The gas committee report was made by Chairman Larry Oetting.
He transmitted the following 3 recommendations from this committee:
1.As indicated by Frank Hob1ick of Frank Hob1ick &Associates,
the sale of the gas system would not realize sufficient revenues
to justify turning it over to private interests.
2.A Commission would be composed of members appointed by the
Mayor for 6 year terms outside of the City Council control.
3.With the proper changes to the cathodic and meter replacement.
