W. Stege I * ~ coats of paint I The Council was informed that no reply had been received from Mr. Joe Nicola on the Citys' offer to buy Lot 3, Block 29, of the Original Townsite. The City Manager reported on the amount of theft insurance which the City was carrying to cover cash and collections in the office and enroute to the bank. It was the opinion of the City Manager that the $1,500.00 pre- sent coverage was inadequate and recommended an additional amount. Council directed the City Manager to investigate and increase the basic amount to a more realistic figure to adequately cover the Citys' operation. It was de- cided that, during heavy collections, two deposits would be made daily to reduce the amount of cash on hand at anyone time. The City Manager reported that Mrs. Dudley Johnson, 233 W. Liveoak Street had requested a street light be installed near her property. The City Manager recommended that a light be placed on W. Liveoak at Pecan Street and a light be placed on W. Liveoak near Mrs. Johnson's residence, which re- commendation was unanimously approved by the Council. , The request from Mr. Fred Richan and others that a street leading off Bl~ebonnet Drive (near Dr. Norris' home) in the Lightfoot Addition be designated BUENA VISTA DRIVE was considered. The Council noted that this street 'was outside the City limits and directed the City Manager to forward I the request with a favorable recommendation to the County Commissioners. A request to erect a sign on Lot 11, Municipal Airport, owned by the City, was carefully considered by the Council. It was the decision of the Council that HarryMay, San Antonio, Texas, representing the Wonder cave, be allowed to erect a sign not to exceed eight (8) feet in height and thirty~nine (39) feet in length near the line between the lots 10 and 11. This s~gn to be removed within five (5) days after notification should it interfere with the Citys' operation, be disapproved by CAA or in any way prevent the use of the lots. The permit to be for a thirty (30) day period and the rental to be $5.00 per month. The Council approved refunding sewer service charges to Mr. Edward Dupree; 150 Liveoak Street and Mr. J. B. Dupree, 146 Liveoak Street. These charges were made in error as neither house was connected to the sewer line. Checks ,in the amount of $112.50 each were approved being the amount due each in refund. The City Manager presented a proposal to provide fire protection to approximately fourteen (14) houses on Reynolds Street, The Rio Vista Lodge and cottages and the Magnolia and Gulf bulk plants. The suggested line to be 6" cast iron and extend from Cheatham Street northward on ReynOlds Street. The cost was estimated at $1,200.00. This matter was deferred by the Council until later in the year when it could be determined if funds would be avail- able in the capital Account of the Budget for making the installation. I The City Managers' recommendation that the City install 6" x 24" reflectorized, double faced, aluminum street markers on Route 82 from the Circle to the golf course (15 intersections), on Austin Street from Carson's to Colorado &7 intersections) and on Hopkins Street from the Square to the west city limits (14 intersections) was deferred until the next meeting. The estimated cost of this improvement was $497.00 or approximately $13.80 per intersection. The City Council approved a request from the City Manager and the Chief of Police to conduct a traffic study at the intersection of Comal Street with S. Guadalupe Street to determine the advisability of installing some type of traffic control.
