolution declaring the improvements proposed necessary and

abandoned going forward with such improvements.

With respect to Jackson Avenue Extended, Mr. T. E. Combs, one qualified

under Section 3664-04, objected to the proposed improvements, and Mr. Harold

Bushing, who stated that he represented Mrs. Mary Judge, appeared and advised

that Mrs. Judge objected to such improvements on Jackson Avenue. The Board

finds that although Mrs. Judge is one qualified to object under Section 3664-04

her objection may not be sustained unless she appears in person, by attorney,

or by petition and, Mr. Bushing not being An attorney, the objection offered

in behalf of Mrs. Judge by him is not a valid objections. Mr. Russell Blair,

representing Mr. Seth Styers and Mr. Gerald A. Gafford, appeared and advised

that his clients would not object and that they would supply part of the funds

for the proposed improvements if the City would assume, a part of the expense

in the improvements. Mr. Blair's proposition not being clear to the Mayor and

Board, the City Attorney was advised to request Mr. Blair to make such proposal

in writing and, in the meantime, the Mayor and Board took up the matter of the

objections to Jackson Avenue Extended under advisement and continued it for

further consideation.
