FAGAN DICKSON noted the inspiration in the way the citizens had handled this work. In the past money had been spent for advertising and the burden of responsibility had been placed upon the Council or the staff; but this time, the citizens had undertaken to do this. The staff had done a great deal of research, and came up with a package that was good common sense and financially sound. There were over 100 persons working on a voluntary committee. She expressed appreciation to the women that helped in the cause. MRS. HOMER GARRISON stated they had taken the story to the people, and what is being offered to Austin is simply bringing up to date and keeping up to date a city they truly love.

She expressed pleasure in serving on this Committee, and stated it was a high honor for being asked to serve. MR. BILL YOUNGBLOOD expressed sincere appreciation to all the news media; newspaper, radio and television, for their efforts in bringing the information of the bond program to the people.

COUNCILMAN WHITE expressed appreciation for the fine committee, which had been working hard in many ways--on television, radio, public appearances, and otherwise. He said he had heard no one say one word against the issue, and believ ed the issue would be overwhelmingly endorsed, crediting the committee for its good promotion. COUNCILMAN SHANKS pointed out this was a typical expression of a government belonging to the people. Here are the people who are taking the issue to the people so that the people will be putting government to work. 555 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS August 20, 1964 !! li MAYOR PALMER, on behalf of the Council and Administration, expressed appreciation to the Citizens Committee for the wonderful job it had done. The cause of the bond issue was the growth of the City, and this growth requires additional facilities. Every issue had been carefully studied by a study groupthe Austin Community Council made a very comprehensive study of the hospital and health needs for the next 10-20 years; and what is proposed, is the City's meeting its part within the framework of this survey. The streets, paving, and thoroughfares that are needed, were based on the Traffic and Transportation Study conducted jointly by the Highway Department and the City of Austin; the fire protection is based on good standards of fire protection for the people; and the Parks and Recreation Board had made a careful study of the recreational requirements of the City for the next five years. All of the proposals are based on very specific programs to meet the continued growth of the City. It is the combined efforts of the citizens of Austin, together with the City Council, and City Administration to bring about the civic improvements and projects that all enjoy. He said he was deeply grateful for this Committee, headed by MR. JOE WELLS, MR. BILL YOUNGBLOOD, MRS. FAGAN DICKSON, and MRS. HOMER GARRISON.

There is an accident nearly every week. Councilman Long moved to instruct the City Manager to have a traffic count made and bring in his recommenda- tion. The motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None Councilman LaRue read a request from five bait dealers of Austin, that the Council amend the ordinance prohibiting wading in Town Lake and the Colorado River to Montopolis Bridge to permit the bait dealers to enter said area to trap and/or dip bait by means of boat or by wading, and suggesting the use of permits for bait dealers, since 80% of all bait caught in Travis County was taken from this area. The Mayor asked that this be filed with the City Clerk and discussed when the amendment to the ordinance is considered. Councilman LaRue offered the following resolution and moved its adoption: (RESOLUTION) WHEREAS, on August 20, 1964, W. T. Williams, Jr., City Manager, did file with the City Clerk the proposed budget for the operation of the City of Austin for the fiscal year 1964-1965; and, WHEREAS, on August 20, 1964, said budget was submitted to the City Council by the City Manager; Now, Therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN: That the public hearing on said budget will be held in the City Council Chamber at the City Hall on September 17, 1964, at 10:00 A.M. and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: That the City Clerk shall, at least ten (10) intervening days before said hearing date, publish, or cause to be published, public notice advertising said public hearing. The motion, seconded by Councilman Shanks, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None Councilman Shanks thanked the City Manager for the information the Council received relative to the Budget, stating it was a very simplified, but yet very comprehensive data from which to work, and that he had done a nice job. The City Manager reported that the City Clerk's records failed to reflect approval of the tentative tax rate discussed last week, and the Council probably assumed they had approved the tentative tax rate. Councilman Long moved that the Minutes of August 13th be corrected to show that the tentative tax rate of $1.15 ) CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS :? August 20, 1964 was adopted. The motion, seconded by Councilman LaRue, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None Mayor Palmer introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 640730-F, APPOINTING ELECTION JUDGES; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY. The ordinance was read the first time and Councilman Long moved that the rule be suspended and the ordinance passed to its second reading. The motion, seconded by Councilman LaRue, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None The ordinance was read the second time and Councilman Long moved that the rule be suspended and the ordinance passed to its third reading. The motion, seconded by Councilman LaRue, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None The ordinance was read the third time and Councilman Long moved that the ordinance be finally passed. The motion, seconded by Councilman LaRue, carried by the following vote: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Ayes: Noes: None The Mayor announced that the ordinance had been finally passed. The City Manager stated the Council had just reaffirmed the fixing of the tax rate of $1.15 which was the same as had been throughout the years. He read a letter from the Austin Independent School District stating they too maintained the same tentative tax rate which they had last year of $1.21--$.82 main- tenance, and $.39 for debt service. The City Manager received a letter from a citizen of the Cedar Park Area requesting the extension of water lines out to Cedar Park to provide service to a number of property owners out there. This area is in the Travis-Williamson County Water Control District No. 1, which the City acquired. An investigation of this will be made. He said it looked as though it would require about a two mile extension of line, and probably there would not be enough customers to support the line, however, he would check into this. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS August 20, 1964 Councilman Long moved that MRS. R. SANDERS be heard for 10 minutes. The motion seconded by Councilman LaRue, Roll call showed a unanimous vote. MRS. SANDERS spoke on vandalism, referring particularly to the incident occurring in Round Rock, but generally to widespread vandalism. She said the investigator of the Round Rock vandalism had asked the question "WHY" and she wanted to answer, stating from bad influences from so many of certain books, manuscripts, movies, radio and television and mass communication are contributing factors. She particularly referred to a movie now being shown, pointing out the horrors, the immorality, and greed. This vandalism happened while this movie was being shown, and she could see how this movie might be influential to young people and have some bearing on this vandalism. She asked if there were any way to prevent pictures like this one from being shown, suggesting that since there are laws controlling impure and unwholesome foods, why could there not be laws against impure and unwholesome movies, to keep from poisoning people's thoughts. The Mayor thanked Mrs. Sanders for coming before the Council this morning. The Council discussed the amendment to the ordinance prohibiting wading and swimming in Town Lake. Discussed were liability in case of a minor or persons incapacitated mentally; permits, and whether or not the permit would be restricted to seining; and liability of land owner. Councilman Long endeavored to get the amendment passed. Councilman White likewise favored the amendment. Mayor Palmer made a statement that since the bottom in Town Lake is irregular and would continue to be changed and altered with the dredging operations; and at this time, there are no police patrol boats on Town Lake, and enforcement of this ordinance would be difficult; and until such time as other changes could be made, he would not vote for this ordinance. Councilman Long was under the impression that the area was not in Town Lake but below Longhorn Dam. The Mayor stated the scining could be east of Montopolis Bridge, and he suggested, realizing the danger just below the dam, that the area be set from Montopolis Bridge on down. Councilman Long stated people could seine there now. Councilman Long stated the area she was speaking about excluded Town Lake and the area was below the Longhorn Dam. Councilman Shanks said the Council would have to consider the boundaries where the City's liability was. Councilman Shanks said the Council had discussed that it would make some deviations for the use of the lake, but before they were made, there should be a study on everything to be covered, and try to get it in a comprehensive study all at one time. Councilman Long was ready to vote on the amendment, making it permissible to seine below Longhorn Dam. Councilman LaRue stated he had no conception of the area below the dam and he certainly wanted to study that, because that area is more treacherous than the lake itself. Councilman Long stated she wanted to make a motion to let those people seine in the river below the dam and exclude Town Lake. Councilman LaRue said he surely did want to study this. Councilman Long stated this could be held over then until next week. There being no further business Councilman White, moved that the Council adjourn. The motion, seconded by Councilman Long, carried by the following vote: ATTEST: $09 - CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS August 20, 1964 Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None The Council adjourned at 1:35 P.M. subject to the call of the Mayor.
