CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS MINUTES OF THE CITY COUNCIL CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Regular Meeting January 25, 1951. 10:00 Α.Μ. Council Chamber, City Hall 47 The meeting was called to order with Mayor Glass presiding. Roll Call: Present: Councilmen Drake, Johnson, Long, MacCorkle, Mayor Glass Absent: None Present also: Walter E. Seaholm, City Manager: Trueman E. O'Quinn, City Attorney; C. G. Levander, Director of Public Works. Councilman MacCorkle moved that since copies of the minutes of the last meeting of the City Council have been furnished Council members by the City Clerk, the reading of the minutes be dispensed with and that the minutes be adopted as read in the Clerk's report. Upon being duly seconded by Councilman Drake, the motion was unanimously adopted by the Council and the minutes so approved. The request of the AUSTIN TRANSIT, INC., submitted to the Council at its meeting of January 11, 1951, was brought up for further consideration. Inquiries were made about the tokens that would still be in customers' possession. It was stated by MR. BEN W. GREIG that refunds would be made if the customers would come by the Dispatcher's Office or the Austin Transit, Inc. office, within ninety days after the rate increase went into effect. In answer to Councilman MacCorkle's inquiry about consolidating the AUSTIN TRANSIT, INC., BUS LEASING CORPORATION and ZACHRY REALTY COMPANY, Mr. Greig stated he was in favor of the consolidation; but it would take a considerable amount of time. The arrangement had advantages on their ability to borrow money, as the Austin Transit, Inc. could not borrow very much on their holdings alone. He asked the Council to write him a letter making the request of consolidation, and he would pass it on to the MANN ASSOCIATES with his recommendation. He stated the consolidation would probably take place as soon as the accounts and loans were taken care of. It is also set up for tax purposes on the three companies, and that would enter into the consolidation proposal. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 48 48 Councilman Long moved that the Council request the Austin Transit, Inc., to report back to the Council in six months as to what can be done about consolidating the AUSTIN TRANSIT, INC., BUS LEASING CORPORATION and ZACHRY REALTY COMPANY, and when they planned to do so.

The motion, seconded by Councilman Long, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Drae, Johnson, Long, MacCorkle, Mayor Glass Noes: None 56 56 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Councilman Long offered the following resolution and moved its adoptions (RESOLUTION) WHEREAS, it has been determined that the assessment for taxes for the year 1950 against the improvements on Lot 3, Block 1, Outlot 77, Division D, Lakeview Subdivision, assessed in the name of Pete Laurito, is excessive, and that same should be corrected; therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN: THAT the assessment for taxes on the improvements on the aforesaid property for the year 1950 be and the same is hereby reduced and corrected from the present assessed value of $3,380 on said improvements to $2,910, and that the City Assessor and Collector of taxes is authorized and directed to make such change in the tax rolls. The motion, seconded by Councilman Drake, carried by the following votes Ayes: Councilmen Drake, Johnson, Long, MacCorkle, Mayor Glass Noes: None The City Manager submitted the following request from Cochran-KinserHewlett-Moyer, by James C. Cochran, under date of January 25, 1951: "We have a client who is desirous of leasing from the City, the tract of ground owned by the City, facing South on Barton Springs Road and lying West of the railroad tracks to the Fredericksburg Road. He would like the use of the land from Barton Springs Road, north to the South edge of the tract leased for the Golf Course. He desires a lease on the property for from two to five years but will permit the City to insert an escape clause of 90 days in the event of sale. The lot will be used to display second hand automobiles. "Our client has authorized us to offer the City $47.50 per month net rate for the property. We believe the additional income to the City would justify taking action on this matter." Mr. James C. Cochran stated there was another piece of City property he would like to lease for a client and that was the west side of the Butler Tract. Councilman Drake moved that these requests be turned over to the City Manager to check and report back to the Council. The motion, seconded by Councilman Johnson, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Drake, Johnson, Long, MacCorkle, Mayor Glass Noes: None CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 52 57 COUNCILMAN LONG stated she had been giving some thought to bringing back the Parks and Recreation Board, and she moved that an amendment be drawn up to the present ordinance, setting up the Parks and Recreation Board of seven members. The motion, seconded by Councilman MacCorkle, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Drake, Johnson, Long, MacCorkle, Mayor Glass Noes: None Mayor Glass introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE CLOSING THE HEARING GIVEN TO THE REAL AND TRUE OWNERS OF PROPERTY ABUTTING UPON GILBERT STREET, AND SUNDRY OTHER STREETS AND AVENUES IN THE CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS, WITHIN THE LIMITS HEREINAFTER DEFINED, AS TO SPECIAL BENEFITS TO ACCRUE TO SAID PROPERTY AND THE REAL AND TRUE OWNERS THEREOF BY VIRTUE OF THE IMPROVEMENT OF SAID STREETS WITHIN SAID LIMITS, AND AS TO ANY ERRORS, INVALIDITIES OR IRREGULARITIES IN ANY OF THE PROCEEDINGS OR CONTRACT THEREFOR; OVERRULING AND DENYING ALL PROTESTS AND OBJECTIONS OFFERED; FINDING AND DETERMINING THAT EACH AND EVERY PARCEL OF PROPERTY ABUTTING UPON EACH AND EVERY OF SAID STREETS AND AVENUES WITHIN THE LIMITS DEFINED WILL BE SPECIALLY BENEFITTED AND ENHANCED IN VALUE IN EXCESS OF THE AMOUNT OF THE COST OF SAID IMPROVEMENTS PROPOSED TO BE, AND AS, ASSESSED AGAINST SAID PROPERTY, AND THE REAL AND TRUE OWNERS THEREOF, AND LEVYING AN ASSESSMENT FOR THE PAYMENT OF A PORTION OF THE COST OF IMPROVING SAID STREETS AND AVENUES WITHIN SAID LIMITS DEFINED, FIXING A CHARGE AND LIEN AGAINST SAID PROPERTIES, AND THE REAL AND TRUE OWNERS THEREOF, PROVIDING FOR THE ISSUANCE OF ASSIGNABLE CERTIFICATES UPON THE COM- PLETION AND ACCEPTANCE OF SAID WORK, THEMANNER AND TIME OF PAYMENT THEREOF, AND PROVIDING FOR THE MANNER AND METHOD OF COL- LECTION OF SAID ASSESSMENTS AND CERTIFICATES; DECLARING AN EMERGENCY, AND PROVIDING THAT THIS ORDINANCE SHALL BECOME EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY UPON ITS PASSAGE.

Councilman Drake moved that the City Manager be instructed to submit an ordinance proposing changes in the water rates. The motion, seconded by Councilman Johnson, carried by the following vote: Ayes): Councilmen Drake, Johnson, MacCorkle, Mayor Glass Present but not voting: Councilman Long Noes: None The Council received notice from the City Manager that the following applications for change of zoning had been referred to the Zoning Board of Adjustment: DR. M. F. KREISLE 2315-2317 Longview From "B-1" Residence To #BH Residence WOODROW BROWN 1801 Chicon Street From "C" Commercial To "C-1" Commercial J. L. REED 1101 Navasota From "C-1" Commercial To "C-2" Commercial The City Manager submitted the Budget for 1951 for final approval. Councilman Long submitted the following amendments for consideration: "POSSIBLE SAVINGS TO MAKE WATER TAX UNNECESSARY: "1. Cut City Hall Annex from $500,000 to $350,000 saving....... "2. Reduce expected land costs on street & bridge construc"3. tion by $23,000 which has already been paid....... Cut contractural paving from $350,000 to $325,000, and charge $25,000 of engineering salaries to bond money instead of General Revenue, saving.. $150,000. .... 23,000. ... 25,000. "4. #5. "6. Net resources at end of 1951 in Utility and General........ Budget a $100,000 shrinkage in Central Stores inventory.... At least $15,000 of budgeted salary increases not used..... 100,000. 15,000. 118,000. $431,000. "1. We have $350,000 in bond money available for the City Hall annex. In addition, the budget calls for spending $150,000 out of General Revenue for this purpose. It is not likely that the building will be finished during 1951 in view of manpower and material situations, Therefore I move that CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 59 59 on Page 37 of the budget, the $150,000 General Fund item for the City Hall building be struck out. "2. The preliminary budget carried $250,000 for land costs (Page 55) on street & bridge construction. In view of the letter of transmittal in the revised budget, showing that $23,000 has already been paid from General Funds for the 19th & Trinity property, I move that the LAND item on Page 55 be reduced to $227,000, and that the last item on Page 55 of $47,519 be reduced to $24,519. (This last figure is the amount of Street & Bridge Construction charged against General Revenue). "3. In 1950, we appropriated $420,000 for Street & Bridge and Storm Sewer and t Culvert Construction, of which only $262,000 was spent. This year the budget calls for $350,000 for contractural paving and our experience indicates that we wont get that much done. I MOVE that the contractural pving item be cut to $325,000 (on Page 55), thus saving that much bond money. None of the $136,696 for engineering salaries on Page 50 is charged tobond money, so I move that $25,000 of those salaries be charged to bond money. This is about the same percentage of engineering salaries as you have charged Street & Bridge salaries to bonds, so it appears to be perfectly legal and proper to pay for engineering on new streets with bond money. "4. In 1949, Central Stores inventories shrunk without apparent damage to the welfare of the city, a total of $147,000. It is reasonable to believe that in view of the defense demands for materials the inventories of utility materials will shrink by at least $100,000 during 1951. I MOVE that on Page 6 we budget a $100,000 decline in inventories. These stocks of materials are the same as cash, and withdrawals in excess of purchases leave that much extra cash on hand. "5. The salary increases already granted total, on paper, $232,953. But many of the jobs given increases are not filled now, and may not be for months. The 14 additional policemen are budgeted for an entire year at $39,852, for example. One month is already gone, so on that one item alone, about $6500 wont be spent. I move that this fact be recognized in the budget on salary items for new jobs. 16. On Page 4 of the budget, the operating funds account, net General Fund and Utility Fund resources at the end of 1951 are estimated at $119,098.83. That means that we are planning to increase the water tax 25% and at the end of the year, still have one-fourth of the additional revenue in the bank. A surplus is a nice thing to have, but we can get along without one, or with a much smaller one. During the year, if emergencies develop, we will have to do what many Austin families are doing right now: Choose wht we'll get along with out in order to have what we must. Our experience has been that we seldom finish all the projects which are budgeted. It is even more likely in 1951 that manpower and materials shortages will stop one or more of the major projects and thus leave us a cushion for emergencies. 0 Other Budget Amendments: On Page 29, I MOVE to reduce the amount for Board of Equalization salaries CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 60 from $1.800 to $900, the latter figure being the legal amount this Board may be paid. "On Pages 75, 76, and 77, I MOVE to return the Division of Sanitation to the Department of Public Works. 0 "On Pages 115 and 116, Customer Accounting and Collecting, I do not find an appropriation to pay the cost of operating the utility bill sub-stations. We were told that these sub-stations would save the 'cost of additional office. personnel, yet the number of employees in this division is up four from the 1950 budget. "On Page 6, the revenue estimates show no money from sub-dividers for utility extensions. If no new sub-divisions are expected, why is so much needed (more than last year) for electric utility extensions?" Councilman Long stated these amendments would save $431,000, and the water rate would not have to be increased. The Mayor stated if the time came that the rates could be cut back, it would be the duty of the Council to adjust them back. His suggestion was not to cut inventories nor to go into a savings to take care of something on a temporary basis. He felt it would not be financially sound. A discussion was held on reducing the inventories, and a comparison made from 1942 through 1950. Councilman Long felt a shrinkage of $100,000 would not hurt the City. The City Manager thought it would be necessary to increase the inventories. It was brought out that with the increase in wat er rates, Austin's position would still be the same--the second lowest in the State; and that it cost more to purify the water here than in other cities. Councilman MacCorkle inquired of the City Attorney if a Department of City Government could be set up by merely being shown in the Budget and the Budget approved. It was stated that would be legal as the Council passed the Budget. He asked if it were the function of the Council to set up the Departments and Divisions; and if so, would it be proper to define the duties and functions by ordinance. The City Attorney stated it would, but there would have to be a general provision that the City Manager would assign duties from day to day as to take care of anything that might occur. Councilman MacCorkle also referred to the new Fire Prevention Department, and stated he would like to see it set up by ordinance defining the function of that Department. The City Attorney stated some cities had an Administrative Code. Councilman MacCorkle asked the City Manager to have an ordinance prepared setting up the Department of Fire Prevention. Discussion was held on setting up the Planning Department. Councilma Drake stated he thought it should be set up as a separate Department; but with the City Manager's explanation at a previous meeting, he would not insist on it. He felt the City Manager's explantion was adequate. Councilman MacCorkle stated he would not press that point this year, but would like to see it studied more; and at a proper time, have a Planning Department set up as a separate department. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 61 Councilman MacCorkle made two other inquiries concerning the budget: (1) About the revamped retirement system; that the Council had promised the employees a better retirement system, that he did not know anything about the new plan or when it would go into effect. (2) The Classification system; that he did not know whether to cut some function in order to get a better salary scale; and that he might pass a temporary budget until something more definite was submitted. He felt if the Council knew it would have to be amended, it would still be a temporary budget. The City Attorney stated the changes made would be those not anticipated and would be classed as an emergency. The Mayor stated things that came up throughout the year could be corrected. The City Manager explained the suggestions of the Actuary regarding the Retirement System; that it could be liberalized and still be sound, and that the City could stay within the four percent payment whereas if it went to the State System, it would be five percent. He stated the maximum benefit would be doubled and still not cost any more; that the provisions were now set up in the budget to take care of it at four percent; but it was not set up for any five percent. Councilmen MacCorkle and Long inquired how this was shown in the budget. It was not shown other than the four percent provision and that the different provisions would be pointed out section by section in a proposed ordinance. There will be a recommendation submitted which will show a sound system. If the pension money could be used and invested in paving liens, the earning capacity could be increased, and that affects what can be done and improves our ability to pay. The Budget now contemplates the pension fund as it exists on the four percent participation, but the benefits will be improved, and they will not affect the budget in its ability to provide. The benefits will be effective from the first of January. Councilman MacCorkle inquired if the Council were in a position to promise that this will be done this year. It was stated the general idea from the declaration of policy was to look at what is being paid and see if additional benefits could be given to employees without greater costs to either the City or the employee; whether prior service could be given, and if the maximum could be raised. It was suggested that when the Actuary had gone over the proposed ordinance making these changes and reported back, that the Council meet with him. All effort was being made to improve the benefits without incurring additional costs. Councilman Johnson inquired about retiring before one was 65 years of age if there was an injury on the job. The City Manager stated this would be the case; and also the insurance taken out for the employees would be carried over, and a person retiring would still have $1,000 life insurance carried on him. In answer to Councilman MacCorkle's inquiry, it was stated the benefits of the retirement system would be effective January 1, 1951. With reference to Councilman MacCorkle's second question about the Reclassification, he stated he would not vote to leave the Departmental Heads with the large spread that we now have, and with the discrimination that now exists. He felt if it were going to take more than the remaining $174,000, the budget should be modified to make those corrections. The City Manager explained there would be $118,000 as a reserve that would take care of some of the things not anticipated. Councilman MacCorkle asked if this budget were passed as itemized, would it be necessary in order to increase one of these items or change from one fund to another, that the Council would have to give approval. The City Attorney stated the Council should adopt the budget with the reservation that the accounts are regarded as reasonable estimates by the Budget Officer as to what is needed, forming the basis for the total approprition in the various Departments, and CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 62 62 allowing him some discretion. Councilman MacCorkle stated if the major items or funds were changed, Council action should be necessary; that there was a contingent fund that would not need to be itemized. Councilman Drake felt that a major account should be approved, but the subsidiary accounts could be changed if neces sary and if the amount were not changed in the major account. Councilman Long stated she did not favor that; that there was a job evaluation being made to stab alize jobs, and she did not think that liberty of changing the items would reflect a true budget. Mayor Glass favored approving the budget as submitted and asked if there were any changes in the method of preparing a budget, that those plans be made for next year. It was stated that the job classification would be over, and it wuld show the various jobs now in existence and their appraisal, and the Councilmight pass an ordinance adopting those classifications and fixing minimum and maximum rates. This would not be a part of the budget; but in the future the budget officer would have to stay within the allowances set up in the administrative or- dinance. The City Attorney advised that the manner in which the Council adopted the budget was important and that if certain needs were reasonably anticipated, adoption should be flexible enough to permit amendment during the year, because otherwise, in some cases the Council might not be able to change the budget because there would be no emergency present within the meaning of the State Budget Law. After a thorough discussion of the Budget, Councilman Drake moved that the Budget be adopted with the following amendment; that the payrolls of the Board of Equalization be set according to law, and that additional money be budgeted under "other duties": and that the City Manager be instructed to consider the Bud get as to the amount budgeted for each major account. The motion was seconded by Councilman Johnson. Councilman Long asked that the motion be split into two separate motions. Councilman Drake conceded to her request to state his motion in two separate motions. Councilman Long asked if she could offer a substitute motion, to which Councilman Drake conceded. Councilman Long then moved that the items drawn up in the two-page statement just presented to the Council, with the exception of the amendment offered by Councilman Drake (that the payrolls of the Board of Equalization be set according to law, and that additional money be budgeted under "other duties") be adopted. The substitute motion was seconded by Councilman MacCorkle to get it before the Council. The motion lost by the following vote: Ayes: Councilman Long Noes: Councilman Drake, Johnson, MacCorkle, Mayor Glass The Mayor announced the substitute motion had lost, and the motion of Councilman Drake would be considered in two motions: the first motion, being that the Budget be adopted with the following amendment; that the payrolls of the Board of Equalization be set according to law, and that additional money be budgete under "other duties". The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Drake, Johnson, MacCorkle (that the adoption of the budget be subject to such change as to the retirement system and classification system might make necessary), Mayor Glass Noes: Councilman Long : CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 63 63 Councilman Drake moved that the City Council instruct the City Manager to treat the budget in a manner that the total amount budgeted for major account numbers be the amount that he is authorized to expend, and that the itemization of salaries including Department Heads be subject to the classification to be adopted by the Council following the revaluation program now being completed. The motion was seconded by Councilman Johnson. At this point, Councilman Long raised a point of order, stating the Budget has already been approved, and this motion would be illegal. The question was overruled, and the motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Noes: Councilmen Drake, Johnson, MacCorkle, Mayor Glass Councilman Long Councilman Drake stated for the record that it was not his intention to change the bookeeping system or accounting system in any way, and that a detailed breakdown of itemized expenditure will be available to the public and Council at all times. Councilman Drake then offered the following resolution and moved its adoption: (RESOLUTION) WHEREAS, the General Budget of the City of Austin, Texas, for the year 1951 has been prepared by the City Manager and presented to the City Council, and the same was filed with the City Clerk for public inspection; and WHEREAS, a public hearing on said budget was held in the City Council Chamber at the City Hall, after due notice of said time and place, at which hearing the taxpayers of the City of Austin were given the opportunity to be present and participate in such hearing; and said hearing was finally closed; now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN: The following General Budget of the City of Austin for the year 1951, be, and the same is hereby adopted, and the amounts set out respectively in said budget, be, and they are hereby, respectively appropriated for the respective purpose and out of the funds respectively shown in said budget. vote: The motion, seconded by Councilman Johnson, carried by the following Ayes: Councilmen Drake, Johnson, MacCorkle, Mayor Glass Noes: Councilman Long CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS BUDGET FOR THE YEAR 1951 64 65 65 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS PAGE NO. 1-2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Interest & Sinking Fund Disbursements TABLE OF CONTENTS SECTION I Letter of Transmittal SECTION II FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Comparative Statement of Salaries & Wages Cash Receipts, Disbursements & Balances Cash Receipts, Disbursements & Balances General Fund - 1950 1951 Cash Receipts & Disbursements Utility Fund Cash Receipts & Disbursements Special Bond Fund Cash Receipts & Disbursements - Cash Receipts and 9 Revenue Bond Retirement - Cash Receipts and 10 11 12 13 Disbursements Electric, Water & Sewer Revenue Bond Fund Balance Sheet Electric, Water & Sewer Revenue Bond Receipts, Disbursements & Balances Central Storeroom - Receipts, Issues & Balances Tax Collections 1930-1949 14 Statement of Delinquent Taxes 15 Analysis of Ad Valorem Taxes 16 Analysis of Ad Valorem Taxes - 1950 1951 17-18 General Fund Revenue 19-20 Utility Fund Revenue 21 22 23 24 25 Statement Employees' Retirement System SECTION III GENERAL FUND BUDGET General Fund Summary Administrative & Finance Summary City Manager's Office Municipal Court 26-27 Accounting Office 28-29 Tax Department 30 Purchasing Agent 31 City Attorney 32 City Clerk 33 Personnel 34 Planning & Zoning 35 Civil Defense 36-37 Municipal Building 38 General Overhead 39 40-42 Police Department 43-44 45 46-47 Public Safety Summary Fire Department Traffic & Transportation General Inspections 48 Fire Prevention CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS TABLE OF CONTENTS SECTION III CONT'D PAGE NO. 49 50-51 52-55 55-A-B-C 56-57 58-59 Public Works Summary Engineer's Office Street & Bridge Division Sanitation Division Cemeteries General Parks 60 Public Market 61-62 63 64-65 66-73 Airport Public Health & Welfare Summary Health Office Hospital 74 Public Welfare 78-82 Abattoir 83-101 Recreation 102-105 Libraries 106-109 Clearing 110 SECTION IV UTILITIES FUND BUDGET Utility Fund Summary 111-119 Electric Utility 120-125 Water Utility 126-130 Sewer Utility 131 Central Stores SECTION V BONDED DEBT Interest & Sinking Fund Appropriations Statement of Bonded Debt 66 6.6 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS SECTION I LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL 67 COUNCIL R GLASS PR DRAKE, JR.

SEAHOLM, CITY MANAGER 68 68 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council Austin, Texas Dear Members of the City Council: January 17, 1951 We submit this supplement to our estimates of revenues and recommendations of expenditures for the 1951 budget as previously submitted in December, 1950, with this difference, that actual 1950 revenue and expenditure figures have been substituted for previously estimated 1950 figures. We are happy to report that as of December 31st, 1950, the following cash balances or resources are carried forward into 1951, (as shown on Page 3 - "Cash Receipts, Disbursements, & Balances - Operating Funds 1950", and Page 12 "Central Stores"). - General Fund.... Utility Fund. TOTAL.... Increase Central Stores Inventory.. TOTAL. * .$ 14,013.69 161,077.45 $175,091.14 61,451.51 .$236,542.65 This balance could have been approximately $23,000.00 greater but for the purchase of land for future Trinity Street rights-of-way authorized by the Council in December, 1950. We have included herein a considerable bit of informational reports for the further edification and better understanding of the budget. These are contained within the Pages 1 to 21, inclusive. The previous preliminary 1951 budget did not contain any increase in employee wages. In accordance with the authorization of the City Council, an increase of $10.00 per month for monthly salaried employees and 54 per hour for hourly workers was made for all employees earning less than $400.00 per month. We have shown in detail on Pages 1 and 2 a general summary of this increase as it pertains to the different departments of the City. You will note that this increase totals $232,953.00 for the year 1951. This will leave approximately $172,000.00 to be further distributed when and as the job evaluation study is com pleted, expected to be about March. 69 69 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Page 2 The following further revisions have been made since the preliminary budget, namely: (a) The addition of $6,000.00 was set up for Civil Defense, This expense will be shared by the County government to the extent of 40% (b) A further increase of two "Personal Appraisers" in the Tax Department is recommended, an increase of $5,050.00 for the year. (c) The purchase of corner lot at the Abattoir authorized by the Council for $9,000.00 is also incorporated in the Abattoir "Capital Outlay" budget. (d) A change from $4,000.00 to $7,000.00 in the "Maintenance of Machinery and Equipment" in the Municipal Building account. It should be called to the Council's attention that these budget estimates of revenues and expenditures contemplate an increase in the water rate to provide for sewer service cost. This rate should be put in effect February 1st, 1951, so that the necessary revenues will be provided for the year 1951. I should like to take this opportunity to thank the City Council for your kind indulgence of my efforts for the past seven months, for your splendid cooperation and good counsel. Also, I should like to acknowledge and express my personal appreciation to all the City employees for their good work in behalf of our City. It is only through the good cooperative efforts of all our employees that the job can be done. In view of the present world conditions, these efforts must be increased, for the load will be much greater; however, with the cooperative team work of all of us, we can build and maintain all the institutions of this democracy of ours.
