continuing to favor Whittier as a Governl1iJ~ra{~d fad:liiY, in
favor of promoting the construction of ~~l'li~l~I's~,,~ark-~"./
These considerations are broad in their implications and it will
be necessary to devote a great deal of effort toward realizing even
one of the possible results cited.
The second Council Directive should revolve around the estab-
lishment of a City-sponsored coordinated attempt to promote Seward
as a suitable location for a variety of enterprises. The economy
should be divorced from the single industry idea that has, in the
past, been responsible for the difficulties that many cities experi-
ence when the single industry ceases to ope-rate in the community.
This function will be a continuous activity by necessity! It
is quite clear that an additional clerk-typist position will have
to be created for the purpose of preparing information and fact
sheets on the community and its activities under the direction of
the staff-member appointed to oversee this work project. It can
be stated that this effort should not be confused with a closely-
related function known as "public relations". The public relations
can best be handled by the local Chamber of Commerce and other,
similar co~nunity oriented groups. The purpose of this City function
will be simple day-to-day communication with a wide variety of
individuals or organizations that perhaps, even remotely, benefit the
city of Seward or its citizens.
Once this vital project has been initiated and the work outlined
by the staff, it will fall to the Councilmembers themselves to judge
the overall effect of the effort and to faithfully recommend change as
it is indicated through the passing weeks and months. Perhaps at
some future date the responsibilities of this position can be trans-
ferred to the Chamber of Conunerce to be handled as a subsidiary function
of the public relations effort. This is the goal, one of the goals,
that this project should be aimed toward.
Our inunediate needs cannot be answered with a single thought or
a single concept. The true answers are completely unknown to us at
the present time because there is a definite lack of conununication
between the City as an administrative body and the citizen, the tax-
payer who becomes involved with City Hall only when there is a problem.
It is needless to say that we are facing a critical period in the
history and future development of Seward. As a conununity it will be
here for a lot longer than we, as individuals, will be. It is to us,
the custodians of record at the present time, that the needs of the
City must be addressed and it is our responsibility to begin the work
at the very lowest level in order to build what we desire into our
Community.
Hopefully this memorandum will form the beginning of an active
program contributing to the overall welfare of the City.

In conclusion, it can be pointed out,~e L a~ ib e
benefits to accrue to the City will nO~b~l!~e~i~~~s~i~o !~'-~"'I
authorization is granted to implement the recommendations of this
memorandum. It is clearly the Council's position to grant the
authority to proceed in the directions presented, should the Council
so desire. The staff is prepared to coordinate the activities that
the Council directs or authorizes. The staff is prepared to maintain
active supervision of the project at every point and to report to
the Council and the citizens the results of these efforts on a con-
tinuing basis. It is felt that the City's administrative staff can
function best under the present set of circumstances. Additional
assistance is entirely welcome and will definitely be solicited dur-
ing the course of the project. The prime, continuing directions will
be established by Council-Staff directive.

Item 8 - Clmr. Hulm -I made a trip up to take a loo~ at the school, the new

support him in his position or contention that the building where the
laminated beams are supported on the 4" by 10" support is unstable and
unsafe and in the eVent we get a shock comparable to what we had here on
March 27, 1964 primarily because there is no support steel with the necessary I
bolts, and that practically the 4" x 10" is just nailed on to the other truss
with just lag nails. I can's see for the life of me how that can possibly
hold and four inches, that's all it has to vibrate, or tremor, shake and
58
Volume 14

and those trusses, I tell you there's a tremendous amount of weight there and
four inches isn't very far to give and four inches its going to come down
and somebody's going to get killed. And it is my op1n1on after having
talked with Mr. Casey that that just is the area on the south end of the
school where the trusses rest on the 4" x 10" supports, that is the area
that is unsafe and unstable. That's my opinion. Clmr. Hardy approves
of the City's efforts to obtain lighting fixtures for the aipport runway
