2/16/82 Page -9- Councilman Leary Inquired of Administrator Wurl if he had come to a decision about supplying tables for the Press at council meetings. Director Hioco advised price comparisons are being obtained from different companies. Advised Council that the Louisville Times is willing to have a section advising its readers what is happening this week in Louisville, and he wished to propose a method to make certain that all meetings that are held by all groups could be pub- lished. He suggested that the City Clerk notify the Louisville Times by Tuesday noon of each week of the meetings that are scheduled during the week, and the depart- ment heads have the responsibility of notifying the City Clerk by Monday of all the meetings in the areas they support. Stated perhaps City Council members develop some kind of a disaster plan in the case of a chemical spill along the railroad tracks, etc. , and how we would get the endangered public removed. He had discussed this briefly with Chief Leesman who advised his department has been working on this. Leary suggested this be placed on the council agenda within the next two meeings, essentially to give an official go ahead to develop such a plan. Chief Leesman advised he would be attending a meeting on this subject the end of the week to find out more about the project. Leesman also requested that a study session be set before the plan is presented to council. Administrator Wurl was of the opinion that their department was in the process of develop- ing this plan previously. Leesman stated this was correct, a mini-plan had been presented to Council a few months ago. However, the new plan may require substantial funds to implement it. He suggested that representatives be brought in to do a mock disaster situation for the mayor, council members, and planning commission members
