Others think it is trite, and others think it is cartoonish and

There seems to be almost universal agreement, however, that it is expensive about two hundred thousand dollars with the transition campaign costing another nine hundred thousand dollars.

Uh with all the pressing financial issues Austin faces, I do not know anyone who was clamoring to spend this kind of money on something this flawed.

Personally

I don't want to live in a company town flying the flag of a corporate trademark.

So I want to make a positive suggestion.

Slide.

Replace the heavily criticized city seal with another one.

I had the idea to replace the SEAL back in the nineteen eighties and I asked a few artists to come up with ideas.

This was the best one drawn by someone you might know, the late Mayor Pro Tem Jackie Goodman.

Jackie gave this to me and I will give it to the city for free.

Should you need more confirmation of ownership, I've talked to her surviving heir, Janice Morgan, who has told me she would also donate it to the city as well.

You can't beat the price.

Uh to save on cost you can phase the new seal in as stationary, is reprinted, as vehicles are replaced, as buildings are remodeled.

The artwork was not drawn for money, it was created because Goodman cared about this city.

She symbolized the best of Austin.

Accept this contribution.

from one of our own and from one of your own.

Thank you.

Yes, sir.
