<br />;\ddition. [',Jr. 'l'uttle owns this property and is interested i:1 subdivision improve-
<br />ments. The cost is estimated to. be :;3,500.00 for the (," sewer line and 6" water
<br />liile extensions. i..r. Tuttle has offered to assume one half t:le cost of the
<br />extensions if the City will aS,sume the othe.r half. ,Hter some discussion the City
<br />Council agreed that this was, the sar18 type of arrangement wl1ich the City had
<br />previously ",ade with Lr. Ilager,s under. similar conditions, therefore the common
<br />consent of the Council was to, make thjs contract with Lr. Tuttle as described, on
<br />the condition that the City's equity. wiJl ariiortize it,selfin five (5) years.

<br />l-:ext the Council cOilsidereda request from <'aul J. nogers that the City pay
<br />the expense of a pump which. was installed to slipply water to the Spring Lake Eills
<br />:,dditiin prior to the time of annexation, namely the SU",Her and fall 01 1')57. me
<br />rental on the pump' for this period amounts to Olle Hundred Forty Five lJollars and
<br />Thirty Cell ts (.;1115.30). Investietation indicated that originally the Ci ty was only
<br />to furnish wate~ to the area1 ~;r. Rogers having installed and owned the pipes.
<br />SometinJe; about 1955t the City gave illr. aOCJers an old piston type pump which T.:r.
<br />i"louers had rebui,lt at his own expense. '.:.']lis was used for about a year. However.
<br />in 1956 the City furnisl1ed ancl instaHed a new li,:" pump to furnish wa-ter to the
<br />addi ti,on. This pump could mt prociuce enough water for the needs .and, in 1957,
<br />J~r. Joqers obtained a pmnp i'rOGl ::;an j...ntonio i~achjl1e ~- :iupply Company at his own
<br />expense. This is the pump on which the rent \vas, under consideration. 'I'he electric
<br />bill for this pump has always been paid by the City, In view of the fact that
<br />only par, of the houses in this addition were in the City limits prior to the
<br />time of annexation, and since the City has always assumed the cost of the electric
<br />bill. for the pump, the Council felt that the City had absolved their part of the
<br />responsibility for furnishing adequate water to that addition.
<br />
<br />kt the regular meeting of the City Council on Ja,nuary 20, 1959, the City
<br />j'.ianaQcr was authorized to ad\rcrtise for bids 011 fencing for the two city owned
<br />lots that will be used as storagc) areas. It was requested by City [I,allager Fuller
<br />that the Council also allow bie to put the utility storage and yard on the
<br />Fredericksburg Street site and erect there a snlall building to be llsed as an
<br />office. :'he outlay of r,',aterials for this office building was estimated to be
<br />,);100.00., 'll1e Council agreed t~la.t this office mi~ht be constructed as requested.
<br />
<br />It was brought to the attention of the Council that when street lights
<br />were authorized for th,e J. 3. '~Vilson and J-. M. 3tone .-:~ddi tions., one liUht, v~as
<br />omitted at the corner 01' {"ead and l\litch..ell, It ,vas aCirced by comn\on consent of
<br />the Council that a light be installed at this location.
<br />
<br />kr. H. /~. 1\e1son had req:18sted that the Ci ty f;lOve the l'ire-Ilydrant from the
<br />corner at the ir:tel'section of Colorado and .~~ustin Streets in order that he Elay
<br />COlistruct a filli]]i] st,atiol1i at this location. id'ter some discussion the Council
<br />a~;reed t.hat the" Ci ty would move the fire-hydrant as requested, provided that t'~r.

<br />provide a location, a place to fill water trul/ks, nnd uniformed police at each
<br />per formnnce of the Circus which the Anierican Legion is sponsoring in San i\larCOS
<br />on Thursday, f,;arch 12. The Council agreed that the City would be unable to
<br />furnish a location within the City limits for the circus, and therefore would not
<br />be obligated to furnish uniformed policemen, since the circus would then be
<br />within the ~urisdiction of the County Sheriff. However, the Council agreed that
<br />the circus water trucks might be filled at one of the established water points
<br />for rural users.
<br />
