ROLL CALL
Councilmen Present: Nagel, Rockhold, Stephens,
Van Vranken and Mayor Balmer;
Councilmen Absent: None.
City Manager Jones reported that the revised Civic Center Master
Plan B had been received from the architect, Marion J. Varner and Asso-
ciates. Stated the changes in the plan generally included repositioning the
police building to give more room at the rear for parking; eliminating the
hand ball court and rear access ramp to the Fire Station; revisions to the
parking arrangement and new cost estimates.
Mr. Keller, architect, explained the changes and answered Council's
questions regarding further revisions to the Plan. Stated that when the Site
Plan is approved, the architects will then move forward with the interior
design of the buildings.
After discussing Plan A and Plan B, motion was made by Council-
man Nagel, seconded by Councilman Rockhold, that the concept of Plan B
be adopted; that the design of the parking structure be delayed; and that
the project be phased in such a way that the parking structure would be
constructed last.
Mr. Ben Cole, president of the Chamber of Commerce stated
that he was more receptive to Plan B than Plan A; that there were problems
with underground parking structures. Suggested moving the Police building
back and reducing the size of the large mall area for needed parking.
Mr. Ed. Erdely, inquired about the financing of the project and
stated he thought it was not a good idea to erect a parking structure when
land was available across the street.
There being no further discussion, the Mayor announced there was
a motion on the floor. On roll call, said motion carried by the following
vote:
Ayes: Councilmen Naget, Rockhold, Stephens,
Van Vranken and Mayor Balmer;
Noes: Councilmen None;
Absent: Councilmen None.
Councilman Van Vranken inquired about the scheduling for completion
of the Plans. Mr. Keller gave estimated times and City Manager Jones ad-
vised that the contract requires that Plans be completed up to the bidding
document stage within four months.
The City Manager stated that if there were no objections, he was
planning to view the General Electric Digital Communications Systems in
operation in Shreveport, Louisiana and Dallas, Texas, leaving Sunday
April 13th, returning April 15th, the cost of which would be provided from

Project.
