should be amended as recommended by the City Attorney. (CA50.12)

To display the capsule at Bowers Museum, but to put the

the capsule that night; that it had historical value and should
not be opened after a period of less than 70 years.
Mr. Sleeper stated that the contents of the box removed from
the 1904 City Hall had been revealed in 1935 after a lapse of
only thirty years, while thirty-seven years had elapsed since
the 1935 capsule had been established.
Mr. Sleeper proceeded to open the box by cutting through the
copper capsule. When the contents were revealed to him, Mr.
Sleeper stated that there were two packages, one from 1904 and
one from 1935. He removed the contents of the 1904 package,
and gave a description of each, as follows:

Mr. Sleeper stated that despite the dates given, that the box
had originally been deposited on July 30, 1935, at the cornerstone
laying; that it had subsequently been removed as a precaution
against vandalism; that a special hole had to be drilled (in the
Finance Director's office in the 1935 City Hall) for its deposit
inside the building on November 20, 1935, and that the opening
of the City Hall had taken place on December 3, 1935.
The Mayor stated that before the capsule had been opened Mr.
Sleeper had given to him an envelope with a list of the items
he anticipated to be in the capsule, and after looking the list
over, asked Mr. Sleeper how he could have been so accurate.

and that it had been just another homework assignment.

PUBLIC HEARING
TIME CAPSULE - Continued
of the time capsule and its
contents.
The Mayor invited members
of the audience to speak
regarding the disposition
Former City Councilman William Penn suggested that the capsule
and its contents be turned over to the Museum Board for display
and preservation in the new addition to be added to the Museum.
Mr. Allan Goddard, member of the Cultural Heritage Committee,
suggested that the capsule and its contents would be displayed
to better advantage in the lobby of the City Hall because they
would be seen by more City residents.
Mr. James Sleeper stated that the Cultural Heritage Committee
had unanimously agreed that the capsule should be opened, its
contents inventoried, the information made available to the
public and then re-deposited along with appropriate contemporary
materials to be placed in the new City Hall.
Mr. Joseph Gilmaker, 304 West Fourth Street, and Mr. Billy C.
Hall, President of the City Center Association, concurred with
Mr. Sleeper's recommendation or as an alternative suggested
that photo copies might be made and preserved, and the originals
re-deposited.
There were no other speakers and the public hearing was closed
by the Mayor.
The Cultural Heritage Committee was authorized to assemble items
for a capsule which would include the original items, or copies
thereof, whichever would be the most legible, of the 1904 and
1935 time capsules, as well as materials which represent current
events and personalities, on motion of Councilman Garthe,
seconded by Councilman Griset. The motion further provided
that the new time capsule be covered with a bronze or marble
plaque or cornerstone and that the City Manager be authorized
to make suitable arrangements for these compartments, plaques
and cornerstones.
An amendment to the motion to provide that the Cultural Heritage
Committee shall submit to Council for final approval its
recommendations for contents of the new capsule, and display
and preservation of the old capsule, was accepted by the maker
and second to the motion, which carried on the following roll
call vote:
AYES:
Garthe, Griset, Markel, Yamamoto, Patterson,

NOES: None

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
149 MAY 7, 1973
Prior to voting, the Council consensus was that some of the
documents found in the capsule, or at least copies of some of
them, should be displayed in Bowers Museum; that those that
could be restored should be restored; and that the Cultural
Heritage Committee should consider all of the comments made
by members of the audience and Council, and add some original
ideas of their own before making their final recommendations
to Council.
Councilman Markel stated that he had made an original sketch
showing where the time capsule was located and had given that
sketch to the City Manager; he inquired of the City Manager as
to the whereabouts of the original sketch, stating that it was
his and that it should be returned to him.
The City Manager responded that unfortunately, the original
sketch could not be located; that it had been turned over to the
Director of Public Works, but that they now had only a copy of
the sketch; that they could not have found the time capsule
without Councilman Markel's instructions.
Councilman Markel stated that he had contacted the Director of
Public Works after the box had been removed to ask him for the
sketch; that Mr. Wolford had told him that he had given it to the
Clerk of the Council, Mrs. Malone, to make as many copies as
she wanted. Councilman Markel further stated that he had
materials in his possession to dwarf anything that had been
removed from the capsule that evening; that he had done a service
to the City and to the people of the community by revealing
where the time capsule was located, and that every effort should
be made to return the original sketch to him; that the copy of
the sketch would not give him the satisfaction that the original
sketch would give him.
Council asked staff to see if they could locate the original
sketch for Councilman Markel by informal unanimous consent.

ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Mr. Joe Gilmaker, 308
West First Street, referred
to the authorization of
$50.00 per month for travel expense allowance which had been
approved by Council earlier in the evening and inquired as to
whether or not Council would still be turning in gas mileage
for payment in addition to receiving the $50.00 per month.
The Mayor stated that if, for instance, he were to go to San
Francisco on City business and take his own automobile, that he
would add the mileage for reimbursement in that it had been the
policy to be reimbursed for travel expenses for long distances
such as air fare.
Mr. Gilmaker then asked what the average expense was per month,
per Council automobile.
The Mayor replied that he did not know, however, that he was
sure it was well above $50.00.
Mr. Gilmaker then stated that with reference to the agreement
to hire a Washington representative, that he felt revenue
sharing funds should never have left the local governments;
and that the funds should be returned to individual taxpayers
to spend as they choose.
The Mayor responded that the law did not provide for that kind
of program for the funds. (CA 65.14)
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Councilman Markel inquired
TIME CAPSULE of the City Manager as to
what he had meant by com-
menting that a problem existed when Councilman Markel had
informed him of the whereabouts of the time capsule.
The City Manager responded that he did not recall the specific
conversation that Councilman Markel was referring to and that
his only recollection was that Councilman Markel had suggested
moving the marble panel on the outside of the building.
