The attention of the Board Is directed to several features of the
fflr
foregoing table.
It will be noted that the flow of tax revenues has
substantially abated.
It Is anticipated, however., that additional tax
receipts approximating $60,000.00 will be received some time later
this month.
Maintenance fees are included In Income for the first time
as a result of student registrations January 28 and following.
Against
this figure a few checks have already been returned because of insufficient funds and student withdrawals will undoubtedly further reduce the figure somewhat.
As was promised earlier, the Interest income is beginning
to be a significant figure.
The sum of $800.00 was realized from the
five day repurchase agreement authorized by the Board at its meeting
on January 28.
Income from auxiliary services will include gross sales in
the book stores, from vending machines and the like.
The Board has
previously appropriated sums to cover inventory acquisitions in this
area.
As a matter of policy, the Board should decide whether it wants
gross or net income Included in this report or Indeed whether such
operations should be Included In this report or in a separate statement.

The remaining $200,000 was invested in U. S. Treasury bills maturing
April 18, 1963.
B.. After the adoption of the comprehensive investment plan
effective February 5, 1963, it was determined that there was an additional $100,000 in funds of the District which would not be needed for
a period of at least six months.
An informal canvass of a majority of
the Board indicated a sentiment in favor of investing those funds
also.
They were invested in U. S. Treasury bills maturing April 18,
1963.
It is, therefore, appropriate for the Board now to adopt the
following resolution:
RESOLVED: That the Board cf Trustees hereby ratifies,
confirms and approves the action of the Treasurer in
investing on February 6, 1963, $100,000 of the funds of
the District in U. S. Treasury Bills maturing April 18,
1963.
C.
As was noted above, significant tax receipts may be
anticipated during the balance of this month.
In addition, $80,000
of Treasury bills will mature on February 28. As of this date, it is
not possible to determine what additional income will be received from
auxiliary services and miscellaneous sources. Furthermore, the payment of accounts cannot accurately be estimated more than a few weeks
in advance.
In the light of this, the Board may wish to consider delegating to the Treasurer or to some agency of the Board authority from
time to time to invest idle funds of the District without av/aiting actual
advance approval at regular Board meetings.
Respectfully submitted,
F. Wm. McCalpin
Treasurer

5.6 The Board President noted that Dr. Cosand had recommended that the budget,
as presented for the remainder of the current fiscal year, ending June 30, 1963,
be adopted by the Board and thus become a control budget for the remainder of
^
the fiscal year.
A general discussion ensued, led by Vice President Hobson.
V/hereupon, on motion by Mr. McCalpin, seconded by Mr. Glaser,
and with the aye vote of all the members of the Board, it was
RESOLVED, That the budget of the District for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1963, heretofore adopted by the Board of Trustees on
May 9 , 1962, be and hereby is amended as of February I, 1963, by
substituting In lieu thereof, for the remainder of the current fiscal
year, an amended budget which it hereby adopted in the amounts
and for the uses and purposes set out in the budget for February I,
1963 to June 30, 1963, attached to these minutes and by this
reference incorporated herein.
FURTHER RESOLVED, That all sums set forth in said amended budget ar
hereby deemed appropriated for the uses and purposes therein set out,
sub|ect to amendment, if required by the changing needs of the
District.
it-.
5.7
Vice President* Hobson also circulated among the Board members a pre-
liminary budget for the fiscal year beginning July I , 1963. It was requested
that Board members, after study of the preliminary budget, make any
suggestions for changes to Mr. Hobson. It was announced that the budget,
in its final form, would be presented to the Board for approval and adoption
at the last regular Beard meeting in March,
Mr. Hobson also told the Board that, in his opinion, the proposed
budget form attached to the budget information sheet was of special importanc .
This form, among other things, carries a complete breakdown of the requested
budget appropriations for the central office and for each individual campus.
In addition, within each of the main divisions, specific breakdowns
are shown in order to provide the Board with an over-all view of the total
educational program cs it relates to expenditures.
°» Student Personnel Services
College President Cosand returned from his speaking engagement at this proint,
and talked with the Board about the questionnaire which is being prepared for
all high school seniors in St. Louis and St. Louis County.
This questionnaire will be sent to the seniors in order to get some
forecast of the number of students who may desire to attend either the summer
session, or fall semester, at one of the Junior College campuses.
it Is hoped that the information will be available in early March, in
order to develop a proper schedule of classes.

February I, 1963
Mr, Gerald Williamson, President
Board of Trustees
Junior College District, St. Louts-St. Louis County
4386 Lindell Blvd.
St. Louis 8, Missouri
Dear Mr. Williamson:
We have been following with sincere interest the development of the actual
establishment of the Junior College District.
We can appreciate what a tremendous job it must be to organize a facility as
important and involved as the setting up of a new educational facility.
The community is indebted to the Board of Trustees and to the administration
for their untiring efforts and long hours of diligent toil in handling the multitude
of matters that need attention and serious study, and we want to add our most sincere
appreciation.
The St. Louis Labor Council, AFL-CIO, has received some static however on
the indication of the Junior College District's desire to utilize the area presently
encompassing the Forest Park Highlands Amusement Park.
Several questions were raised in respect to this apparent decision, and the
questions raised were, first, why the District did not settle on a plot of ground that
would perhaps not have taken off the tax rolls an assessed valuation which is
meaningful to the operation of not only the City, the St. Louis School District, but
the Junior College District htelf.
Secondly, in light of the serious unemployment situation in the area, the loss
of even a few jobs is most meaningful.
Thirdly, the question Is raised as to why the Junior College District did not
give more serious attention and consideration to the possible use of the area of
ground presently off the tax rolls and owned by the United States Government which
is attempting to revert It back into some beneficial use; namely, the former Small
Arms Plant area.

Unless this decision is in the posture of being a final determination, we
sincerely and respectfully urge your reconsideration.
Sincerely yours,
ss/ Joseph P. Clark

February 5, 1963
Mr. Joseph P, Clark, President
St. Louis Labor Council
1401 Hampton Avenue, Room 103
St. Louis 10, Missouri
Dear Mr. Clark:
Your letter of February 1st is appreciated. I will attempt to answer the questions you
raised concerning the possibility that we consider the Small Arms Plant as a location
for one of our junior college campuses.
The Board of Trustees has considered this location since last August and has mad three
specific studies of the plant facilities. The first study was made in August of 1962 when
the Board's Engineering Consultants, Russell and Axon, surveyed the property, th
utilities, and the buildings, particularly with the purpose of determining their value to
the district as a temporary site. It was concluded at that time that the cost of remodeling the buildings for classrooms was excessive, particularly in view of the fact that
their use would be limited to a relatively few years.
j0&
*&
Again in September of 1962, the Small Arms Plant was considered from the standpoint
of a permanent location. At that time the cost of acquisition was uncertain, and in
addition it was thought that the buildings, if remodeled, would not be as efficient, nor
as attractive as the Board desired for one of the college campuses. 900 foot long major
buildings, for example, with no affixed column spaces and very high ceilings would,
when remodeied, result in inflexible room arrangement and at least 20 percent excess
space for corridors and waste space. Again it was concluded that the property was not
suited to the college district's needs.
During the past month an intensive study of the Small Arms Plant has again been made
whereby our architects, Smith and Enrzeroth, and the engineering firm of Russell and
Axon, made an intensive study of the available facilities based upon the fact that the
Small Arms perhaps could be obtained at a very low, or perhaps no purchase, cost.
Also, a number of discussions were held with representatives of the general services
administration, as well as with the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.
The findings of our engineers and architects and other consultants engaged by the
college district can be summed up as follows.
Certain of the smaller buildings could be more favorably remodeled than the larger
buildings, and one building could be remodeled as a gymnasium. The large office
building, which perhaps was the prime building we were considering, is unavailable.
Remodeling was again rejected on the basis of feasibility and cost. Remodeled space
was determined to cost about $15,00 per square foot of school use; and with 20 percent
excess space, the result of the comparable cost would be $18,00 per square foot. This
would qual that of new construction, Malntenanc and operating costs also would
be higher on remodeled than on new buildings*

Februarys, 1963
Other consideration was for complete demolition of the buildings on the space that the
college would use for the construction of the campus. A total of 27 buildings wer
inspected and estimates then prepared by qualified experts on the cost of demolition,
with a plan for building a new campus after demolition of ail the buildings considered.
The cost of demolition was determined to range from approximately $1.25 per square
foot to as much as $5.00 per square foot for buildings surrounded by the heavy concrete
bunkers. A total demolition cost for all of the 27 buildings was thus computed in
detail, and the total was found to be $2,425,500.00.
The cost of a site on this basis would be excessive, particularly in view of the fact that
the site is not satisfactorily located with the center of potential school enrollment.
There are also a number of intangible factors which would either add to the cost of
utilizing the site, or which would detract from the site's attractiveness as a college
campus.
«
There is uncertainty between the government groups involved as to whether a plan for
total demolition would be entertained. Both governmental agencies have indicated
that they would not look with favor upon such demolition with remaining sections to the
North and to the South. The college proportionately in the middle would be between
two industrial areas which would diminish the attractiveness of the site as a college
campus. The total site is now supplied with heat and with electrical power from central
sources which would add to the difficulties and costs of separately operating the three
pieces of property. Whereas assurances have been given that the legal limitations
involved in acquisition could be met or waived, it remains in the fundamental law
that title would accrue to the college at a rate of only 5 percent per year, and that
the rental at 5 percent of value must be paid on buildings not immediately used by the
college, but held for them.
In summary it was a unanimous opinion of our consultants of the college board, and the
administrative staff, and of the Board of Trustees, that the Small Arms plant could not
be economically utilized and would result in higher over-all costs than a purchase site
located more centrally to the city. Therefore, the whole was not suited to the establishment of a junior college campus.
The Board throughout its site study has been well aware of the desirability, if possible,
of taking property that would not unfavorably reduce the City of St, Louis1 assessments
for tax purposes. In this connection the Board, while admittedly not specifically
qualified in such matters, does wish to point out that the Small Arms Plant, if developed!
for commercial and industrial purposes for which it seems well suited, should be a
source of very considerable tax revenue to the City of St, Louis*
In addition to the Small Arms Plant, the Board has considered many other sites within
the city limits and has come to the conclusion that the one site best suited for the
development of the city campus Is the property now housing the amusement center at
the Highlands, The Board does not envision the acquisition of all of the property
Mr. Clark
- 3 -
February 5, 1963
which is now being used for industrial purposes; nor does it consider the use of the
property now housing the arena, or the bowling alley, or the building adjoining the
arena to the East. Rumors to the affect that the district plans to acquire industrial
buildings is false. The acreage at the Highlands under consideration is free from
development, with the exception of the amusement park, and that area behind the
amusement park which has a very minor amount of development, consisting of certain
foundations for a proposed building.
I v/ould be most happy to talk with you, at your convenience, to further explain any
questions which may remain unanswered.
I would like, in closing, to point out one thing which pleases those of us connected
with the district, and that is the very evident support of the junior college by labor.
Mr. Ehrhardt has given invaluable assistance to the development of this college district,
and we are deeply appreciative of his interest and of the energies he has expend d.
In particular, I would like to point out how much we hope Mr. Ehrhardt and other
representatives from labor will assist us in the development of our Technical Education
program which will provide opportunities for youth beyond those now provided by the
technical high schools in the city. Both O'Fallon and Hadley are doing an outstanding
job in preparing students at the high school level in fields of vocational education.
We hope that we can work very closely with Dr. Kottmeyer, Mr. Baker, and Mr. Sacks,
in the continued development of technical educatbn for the St. Louis area.
Regards,
Joseph P. Cosand, President
Junior College District
