CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 275 275 The motion, seconded by Councilman Pearson, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Long, Pearson, Thompson, White, Mayor McAden Noes: None The Council received the following: "April 6, 1955 "Memorandum to: Mr. W. T. Williams, Jr. City Manager "Subject: Distribution of the Codes "We have received from the publishers the finished and bound copies of the Austin City Code of 1954. There are 280 regularly bound volumes with pocketpart covers and 20 copies bound loose-leaf. "The cost of the codification, including all copies, is about $9,750.00, which is roughly $32.50 per copy for the finished product. "Of course, the loose-leaf copies will need to be placed to best advantage in the various departments. "At least three bound copies should be placed in the City Library. At least one bound copy should be placed in the County Law Library. One bound copy should be placed in the Supreme Court Library. These copies made available to the public generally, together with an up-to-the-minute loose-leaf copy available for public use in the City Clerk's Office, should make the City ordinances available to all interested persons who have only an occasional need to refer to them. "Of course, each Council member should receive a copy; and since another recodification will probably not be made until the expiration of ten years, approximately 25 copies should be placed in reserve for future Council members. "Our sister cities of Abilene, Corpus Christi, Dallas, El Paso, Fort Worth, Houston, Odessa, Port Arthur, San Antonio, Waco and Wichita Falls have very kindly given the Legal Department copies of their codes; and I suggest that 20 copies of the Code be placed in reserve in order to reciprocate with sister cites. Hence, approximately 100 copies of the Code are pretty well ear-marked, and the problem is presented of making available in the most advantageous manner the remaining copies of the Code. Since any interested person will be able to examine a copy in the library without cost, the distribution of the remainder should be to those persons who have more frequent need to refer to the Code, and who for convenience would be willing to purchase a copy of it. In determining the price at which the Code should be offered, two things should be kept in mind: One, the price should be high enough to cause people to safeguard the copies they buy and to assure somewhat that persons interested over the next ten years will find copies available at a price which is not unreasonable, but which is high enough to prevent wasting of the copies or hoarding of the copies. Two, the price must be low enough to allow persons who frequently need to refer to the Code to be able to obtain a copy for themselves. This group should be encouraged to read and understand the Code for themselves, and the price should be low enough to preclude the argument that only the righ could afford to own a copy of the Code. "I have made inquiries of the representative of the publishing company and of 276 276 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS local attorneys who I believed represented a good cross-section of the local bar (ranging from the financially successful to the geginner). Mr. Tom Brown, of the Michie Publishing Company, tells me that the city codes they publish have never sold for less than $5.00 per copy, sometimes as little as $10.00 and he would estimate that the average is about $15.00 per copy. One of the young lawyers with whom I discussed the matter said that he believed that a price of between $10.00 and $15.00 would be low enough to encourage the members of the bar to buy copies, and not so high as to prohibit it. Another young lawyer with whom I talked believed that the price should be around $25.00. He doubted that a great number of copies would be sold at that price, but he thought that anything less than $25.00 would encourage the wasting of the books. A member of a small but fairly successful firm doubted that many copies would be sold even at $5.00 per copy, but thought that no more than ten copies would be sold at the price of $12.50. A member of a quite successful law firm thought that it should not be over $12.50, but a junior member of his firm was of the opinion that $15.00 would be a price which many people who had genuine need for the Code would be willing to pay for the convenience of having a copy at their fingertips. "In summary, it appears that a price of $12.50 or $15.00 would be most likely to accomplish the objective, but in the absence of broader opinion, and especially in the absence of actual experience, it would be my recommendation that the City offer for sale only 100 copies at the present time at the price of $15.00 each. If the remaining 100 copies that are not required for public use were kept in reserve, future City administrations will be able to predict, from experience through the sale or the offer for sale of the first 100 copies, what method of distribution of the remaining number should be used. "Regardless of the price at which the copies are offered, it is recommended that an accurate register be kept of individuals who purchase copies so that we will be able to contact purchasers in the event pocket suppléments are printed, and so that interested persons may locate copies after the present edition has been sold. "(Sgd) Doren R. Eskew City Attorney" After discussion, Councilman White moved that this recommendation to sell 100 copies of the Codes at $15.00 each be accepted. The motion, seconded by Councilman Long, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Long, Pearson, White, Mayor McAden Noes: Councilman Thompson* *Councilman Thompson voting against the motion, as he thought they should be more.

The motion, seconded by Councilman Thompson, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Long, Pearson, Thompson, White, Mayor McAden Noes: None Consideration of constructing left turn lane facilities on South Congress Avenue was postponed for two weeks. (April 20th) It was suggested that MR. KLAPPROTH and MR. LAY get with the group interested in this project and go over the problem with them. Councilman Thompson inquired about a previous request from the Traffic Department to check the feasibility of "no-parking" from Lamar Boulevard to Barton Springs Road. He believed this section should be cleared of parking. It was stated there had been a report on this, and the Administrative Assistant to the City Manager stated he would get the report back to the Council. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 286 286 The City Manager submitted a communication from MR. A.H. ULLRICH, Superintendent, Water and Sewage Treatment Plant, and an invoice from MR.

(Acquisition of land, out of the Wattinger tract, for sewage sludge disposal) The motion, seconded by Councilman Pearson, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Long, Pearson, Thompson*, White Noes: Mayor McAden *Councilman Thompson made the following statement regarding his vote: "Because after talking to Mr. Ullrich, I am convinced that although he did not have a written contract with the City, he did have instructions to go do this work under the impression he was to be paid, and Mr. Ullrich attested to that fact and the amount of work done, and the validity of this amount of the bill. Because I think this City should not be making promises and not backing them up, they should pay the man for his services." The City Manager presented a paving project on KAREN AVENUE from Grover to Wild coming under the voluntary paving plan. There are three property owners not yet signed up, and he wanted to advise the Council, so that if these three would not sign up, this would be a project involving some skip paving assessments. The Council agreed informally on this. Councilman White moved that the City Manager be instructed to go ahead and settle the $15,336.94 amount to the architectural firms of JESSEN, JESSEN, MILHOUSE AND GREEVEN and PAGE SOUTHERLAND and PAGE for work performed for the promotional drawings for the Municipal Auditorium.

This Butler property is zoned "A". The Company offered $10.00 a month on the Dallas Highway, and $20.00 on the Butler property. Councilman Thompson did not believe the City should use its land for the erection of sign boards, and Councilman Pearson had heard lots of opposition. Action on this request was deferred. The Council deferred action until the following week on the request from the Austin National Bank to put a night deposit box on Brazos Street and to construct a chute. The City Manager stated the former Director of Public Works had recommended that it be permitted, but he did not look with favor on it, as the sidewalks had been kept clear except the mail boxes. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 287 287 The City Manager reported to the Council on House Bill No. 577, dealing with livestock and stock raising, and listed its affects on the Abattoir. After discussion, the Council informally agreed that the City go ahead with opposing the livestock bill. The Council also agreed to oppose the Water Bill, No. 63. The City attorney explained a bill pending in the Legislature as it affected the paving assessment law. He explained the effects such a bill would have on the City. After much discussion, Councilman Thompson moved that the Administration be instructed to oppose this bill. The motion, seconded by Councilman Pearson, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Pearson, Thompson, White, Mayor McAden Noes: Councilman Long Councilman Long moved that the Council adopt the report made by the Greater East Austin Development Committee. Councilman White seconded the motion. After discussion, Councilman Long withdrew her motion until the following week. The recommendation of changes in cemetery charges was before the Council, and was discussed. The City Manager read a report of charges made by private cemeteries. Councilman Thompson offered the following resolution and moved its adoption: (RESOLUTION) WHEREAS, the charges heretofore made for cemetery lots and grave spaces and for grave digging in the cemeteries operated by the City of Austin have resulted in deficit operation; and, WHEREAS, the City Manager has made a survey of the costs of similar services by other municipalities and by privately operated cemeteries, and has recommended to the City Council a schedule of charges at the various cemeteries operated by the City of Austin; and, WHEREAS, the City Council finds the charges recommended by the City Manager to be in the best interest of all the people of the City of Austin; Now, Therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN: That the attached schedule of charges at the various cemeteries recommended by the City Manager be, and the same is hereby adopted.
