CITIZEN INPUT/INQUIRY
Dr. Lukaszewski. He stated that the citizens of Forest Hills are anxious about what is happening to their subdivision.
The citizens have four basic objectives -- 1) safety, 2) pollution and noise nuisance, 3) physical environment and 4) property values

on these four objectives.
Mrs. Mooney. Mrs. Mooney stated that she has a petition with 51 signatures requesting a stop sign on Eastham at
Elmwood. She stated that Eastham has become a speedway and there is some prohibited truck traffic using Eastham from the
service road to Highway 75 North. Mrs. Mooney asked City Council to consider the citizens request for stop signs along Eastham.
Mayor Hodges stated that he would defer the stop sign issue to staff for recommendations, amd would have the Police
Chief place extra patrol along Eastham to enforce the speed limit and truck route laws.
Michael King. Mr. King stated that he is a student at Sam Houston State University and a member of the ROTC
program. Because of his dedication and love of our country, he has a hard time understanding that all Americans are not morally '
committed to protecting and preserving the beauty and quality of life for ourselves and future generations. Mr. King stated that
he was disturbed that the City of Huntsville offers almost no protection from the sensitive commercial development, and the
policies of the City are threatening the quality of life in Huntsville. He feels that economic development can come without
environmental devastation.

citizens, and park development has been substantial in the last few years.

Schindler went to a workshop in Odessa for training on Teen Court. Municipal Court then began a program for Young Adult
and Teen Court Persons 20 years old and younger and are first time offenders have the opportunity to go to Young Adult Court.
High School age students participate in Teen Court. Full time practicing attorneys serve as the judges and the young people serve
as the lawyers in the proceedings. Training sessions have been held for the 'lawyers ". Jurors are college and high school students.
The sentences in the Young Adult Court are 10 -70 hours of community service and one to four future juries, written punishment
(essay), or attendance at a course (alcohol awareness, etc.). Guilt or innocence is not an issue - only those pleading guilty are '-
involved in the program. The general philosophy of the program is to empower young people to make decisions about others.
The jury service is as important as the community service and other punishments. -
Eventually this program will not be a City of Huntsville program, but a community program. The Business and
Professional Women have volunteers who help with the program. A lot of support has been given by J. D. Schindler, Pat Graham,
and the lawyers who are serving as judges. Those helping with the program feel that it is having a positive impact on these high

are distinguishable such as bluebonnets, but other are not as identifiable. Mr. Pipes stated that the City crews mow only one pass
adjacent to the City streets and are instructed to not mow patches of wildflowers. Councilmember Green stated that he

wide pass on the right -of -ways is mowed. Councilmember Lange emphasized that the City does not mow the Interstate corridor

generation.
The historical events that have been (and continue to be) held in the Huntsville Public Library over the intervening years
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 6, 1993
BOOK "R"
187
i are testament to the visionary leadership of the era of the early 1960's.
1 We must now summon the courage, vision and ideals of our predecessors and move forward with our own plans for a
!i new center of culture for our community. Ours is not a spur of the moment flash of conscience. We have been researching,
lplanning, discussing and refining this project for over ten years. Deliberate, measured action has been taking place for the past
'L three years and specific tasks have been accomplished and publicly reported on for the last two. We have held extended review
:I and comment -input sessions with citizen groups and we've even held a concentrated two day event in October 1992 with the staff
f of the architectural firm P.G.A.L. to define issues. The plans and ideals that have evolved are the cornerstone element of the 2020
fCultural Plan. Yes, many of the recommendations of the Cultural Plan can be implemented without new facilities, but not nearly
'.� as effectively.
Government's basic role is to provide those things that private individuals or groups cannot accomplish alone. The City
� provides streets, utilities and parks because even collectively, volunteer private interests would find such [asks impossible.
Traditionally, Huntsville has provided such facilities (and basic staff) for such activities and stepped back to le[ the volunteers and
i� groups carry out the programs. This is what has kept our tar rate so low and this is the theme and spirit of the Cultural Plans'
call for private endowment efforts and continued participation by the citizens in the cultural arena. The vision of a heritage park
as a repository for historical buildings wrapping around the planned Cultural Center facility adjoining Eastham- Thomason Park
i'. and crowned by a look -out vista among the old oaks on top of 7th Street hill is just the sort of visionary planning that would
inspire the entire spectrum of our community's diverse cultures to become partners in a generational investment in basic facilities
We must not shirk this responsibility/opportunity and extinguish the spirit of legacy given to us by our "Friends."
The City has private gifts and property pledged to such a project of approximately $250,000 from the W. S. Gibbs Estate
Trust. We already have the Eas[ham- Thomason Park (donated 34 acres) project underway with a matching Parks and Wildlife
�'.'.. development grant of $125,000. An additional grant from the Texas Library Foundation of $200,000 is expected when a
commitment to the Library is forthcoming. The City has earmarked $72,500 in local funds to purchase an adjacent 25 acre parcel
�! from the F.D.LC The sum total of grants, gifts and property already in place for the project is approximately $775,000. This
t "seed" money is a great star[ to a carefully conceived plan that the citizens will now also endorse.
P.G.A.L. architects have estimated the cost of the proposed 18,000 square foot Library, a 10,000 square foot area
meeting room, exhibit and activity center and a 300 seat performance-lecture facility will cost $3.7 million to construct. This
'. investment in the future of our community is a project that the citizens will strongly support because it is an investment in our
youth and ourselves. Huntsville's community pride always arises to meet a challenge. We don't want a second rate library nor
do we want to continue to rely on others (a generation later) for what we recognized long ago as an imposition.
The City has reduced or maintained a static ad valorem tax rate for over ten years. We have already refinanced our
outstanding ]sigh interest debt and offset expenses to maintain a $3844 per $100 assessed valuation for six consecutive years. A
more positive economic picture is emerging now with new commercial projects in the offing and regional jail facility underway that
will yield hundreds of new jobs. A new day is dawning and now is the time for us to invest in our communities basic facilities in
order to catch the wave of growth, prosperity and progress at the lowest interest rates in decades. The expected $.07 ad valorem
'i tax rate increase for debt service retirement will still position the City as the lowest tax bargain among the local taxing jurisdictions.
This is a win, win, win, win scenerio for our citizens.
We respectfully solicit City Council's full and unqualified support of a June 19, 1993 general obligation bond referendum
election date and authorization to proceed as necessary to formally call such at the Council meeting of April 20, 1993. Your
favorable action on this matter will be appreciated by citizens for years to come"
Councilmember Gaines made the motion to solicit City Council's full and unqualified support of a June 19, 1993 general
obligation bond referendum election date and authorization to proceed as necessary to formally call such at the Council meeting
S of April 20 1993 and Councilmember Matthews seconded the motion.
Mayor Hodges thanked Councilmember; Gaines and Lange for their extensive work on this project, and expressed his
support of the project.
Councilmember Luning stated that he felt this was a positive move for the City economically, culturally and educationally,
and supports the project. He has been checking with his constituents on their support and is finding some opposition.
' Councilmember Luning asked about the cost of the election and staff responded that the election will cost approximately $2,000
5 to $3,000.
Councilmember Davis stated that he feels this project benefits the entire community.
Councilmember Matthews stated that she feels it is up to Council to inform their constituents of the project and ask for
''. their support.
Councilmember Carter asked about the cost of operation after the building is complete. Councilmember Gaines stated
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 6 1993 BOOK R 188
that the utilities may cost less at the new facility than at the current Library, but that there is no way to calculate those fi gures _
at this time. Mayor Hodges stated that the Library will not require additional staffing at the new facility. Mayor Hodges also
stated that two of the buildings could be rented out and earn revenues.
Councilmember Carter stated he would oppose the referendum until furnished with final costs on operation of the
building.
Councilmember Luning asked if furnishings were considered in the bond issue. Councilmember Gaines stated that
- tire furnishings are not included, but the current furnishings in the Library would be moved. There are several gifts and grants
that could be used for furnishings.

MEDIA INQUIRIES i!
Wayne Sorge asked about the legality of Pokie's Town Club selling cups and then giving away beer to avoid a liquor it
license, and the issue of the building being close to a Church. Mr. Bounds stated that he has discussed the matter with the
T.A.B.C. in regard to the location being within 300 feet of a Church and it is the tentative decision of T.A.B_C. that it is within
the 300 feet range. Mr. Bounds also stated that if there is some subterfuge to avoid a permit, the matter would be discussed with i
the T.A.B.C.
