CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS MINUTES OF THE CITY COUNCIL CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Regular Meeting April 19, 1951 10:00 Α.Μ. Council Chamber, City Hall 350 330 The meeting was called to order with Mayor Glass presiding. Roll Call: Present: Councilmen Drake, Johnson, Long, MacCorkle, Mayor Glass Absent: None Present also: Walter E. Seaholm, City Manager: Trueman E. O'Quinn, City Attorney: C. G. Levander, Director of Public Works; R. D. Thorp, Chief of Police. Also present was Mr. Ben White, Councilman Elect. Councilman MacCorkle pointed out a correction in the Minutes pertaining to the name of MISS LORA LEE PEDERSON. Councilman Johnson moved that since copies of the minutes of the last meeting of the City Council have been furnished Council members by the City Clerk, the reading of the minutes be dispensed with and that the minutes be adopted with the noted correction. The motion, upon being duly seconded by Councilman MacCorkle, was unanimously adopted by the Council and the minutes so approved. MR. A. W. (GRIP) PENN made inquiry about his request of March 1st of cutting down the parkways in East 12th Street to provide parking in the middle of the street. The City Manager explained the study made on this project did not show the plan to be advisable, in that visibility would be affected and that it would be a bad street in rainy weather; and all in all, it was not recommended. The Mayor suggested that Mr. Penn try to sell the idea to the State of using the block at llth and Congress Avenue as a parking lot for State employees. MR. JAMES R. BROWN, and MRS. JOE TAYLOR, and others appeared before the Council again protesting the substation that was planned to be located at the Fire Hall on 10th and Blanco; stating that work was going on all the time. The City Manager had ordered that work be stopped on this proposition, and he explained that the work that was being done was the replacing of a pole which was independent of any substation. The group asked again that another location be found. The Mayor told them it could not be located in a short time, as studies of loads and lines had to be made, and that the City Manager and Council would try to find another suitable place as soon as possible. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 331 331 MRS. HOLLAND PAGE, JR., asked the Council to try to do something about the Administration Building at the Airport, as it was a disgrace. She understood that the C. A. A. had withdrawn their appropriation to match the City's for a new Administration Building and large apron for aircraft. It was explained this fund was withdrawn temporarily due to the emergency and controls on buildings; that the building was a matter of finances. At such time the City could go ahead, the Government Funds would probably be reinstated. At this time the City is limited in the amount of bonds it can sell, and keep within a certain credit limitation. MR. CHARLIE ROBINSON, Charley's Place on Lake Austin, asked that controls be placed on speed boats in the vicinity of the Metropolitan Park and his own place; as the situation was becoming dangerous, there being many swimmers. He asked that a speed limit of about eight miles be placed about one-fourth mile from the front of these two bathing beaches. He also asked that someone patrol the area as each week he had to rescue people from the middle of the lake; that in the last two years, he had pulled about 300 people out. MR. A. W. PENN also favored the speed limit; and asked that no boat racing permits be given. He would like to see the boat racing on Marshall Ford lake and not on Lake Austin. The Mayor asked that an ordinance be drawn up regulating speed in front of the beaches on Lake Austin. The City Manager stated he would get with the Navigation Board and get some recommendations from this Board to submit to the Council. MR. F. R. OAKS, 94 Trinity made inquiry of the proposed low-water dam, stating money had been voted for this dam and park improvements, but nothing had been accomplished. It was explained to him the bonds had not been sold as yet, and this $18,000,000 bond program was a 10 year plan; and within the 10 years, the low water dam would be built. COUNCILMAN JOHNSON brought to the Council's attention the fact that somebody is stealing shrubbery out of the Memorial Cemetery at night. He had had two complaints about this. The Director of Public Works reported that a man had been placed there to watch this and catch the persons. COUNCILMAN JOHNSON reported a complaint he had from MRS. J. R. LEDBETTER, 312 Oltorf, regarding trucks on Oltorf and Wilson Streets raising so much dust. Also, she complained that people were racing on Wilson Street going down to Gillis Playground, and that there were no stop signs or traffic lights. The City Manager stated a patrolman would be placed down there for a while and get this straightened out. COUNCILMAN JOHNSON asked that when the Evaluation Committee was finished with the Job Classification, that the City Council go over their report with them before any salaries are set. The City Manager said the Committee would meet with the Council and he would submit the report of their recommendations and the Council could discuss it and possibly make further recommendations. Councilman Johnson stated he would like to review the report with them. The Council received notice from the City Manager that the following application for change of zoning had been referred to the Zoning Board of Adjustment for consideration and recommendation: 332 332 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS JOE B.

It had been recommended that condemna- tion proceedings be started on this property in this area. DR. CARL M. ROSENQUIST stated he would appreciate further negotiations with the City. The difference between what he was offered and what he would take was about $50,000. His property had potential subdivision values, and besides it was his home place, and he could not find a place like this one. Dr. Rosenquist asked to see the Appraisal Committee's report on the basis of their estimate. The Council decided to wait until the following Thursday and see if Dr. Rosenquist and the City could reach an agreement on his property value. (Part of the Daniel J. Gilbert: Survey) MR. JAMES G. HOLLOWAY, JR., representing his wife, asked further consideration of the Council, stating the price he had been offered for his property in the area needed for the new water plant was much lower than they would accept$10,000 as against $27,000. Mr. Holloway stated their property had a beautiful view that was worth money and was level. He asked the Council for more time to try to work out something, to see if an agreement could be reach before condemnatinn proceedings were started. (Part of the Daniel J. Gilbert Survey.) The Coun- cil decided to hold this over until the following Thursday. MR. JOHN WEILER, appeared in his own interest of the property that was up before the Council regarding property needed for the new Water Plant in the MT. BONNEL area, and which property was being considered to be obtained under condemnation proceedings. Mr. Weiler stated he had been offered only $3600.00 by the City, and he felt his property had a value as a future subdivision; but if not for a subdividion, he wanted to build a home on it. He had no price to offer, and asked that action be taken through the Courts.
