"On existing poles along roadway south of soccer field area, replace the old type incandescent fixtures with 250 watt Mercury Vapor on 30" mast arms with twin units on 5 poles and single units on 4 poles a total of 14 units. On 3 existing poles along north line of play equipment area, place 1-250 watt Mercury Vapor Wide-lite on each pole, thereby giving additional lighting to this play equipment area. The existing floodlight units in this area are to remain. "Within the main pool-bath house area, the installation of 12-250 watt Mercury Vapor units on 30" mast arms on the existing poles down the centerline of the hillside theater picnic area will provide lighting for this area. On the south side opposite the hillside theater, relocate the existing 35' pole and replace the open incandescent floodlight units with 2-250 watt Mercury Vapor Wide-lite units. Install an additional 400 watt Mercury Vapor Wide-lite unit on the parapet wall of the bath house to light the east end of this picnic area. "The installation of 4 relays and one photo-electric central unit on existing transformer pole serving this hillside theater picnic area will automotically turn these lights on at dusk and off at daybreak. The installation of 8-250 watt Mercury Vapor units on 30" mast arms on existing poles along north and south edge of pool is recommended. These eight units will be switched on for all night security lighting in this pool area after the present incandescent floodlights units are cut off at 10:00 P.M. "In the Rock Gardens Picnic Area, the present lighting at tables and vicinity to remain as these floodlight units are of closed lens type and relatively recent installation. The installation of 2-35' poles along north line of this picnic area with 4-250 watt Mercury Vapor Wide-lite units on theses poles will provide lighting for this picnic area extending eastward from the concrete tables.

MR. R. L. HANCOCK, Assistant Director of Electric Utilities, displayed a lay-out in full. October 30, 1969 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Mr. Barker stated the original concept of lighting the Park was presented two weeks ago had, in his opinion, considerable validity, although it did contemplate expenditures of considerable amounts of Park and Recreation funds. It was his belief that the purpose of this park for the period of time it is used will be better served through the years when it is lighted as contemplated in the original scheme, incorporating particularly the lighting of Bee Cave Road with underground installation up to the intersection of the road where it goes down to Barton Springs Road. He suggested including this roadway out to the intersection of Rollingwood and Bee Cave Road, and that the mounting of the tower be included in next year's budget. He recommended that the Council appropriate from the Council Contingency Fund sufficient monies at this time to execute the plan just unfolded by Mr. Hancock and Mr. Sheffield. Councilman MacCorkle moved the Council adopt the revised plan and authorize the City Manager to pursue this, appropriating the money out of the contingency fund.

It was pointed out no one should be operating on the streets owing taxes to the City. A suggestion was made to cancel out the franchise. The City Manager was asked to do more research into this.

The report has been filed, should the Council wish to review it or have it summarized. SYSTEMS ENGINEER FOR PREPARATION OF GRANT WITH HUD AND IMPLEMENT A DATA PROCESSING SUBSYSTEM ON CITY FINANCIAL PICTURE The City Manager, Mr. Barker, stated five weeks ago, he had asked to apend up to an estimated $400,000 for the services of a systems engineer, who along with in-staff people could prepare a submission of a plan and request for grant to the Housing and Urban Development, to plan and implement a data processing subsystem on the whole financial picture of the City and other entities in the City the School District, Travis County, the University of Texas, and others. With the contribution of Futronics Corporation, two members of the University faculty, active and documented support of the Governor's office, the Austin School District, Travis County, and two individuals from the City of Austin, this report looks like what the City had paid in the past $75,000 $80,000, although it is far more detailed and more technical than any the City could have published. The direct cost to the City was $84,000 for this systems engineer. If the City receives its grant, it will be about $977,000 over the next two years. The University and Futronics have been designated as subcontractors, and they will be paid directly by the Federal government, and they could put together a good application at no cost to the City. Mayor LaRue stated, with the Council's permission, they should write to each of these entities and express the Council's appreciation. ATTEST: There being no further business the Council Adjourned.
