He pointed out on a map an extire area which was a flood plain and showed the route of the drainage. Because of the large amount of right of way to be taken, the City Attorney recommended that the entire properties be purchased. He listed the appraisal price and the amount the sellers were asking. The property is .4 of an acre and has a house and filling station situated there. The owners feel the only fair thing to do would be to go through condemnation. Councilman LaRue moved that negotiations be continued but condemnation of the property be authorized. (HARDY MARTIN 60' x 168', and J. M. ELLIS 67' x 168' both out of the John Applegate Survey.)

She suggested having a recommendation from the City Manager and going ahead and adopting the policies. The City Manager said he had asked the Law Department and others to check to see if anything should be added. Another recommendation had preceded this one dealing solely with development and use of property for Little League Fields, and the two might be combined into one policy. Councilman Long asked that this be brought in next week. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS= February 4, 1965 The Mayor read a communication from MR.

The motion, seconded by Councilman LaRue, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None Councilman LaRue offered the following resolution and moved its adoption: (RESOLUTION) WHEREAS, modern media of communication have enabled the people of the Capital City of Texas to know and to love the inimitable and delightfully charming Lucille Ball, who is especially honoring Austin by a visit to "The Friendly City"; and, WHEREAS, the people of Austin desire that our honored guest shall come to know and remember Austin with the same esteem and affection; Now, Therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN: That as a token of our affections and joy, the 6th day of February, 1965, A.D. shall be especially set apart for the celebration and remembrance as the day upon which the beloved Lucille Ball served her adopted fellow citizens of Austin as "MAYOR FOR A DAY" WITNESS OUR HANDS and the official seal of the City of Austin, Texas, this 4th day of February, 1965, A.D. Mayor Palmer read a communication received from MR. HILLMAN LYONS, General Manager of the Austin Braves, setting out a list of improvements that must be made at Disch Field, and expressing a desire to meet with the City Council. The City Manager estimated what had to be done would be about $30,000. The Mayor suggested setting up an appointment and visit Mr. Lyons next Thursday and make a determination on what can and cannot be done. After discussion, Councilman LaRue moved to recognize $2,000 of the Austin Senators, Inc. maintenance bill in the amount of $3,891.12 as city expense. (Disch Field) The motion, seconded by Councilman Shanks, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None 12. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS_ February 4, 1965 Councilman Long suggested when the Council was at the Auditorium next week, that she would like for each to look at the steps leading to the Ladies' Rest Room. They need to be carpeted all the way down to the basement. The looks and prestige of the Auditorium would be improved 100%. There were all these gorgeously gowned ladies at the Auditorium recently, and it was embarrassing to have them leave the Auditorium and go down those steps. She reported an unsightly condition on the first level where there were stored fire extinguishers, and also stated the steps were not clean. The Mayor read a letter from Roy W. Fletcher, Giddings, in line with Mr. Walter Long's suggestion that a replica of an old water powered mill be constructed in Zilker Park, stating there was a similar structure located in a small park in North Little Rock, and the mill attracts quite a bit of attention. He attached two sketches of this mill. Councilman Long suggested having a place where corn meal could be ground and sold. Mayor Palmer stated Austin would be honored by a visit of His Excellency the Ambassador of France, MR. HARVE ALPHAND and his wife. A presentation will be made at the Embassy, of a microfilm of the original transcript pertaining to the relationship of the Embassy with the Republic of Texas, when Texas was recognized as a Republic. The Mayor asked for authorization to purchase a book on the Biography of Stephen F. Austin, and a dozen flowers for Mrs. Alphand. Councilman Long moved that the Council authorize an expenditure for a book on the Biography of Stephen F. Austin, and flowers for Mrs. Alphand, the flowers to be yellow, representing the Yellow Rose of Texas. The motion, seconded by Councilman LaRue, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None The Council had before it consideration of the request of MR. MAURICE DOKE and MR. REX KITCHENS for permission to alter shoreline of Lake Austin in the vicinity of Old Viking Marina. The Director of Public Works showed on a map the general location where a concrete wall was to be built to enclose the fill to be placed in the slough toward Scenic Drive, and in another area. Also pointed out on the map were the exact locations of the fill and the shoreline. The Director of Public Works said the plans were for an apartment house and above the water there would be three levels of parking. Above that would be a six or seven story apartment building. The Mayor stated the Council was considering the moving in of dirt to fill in the slough; and asked when the fill was made, what was their proposal. The Director of Public Works had received a letter from MR. BILL TURMAN, representing MR. MAURICE DOKE, agreeing they would remove from the lake twice the amount of fill required for the area. MR. TURMAN said when Mr. Doke develops the area across the lake (Lake Austin Inn) he will need quite a bit of fill and soil, and most of it would go at that location across the river, but some would be used at the site under consideration. BROWN ENGINEERING surveyed the area, and estimated about 2,000 cubic yards of dirt would be moved into the slough. Mr. Turman expressed belief that more off the bottom of the lake would be needed. He asked for about one and a half to two years to do this dirt moving. Councilman Long was interested in the manner in which the dirt would be measured, and the Director of Public Works explained there were several different ways of measuring cubic yards of dirt. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS February 4, 1965 MR. TURMAN said after a permanent shoreline had been established a retaining wall would be constructed, and then another survey would be made to obtain exact figures on how much dirt was filled in. He said Mr. Doke was willing to sign any necessary agreements. The City Manager stated there needed to be assurance that a certain amount of fill would be removed. The City Attorney's suggestion in order to obtain assurance, would be that a period of time be agreed upon in which this work would be done. The Director of Public Works said there would be a performance bond. Mr. Turman agreed that Mr. Doke would furnish a performance bond, but they needed a cost estimate on what the work would cost. The City Manager estimated from $1,600 to a top figure of $5,000 depending on conditions of the lake. Councilman Long said a $10,000 performance bond would be more in line. Councilman Shanks moved that the request be granted that Mr. Doke be permitted to move the dirt and place the retaining wall according to the sketch filed with the City Clerk; and that Mr. Doke supply to the City a performance bond in the amount of $5,000 guaranteeing that double the amount of fill would be removed from the lake within a two year period. The motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: Councilman Long There being no further business Councilman LaRue moved that the Council adjourn. The motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None ATTEST: The Council adjourned at 5:30 P.M., subject to the call of the Mayor.
