This Item was removed from the Pending list, as the City Manager will have a recommendation on July 15th. Item 3. Report on study of changing name of part of Bull Creek Road. The Engineering Department was to check with the property owners on the Bull Creek Road in Allendale and get their attitude of changing this part of Bull Creek Road to possibly MURRAY GRAHAM BOULEVARD, NORTH BULL CREEK ROAD, or JEFFERSON, the part to be changed, would be a continuation of Jefferson when that part is opened up. - Item 4.

Frederick Eby, Jr., Zoning Application, 2803 Cole Street and 2800 E. Avenue from "B" 5th to "C" 6th.

Stop signs at Concordia and LaFayette. This was taken off the Pending List. Item 12. Zoning request originated by the City Plan Commission at 2609-17 W. 8th; 701-23 Exposition; 2610-22 Lake Austin, from "A" 1st to "C" 6th. This was taken off the pending list. Item 13.

She suggested that some signs be painted along there, and suggested that people be urged to park in the nearby area where there was more space for parking. Councilman Pearson inquired about the opening of Burnet Road. The City Attorney looked into the matter and reported that at this time it looked like the necessary easement would be obtained without having to go through condemnation proceedings. Councilman White asked about getting the shrubs cleared on certain corners of the city. The City Manager stated the North Austin Civic Club had taken this matter as one of its projects, and were going to work on this. The property owners do not want their shrubs cut at this particular time. With regard to encroachments on the sidewalk, the City Manager stated there had been a policy adopted of issuing notices, and there had been lots of notices issued where a number had received four to six notices. He stated there was nothing else now but to go ahead and file on these. There being no further business the Council adjourned at 11:30 A.M. subject to the call of the Mayor.
