Mayor McAden read the following letter: "Honorable C. A. McAden Mayor, City of Austin Austin, Texas "November 9, 1954 CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS 1161166 "Dear Mayor: "Upon returning to Washington, I have been shown the resolution which the City Council adopted expressing an appreciation for the help I was able to render in obtaining funds for the Austin Airport. Needless to say, I am deeply grateful to you and the other members of the City Council for this thoughful expression. "Also, I have had my attention called to the fact that you have been elected a director of the League of Texas Municipalities. This not only is a fine recognition of the talents and public spiritedness, but it is a compliment to those of us who live in the City of Austin. "While our personal visits were all too few and brief while I was at home, I do want to tell you that I appreciate your many courtesies to me. "Your friend, (Sgd) Homer Homer Thornberry Congress of the United States House of Representatives" The Mayor announced that the requirements of the C.A.A. would mean additional land to be purchased and additional money to meet the requirments. Mayor McAden read the following communication: "HEADQUARTERS 42D AIR DIVISION Bergstrom Air Force Base Austin, Texas "Office of the Commander "17 Νοv 1954 "Honorable C. A. McAden Mayor of the City of Austin Austin, Texas "Dear Mayor McAden: "informal information has come to me relative to the proposed loop highway from near the intersection of the Bastrop and Lockhart Highways to a union with the Fredericksburg Highway southwest of Austin. "Needless to say, we here at Bergstrom Air Force Base are interested in the construction of this road at the earliest possible date, in order to cut down the congestion of traffic which is generated at the Montopolis Bridge at our peak hours. The work hours at the base have been staggered so that one shift starts at 7:45 a.m., one at 8:00 a.m. and the other at 8:15 a.m. with a like spread at 4:45p.m. 5:00 p.m. and 5:15 p.m. but even with this schedule there is a parade CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 1167 1167 of cars bumper to bumper across the bridge from 7:30 a.m. until 8:10 a.m. and from 4:50 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. We have no actual trafficcount to tell us what percentage of this is Bergstrom cars, but it is certain to be a considerable amount when we do know that several thousand cars come through the two gates of this base during any weekday period and the State Traffic Map shows 12,180 annual daily average, just north of the junction of U.S. Highway 183 and State Highway 71. "A study of the places of residence of civilian personnel reveals that twenty-seven percent live near to or west of Lamar Boulevard and could travel the new road via the Lamar Boulevard Bridge. Likewise it can be assumed that a fair percentage of the civilian and married military personnel residing off the base could use the South Congress route and/or the Expressway on East Avenue. If and when the new loop were built these cars could cross the Colorado River southbound on any of the four bridges now in existence upstream from the Montopolis Bridge to the intersection with this proposed loop road and thence east to the West Gate of the Base, which is only about one half mile from the intersection of the two highways mentioned in the first paragraph. "The need for traffic control and zoning ordnances are problems of mutual interest and if they save one or two lives a year are well worth any effort that is expended. With this idea in mind, I feel it my duty to urge you to understand the interest of this base in the need for the construction of the loop road at the earliest opportunity. "Sincerely, (Sgd) C. T. Edwinson C. T. EDWINSON Brigadier General, USAF Commander" The Mayor announced the right of way for this loop would mean about $325,000 for the city's part. Councilman Long suggested that when the next bond issue is submitted that a proposition be set out for right-of-way and one be set out for street paving, so that the people would know how much paving they would have and how much would be spent on right-of-way. Councilman Thompson stated he would oppose at this time proposing a bond issue for paving, as he was still convinced that a realistic program of paving could be accomplished through the annual budget. The Council discussed various aspects of the bond issues for street improvement and the city's paving program. Councilman Pearson suggested that the Council, City Manager and Public Works Department discuss and decide on a definite paving program, regardless of its size--large or small--and approach it on the revolving fund plan. Councilman White, regarding this proposed loop, stated the State would not be ready to start on this until next year, and as far as any kind of bond issue now, except the school bonds, was concerned, he was afraid there would be a hard time getting them passed. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 11691168 Councilman Pearson stated the condition of the water intake at the plant was serious, as the duck-weeds and other growths were so bad. He was receiving some complaints about this and inquired as to the future plans of cleaning up the river bed. The City Manager explained the condition as being worse this time of the year due to restriction of the flow of water. He stated the Utility Department was designing a machine that could cut the weeds and gather them up; but they could not go all the way to the dam. He explained the needs of the low water dam for the safety of the water system. As the dam backed the water up, deepening the river, the moes and weeds would not grow as long as there was at least 12' of water. Councilman Thompson suggested a 25 year river project, for deepening the river. Councilman Pearson inquired about the health status due to weeds and growths in the lake. The City Manager stated the condition was not as bad as it looked, but the Health Department was constantly watching it. Councilman Long inquired about the City employees' participating in Social Security benefits since the constitutional amendment had passed. The City Manager stated a study was being made of that and he would have something to submit to the Council in about three months; that included in this study was a study of the pension fund and the insurance benefits. Councilman Long asked clarification of the policy of not checking parking meters on holidays. It was explained the Holidays were the ones set aside by the merchants; that on November ll, the Retail Merchants had declared it a Holiday and some merchants observed it while others did not. Councilman Long inquired about the report on the insurance situation and when the matter would come before the Council. The City Manager stated this study was included in the study of the Social Security, and pensions. As to using the pension fund for a revolving fund, the City Manager suggested an advisory counsel from some finance people who understand securities and risks. Councilman Long inquired as to the time the Building Code would be presented. The City Manager stated the Chairman of the Committee that had asked for delay, was calling this Committee together. The City Manager's recommendation was to adopt nne of the standard codes, and make the necessary local changes. Councilman Long inquired about the report on fees and fines. The City Manager believed the report would be ready to submit and to be put into effect in January. Councilman Long asked about the report on the expansion of the Evergreen Cemetery. The City Manager had made a report on this, and the matter was still pending as the man that the City must deal with is still ill. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 1141169 There being no further business Councilman White moved that the Council adjourn subject to the call of the Mayor. The motion, seconded by Councilman Pearson, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Long, Pearson, Thompson, White, Mayor McAden Noes: None The Council adjourned at 12:15 P.M.
