City council weighs billing fees for financial institutions
Council President Bara outlined that electric gas and telephone bills are not paid at savings and loan firms, prompting a committee decision to proceed. Banks charge six cents per billing, about 7200 dollars yearly, with seven institutions present and differing charges possible. Officials will meet with three banks and four S&Ls before finalizing ordinances, then draft separate bills per institution. Some stores collect bills without charging, and utilities chief Grace notes banks have not been reimbursed due to lack of city provision. EOL radio will carry final election results tonight from the area and state once complete returns are in.

Architect clarifies Third Street parking plan
Architect Ronald Landig says the cross over traffic design for the Third Street city county parking facility is intentional to improve driver control. Despite concerns the pattern reduces hazards as one way traffic meets exiting cars. The four level deck will open on the west end for entrance and the east end for exiting. Two exits can also feed Temple Court if needed. The facility serves county employees mainly and opens this month with potential city county operation transfer under consideration. Built at nearly 1 million dollars, part of it was given to the county under the city county agreement.
