Let it be known that the efforts of those participating in these assemblages, both in Austin and other parts of the country, will help steer true the course of this nation's time yet to come. Mr. Duncan pointed out that due to the increasing complexity of our society long-range planning has become evermore important. He felt that in a Democratic society one should strive to involve the ordinary citizens in planning at the grass roots level. Austin Tomorrow has recognized this need and involved thousands of citizens in planning for Austin's future. Horizons Day will be an attempt to engage citizens in a day of national planning to discuss America's third century. Mr. Duncan invited the Council to attend a Future Assembly on June 26 and contribute ideas as to what this country should do over the next 100 years.

Mr. Holder hoped that many of the businesses in Austin would adopt this type of action, and that this would be a constant reminder of the need to conserve energy.

APPEARANCE TO REQUEST USE OF CITY FACILITIES FOR 1976 AQUA FESTIVAL Mr. John Brazieł, Aqua Festival President, appeared before the Council to request the use of City facilities and assistance in conducting several events in conjunction with the 1976 Austin Aqua Festival as follows: 1. Approval of Water Ski Championship on July 31 and August 1, 1976, and Boat Races for August 14 and 15, 1976. 2. Approval for use of motorboats and power safety boat on Town Lake in promoting, staging, and conducting events on July 31, August 1, 7, 8, 13, 14, and 15, 1976. 3. Permission to hold aerial fireworks display at the Lake Shore area on south bank of Town Lake on August 13, 1976. 4. Approval of $5.00 per day rental fee for use of Coliseum for storage of floats from July 7, 1976, to August 22, 1976. 5. Temporary closing portions of the following streets: RIVERSIDE DRIVE, DAWSON ROAD, BOULDIN AVENUE on July 24 and 25, August 8, 1976; BERGMAN on August 6-14, 1976. 6. Request for Parade Permit on August 6, 1976, from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. beginning at Auditorium parking lot on South 1st to West 1st, to Congress Avenue, Congress to 11th Street, west on 11th to Guadalupe, return to forming area. Mr. Braziel noted that attached to the material presented to the Council concerning the Aqua Festival was an outline of some of the benefits derived from other non-profit organizations with the Austin Aqua Festival. He then reviewed the number of spectators who would be viewing or participating in the various events associated with the Aqua Festival. Mr. Braziel stated that the City of Austin was very generous this past year by assisting in buying a motorized float which has appeared in the Cotton Bowl Parade and will appear in 35 other Central Texas cities. CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS June 17, 1976 749 In response to Councilmember Linn's question, Mr. Braziel stated that the money received from the ticket sales is used for the Aqua Festival the next year. Last year the Aqua Festival made approximately $23,000. He commented that he was unaware of any complaints concerning the noise level from the boats and had not discussed the street closings with the concerned neighbors. JOHN MOORE, Chairperson of East 1st Street Neighborhood Center, appeared in opposition to the request being made by the Aqua Festival. He stated that the members of the Advisory Committee of the East 1st Street Neighborhood Center are concerned about the integrity of their neighborhood and are particularly concerned about the effect which special events at the Fiesta Gardens and surrounding areas have on their neighborhood. Also, he was concerned about the noise level which is associated with the boat races as well as the traffic and congested situation that occurs. In the past, there has been repeated opposition concerned with the requests from Aqua Festival and several petitions have been presented opposing the boat races. He felt there should be some alternative way to conduct these types of events in Austin. Mr. Moore commented that he was not against the Aqua Festival but was concerned that this type of thing was happening in his neighborhood. He felt that the events on Town Lake should be taken to a recreational lake in the area or conduct the races and activities at a nonresidential part of Town Lake. WILLIAM HUNT, a resident of the Rebekah Baines Johnson Center, stated that at a recent resident council meeting it was voted unanimously to try and have the boat races located at some other place because of the high noise level. Mr. Hunt commented that some of the residents of the Center are sick and the noise created by the boat races is very disturbing. JESSIE SEGOVIA, 2010 Bergman, asked what part of Bergman would be closed and Mr. Reuben Rountree, Director of Public Works, stated that the only portion to be closed would be from Anthony Street to Canadian. This will only be closed at night when Fiesta Gardens is open. In response to Councilmember Himmelblau's question, Mr. Braziel commented that as far as conducting the boat races somewhere else, at this time alternate sites have not been investigated. This particular area on Town Lake has the most unique water situation for the boat races. Councilmember Trevino asked about the area west of Lamar being used for the races, and Mr. Braziel noted that the boat races are a paid ticketed event and would require a lot of fencing to accommodate the number of people who attend. Councilmember Trevino pointed out that they are becoming increasingly concerned about the boat races and felt it would be wise for the Aqua Festival to begin thinking in terms of other possible locations for future events. Mr. Braziel stated that he would be happy to explore other alternate areas. Motion Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the Council approve the request to use City facilities and assistance in conducting several events in conjunction with the 1976 Austin Aqua Festival, as outlined in the beginning, and that other places be investigated to hold the boat races in the future. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Hofmann. =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 17, 1976 750 Mr. Moore pointed out that each year when this request from Aqua Festival for the boat races is presented, the Council has said that the next year the races would be conducted differently or the noise would be diminished. Thus far, nothing has been done and he requested that this year would be a good time to start making other arrangements for the Aqua Festival. Mayor Friedman stated that an ordinance was developed and passed that pertained to noise and changed the operation of some of the boats and felt that more changes are needed. Councilmember Trevino suggested that the organization continue to work with the East 1st Street Advisory Committee and any other interested groups to arrive at a solution to this problem. Mayor Friedman also suggested that Mr. Moore meet with the members of the Aqua Festival to discuss this matter. Friendly Amendment to Motion Councilmember Linn offered a friendly amendment instructing the Aqua Festival organization to present alternate sites in their proposal next year. Councilmember Himmelblau accepted the amendment. Roll call on the amended motion showed the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Himmelblau, Hofmann, Linn, Trevino, Mayor Noes: Friedman, Mayor Pro Tem Snell None Absent: Councilmember Lebermann Motion on Resolutions Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the Council adopt resolutions temporarily closing portions of the following streets on the dates stated: 1. RIVERSIDE DRIVE, DAWSON ROAD, BOULDIN AVENUE on July 24 and 25, August 8, 1976. 2. BERGMAN on August 6-14, 1976. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Hofmann, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Himmelblau, Hofmann, Linn, Trevino, Mayor Friedman, Mayor Pro Tem Snell Noes: None Absent: Councilmember Lebermann At this time, Mr. Braziel introduced the Queen of the Aqua Festival, Miss Gari Beth Covert who distributed Aqua Festival Skipper Pins to the Council. Mr. Braziel then reviewed some of the activities associated with Aqua Festival by way of a slide presentation. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 17, 1976 751 PARADE PERMIT Councilmember Linn moved that the Council approve a request for a Parade Permit from Dan Brainard for Northwest Hills July 4th Parade Committee on July 4, 1976 from 11:00 a.m. to 11:45 a.m., beginning eastbound on Far West from Waterline to Murchison Jr. High. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Trevino, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Hofmann, Linn, Trevino, Mayor Friedman, Noes: Mayor Pro Tem Snell, Councilmember Himmelblau None Absent: Councilmember Lebermann APPEARANCE TO PRESENT A BICENTENNIAL GIFT Mr. T. W. Johnson, Secretary-Treasurer, Capital Life Club, appeared before the Council to present a Bicentennial Gift (check) to Mr. Jack Robinson, Director of Parks and Recreation. Mr. Johnson noted that the President of the Capital Life Club would make the presentation to Mr. Robinson. Mr. Johnson informed the Council about the Capital Life Club and stated that the organization was composed of retired telephone employees. He then reviewed for the Council the activities of the Club and pointed out that 1,723 hours had been spent in one year by these retired senior citizens in doing volunteer work. Mrs. Graves, President of the Capital Life Club, then presented a check to Mr. Robinson in the amount of $500.00 for the City of Austin to be used at Republic Square for trees. Mr. Robinson noted that many organizations had been involved in Republic Square and he felt that this project by the Capital Life Club was one of the most pleasing donations the City has received. APPEARANCE TO DISCUSS A SEVEN ACRE TRACT OF LAND Ms. Helen M. VanDyke appeared before the Council to discuss problems concerning a seven-acre tract of land which has been in her family for over 100 years. She requested that the City look at the property and aid her in solving the problems she is having with the land. Ms. VanDyke commented that she would like to use the property as collateral to buy a garment shop located in Waco, Texas. In response to Mayor Friedman's question as to the location of the property, Ms VanDyke stated that it was located in the 1702-1726 Tannehill Lane area and in front of property owned by the School District. She stated that she could be reached at 472-2196 and her mailing address was 1611 East 11th Street, Austin, Texas. Her address in Waco, Texas, was T.S.T.I. campus, 315 Maxwell Lane, 817-752-3549. Mayor Friedman stated that the necessary department involved with this zoning would be contacted to investigate this matter. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 17, 1976 APPEARANCE TO DISCUSS TEXAS BLUE CROSS CONTRACT AT BRACKENRIDGE HOSPITAL 752 Ms. Jackie Cox appeared before the Council to discuss Texas Blue Cross Contract at Brackenridge Hospital. In referring to the resolution she had prepared for the Council, Ms. Cox commented that under the contract Blue Cross has the power to tell Brackenridge Hospital what it may or may not charge for services. She felt it was rather strange that a non-governmental entity was allowed to dictate what the revenues for the hospital will be. Ms. Cox noted that also included in the material presented to the Council were copies of the price change request forms which Brackenridge has to submit to Blue Cross in the event they wish to change the charge for services. In the event the charges are not approved, Blue Cross lines out the proposed charge and fills in another number. She felt it was not appropriate for a private corporation to tell the City what it will or will not charge at Brackenridge Hospital, and if the corporation is to retain this kind of power that as a minimum, one should require Blue Cross to inform the Council of the standards, procedures and policies used in fixing the prices and revenues at Brackenridge. Ms. Cox requested that the Council proceed as follows: 1. Require that Blue Cross disclose whatever price fixing, standards, procedures are being used. 2. That the Council require Brackenridge Hospital and Blue Cross negotiate in open meetings what those prices will be. She submitted that she also had a copy of a filing that Blue Cross made with the Insurance Board of Texas and includes a general description of the Blue Cross plan of operations. Ms. Cox then read the statement that follows the description which she felt was a very general statement and was not clear on the prices. In response to Mayor Friedman's request, Ms. Cox stated that the Harris County Hospital District was contacted and she spoke with the director of Ben Taub Hospital. He indicated that the hospital reviewed their contract with Blue Cross and decided that it was not appropriate to have a corporation dictating what the price structure would be nor did they think it was proper to guarantee free care to Blue Cross patients, under certain circumstances. Therefore, they decided to alter the contract with Blue Cross which is an option that the Council has available. After discussion concerning the contract, Mayor Friedman pointed out that Blue Cross was not being accused of anything. Councilmember Himmelblau felt that Blue Cross was responsible for their policy holders and not Brackenridge. Mr. William King Brown, Administrator of Brackenridge Hospital, expressed his concern on this matter and he felt that the contract should be reviewed by the City Attorney. He pointed out that Ms. Cox was a writer and he had been talking with her since last fall, because she was planning to write an article for sale. Mr. Brown also was concerned about the lobby registration and if Ms. Cox was being paid for writing this article. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 17, 1976 753 Mayor Friedman pointed out that the Lobby Registration Ordinance pertained to one representing a person or organization for money to do a certain act. Mayor Friedman then asked Ms. Cox if she was being paid by someone to investigate this, and she answered she was not. Mr. Brown submitted that last fall it was the impression of the hospital staff that research was being done in order for Ms. Cox to write a proprietary article for a local magazine. In conclusion, he felt that the contract should be examined by the City Attorney. City Manager Davidson stated he wanted to review the contract and the questions presented by Ms. Cox. Mayor Friedman stated that this was what Ms. Cox wanted and that he would see that there was a motion authorizing this review to take place. Ms. Cox commented that if possible, Blue Cross make public whatever standards or criteria they use. Mayor Friedman pointed out that Blue Cross would have to be contacted since they have the material. In response to Mayor Pro Tem Snell's questions, Ms. Cox noted that Blue Cross had not filed with the Insurance Commission, and felt Blue Cross had a special statute. Councilmember Hofmann commended Ms. Cox on the research she had done on this matter. Councilmember Linn pointed out that the members of the press obtain articles for money and she did not consider them lobbyists. Councilmember Linn moved that the Council instruct the City Attorney to review the contract with Blue Cross as well as the resolutions proposed by Ms. Cox, and that a public report be presented to the Council. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Trevino, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Linn, Trevino, Mayor Friedman, Mayor Pro Tem Snell, Councilmember Hofmann Noes: None Abstain: Councilmember Himmelblau Absent: Councilmember Lebermann HEARING TO CONSIDER THE INSTALLATION OF WATER MAIN THROUGH KEALING PARK TO SERVE BLACKSHEAR AREA Mayor Friedman opened the public hearing scheduled for 7:30 p.m. to consider the installation of a water main through Kealing Park to serve the Blackshear area. In response to Councilmember Linn's question, Mr. Don Wolf, Acting City Attorney, stated that the Parks Board would review this request this week, and he recommended that if it is approved, that it be subject to the Parks Board's approval. Mayor Pro Tem Snell commented that he had no problem with considering this item next week. Mayor Pro Tem Snell moved that the Council continue the public hearing on the installation of a water main through Kealing Park to serve the Blackshear area on June 24, 1976, at 11:30 a.m. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Linn, carried by the following vote: CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 17, 1976 254 Ayes: Councilmembers Linn, Trevino, Mayor Friedman, Mayor Pro Tem Snell, Councilmembers Himmelblau, Hofmann Noes: None Absent: Councilmember Lebermann APPROVAL OF APPLICATION TO COVER EXPENSES OF CENTRAL TEXAS LIBRARY SYSTEM Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the Council adopt a resolution approving an application for $336,728 to cover expenses of the Central Texas Library System in the provision of materials and support services to member libraries, funded under the State Library Systems Act and the Federal Library Services and Construction Act, Title 1. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Hofmann, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmember Trevino, Mayor Friedman, Mayor Pro Tem Snell, Councilmembers Himmelblau, Hofmann, Linn Noes: None Absent: Councilmember Lebermann LICENSE AGREEMENT PERMITTING ENCROACHMENT The Council had before it for consideration approval of a License Agreement permitting encroachment by a portion of proposed building in the north sidewalk area of West 24th Street, adjoining Lot 18, Outlot 49, Hitchcock's Subdivision of Outlots 49, 50 and 51, Division D, of the Government Outlots adjoining the Original City of Austin. (Requested by Martin H. Boozer, Jr., Attorney representing Lopaka's Restaurant Inc.) Motion Councilmember Linn moved that the Council adopt a resolution authorizing a License Agreement permitting encroachment by a portion of proposed building in the north sidewalk area of West 24th Street, adjoining Lot 18, Outlot 49, Hitchcock's Subdivision of Outlots 49, 50 and 51, Division D, of the Government Outlots adjoining the Original City of Austin. (Requested by Martin H. Boozer, Jr., Attorney representing Lopaka's Restaurant, Inc.) The motion was seconded by Councilmember Trevino. Mayor Friedman pointed out that this would be subject to the normal license agreement whereby, if necessary, the City needs the area the structure would be removed at the owner's expense. City Manager Davidson stated that this request for the license agreement was not recommended by the staff. Mr. George Henry, Urban Transportation Department, addressed himself to the reasons why the Urban Transportation Department did not support this request: 1. If the structure is built, it will further restrict the sight of drivers southbound on Nueces at this intersection. 2. The paving in the sidewalk area has already been asphalted and extends over the existing sidewalk by one foot, which has reduced the four-foot sidewalk down to approximately three feet. June 17, 1976 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 255 3. Five collisions have occurred at this intersection in the past 12 months. Mr. Henry also noted that there were several large pecan trees in this area which would also restrict vision. He strongly felt that this request, if approved, would be a detriment to the safety of pedestrians and bicyclists in the area of the intersection of 24th and Nueces. In response to Councilmember Trevino's question, Mr. Henry commented that when the license agreement was processed, it was not reviewed by Mr. Joe Ternus, Director of Urban Transportation, or by himself. When they became aware of the request, it was immediately brought to the attention of the proper City personnel. MR. MARTIN BOOZER, representing the applicant, stated that this structure would not be closer to the sidewalk than any of the other structures but would be the same distance and would conform to the same distances. In response to Councilmember Hofmann's question as to reducing the size of the structure, Mr. Boozer noted that this would be very difficult since it would defeat the purpose of the request which is a wooden deck that will have exterior seating for adjacent restaurant use. Friendly Amendment to Motion Councilmember Himmelblau offered a friendly amendment to the motion whereby in the event this proves hazardous, the City can cancel the license agreement. Councilmember Linn accepted the amendment. Roll Call Roll call on the amended motion showed the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Friedman, Mayor Pro Tem Snell, Councilmembers Noes: Himmelblau, Hofmann, Linn, Trevino None Absent: Councilmember Lebermann LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH UNITED STATES POST OFFICE Councilmember Linn moved that the Council adopt a resolution authorizing a License Agreement between the City of Austin and the United States Post Office, to allow encroachment on the south right-of-way of Red River Street. Encroachment would consist of planting of Asiatic Jasmine as ground cover. (Requested by E. G. Vorwerk for the United States Post Office). The motion, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Snell, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Pro Tem Snell, Councilmembers Himmelblau, Hofmann, Linn, Trevino, Mayor Friedman Noes: None Absent: Councilmember Lebermann Mayor Friedman extended his thanks to Mr. Vorwerk for his help in working with the City in certain postal situations. In response to Councilmember Hofmann's question, Mr. Reuben Rountree noted that the annual fee would be waived, but everybody pays the processing fee.

CONTINUATION GRANT FROM THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION TRAFFIC SAFETY OFFICE (Fiscal Mayor Pro Tem Snell moved that the Council adopt a resolution for authorization to make application for a continuation grant from the Texas Department of Highways and Public Transportation Traffic Safety Office. year 1976-1977 operating cost: $80,563; $15,559 State funds - $65,004 City funds) The motion, seconded by Councilmember Trevino, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Linn, Trevino, Mayor Friedman, Mayor Pro Tem Snell, Councilmembers Himmelblau, Hofmann Noes: None Absent: Councilmember Lebermann SELECTION OF ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES The Council had before it for consideration the selection of Architectural Services in connection with the following 1976 Capital Improvement Program Project for the Human Resources Department: South Austin Multi-Purpose Facility Motion Councilmember Trevino moved that the Council adopt a resolution selecting the firm of INDEPENDENT ARCHITECTS for Architectural Services in connection with the 1976 Capital Improvement Program Project for the Human Resources Department which involves the South Austin Multi-Purpose Facility. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Hofmann. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS- Substitute Motion - Died June 17, 1976 759 Mayor Pro Tem Snell moved that the Council select the firm of IAP ARCHITECTS & PLANNERS for Architectural Services in connection with the 1976 Capital Improvement Program Project for the Human Resources Department which involves the South Austin Multi-Purpose Facility. The substitute motion died for lack of a second. Mayor Pro Tem Snell pointed out that the staff recommended Independent Architects for the job; however, this group was recently awarded a million dollar contract associated with Givens Park. Since the Council has said that the award of contracts should be distributed evenly, he made the aforementioned motion. Councilmember Linn commented that it was her understanding that the only firm that met the government guidelines was the firm of Independent Architects. Councilmember Trevino stated that the Federal regulations clearly state that any firm or company living within the impacted area be given top priority. Mayor Pro Tem Snell wanted to know why this same recommendation was not made when Givens Park was awarded to the same firm. Mr. A. M. Eldridge, Director of Construction Management Department, noted that the selection of the firm of Independent Architects was made in January, 1975 and the project is approximately 50 per cent completed in the planning stages. He also stated that the other two recommendations involved available minority architects. At the present time, there are no available architects on their staff. Councilmember Hofmann pointed out that she had requested this new method of selecting architects and this is the first time that the new method has been used and she would like to honor it. In response to Councilmember Linn's question, Mr. Eldridge commented that the firm of Independent Architects was the only firm that met the government guidelines, since this firm had a registered architect already employed. City Manager Davidson stated that with the Federal grant involved, it was strongly urged that economic opportunities be made to such residents whenever possible. In response to Councilmember Linn's question, Mr. Eldridge stated that a contract could be awarded to a firm that did not have a registered architect if this is what the Council desired to do. Councilmember Trevino felt that the Government regulations concerning this were very strong in that first consideration should be given to residential firms. The firm of Independent Architects has worked for a long time with the residents of South Austin and has developed a rapport with the people in the community; therefore, he felt the recommendation of the City's professional staff should be supported. Mayor Friedman pointed out that Givens Park was an extension of the original contract. Mayor Pro Tem Snell disagreed with this. Mayor Pro Tem Snell felt that the Council should follow through on their previous agreement that the contracts would be distributed evenly. Mayor Friedman submitted that if there were other qualified firms in this area, then the contract could be spread around. June 17, 1976 = CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 760 Substitute Motion - Died Councilmember Linn moved that the Council obtain a legal opinion concerning the question of whether or not the other two firms are eligible for the award and delay any decision for one week. The substitute motion died for lack of a second. Councilmember Linn requested that information be presented as to the qualifications of the concerned firms. Mayor Pro Tem Snell asked Mr. Euris V. Carmichael if his firm was qualified for the award, and Mr. Carmichael stated yes. City Manager Davidson commented that if the Council desired a legal opinion, he would be happy to provide it; however, it was not his understanding that it was an ironclad requirement but rather a guideline. It was his indication that all three firms probably could meet the guidelines, but the firm recommended as number one was most appropriate because of their location. Councilmember Linn suggested that this be postponed for one week. Roll Call on Original Motion Roll call on Councilmember Trevino's motion, Councilmember Hofmann's second, that the Council adopt a resolution selecting the firm of INDEPENDENT ARCHITECTS for Architectural Services in connection with the 1976 CIP project for the Human Resources Department which involves the South Austin Multi-Purpose Facility, showed the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Trevino, Hofmann, Himmelblau, Mayor Friedman Noes: Mayor Pro Tem Snell Abstain: Councilmember Linn Absent: Councilmember Lebermann The Mayor announced that the motion had carried. Mayor Friedman wanted it to be clear that the contracts had to be passed around and in a lot better fashion. Mayor Pro Tem Snell stated that each time the contracts come before the Council, the same thing is said about distributing them around, but they are not always passed around when it comes to a Black. He did not think this was right. GRANT APPLICATION TO TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS Councilmember Trevino moved that the Council adopt a resolution authorizing the submission of a grant application to Texas Department of Community Affairs for a Health Education Prevention Project. (Grant amount $28,000September 1, 1976, to August 31, 1977) The motion, seconded by Councilmember Linn, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Pro Tem Snell, Councilmembers Himmelblau, Hofmann, Linn, Trevino, Mayor Friedman Noes: None Absent: Councilmember Lebermann June 17, 1976 761 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS LEASE AGREEMENTS FOR SPACE IN ROSEWOOD VILLAGE SHOPPING CENTER Councilmember Linn moved that the Council adopt a resolution approving two lease agreements providing for space in the Rosewood Village Shopping Center for use by the Health Department. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Trevino, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Himmelblau, Hofmann, Linn, Trevino, Mayor Friedman, Mayor Pro Tem Snell Noes: None Absent: Councilmember Lebermann ACQUISITION OF CERTAIN LAND Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the Council adopt a resolution authorizing the acquisition of certain land for the extension of East 26th Street to Manor Road: 2701 Drury Lane (Jimmy Rizik, Jr.) The motion, seconded by Councilmember Trevino, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Noes: Absent: Councilmembers Hofmann, Trevino, Mayor Friedman, Councilmember Himmelblau Councilmember Linn, Mayor Pro Tem Snell Councilmember Lebermann SETTING PUBLIC HEARING ON APPLICATION OF CAPITAL AMBULANCE SERVICE Councilmember Linn moved that the Council adopt a resolution setting a public hearing at 2:30 p.m. on July 8, 1976, to consider application of the Capital Ambulance Service for an Ambulance Franchise.
