August 29, 1968 =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS "PRIVATE SECURITY BUSINESS" REPORT City Manager Tinstman noted that a report concerning the business of private security had been prepared following the discussion with both the Police and Legal Departments. Tinstman stated that a good part of the promotional material on private security agencies that he and Chief Miles had received indicated that a citizen should call the protective service first and then call the Police Department. Attorney Bob Smith remarked that quite a bit of publicity had been given to an agency which was advertising with such terms as "armed uniformed patrol". Mr. Smith stated that people were getting a false sense of security by thinking they were getting police protection under a private armed patrol licensed by the City when the private patrol didn't have any more power than the citizen whose house he was supposed to watch. He further stated that he would be in favor of some kind of State law that would be uniform having to do with private detectives and detective agencies permitted to carry weapons. Chief Miles said that he was primarily concerned with eliminating any possibility of competition between the various segments of the law enforcement agencies set up by the community. Mr. Norman Rylander, former owner of a private security agency patroling the northeast Austin area, appeared before the Council to inform them of the necessity of these private agencies and to answer questions from the Council regarding his own agency. Mr. Stanley Cavitt, resident of Northwest Hills, also supported the need for extra patrol in certain areas and noted that his neighborhood was trying to work with the Police. After further discussion, Councilman Long moved the Council request the City Manager to work out an acceptable plan which would do away with armed patrols and at the same time provide for some type of night watchman service. The motion, seconded by Councilman LaRue, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Janes, LaRue, Long, Nichols, Mayor Akin Noes: None UTILITY PAYMENT OF ROBERT J. SIDEL Mr. Robert Sidel appeared before the Council to protest his not being credited for a bill he claimed to have paid. Mr. Sidel stated that on the same day he went to pay his bill he was informed of an additional bill left by his ex-wife, which he paid and which the City did record. Mr. Sidel questioned the fact that his bill was somehow transferred to a new address which would not be possible had he not paid the bill. City Manager Tinstman stated that the matter would be investigated and Mr. Sidel would be contacted later.

PERSONAL BOND PROGRAM Mr. Bob Smith, County Attorney, appeared before the Council to inform them of the Personal Bond Program. Mr. Smith stated that citizens jailed should be properly informed of the bond service, but that there was still a difficulty in determining who was eligible, since a good many of the cases were transients. Mr. Smith further stated that the agency that the County was trying to set up would be responsible for locating bond cases, tracing their background, and determining when they should appear in court. After further discussion, Councilman Long moved the Council adopt the agreement as outlined between the City and the County of Travis concerning the Personal Bond Program.
