Allen presiding. I Present: Mayor C. M. Allen Alderman B. D. Hillburn Herman Korff Kenneth Sutton J. E. Younger, Jr. City Manager B. R. Fuller Absent: Alderman Reuben Ruiz The Mayor explained that the meeting had been called as a result of a conference between the City Manager and Mr. Travis Long, Expressway Engineer for District 14 of the Texas Highway Department, in which Mr. Long had explained to the City Manager that there was a possibility that the City would be assessed for a portion of the drainage cost for storm and surface drainage on that portion of the City which drained toward the expressway and was 150 feet behind the right of way line. I The matter was thoroughly explained by the City Manager and the members of the Council carefully considered the problem from all possible implications. It was the opinion of the Council that this matter should have been decided when the improvements to Inter- state 35 were being considered and during the public hearings. Alderman Sutton introduced a resolution and moved that it be app- proved and a copy sent to the Highway Department. The motion of adoption was seconded by Alderman Korff and upon roll call the ayes and nays were: Ayes: Allen, Hillburn, Korff, Sutton and Younger. Whereupon Mayor Allen declared the Resolution passed and approved and directed the City Manager to forward it with a covering letter from the Mayor to the Hiway Department. The City Manager presented the figures for doing the work at the Federal Building discussed at previous meetings. The work consisted of a curbing along the east side of Fredericksburg Street, repairs to the street damage as a result of the water being discharged from the Federal Building drain and the necessary piping to carry the discharged water under ground to the river. The City Manager's estimate for the total work was 13,493.36 as of the 3rd day of October, 1961. It is assumed that there will be additional street damage as long as the condition continues to exist. Upon motion of Alderman Sutton, seconded by Alderman Korff and approved unaminously, the City Manager's estimate was accepted and order forwarded to the General Service Representative for immediate action. Congressional representatives to be notified if there was not action taken by GSA. I The City Manager explained to the Council the need for additional space and presented a plan for revising the office area utilizing the apartment over the office space for a portion of the work and also as a storage area. The matter was thoroughly consi- dered by the Council and unaminously approved with a budget appro- priation from the Unappropriated Surplus in the Budget in the amount of $1,000.00 There being no further business, the Council, on Motion, adjourned at 9:10 A.M. ?
