I I I :::c: - ~ ;;;.... ~ :;;\1 regular meeting, december 14, /964, page three In "Item 6" of "City Manager Items", Mr. Ful fer stated: "It is bel ieved the Community Action Programs envisioned under Title II of PL 88-452 could be effectively uti lized in San Marcos. It is recommended that the Counci I, by Res- olution, appoint the people who served as members of the Steering Committee for Camp Gary as a San Marcos Committee J for Community Action Programs, and that this Committee be authorized to investigate what, if any, beneficial use can be made locally for Title II programs. " The City Manager had issued a Memorandum to the Counci I outl ining some of the avai Jable programs under Title I I. The matter Was discussed. Alderman Ruiz enquired whether the people recommended for appointment had been asked to serve; he expressed the opinion that Title II programs were very different from the Camp Gary project and that he felt that not more than half would be wi lling to serve. After further discussion, the Mayor offered to contact the pres- j ent members of the Steering Committee of "Citizens for Camp Gary", and if they would not serve, he would present other names for consideration at the next Council meeting. Alder- man Tuttle moved that the Steering Committee of "Citizens for Camp Gary", as their nameB are shown in the Minutes of previous meetings, be appointed to a San Marcos Committee for Community Action Programs. Alderman Pool seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. City Manager-Planner Fuller presented a preliminary G.N.R.P. plan p~epffred by himself and the engineer. Using a map on which tentative boundaries were outlined, Mr; Fuller explain- ed which areas would require total clearance, and which, gen- era I up-grad ing and re-deve I opment. He showed two minor changes on the boundaries as previously drawn, and explained the reasons for the change. Mr. Fuller said that after Coun- ci I approval, the plan would be taken t~ the Planning & Zoning Comm i ss i on for rev i ew, and to the Loca I Pub I ic Agency. It would then be brought back to the Counci I for final review and approval. He said he hoped to have the plan ready to submit to Housing and Home Finance Agency in Ft. Worth prior to Jan.l, 1965. After thorough discussion, with questions and answers, Alderman Pool moved that, by common consent, the Council in- struct the City Manager to proceed with all possible speed to prepare the application for a planning and survey grant. Alder- man Ruiz seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Alderman Whittenberg suggested that two patrolmen be assigned for foot duty around the Square to control traffic violations. Alderman Serur asked if the budget would allow hiring one more patrolman. Mr. Fuller said one man was being interviewed at the present. Alderman Tuttle cal led attention to the great number of people who make U-turns on the streets around the Square, and endorsed Mr. Whittenberg's suggestion to have a patrolman assigned to foot duty.
