One of the main objectives of the hearing was to determine whether or not it was desirable on the part of the citizens of Austin to apply to authorities in Washington for a planning grant. The Model Cities Program involved four major areas covering a total of 2800 acres. The Council agreed that the program encompassed 10% of the city's population, while nearly 25% of the citizens would be affected by the program if implemented. The service needs provided by the program would include education, health, housing, employment, crime and delinquency, welfare, physical environment, neighborhood design, preservation and conservation of neighborhood resources, and relocation. Opposition to the program was expressed by Mr. Bechtol, representative of the Austin Board of Realtors, who felt that the program was too enormous to be effectively carried out. Mr. Floyd Williams opposed the program stating that it would be dominated by the Federal government and thereby be a socialist threat. Various other speakers appeared before the Council suggesting that certain recommendations be incorporated into the program. Mayor Akin spoke favorably of the program and recommended Federal aid in the project. He further noted that the specifics of the application could be altered such as the acreage involved, but that the main objectives of the project were for the general welfare of the citizens of Austin.
