<br />There was a discussion on Harold Legge's survey. It was stated that the !>urvey
<br />has not been completed as of this date due to the unexpected work involved. It
<br />was suggested that c special meeting be called in the near future to hear a
<br />final report from Mr. Harold Legge. Calvin Allen suggested that Mr. Legge be
<br />contacted by W. G. Barbee as to J convenient date for the f:lnal report.
<br />Alderman Allen made a motion that Mr. Legge be contacted and requested to set a
<br />date for his final report. Alderman Beecroft seconded thf> motion. A vote was
<br />taken which resulted unanimously in favor of the motion.
<br />
<br />Mr. Barbee reported that he had been contacted as to the date of the I
<br />Dies Sies Parade which will be held in September. He stated that Dies Sies falls
<br />on a Sunday and that the Latin Americans would like to get permission from the
<br />Council to hold their narade on that dav. Alderman Korff made a motion that the
<br />Council ap~rove the pa~ad0 being held o~ Sunday afternc>on at any time after
<br />J.:OO p.m. Alderman Beecroft. seconded the motion. A vote was taken which
<br />resulted ~nanimously in fav~r of t~e motion.
<br />
<br />Mr. Barbee stated that he had previously contacted Frank T. Drought, Engineer
<br />from San Antonio, Texas, pertaining to the San MC:U"C05 Sewer Plant and Lift Station.
<br />He then presented 2 letter from Mr. Drought stating that the trouble we have recently
<br />had at the Lift Station lies in the popularity and prosperity of San Marcos,as
<br />Mr. Drought's Engineer Report of October, 1953, showed an anticipated popu18ti~n
<br />of San Marcos in 1956 as 11,500 people whereas it is now ap~roximately 15,000.
<br />Mr. Drought stat.ed 15,000 is t.he anticipated growth of the town for 1964, due
<br />to his report. Mr. Dr"ol.1ght stat.ed that should t.hese fig~res be correct, the
<br />City of San Marcos has achieved fourteen yearst growth in six years, which is
<br />enough to disrupt any utility installvtion seriously. Mr. Drought also stated
<br />tha-:. liMy idea is that since you arB faced with moving that lift station and also
<br />L::ced with the installation of larger purr.ps, you could pU:I'chase a larger pump
<br />and motor at this time and place it in the lift station, take ou:. one or the
<br />presen-~ pumps and put it aside in storage. I think that i"t is evident iN8 can
<br />never shut the lift station down, so wIler. the move is made ,Ne shall h2ve to have
<br />an extra pump to place in the new ~,tation before we: can move_ a pump frof!'! the
<br />old station, and we can only maintain service to the sewage plant by leap-fragging
<br />t.he pumps from the old stc;tion to tl--le new one. Consequently'~ I do not believe I
<br />that my recornmendatian wf)uld ent3iJ any loss of f!1oney~ although it l,'wuld give
<br />vnu 3 standby ~\.Jmp or (~ !rwrer capa.city th2.n the ne\'.~ pumps~ generally speuking,
<br />~hould be.!' Alderman HillblJrn then sllggested that the Cauricll review the
<br />sitaation and visit the sewer plant ~nci lift station, discuss the situatinn
<br />with Gc.r'l Wilson, S1..:perintendent of tift Station and Se....Ie"L' Plant~ to determine
<br />the exact position in which the City n01l'1 stands. The Counci]' 1,\'35 in fuvor of
<br />Mr. Hillburn's suggestion, therefore, n0 definit~ action W~C ~aken.
<br />
<br />The Coun.cil '.':C:S requ?sted 'to set c Jate for this year's Clean-Up Week.
<br />The C~"Jr;cil unanimously set April 3Q"th '~.hru May 7th as Clf';a~-Up Week.
