rj<t' ~ ::0 ~ l') ~ The matter of a corporation court recoTder was dis- cussed. The Council was reminded that Mr. James Burwell, City Sanitarian now acting as Tecorder, would be ineligible as soon as the City-County Health Unit went into operation. The City ManageT was directed to contact the Hays County Bar Association for a recommendation regarding the recorder. The City Manager presented a preliminary plan for street resurfacing and paving for the Fiscal Year 1961-62, con- sisting of some 58 blocks. He reported that Type D Hot-mix could be obtained, during April and May, from the H. B. Zachry plant on the Blanco River at a price of $3.85 per ton fob the plant. The program as outlined would cost the City some $l3,000.00 for mate- rials and labor. Alderman Sutton moved the adoption of the plan, seconded by Alderman Hillburn and carTied. I A recommendation by Alderman Sutton that the City hold "open house" sometime during April and invite the general public to visit the various departments was discussed and tabled for further consideration. It was the general opinion of the Council that this would afford the citizens an oppoTtunity to view the operations of the city government. The Council considered the matter of the joint County-City recreational area at Canyon Reservoir. Alderman Hillburn introduced a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to proceed with the application for a license for a public park and recreational area from the Department of the Army and authorizing the City Manager to sign the necessary application on behalf of the City. This motion was seconded by Alderman Sutton and ,carried. The City Manager reported that he had received a bid for marking cross walks at intersections, paTking lanes, etc. at a price as cheap or cheapeT than the City could do the work. It was the unanimous decision of the Council that a test pattern be made and, if satisfactory, the project be continued. The price of 2-3/4~ per foot for a 4" line, guaranteed for one year, was believed to be satisfactory. I AfteT discussion of the need for additional trans- portation by the Police Department, Alderman Beecroft made a motion that the City Manager turn over the 1961 Plymouth he is driving to the Police Department and ask for bids for a car for the use of the City Manager. Alderman Hillburn seconded, and the motion carried. There being no further business, the Council, on motion, adjourned at 2.45 P.M. to reconvene at 2.00 o'clock on Tuesday, March 21st. <-Cf ' James Tutt1~, Mayor Pro Jp.~ fJ'f' " '-- i ct /t/l ' ,{ /^'" S-:--- R.
