In response to Councilmember Hofmann's question, Mr. R. L. Hancock, Director of Electric Utility, commented that it would be difficult to say who would benefit from the lowering of Lake Austin. The purpose of lowering the lake would be to control the growth of duckweed in the lake. Since the lake is used year round for recreational purposes by a large number of people, it obviously would benefit the people that live on the lake as well as those with property on the lake. Mr. Hancock noted that the duckweed posed a serious problem for boaters and skiers. ن _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 16, 1975 1096 City Manager Davidson informed the Council that the Navigation Board had approved this request of lowering the lake.

Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the Council adopt a resolution authorizing an Agreement with the Lower Colorado River Authority for the lowering of Lake Austin from November 10, 1975, to November 30, 1975.
