The City Manager reported that under this contract the item was due and payable, however, the City will be entitled to an adjustment cased on the actual construction costs when the full constructionie completed. Upon motion made by Alderman Tuttle, seconded by Alderman Hi11burn, the City Manager was authorized to pay the invoices as presented. The motion was passed by a unanimous vote of the Council.

Bengston, she had agreed to the price of $800.00 per acre far the approximately 1.4 aCres required by the City as a right of way to extend Linda Drive across Mrs. Bengston's property. This price had been agreed upon by the Council in their February 17, 1959, meeting. Alderman Hillburn made a motion, seconded by Alderman Beecroft, that the City complete the negotiations with Mrs. Bengston for this pro- perty at the stated price of $800.00 per aCre. The motion was passed by a unanimous vote of the Council. City Manager Fuller reported to the Council that a sizable savings might be effected by the City by carrying all their vadous insurance policies in several fleet 1'o11c:.es to be held by the San Marcos insurance association. A survey of the present inSurance of the City would be made by the association in order to draw up these fleet policies, and the premiums would ,be divided equitably among the members of the association. The Council concurred with this suggested I inSUrance program. It was brought to the Council's attention that there was a need for "a clarification of the Ere Zone Regulation Ordinance establishing the #1 Fire Zone on June 7, 1893. The ordinance established the "II Fire Zone as "all of Block No. 13 from the Square to the Rallroad right of way." It was believed that the intent of those Wording this did not take into consideration the possi- bility of future building on the railroad right of way and that the zone was intended to extend to the track rather than some 100 feet from the track. It was recommended that this be clarified to include in the #1 Fire Zone any building on the north side of the MiSSouri Pacific Railroad tracks. Alderman Beecroft made a motion, seconded by Alderman Davis that this ordinance be clarified as stated. The motion was passed by a unanimous vote of the Council. City Manager Fuller reported to the Council that John J. Stokes Construction Company has estimated that they can construct two additional sludge drying beds at the disposal plant for $972.00. Since these beds have to be constructed the Council agreed that an addendum to the contract with Stokes be made for this construction. There being no further business, on motion made and seconded, the Council adjourned. 7 '/~) (' 11/'/ '1/" ,0<.;z w. M. Davis, Alderman / {/v1-'/ c'\ -1/1'\ ,. ~" I, \ (,'- c. M.
