Mayor Anderson opened the Council Meeting at 7:00 p. m. in the Council Room
of the City Hall in College Station.
Mayor. Anderson stated that Councilman McGraw had to be out of town and would
like to have an excused absence from this particular council meeting. The Council con-
curred in granting an excused absence for Councilman McGraw.
Mayor Anderson briefly explained the proposed 1970-71 Fiscal Year Budget for
the City. He stated that this year's budget was one of the tightest ones that the city had
had. He briefly itemized some of the budget items for the benefit of citizens present.
The total amount of the proposed budget is $1, 591, 900. 00.
A Brazos County Counseling Service representative, Rev. Pry, asked whether
the Counseling Service had been granted their proposed request, which was $10, 000.
Mayor Anderson explained that the Council had discussed this item at length and with
so many other expenses the city was faced with in this fiscal year, they did not feel
they could increase the amount to the Counseling Service. The Counseling Service
will still receive $8, 500 per year from the City of College Station. Mayor Anderson
further explained, however, as did Councilman Ransdell, that this was no reflection
on the Counseling Service's fine record of service to the community.
On motion by Councilman Davis, seconded by Councilman Ryan, Ordinance
No. 688, an ordinance levying taxes for the use and support of the municipal government
of the City of College Station and providing for the interest and sinking fund for the year
1970-71 and apportioning each levy for the specific purpose, was approved. Motion was
carried.
On motion by Councilman Ryan, seconded by Councilman Ransdell, Ordinance
No. 689, an ordinance adopting a budget for the year 1970-71 fiscal year and authorizing
expenditures as therein provided was approved. Motion carried.
There being no further business, Councilman Cooley moved for adjournment of
the meeting, subject to call. Motion was seconded by Councilman Davis. Motion carried.
