<br />The Mayor declared the motion carried.
<br />
<br />C.T. Swenson, W.E. Wood and Sam R. Stanberry of the U.S.
<br />Corps of Engineers, presented a flood control plan for
<br />San Marcos, under preparation for many years. Using maps
<br />and charts, they explained the different approaches to
<br />flood control, which involves the Blanco River, the San
<br />Marcos River, Purgatory Creek and McKie (Willow Springs)
<br />Creek. The present plan was based on diversion of water
<br />from Sin~ S~rings to the Blamco River with a concrete
<br />ditch. The bends would be taken out of the San Marcos
<br />River to make a straight channel. Dr. Craddock asked if
<br />this would not destroy the beauty of the San Marcos River.
<br />Mr. Stanberry agreed that most of the trees along the River
<br />would have to go, but said funds were available to beautify
<br />the banks, after the engineering work was completed.
<br />Total cost of the project would be $5,244,000. The Federal
<br />Government would pay $2,808,000; the City's cost would be
<br />$2,234,700. The City would be required to buy right-of-way,
<br />and maintain it, build bridges, p~y for relocation of utili-
<br />ties, and be responsible for any damages which might ensue.
<br />The Engineers asked that the Corps be given a "Letter of
<br />Agreement" based on a suggested form. The Mayor thanked the
<br />Engineers for their pres~ntation , and said the Council
<br />would give it further study.
