<br />67 <br /> <br />SPECIAL MECtIN3 HElD ON AOOUST 4. 1959 <br /> <br />On the 4th day of August, 1959, at 2100 P.M., the Governing Body of the <br />City of San Marcos met in special session, Mayor C. M. Allen presiding! <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Present! Mayor C. M. Allen <br />Aldermen! S. R. Beecroft <br />B. D. I-lillburn <br />HeIman Korff <br />James Tuttle <br />City Mana,er B. R. Fuller <br />Deputy City Secretary Joann Hayes <br />Guests! Walter Buckner <br />Ernest Morgan <br />Bob Thornton <br />Absent: Alderman W. M. Davis <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Mayor Allen stated the guests present had been invited to attend the <br />meeting and to discuss with the Council members possible plans of action the <br />City might pursue with respect to reactivation or use of the facilities at <br />Camp Gary. After considerable discussion the Council members agreed that the <br />City should seek the advice of their Congressional Representatives and express <br />to them the City's interest in the reactivation of the Camp Gary facilities and <br />their future use in the defense effort. <br />City Manager Fuller told the Council that Invitations to Bid on a new car <br />for the Police Department had been distributed and pUblished, but were recalled <br />when a dealer complained that the specifications drawn up by the City for this <br />vehicle excluded his company's product. He noted that several courses of action <br />were now left open for the City! (a) to reopen the bids with the specifications <br />changed, (b) to take bids on a "police special," (c) to repair and use the car <br />now owned by the City, (d) to bid on a station wagon which is to be sold at <br />Camp Gary. A comparative tabulation of the repair expenses on the cars in use <br />by the Police Department for the past year was presented for the Council's <br />consideration. After a discussion of the relatively low operating expense of <br />the "police special" now in use, the Council agreed to take bids on a "police <br />special." The 1957 Plymouth now owned by the City is to be repaired for the <br />City Manager's use until another car is obtained. <br /> <br />The City Manager read a letter received from the Fire Insurance Commission <br />with reference to the moving of the fire plug in front of Mr. Crowell's place <br />of business OD the west side of the Square. This letter stated that the removal <br />of this fire plug will not affect the City's fire insurance key rate as it now <br />is computed. The Council directed that City Manager Fuller be authorized to <br />make an agreement with Mr. Crowell stating, in effect, that the City would remove <br />this fire plug providing Mr. Crowell would reimburse the City for the expense <br />of the removal and provided the plug would be replaced at Mr. Crowell's expense <br />if its absence ever jeopardized the City's key rate. <br /> <br />City Manager Fuller read a letter received by the City from William J. <br />Graham & Son, Inc. stating that the reciprocal fire fighting agreement between <br />Graham and the City would be terminated as of August 31, 1959. After some <br />discussion the Council agreed that Mayor Allen be authorized to execute a recip- <br />rocal aid fire fighting agreement with the U.S. Army at camp Gary in lieu of <br />the prev~ous one with Wm. J. Graham & Son, Inc. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />There being no further business, on motion made and seconded, the meeting <br />was adjourned. <br /> <br />'(\, ~)\ /I I I <br />'-- ~'- .l.( C <br />C.
