Alderman Sutton moved that the City Manager's recommendations be approved and the contract offered to the 4th Army for acceptance. This motion was seconded by Alderman Hillburn and carried unaminously. Alderman Hillburn made a motion that the City send three men to the annual Fireman's Training School in College Station, July 23-28, at a cost of approximately $60.00 per man plus travel. Alderman Sutton seconded, motion carried. Because of the expense as compared to income and the small attendance at the Municipal Swimming Pool, the City Manager recommended that the pool be closed at the close of business on July 30th.

Alderman Hillburn seconded, motion carried. The Business Manager at'SwrSC had submitted a request that the City restrict parking on North Austin Street from Roanoak to Pleasant Street to holders of the COllege's "R" Parking Permit. This permit is issued to faculty and permanent staff of the College. The Council carefully considered the legal aspects of such permission and agreed that it would be difficult to enforce as this type of ordinance would have questionable validity. It has been the desire of the Council to cooperate to the fullest extent with the College and it was with deep regret that the request was denied. Mr. Senson, Uhland Road requested that the City extend sewer service to his residence. It is the policy of the city to extend service 60 feet for each connection and since Mr. Senson's request for 2 con- nections would be distance of 260 feet the city could allow an exten- sion of only 120 feet. It i~ the Council's desire not to deviate from their policy. The City Manager requested that the Council approve parallel parking on the East side of South Austin Street from Love Street east- ward to McKie Creek in order to benefit residents of Chapultepec Unit of the Housing Authority and to discourage parking on the grass area. The Council concured that this shOUld be done and included in their approval that the police department be instructed to issue tickets to anyone parking on the grassed areas. I Alderman Sutton requested that the City Manager be present on Tuesday nights to explain certain City operation and answer questions from Alderman Ruiz, Younger and himself. City Manager, Fuller stated that he would be happy to meet with the members and,invited all the council members to attend.
