CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS November 16, 1967 CITIZEN APPEARANCE Mr. Tom Fairey, owner of the Tom Fairey Company, appeared before the Council to express his opinion on two matters; the first being the activities of Mr. Roy Velasquez during the April 1, 1966 City Council election and the second being the City's laws concerning inventory taxes. Concerning Roy Velasquez, Mr. Fairey stated that on the morning of the election he received an anonymous phone call saying that Mr. Velasquez was at the school on First Street telling people how to vote. Mr. Fairey then called the Police headquarters and was told that no action could be taken unless requested by the voting judge. Mr. Fairey stated that he felt the Council should take some action to prevent such a situation from happening again. The other matter that Mr. Fairey wished to bring to the Council's attention regarded the City's personal inventory tax system, which according to Mr. Fairey, a good number of reputable businessmen were subjected to. Mr. Fairey stated that in any large merchandising business it was necessary to keep a fair stock of equipment on hand, yet many dealers were forced to hold their stock to a minimum in order to avoid paying the necessary tax. He further said that the City was operating under a very antiquated tax law and that it was time the system be changed. City Manager Tinstman stated that he and Mayor Akin had already met with Mr. Klitgaard, the City's Tax Assessor, and that a new state statute was being considered. He further stated that after enough pertinent information was gathered, a report on the subject would be presented to the Council. MONTOPOLIS AREA DEVELOPMENT PLAN Mr. Ray Moncivais appeared before the Council to present in report form the three phase proposal for the development of the Montopolis area. Mr. Moncivais stated that the Montopolis Community Center, Inc. had already undergone steps for raising funds for the development, a project which would involve the building of 200 low cost homes on 45 acres of land. He explained that the proposal represented 3 1/2 years of work of Father Underwood, members from the Montopolis area and interested people all over Austin. City Manager Tinstman expressed his appreciation for such a well prepared documentary report and noted that it would be discussed with the various departments in the very near future as to what action could be taken.
