Sloan Citizens State Bank Georgetown, Texas Dear Jay: The Georgetown Citizens Advisory Committee met Thursday niRlht., Feb- ruary 1, in what, has proved to be one of our most, profitable sessions. While the attendance was small, the participation was active, and the decisions were several. Our basic topic was Qeorgetown utilities, as these relate to future expansion, present needs, and lone range prospects for ant.icinated population growth. But since our function is "advisory", we tend to ramble, let our imagination loose, and think as creatively and con- structively as pocyihle. Our general conclusion is that our City Manager and Engineering Consultants have done a good ,job of meetin(- our needs, and have projected soundly for the next decade or two. Please convey this positive evaluation to the City Council for us. In addition, we have these specific recommendations: 1. That the Utilities Department give serious consideration to under- ground snpnly of wiring to new construction, with an eye to ,reneral beautification. 2. That, as changes occur (remodeling, renovation, etc.) around the square, we give serious consideration to moving* electric service from the front to the rear of Lu►i ldings involved. By so doing, Costs can be spread over the years, and related to specific 1rojects. 3. That the results of the "llome itule Committee now in the files of the City Manager he reviewed to determine the approprint.Pness of this action at the earliest possible advisable date. This came up in connection with nuestions regarding the pros and cons of annexation of outlaying properties, and our concern for proper zoning of same. e 6 4. That serious, immediate consideration he given city purchase of the Fletcher property adjoining the present City Hall complex and facing on Austin Avenue, to secure future expansion ;pace for city facilities. It was pointed out to its that a most favorable arrangement. can be made. for such a purchase. ' At our next. meeting in April we will begin a more detaild study of development of the North Gabriel Lake, in hopes that we can move toward maximum economic development of this facility. Respectfully yours, Wallnee Chappell, Chairman Citizens Advisory Committee Wesleyan Mayor read letter from Wesleyan Home as to their progress and stating that. they appreciated cooperation of the City. Municipal Mayor reviewed report made by Texas Municipal Advisory fonnc.il Advisory of Texas in ref"Prence to our financial standing as it pertains to city bonds issued or will he issued in' the future.
