The meeting was called to order at 7 o'clock P.M. in the College Station City Hall.
Mayor Anderson asked the City's Financial Advisor, Davis McGill, for his presentation
of Ordinance No. 553. Mr. McGill read the ordinance that called for a bond election
on February 3, 1965. The four propositions stated in the ordinance included:
(1) shall the city be authorized to issue $200,000 in bonds for a city hall building;
(2) shall the city be authorized to issue $140,000 in bonds for a Fire Station -
Police Headquarters building; (3) shall the city be authorized to issue $400,00
in bonds for the purpose of purchasing rights-of-way for State Highway No. 6 by-pass,
including two interchanges and for the extension of University Drive from State
Highway No. 6 to the proposed interchange on State Highway No. 6 by-pass; and
(4) shall the city be authorized to issue $100,000 in bonds for the purpose of
constructing and improving the roads, bridges, and streets of said city, to wit:
the street known as 1129th" Street from the present city limits of said city to
Ashburn Avenue and the "County Road" from Glade Street to State Highway No. 6, and
the purchase of the necessary rights-of-way. The ordinance spelled out that all
four propositions are to mature serially within 40 years from their date or dates,
and bear interest at a rate or rates not exceeding 6% per annum.
On motion by Councilman Boyett, seconded by Councilman Holt, Ordinance No. 553
passed unanimously.
Discussed by the council was the nature of a ballot to obtain the sentiment of the
public as it related to the location of the city hall and fire station -police
headquarters building. The financial advisor was to word the trial ballot in
keeping with expressions made. Also, two locations were to be placed on such,
representing (1) the land owned by the city along State Highway No. 6, between
Francis and Gilchrist, across from the University campus and (2) on the property
owned by the city along State Highway No. 6 and Spring Green Street.
Fire Chief Woody Sevison spoke to the council relative to plans of A&M University
with respect to the fire station and fire equipment. He indicated that plans were
to close down the University fire station if and when the city acquired a fire
station, and the likelihood of the city acquiring fire equipment from the University
(Fireman's Training School) except for short periods of the year when otherwise
needed by the University.
Councilman Adams asked that consideration be given to have mayor arrange a
meeting with the A&M School Board.
