Mrs. WOFFORD was the teacher. MR. A. M. FLEMMING spoke for a group of citizens in southwest Austin regarding the water problems. This group was annexed about two years ago. He explained in detail the water system now present, but it is inadequate, and it was his understanding that the City was held up pending the obtaining of easements. He did not understand the policy in effect whereby if a property owner gives the City an easement, he would still have to pay for engineering services of surveying, etc. The City Manager outlined the general plan for this section of the City, stating a twelve inch line would be installed in the spring and that an adequate water supply would be available by summer. The Mayor suggested when ease- ments were obtained that it might be well to get easements for the road also. Councilman Long moved that the City Manager be authorized to bring about condemnation proceedings for rights-of-way that he needs in this area to accomplish this water line and rights-of-way for whatever is needed. 1 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 182 182 The motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Long, White, Mayor Drake Noes: None Absent: Councilman MacCorkle The City Manager explained that the giving of easements for water lines worked to the benefit of the developer; and that the developers put in the lines, and in due time receive the refunds for them. He stated it was an asset to them. The City Manager and City Attorney explained the policy of dedicating streets for public use; and that before a subdivision were approved, these streets and easements must be provided; and that the engineering costs he had spoken of perhaps were for getting the subdivision ready to submit for approval.
