The minutes of the meetings of May 9th and 24th were approved. I The first item of business was to hear Mr. Bob Kerchville, spokesman for the San Marcos Baptist Academy, request that the Council 'give immediate attention. to improvements to Academy Street from James Street to Lindsey Street and to open Grace Street from Ranch Road 12 into the edge of the Academy's property. After a lengthy discussion, Alderman Korff moved that the City open Grace Street immediately and that the City Manager do necessary engineering to determine what could be done to Academy Street to improve and widen it. The motion was seconded by Alderman Younger and passed unaminously. Mr. C. V. Carson spoke to the Council on his plans to do additional construction and alteration to his establishment at the Traffic Circle. In the work contemplated, it was found that the interest of the public could be best served by shifting the intersection of Austin Street with Interstate 35 some 10 feet to the Northeast. Alderman Hillburn moved that the city exchange land with Mr. Carson and move the entrance as requested. lhis motion was seconded by Alderman Korff and carried unaminously. Mr. S. R. Copeland appeared before the Council and requested that sewer and water lines be extended to his property on Linda Drive and that Linda Drive be improved and paved. lhe Council studied the matter and agreed that the water line could be extended at no cost to the prop- erty owners, however, if they wanted the sewer line extended it would require that the property owners pay the cost of the materials and the City would lay the line. I At the last Council meeting, the matter of ambulance calls had been referred to the City Manager and City Attorney for study and report. The City Secretary read a letter from the City Manager and City Attorney in which they recommended that the Police Department ascertain from the party needing ambulance service which of the three establish- ments was desired. In the event the party was not able to make a deci- sion, then the establishments were to be called on a rotation schedule.
