The group was composed of 100 lay and professional people who would coordinate all drug problems within the City. Mr. Dickson stated that about nine months ago a group of Optimists met with representatives of the State Health Department and members of the Governor's Office on Drug Abuse, the State Program on Drug Abuse to try to create the idea for a Drug Central. For the past six months local efforts had been made to create the Drug Central operation after talks with local leaders throughout the City, All interested parties had been contacted who saw a need for a central coordinating body to cope with drug problems and to set priorities on programs to be developed. Mr. Dickson indicated some of the comprehensive programs which would be undertaken: drug education, assisting our public schools, development of community-wide information programs, treatment programs, rehabilitation programs, prevention oriented programs, and the strengthening of law enforcement programs and community support for them. i ! 49 = CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 14, 1971 Councilman Price and Councilman MacCorkle thought that the idea was a good one and felt that the project should have the Council's blessing. Mr. Dickson pointed out that for now the Council was being asked simply to endorse the program, but at a later date it might be necessary to ask for funding. The Optimist Clubs had provided initial funding to initiate the project, and other sources of funds were being explored. Councilman Gage wondered if the Capitol Area Planning Council might be interested in the project. Mayor LaRue stated that Mr. Dickson had already pursued that possibility and that several of the Commissioners were interested in the project. He had a meeting scheduled with Mr. Hoyle Osborne to pursue the matter further.
