SPECIAL CENSUS SEWER AGREEMENT Race Track POLITICAL BANNERS FLOOR COVERING City Hall SOUNDSCRIBER AND RECORDER Mr. Herb McDonald of the Chamber of Commerce was present at this time to request the City to participate financially in a special census for 1955. Mr. McDonald stated that it would cost approximately $7,000.00 and requested that The City put up $2,63O.OO. This matter was held over until the regular meeting on October 20, 1954. City Manager George Rounthwaite reported on the sewer agreement for the Las Vegas Turf Club and stated that Mr. Fred Johnston had agreed to pay $300.00 for this month. It was decided to negotiate with the McNeill Construction Company for an agreement since they are the prime lessees on the race track. Mr. Rounthwaite requested the wish of the Commission on political banners across the streets. It was decided that each of the political parties would be allowed one banner, and that they should furnish sufficient evidence of insurance. Commissioner Jarrett was opposed to this and made a motion that no political banners be placed across the streets. This motion died for lack of a second. City Engineer George Wade reported that Floor Covering for the lower floor of the new addition could be secured for approximately $4,000.00. Mr. Wade was requested to secure bids. Mr. Rounthwaite presented the proposal of Sarratt's Office Equipment for the installation of a Soundscriber and Recorder in the Council Chambers. It was decided not to install this Soundscriber, but to put in microphones, instead. There being no further business to come before this meeting, this special meeting adjourned.

This being the time heretofore set for continuation of the Public Hearing on the protest of the granting of a Use Permit to Rancho Drive Realty for the installation of a shopping center on Block 3, El Centro Tract No. 2, the Mayor asked if there was any additional information. Mr. Coulthard, representing Rancho Drive Realty, requested the Commission to rescind their action of granting a Use Permit so that a new application may be entered for a zone change on this property to R-4. Mr. Cleveland Schultz, a protestant, asked the Commission if the Use Permit was rescinded would a zone change follow automatically. The Commission stated that this new application would go through the proper channels and the application for a zone change would eventually come before the Board for their decision. Commissioner Bunker moved that the Use Permit granted Rancho Drive Realty at a previous meeting be rescinded. 10-20-54 PAYROLL WARRANTS SERVICE AND MATERIAL WARRANTS MINUTES PUBLIC HEARING Rancho Drive Realty
