Releford, Minister of Rosewood Baptist Church, appeared in behalf of hazardous situation--the dumping ground between Fort Branch and Tannehill Bend, in the vicinity of the Norman Elementary School. The epidemic showing up in Austin emphasized the severity. People are under the impression this area is the official dumping area. Rev. Releford named the property owners of several tractsa Mrs. Showers, Mr. C.H. McNeese, Dr. Holloway, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Martin, and he owned two acres. The Mayor stated the Council certainly would look into this situation and take care of it. The Director of Public Works reported right-of-way had been dedicated to the City all the way through to Tannehill Lane, and the right of way is in the process of being cleared now. Then the Health Department will work with the other owners to clean their property. Mr. Rountree's suggestion of keeping trash depositors out of the area would be to barricade each end of the dedicated right-of-way. Rev. Releford stated signs do not work as someone takes them up as fast as they are erected. Mayor LaRue asked if the right of way were fenced, would the individual property owners fence their property? Rev. Releford stated if the debris were removed from their property, they could fence the property, and he was in the process of fencing his property. Councilman Janes suggested apprehending and filing complaints on several of these people might discourage additional dumping. Rev. Releford had the license numbers of several cars, and had warned the people if they continued using this area for dumping, he would report them to the Police.

He would like to have the matter worked out with a special permit or provide for the plan through a plat to be filed, and have the driveway created as an easement--not as a street. If it is to Mr. Milburn's interest to cut this in more than one tract, then he could do it by subdivision and would have the private easement running all the way through to exit out on the street. The Assistant Planning Director, Mr. Lillie, stated this alternate would be satisfactory with the staff. The purpose set out by the Planning Commission to provide a common driveway easement to connect Langston Drive with Dubuque on the east would be accomplished.

WHEREAS, subsequent to the execution of the aforementioned Grant Agreement, it was determined that the Agreement should be amended to delete the acquisition of certain land under the project and substitute a revised property map Exhibit "A" dated 1.

The motion, seconded by Councilman Johnson, carried by the following vote: Councilmen Atkison, Gage, Janes, Johnson, MacCorkle, Price, Mayor LaRue Ayes: Noes: None ADDITION OF LIEUTENANTS FOR POLICE DEPARTMENT Councilman Johnson brought up for discussion the request by the Police Chief for the addition of two lieutenants, and bringing in two additional men into the force to replace those who were being promoted all the way to the top. Councilman Johnson suggested promoting two men, but not replacing them, as there were an additional 20 patrolmen in the budget. To promote a Serbeant to Lieutenant would be about $30.00 a month plus fringe benefits, and $1200 would be a realistic figure. Councilman Johnson noted the contingency fund was rather modest, but he would be in favor of promoting two lieutenants, but not going all the way through the ranks. The City Manager stated the additional people in the Police Department would be a unit concept. If this could be accomplished within the framework, the Chief would be agreeable, as would he, if there were no conflict in the Civil October 2, 1969 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Service regulations. Mr. Barker, City Manager, reported Chief Miles' interpretation of the Civil Service Law was that when promotions were made creating vacancies, those vacancies, by the Civil Service law, must be filled in 90 days. The Chief states in the event he has the alternative of doing without two sergeants or getting two lieutenants, he would rather do without the lieutenants. The City Manager suggested that he get this article briefed and presented in a manner in which the Council could handle it with the alternative. The urgency arose as a Cadet school is beginning Monday. Motion Councilman Atkison moved the Council have the Chief of Police authorized to promote two sergeants to lieutenants and two patrolmen to sergeants, but not to add two additional men, provided it does not conflict with the Civil Service regulations. The motion, seconded by Councilman Price, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Atkison, Gage, Johnson, Price, Mayor LaRue Councilmen Janes, MacCorkle Noes: Mayor LaRue commented this is an authorization to the City Manager, and this again as he mentioned earlier, is a continuation of the budget matter during Council discussion, and this matter was deferred with the understanding it would be discussed later. DECKER LAKE LAW SUITS Councilman MacCorkle inquired on the progress in the settlement of the law suits with reference to the Decker Lake property. The City Manager, Mr. Barker, reported the cases are being litigated in the Court now. Application for reimbursements on three or four cases inquired into by the Council have been processed on to the Housing and Urban Development administrators in Fort Worth for open space reimbursement. The City Attorney, Mr. Brown, stated Mr. Robert Burns is employed to represent the City in litigation on eminent domain proceedings pertaining to Decker Lake. Mr. Robert Andrews is working on the open space applications. "NO SWIMMING" SIGNS FOR TOWN LAKE Councilman Gage inquired about the "No Swimming" signs for Town Lake. The City Manager, Mr. Barker, reported a previous Council had discussed this and decided it would not be feasible to post Town Lake with "No Swimming" signs because of the length of the shore line. The fact that it was off limits to swimming was well publicized, and the information is given to those people who seek to get concession or some activity on Festival Beach, at the time the discussion was had with the Parks Department. The City Manager had reinstructed the Recreation Director to be sure that any future requirements for use of Town Lake Shores include instructions that it is off limits for swimming. • October 2, 1969 =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Mayor LaRue suggested a change on the Agenda format at end of business items, to have "Citizens to be heard" first; and then continue the routine listing. TERMINATION OF CONTRACT WITH MERCHANTS AND PROFESSIONAL BUREAU The City Manager, Mr. Barker, reported the Council discussed and authorized the Administration to proceed with the Merchants and Professional Bureau contract. The Hospital Board, the City Manager's Office, and all recommended that the contract be terminated. Councilman Price moved the Council authorize the City Manager to terminate the contract with the Merchants and Professional Bureau. The motion, seconded by Councilman Gage, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Atkison, Gage, Janes, Johnson, MacCorkle, Price, Mayor LaRue Noes: None Councilman Gage expressed his concern about collecting the $1,473,000 which is charged to "Special Accounts Collection Section"--bills beyond two years old and have not been collected. The City Manager explained there is legal recourse, and some of these accounts are referred to the Law Department. The Collection Bureau had volunteered to work on the oldest accounts. On the large outstanding accounts, the Administration is intensifying its efforts to collect. It is to be pointed out many of these charges were marginal people, and is the grey area between the people who have the ability to pay, and those who have staff cards. Councilman Janes stated some accounts are not collectible today, but in six months or two years, they may be. Councilman Atkison did not favor charging these accounts off. Mayor LaRue concluded this is an indication that the Council wants a more vigorous pursuit of the accounts that are considered deliquent at this time. The City does have an advantage in that those individuals owning real estate property in the City will eventually take care of those accounts. The City Attorney reported an additional Assistant City Attorney was added to the Staff, and there would be someone to give more time to this matter. The City Manager explained the accounting procedure in that these accounts are not written off the books as such, but are not continued active. CHANGING CERTAIN SCHOOL SPEED ZONES The City Manager, Mr. Barker, stated this was a routine matter, clearing up some ommissions and making some deletions, with the exception of Item 4, which is a new speed zone.
