<br />On motion of Alderman Whittenberg and second of Alderman Serur, the Minutes
<br />of the April l3 and April 20 meeting were approved as presented.
<br />
<br />Bob Haney appeared before the Council to request the Creation of a "Traffic
<br />Committee". He provided the Council with a sample ordinance creating such
<br />a committee, in force in Falfurrias, Texas. The Mayor commended the group
<br />of interested citizens which Mr. Haney represented, and voiced the opinion
<br />that such a committee should be selected with great care. Alderman Wbittenberg
<br />suggested that the number of members on such a committee be restricted to five
<br />or seven. The Mayor ascertained that such a Traffic Committee would work
<br />only through the Council, and ,in an advisory capacity. Alderman Whittenberg
<br />moved that the City Milnager be instructed to prepare an ordinance providing
<br />for a traffic committee of seven members, for consideration of the Council
<br />at the next regular meeting. Alderman Tuttle seconded the motion and on roll
<br />call, the following vote was recorded:

<br />The Mayor declared the motion carried.
<br />
<br />The City Manager preseimted a report on current and delinquent taxes. It
<br />showed that during the fiscal year, delinquent taxes receivable were
<br />reduced $3,891.37; that the City had previously collected from 82% to ~
<br />of the current tax levy during the tax year. However, this had been increased
<br />to 90.64 % during the 1963-1964 year. The City Manager recommended that a
<br />tax attorney not be employed for the coming fiscal year, and an effort made
<br />to collect delinquent taxes through the tax office. The matter was discussed
<br />thoroughly. Alderman Serur moved that the present contract with the tax
<br />attorney not be renewed; that tax suits presently filed should be processed
<br />without delay by the attorney originally filing them; and that no new taXi.
<br />suits be filed. Alderman Whittenberg seconded the motion, and on roll call,
