of the Police.Department.
Ordinance - Agreement for Installation Traffic Signal - Spur 330 and Bavwav Drive
.The Council discussed the contents of an agreement with the State Highway De-
partment for the installation of a three -dial, fixed -time, interconnected and coordinated
traffic signal at the intersection of Spur 330 and Bayway Drive. The agreement provided
that the City will operate and maintain the traffic light after its installation;'
will pay all power costs; will obtain written approval before making changes in the
design of operation; will return any and all parts should the signal be removed; and,
will be responsible for the police enforcement required for securing obedience to
the highway traffic signals. Such an agreement required the passage of an ordinance
to be transmitted to the State of Texas for appropriate action. Presently this inter-
section is a bottleneck in traffic movement during peak periods of the day. Council-
man Massey suggested that the Administration negotiate with the State for installation
of an actuary traffic signal rather than the proposed three -dial, fixed time traffic
signal. He was instructed to inform the State Highway District Engineer that the
Council was in agreement with all provisions of the instrument but preferred the origi-
nal traffic signal installation to be an actuary type rather than the type set for t in
the instrument. The Council.deferred action upon the proposed ordinance until the City
Manager has submitted the Council's request to the State Highway District Engineer.

Discuss - Comprehensive Plan Prepared Bernard Johnson Engineers
City Manager Lanham asked the Council for its feelings relative to the Comprehen-
sive Plan prepared by Bernard Johnson Engineers of Houston. The Company, which had
been retained by a previous Council, had completed its study and submitted its final
report several weeks ago. Some of the recommendations of the comprehensive plan
are in the process of being implemented and others are now under study but no formal
action has been taken by the Council relative to the plan. Mr. Lanham found in checking
with other cities, that some City Councils have adopted the comprehensive as a general
guide, while others have adopted the plan with certain exceptions. A majority of the
Council gave expression of favoring the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan as a guide
only, so that maximum use may be had of the detailed plan but no formal action was .
taken at this time as the new council members had not made a study of the plan and were
not familiar with its projected proposals. The Council will take formal action upon
the Plan at the next regular meeting.
Councilman Braswell expressed some concern regarding the downtown business area
and the laxity of the group which is presently making a study of the district in relation
to the Comprehensive plan. In his opinion, the Council will soon be faced with the
traffic and parking ills and suggested getting some expression from the group upon
.which way they wanthe Council to proceed in relation to the traffic pattern for the
downtown area.

Repairs of Storm Sewer in Country Club Oaks
Jack Morton, Director of Public Works, submitted an estimate of $8,000.00 as cost
for making necessary repairs to storm sewers in ,Country Club Oaks where head walls
have given. away, erosion is prevalent where the storm sewers empty into Goose Creek
Stream and the pipe has separated and washed away ,completely. If city forces are
used in the repair project, he recommended the three major repairs be made in this year's
budget. Should the Council choose to go out for bids. it would be more economical for
the entire project to be considered, funds to be taken from Capital Street & Drainage
Budgeted allocation. Councilman Fanestiel moved to instruct the City Engineer to
prepare plans and specifications and advertise for bids on the repair of :the five
(5) storm sewer projects. Councilman Donnelly seconded the motion. The vote follows: ..
Ayes: Councilmen Ball, Massey, Hullum, Braswell, Fanestiel and Donnelly.
Nays: Mayor Cravey
Ordinance - Prohibiting Dumping of Dirt or Mud - Public Streets
The Council discussed the draft of an ordinance making it unlawful for persons
operating any motor vehicle upon the public streets to leave, deposit, drop or other-
wise place dirt, mud, sand, gravel, concrete or other building and construction materials
on city's streets and rights -of -way. It was suggested that possibly the City's
litter ordinance would cover the violation and it could be used as a means of enforcement.
It was suggested, also, that an amendment be made to the Litter Ordinance to include
the specific items of material included in the draft; copies of the ordinance be furnished
the Buidling Permit personnel for distribution to contractors, etc. The assistance of
the Police Department in watching for violators will be solicited, also. The City Manager
recommended, however, that any violation of this type should be covered under a sepazate
ordinance as this is not generally thought of as littering. Councilman Fanestiel then
moved to adopt the proposed ordinance with an amendment to include all debris as well
as building mateiials, dirt, mud, etc. Councilman Donnelly seconded the motion. The
vote follows:
Ayes: Councilmen Ball, Massey, Hullum, Fanestiel and Donnelly.

relative to the estimate of cost for developing a plan from three sites selected by the

City Manager's Report
Mr. Lanham reviewed the need for maps to be made for use in the Tax Department
as well as other departments of the City. Recently he has received a proposal from
Guy Holman, Instructor in Engineering Drawing at Lee College, on a per sheet basis
of $11.50 per page, with an estimate of 445 sheets. This will be done on a part -time
basis with the assistance of another teacher at Lee College and his estimated time
for completion on this basis was eighteen monde. It was the opinion of the City ,Manger
that the per page basis was more economical than the former per hour or per day proposals
which projected the cost to a $20,000 figure. Too, money is now in the budget for
this expenditure, should the Council approve the per sheet proposal. The Council suggested
using the school maps or Sanborn maps which are available at a lower cost. The sheet map
drawings would be made on linen, would be reproducible and would be the property of the
City. The Council was in agreement as to the need for adequate maps, but formal action
upon the proposal was deferred until the next regular meeting in order for the City Manager
to get the school administration's reaction to a joint effort proposal; also, maps available
from the Sanborn Map Company.

all expenses of travel and other incidentals incurred in the normal course of duties.

adjourned.
