Newberry City Council created a new Department of Safety at the regular meeting in council chambers Tuesday night. Vote on two questions on the proposal were split three and three with Mayoi Layton breaking the tie in each case. City Manager K. W. Riebe sub mitted the plan to set up the new department under which the Fire Department, Police Department and Office of Building, Water, Electric, Gas, Sanitary Sewer In spection would be brought under the department. One of the main items brought out in connection with the new department was a planning division for civil defense, public safety and employee safety. The manager pointed out that there was much to be desired in a safety program for city em ployees. He said that he had no ticed in many cases proper safety precautions were not bing observ ed by employees, due mainly to lack of training along this line. On motion by Councilman Clar ence Shealy to split the fire de partment away from the overall plan and vote on it separately, the motion was supported by Council- men McCutcheon and Heller. Vot ing against the motion were Councilmen Armfield, Davenport and Merchant. Mayor Layton vot ed against the motion. Mr. Armfield offered a motion adopting the plan as presented by Mr. Riebe. Voting for were Daven port and Merchant. Against, Shealy, Heller and McCutcheon. Mayor Layton voted for the mo tion. At preseht the city manager will head the department created at the Tuesday meeting since funds have not been budgeted for the di rector. The motion stated that council would hire the director at such times as funds become avail able. A detailed breakdown of the operation of this department is as follows: (1.) A letter from the secretary of the Newberry Volunteer Fire Department stated that the vol unteer firemen had elected the following: Dave Laird, Fire Chief; Fred Rodelsperger, 1st Assistant Chief and Otis L. Whitaker, 2nd Assistant Chief. All these posi tions are voluntary and no pay is requested. I recommend that the recommendation as presented in this letter be accepted as present ed. (2.) That a new department to be called the Department of Safe ty be established. Actually this de partment is already existing. All I am asking is that all safety de partments be brought together under one head. Under this plan this department head would be referred to as the Director of Safety. He w r ould be responsible to the City Manager for the prop er Administration training, super vision and functions of the follow ing: Civil Defense; Fire Depart ment; Police Department; Traffic and Safety. Civil Defense: Responsible for establishing and managing of de tailed survival plans, recommend and supervise training procedures and be the City of Newberry’s co ordinator between County and State Civil Defense Agencies. Fire Department: Supervise present paid fire department, as sist and advise as requested by the Chief ot the Volunteer Firemen. An assistant to the Director of Safety would be designated from the paid firemen to maintain the equipment, keep records and make reports, fire inspections, facility maintenance, train new paid fire men in operation of fire equip ment, be a driver or fireman. Giv en a pay raise commensurate with responsibility. The Volunteer Fire Chief or as sistants would be in full charge from the sounding of the fire al arm and all volunteer and paid firemen would be under the di rection of him or his assistants’ direction until roll call after the fire. The Volunteer fire chief is ex pected to express ideas to im prove both volunteers and paid personnel or report discrepencies found in either group to the Di rector of Safety. However, the Volunteer Fire Chief is not the boss of the paid group except during an alarm or practice drills and tests. Police Department: Responsible for the conduct and operation of the Police Department. There would be no change in the present designations or responsibilities of personnel, other than the Police Chief would report and be respon sible to the Director of Safety instead of to the City Manager. Traffic: Responsible for investi gation, planning and reporting of ali traffic problems. Including but not limited to parking, schools crossings and flow of traffic. Safety: Responsible for building inspection and gas, water, elec tric and plumbing construction. Plan and execute sound safety measures to be practiced by city employees. Serve on or perform on any training surveys as may be outlined by the City Manager. Other business: Mr. Riebe stated that the city’s books for the fiscal year ended September 30th, 1962, are now be ing audited. On motion by Councilman Dav enport, council voted to ban the licensing of street venders on the day of the Christmas parade. Van Lott Company of Columbia submitted a bid of $498.50 for a cab for the bulldozer used at the garbage fill. No action was taken on this item. The city manager was request ed to outline plans for a policy pertaining to furnishing water to customers outside the city limits and present same at the next meeting of council. Mayor Layton stated that Mrs. R. L. Baker of the S. C. Highway Safety Committee asked that the city participate in the formation of a local citizens Highway Committ ee to cooperate in the Highway Safety program. The City Manager reported that the owner of a vacant lot at the corner of Harrington and Lind say streets and Shawnee Manu facturing company had reached an agreement for the use of the lot as a parking area for employ ees of the company. A motion by Councilman Davenport seconded by Councilman McCutcheon for the city to construct entrances and remove trees and level area at a cost not to exceed $150.00 for materials, unanimously adapt ed. The City manager reported that the S. C. Highway depart ment had worked on the crossi: g of Johnston and Glenn streets and relieved the condition there. The city manager also reported that the hazzard at the corner of Johnstone and Coates streets had been relieved through the cooperation of Mrs. R. L. Baker in permitting the grading of the bank. Thanks to Mrs. Baker was in order, he said. A report was given by the city manager on a survey on garbage collection and further studies will be made and recommendations offered in Jan uary. A traffic survey being conduct ed jointly by the city manager and the chief of pilice is under way and results will be made known (Continued on Page 8) BIRTHDAY GREETINGS Nov. 18: W.
