regular meeting, february 10, 1969 page two Mr. Taylor said the Parks & Wecreation Board was prepared to allot $5,000 of the budgeted amount toward a three-year program to bring the lighting system up to national standards, provided the City would give a like amount from the General Fund. He stated the total program, over a three-year period, would cost $30,000. Mr. Taylor said the Lions Club would spend a considerable amount on standardizing the fields, with the anticipation that San Marcos could attract national play-offs and tournaments. Councilman Smith moved that the City designate $5,000 from the General Fund each year for three years, to supplement an equal amount from the Parks & Recreation budget over the same period, for installation of adequate lighting on the Little League ball fields in City Park. Councilman Pool seconded the motion and on roll call, the following vote was recorded: I AYE: Craddock, Dannelley, Flores, Pool, Serur, Smith, Zavesky NAY: None The Mayor declared the motion carried. Dr. Craddock enquired whether any of the remaining funds from the Parks & Recreation budget would be used to assist in the development of the proposed recreation area being sponsored by Bridgebuilders. Mr. Taylor assured the Council that Bridgebuilders' , project on the old Dunbar School property would be assisted with Parks & Recreation budgeted ,funds. I Herbert Yarbrough, Secretary and Coordinator of the Lions Club Little League program, thanked the Council for their cooperation and assistance in plans to bring the ball fields up to state and national standards. David Pool appeared before the Council with a petition from a group of Hays County citizens living in the area of Lime Kiln Road and Hunters' Glen. The petition, signed by twenty-seven persons, was read aloud by the Mayor, see attached. Assistance and cooperation of the City was requested in prevention of littering on Lime Kiln Road. Mr. Pool explained that a similar, petition had been sent to Hays County Commissioners Court, since Lime Kiln Road is out o~ ~heCity Limits, and enforce- ment of the State's anti-littering law would be the res~onsibilityof the County. The petitioners asked that the eity make a higher charge for trash trans- ported to the City Dump in an uncovered vehicle, and that the City and County assume joint responsibility for keeping Lime ,Kiln Road clean. Councilman Flores I enquired whether the petitioners had contacted the public school officials in regard to violations of the anti-littering law, since he knew the school does not use covered trucks for taking trash to the Dump. Councilman Dan~elley moved that a study be made of the ~rash problem on Lime Kiln Road. Dr. Craddock seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
