Mr. J. W. Teague of 3917 Amherst appeared and made inquiry relative to what action, if any, the City intends to take relative to increasing the capacity of water flow under University and McFarlin Boulevards. It was his feeling that if floods occur again that the storm sewer now being installed between Lovers Lane and Bryn Mawr Drive would be of no value because the water would back up to that area thus defeating the purpose for which the storm sewer is created. Mrs. Tom Beaty of 3915 Bryn Mawr Drive, Mrs.!'4~lewton Hammer of 3909 Bryn Mawr Drive and Mrs. Walter B. Parker of 3300 Caruth also appeared requesting information about the storm sewer.

Stubblefield, 4037 Druid Lane and Richard E. Gray, 6518 Hunters Glen Road. They came forward and stated they were interested in the City refusing to change the zoning any where in University Park and were particularly interested in Lot t of Block 12, Troth's Subdivison University Park Estates Addition, remaining a single family home; also they were interested in what action, if any, the City Commission proposed to take in regard to the recent application of Sam Leake and others recently passed on by the Zoning Commission. Mr. A. ti. Bell of 4041 Glenwick Lane addressed the Commission stating that as a home owner in that location he would much prefer that a duplex be put on the lot in question than for the lot to remain unimproved. After due consideration, a motion was made by Commissioner Germany, and carried that the recommend- ation made by the Zoning Commission as of March 27, 1967, that the appeal of Mr. Sam Leake and others that the Zoning of the south one-half of Block 1 and 2, Idlewild Addition hot be changed but remain a "B" single family home area, concured in and approved. A motion was then made by Commissioner Germany, and carried that the recommendation of the Zoning Commission as of March 27, 1967 that the zoning of Lot 1, Block 12, Troth's Subdivicion University Park Estates Additon be changed from "A" Single Family Home to "C" Duplex Area be taken under advisement and that no action be taken at this time.

ONE-HALF OF THE $40,000.00 WILL BE CREDITED TO THE WATER FUND AND ONE-HALF TO THE GENERAL FUND. A motion was made by Commissioner Germany, and carried that the City Clerk be authorized to determine the average monthly water bill paid by Mrs. Arthur C. Bosworth of 3624 University boulevard and that she be charged this amount plus 1/2 the iiifference between the average bill and the $49.00 bill she received March 31. Mrs. Bosworth had written a long letter explaining that an underground leak recently discovered accounted for the large bill. The Commission took under advisement the request of Mrs. 'Robert W. Stephens of 3617 Granada Avenue that she be paid $6.50 the cost of repairing the exhaust pipe on her car which was damaged recently on Boedecker Street. The Commission discussed a petition recently filed with the City by Mrs. W. II. Trimble of 4404 Emerson Street relative to drainage problems in this block. The City Clerk was requested to immediately proceed with discussions with City Manager Scott McDonald of Dallas, relative to the paving of Loma Alto Drive from Emerson Street north to Lovers Lane. It is felt that this improvement will assist in the drainage problem facing the people in this area. The City Clerk presented a petition signed by the members of the Police Department setting out that they "Are ready to take the necessary steps to refrain from putting any more money into a program that is not satisfactory Dr adequate for this City's Police Department". This statement is made relative to benefits under the Texas Municipal Retirement System. The City Clerk furnished the Commission with the following information. The Employees of the Police Department pay 5% on $3,600. salary or $180. per year. The City pays 2. 1% on the respective $3,600. or $75.60 for each employee; total for each employee $255.60 All other employees except firemen ~ay 5% on $3,600, or $180. each. The City pays 5% on $3,600 for each employee, $180., total for each employee $360. 10 All Firemen pay 6% of total compensation received, this amount is matched from the City Treasurer thus making a total of 12 % annually paid into their retirement system. It will be noted that the firemen are contributing considerably more in behalf of their retirement fund than the police. The following is an example based on the minimum salary of $500.00 per month. The Police fund receives $225.60. The firemen fund receives $720.00. City Clerk Hamman stated that it is his interpretation of the statutes that in his opinion "{C) A municipality which once elects to participate in the System may refuse to add new departments or new employees but shall never discontinue as to any members." quoted from The Texas Municipal Retirement Act, Including 1965 Amendments, a department could not withdraw. Chief Keene stated that he felt this statement was in error because he knew of municipalities that have withdrawn. Commissioner Germany and Mayor Coffee requested City Attorney Dick P. Wood to check the statutes for the purpose of determining if it will be possible for the police department of this City to withdraw from The Texas Municipal Retirement System. No other action was taken on the problem at hand however it was suggested that the Members of the l~olice Department give special consideration to increasing their participation in the Fund which, of course, would be matched by funds from the City Treasurer. A motion was made by Commissioner Germany, and carried that Chief Keene be authorized to attend the Texas Police Regional Conference in Sweet- water, Texas on April 10, 1967 at the expense of the City.

Mr. A1 Hester of 3040 Fondren Drive addressed the Mayor ~tating that he would try to act as spokesman and that the purpose of his and the others attending the Commission Meeting was to discuss with the Commission the establishment by Southern Methodist University of a parking lot on the south one-half of Block 2 of University Court Addition. Mr. Hester stated that they did not desire the protesting of the creating of the parking lot but they would appreciate the City Officials joining with the neighboring property owners in an effort to induce Southern Methodist University to beauti~ the lot or rather make it as attractive as possible so that it will not depreciate the value of ~eighboring property. Some of those present pointed out that the hard sufrace parking lot will result in a greater flood condition and that there will be more Rater running down the alley toward Airline Road then there has been from the unimproved lots. Mr. Kirven, City Engineer, explained that this problem has been discussed with the engineers representing Southern Methodist University and he felt in the due course of time this excess of rain waters can be channeled into a storm sewer under Airline Road. Miss Ima Herrin, one of the owners of a residence at 3001 University Boulevard, suggested that a masonry wall be constructed along the east and west property lines from the alley to a point north which would represent the building line of the residents on University Boulevard. Mr. Joe Sherman, Director of Public Relations, Southern Methodist University, appeared and stated that certainly the University has no desire to do anything that would depreciate the value of the homes in the area and that it is his understanding 43¸ that they had planned to construct a chain link fence along the east and west property lines and that he would discuss with the officals of Southern Methodist University the desire of the neighbors that a masonry wall be substituted for a fence and that such a wall not extend toward University Boulevard any further than the building line of the residents facing that street. Mr. Sherman stated that he personally would be glad to work with Mr. Hester and the other property owners in an effort to obtain a development that will be satisfactory to all concerned. The City Clerk exhibited a letter from Dick P. Wood, Jr. , Assistant City Attorney, setting out that he did not find any conflicting statutes relative to the abandoning of a part of the alley through Block 1Z, University Park Addition; therefore, a motion was made by Mr. Sullivan, seconded by the Mayor, put to vote and carried unanimously that the following Ordinance be adopted.

Mrs. R. S. Gozzaldi of 2.945 University Boulevard addressed the Commission reading from the Zoning Ordinance pointing out that in her opinion the City had acted illegally in granting permission for this parking lot and that the application should have gon'e to the Board .of Adjustment and that they should have held a public hearing prior to the time the permit was issued. It was explained that Southern Methodist University had been permitted to construct a parking lot at the corner of McFarlin Boulevard and Airline Road and that the following churches had constructed parking lots: Church of Christ--Preston Road and McFarlin Boulevard Lutheran Church--Corner of Lovers Lane and Dublin Street Baptist Church--Corner of Tulane and Northwest Parkway Episcopal Church--corner of Westminister and Central Expressway and that none of these applications were acted on by tlae Board of Adjustment but permits had been issued by the City on the premise that such parking lots were authorized under Paragraph 5, Section V of the Zoning Ordinance; also that Paragraph C of Section VII of the Zoning Ordinance requires that an institution or private school or public auditorium of any character shall provide a parking space sufficient io accommodate one motor vehicle by each ten persons measured by the seating capacity of the main building.

It is now estimated that it will take an additional 3, 300 square ~rards of sod to place parkways in their original condition. The contract calls for a fixed price of 50 cents per square yard. The question was shall the City instruct Austin Paving Company to proceed at this time or should we accept credit for 700 ya~s included in the contract and the City take over the responsibility of replacing the sod. After due consideration it appeared to be the unanimous opinion that the City should undertake the re-soding of these parkways by our Park Department.

Doctor Richard Rubottom, Jr., Vice President of Southern Methodist University, protested that in view of the fact aht Soathern Methodist University owns all the land in the north half of Blocks 2 and 3 of East University Place Addition and the farther fact that the future development of this un- improved area has not been determined, it was the feeling of the officials of Southern Methodist University that it may be a waste of money to pave Boedeker Street at this time from the alley soath of Yale to Yale Boulevard.

Knight, owner of Lot 1, Blcok B, Dan 1Ko Addition (Z853 Fondren Drive) felt that the cost of the proposed improvement is excessive and that the City should bear a larger participation. Mr. A. tK. Hagler, owner of Lot Z4, Block 6, University Court Addition {Z900 McFarlin Boulevard) stated that he would appreciate the City reducing the amount of the assessment and absorbing more of the cost than proposed. He stated however that in his judgment the overall cost is not excessive and is in keeping with present day construction prices. Doctor Fred W. Bryson, owner of Lot 24, Block 3, University Court Addition, {Z900 Fondren Drive) rotated that his property is owned for revenue purposes and he feels that he may experience a difficulty in obtainign a fair return from same when the cost of the proposed improvement is added to the cost of the property and that he was hopeful that the amount of the assessment could be reduced. 178 A Mr. Geilow, an attorney, stated that he represented Mr. George S. Gee, Jr., owner of Lot 11, Block 4, Summitt Lawn Addition (2836 Rosedale Avenue) stated that in his judgment ~nd that of his client that the proposed assessment is excessive and the cost of the pavem, ent will not enhance the value of the property as much as the assessment will cost. l~lr. Linnwood Griffin, Jr., owner of Lot 1, Block 4, Summitt Lawn Addition (Z837 Milton Avenue) was represented by his b~r Mr. L. F. Griffin. He stated that although the street needed improving it was his feeling that the valu of the property will not be enhanced as much as the cost of the assessment. Mr. D. W. Smith, Owner of Lot 11, Block 8, Westminister Place Addition IZ901 Milton Avenue) stated he doubts that the value of his home will be enhanced as much as the cost of the improvement.

City Attorney Wood explained that the alderman form of governments is described in Chapters One through Eleven of Title 28 of the General Laws of Texas and calls for the election of a mayor and five aldermen. The Commission Form of Government is described in Chapter Twelve and gives the Commissioners all the powers and rights set forth in Chapters One through Eleven and the governing body shall consist of a mayor and two commissioners.

CITY MANAGER ZCI~ERK Copy NoV. 8, 1971 November 1, 1971 Ladies and Gentlemen Our Girl Scout Troop 641 is being represented tonight by myself, Jean Barrier, Lee Brown and Jenny Wise to present our riews on pollution in Curtis Park. Now we know you get awfully tired of hearing about pollution, but we think we have some solutions tonight. First of all, take the land on Curtis Park grounds. It has a lot of trash, but that can be taken care of if we all work together. It is said that there is strength in numbers. So if we all clean up the park, then keep it that way, we'll have a chance. Our troop is going to slean up this park. All we ask is that we can have some support from you by letting us put up 4 or 5 signs by the trash cans about pollution. We think it will help and are ready to try. The messiest thing is really the water. It it weren't still, it would probably be a lot cleaner. We saw the filter on the section of the pond with the bridge over it. There was a tremendous amount of improvement inthe cleanliness, of the water. If it is money needed to buy the filter or fence-like thing in the water, then our troop could go over into Snider Plaza and collect contributions from people with your permission. If these things we've said tonight can be called solutions, maybe we could see some action take place. We're ready to do our part.
