Re Proposed Swim Meet - May 13th and 14th � The Recreation and Parks Commission, Ovid L. Holmes, Chairman, in a communication dated April 6th advi.sed they had decided not to recommend that City Council back a proposed invitational 5wim meet on May 13th and 14th; and listed their reasons for this decisi.on.

The Vote: Unanimous .Ayes. Recommendations of the Airpo'rt Commission � ' The Redding Airport, Commission, Cliarles Ha11; Chairman, under date �/ � of April 13th, advised they liad discussed the p`ossibility of recommending � to the City Council the employment. of a consulting engineering firm to make �� an airport usage survey. of_Redding Municipal A.irport, Bent.on A�irport and Sky Ranch in order that objective information be made available when a dec'ision is rriade regarding the retention of Benton Airport, or .that the property be sold for;:development by private capital. � 7 F 252 Following,the Mareh rneeting of the Airport Commission, City Manager Cbwden had contacted a number�of engineering firms. specializing in this type of work, and obtained from them an indication of their professional fees . At their April meeting the proposals were reviewed and it was obvious the firms had envisioned a survey beyond the scope the Commission had deemed necessary. For this reason they had again asked the City Manager to again contact the firms submitting proposals and discuss the ,scope of the intended survey that they may submit an amended proposal if they so wished. It was their opinion the sum of approximately $3, 000. 00 should be allocated by Council for this purpose. There >.was considerable discussion on the necessity of obtaining this expert opinion on the ultimate usage of Benton Airport. Mayor Puryear indicated this would be an unbiased, unemotional report; that City was thinking in terms of property valued at between a milli:on and a million and one half dollars. Councilman Martin questioned the spending of this proposed sum as "a perfect waste of money" as the answers would be predicated and precon- ceived: Councilman Moty said he thought it would be an insurmountable problem to get this information to the people in order they make sound judgment at the special election to be called this fall. Councilman Fulkerth questioned the legality of obtaining a survey on property outside the city limits (Sky Ranch); the City Attorney Redmon said it would be legal as .the survey had a definite bearing on the question whether the City should, or should not, retain Benton Field. City Manager Cowden said that fact s would be obtained by the survey, no conclusions, no recommendations. The survey would be made available to the people..and anyone could evaluate it. , , Mayor Puryear directed the City Manager to call a special meeting of the Redding Airport Commission to meet with councilmen at either a breakfast or luncheon for further discussion of this matter. . ; , < < .

Howard: "This 40% refund of the paid premium can be directly attributed a1,5`/ to your control of on the job injuries in conjunction with the Fund�s net cost insurance plan. This return is even more impressive when it. is realized that indirect savings haYe also been effected. The loss of trained employees, the time of supervisors and the effect of in- juries on the employee morale are all expensive factors which have been reduced.
