SHORELINE IMPROVEMENTS FOR LAGUNA GLORIA City Manager Tinstman explained to the Council that Laguna Gloria members had started to fill in a low section of their shoreline on Lake Austin over a sewer main, without the proper permit. Mr. Dick Jordan stated that the completed work was in line with previous filling in that area. He said the permit had been applied for in the meantime, and he recommended the application be granted. June 19, 1969 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Mr. Walter Caven, whose property fronts on the lagoon, appeared before the Council to request that the permit restrict Laguna Gloria from putting buildings on the newly filled-in shoreline and that it require them to landscape the area. Mr. Joe Lanham, another neighbor, appeared before the Council to express opposition to any expansion by Laguna Gloria onto the newly filled land. He also asked that the island in the middle of the lagoon also be restored to its natural beauty. Mr. John Kingsberry, speaking for Laguna Gloria, stated that there were no plans to build on the filled land.

While it is desirable that property owners in the Model Cities neighborhood serve on the commission, this could be construed as conflict of interest, the City Manager stated. The Council members asked for breakdowns of various budget items, and questioned Mr. Bob McCullough, Executive Director of the Model Cities Program, on expenditures that they thought were excessive. Mr. McCullough and City Manager Tinstman promised to report to the Council at its next meeting on these items and to provide a more detailed budget for their inspection. Mr. Al Brient, a home builder, appeared before the Council to request that the citizens in the Model Cities neighborhoods be polled to see if they want the programs, or if they are satisfied with the existing situation. He stated that the residents in the Blackshear Urban Renewal area turned down their program several years ago. Dr. J.J. Seabrook, retired President Emeritus of Huston-Tillotson College, asked the Council to accept the money for the renewal programs from the Federal Government, in order to beautify East Austin.
