CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 634636 The motion, seconded by Councilman Johnson, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Long, MacCorkle, White, Mayor Drake Noes: None The Council received the following from the Zoning Board of Adjustment dated August 2, 1951: "An application for a zoning change to permit operation of a potato chip factory has been received and considered by the Beard and a recommendation was made that a change to "D" Industral District not be made because of the location of the property near the proposed Lake and Riverfront Development project and the Putler Park recreational development. "Although the Board could not recommend this change to Industrial, it was the general feeling that the operation of the potate chip processing establishment would not be out of line with other uses now permit- ted in a "C" Commercial District such as ice cream manufacturing and other processing plants. Other activities which could possibly be construed as not being within the strict interpretation of retail commer- cial uses normally permitted in a "C" Commercial District are also listed in this category. The Board deemed in view of these conditions and circumstances that a potato processing plant is not particularly different from those now permitted and should be included. The Board therefore recommends that the Zoning Ordinance be amended to include this particular activity in a "C" Commercial District but not in Community Centers. "Respectfully submitted, BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT By H.F.Kuehne (S) Chairman" The Mayor then introduced the following ordinances AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THAT CERTAIN ORDINANCE PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS, JULY 17, 1941, AND RECORDED IN OR- DINANCE BOOK "L", PAGES 152-174, INCLUSIVE, OF THE ORDINANCE RECORDS OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN, WHICH ORDINANCE WAS AMENDATORY OF THAT CERTAIN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING ZONING REGULATIONS AND DISTRICTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL APRIL 23, 1931, AND RECORDED IN ORDINANCE BOOK "I", PAGES 301-318, INCLUSIVE, OF THE ORDINANCE RECORDS OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN, THE AMENDATORY ORDINANCE HEREBY AMENDING THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS: SECTION 6, SO AS TO ADD ONE NEW ITEM, NUMBER 47; AND SUSPENDING THE RULE REQUIRING THE READING OF ORDINANCES ON THREE SEPARATEDAYS.

The motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Long, MacCorkle, White, Mayor Drake Noes: None CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS = 487639 Councilman Long inquired if the Planning Commission was studying the new school locations to see if roads were available and if they were getting ready for the new schools. The City Manager replied they were studying the sites inside the City, but those still outside the limits, would have to be studied later. Park areas were being considered on these three new schools that are to be constructed in the near future.

The motion, seconded by Councilman MacCorkle, carried by the following votes Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Long, MacCorkle, White, Mayor Drake Noes: None Councilman MacCorkle opened the discussion about parking in the City's parking lot just behind the City Hall. The City Manager stated at present there was no ordinance covering parking, and thereby there was no police power. He recommended an ordinance to provide for official cars and for cars on which mileage is being paid. After discussion, Councilman MacCorkle moved that the City Attorney prepare an ordinance to regulate the use of the space behind the City Hall and the adjoining lot for official use. The motion, seconded by Councilman "hite, car ried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, MacCorkle, White, Mayor Drake Noes: Councilman Long Councilman MacCorkle felt it was not good public relations to have city cars parked around the streets in front of individuals' homes. The City Manager explained the uses of the various cars assigned for employees who were on 24-hour call duty, or for parking purposes. He stated most of these cars were trouble trucks; and by being assigned to those employees would expedite calls, and eliminate having these employees on duty all the time. Councilman MacCorkle pointed out one case where the truck was parked on a street where the individual was building a house. The City Manager replied this particular individual was the Power Plant Superintendent and was subject to 24-hour call, and it was necessary that he have CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS 640 640 a car availalbe at all times. He stated he was not aware of any abuses of the use of the city cars. If there are, he of course wanted the reports. He stated cars that had been used for transportation purposes only, had been called in. Councilman Long asked if some were not taking the car home to park it and then using it to go to the grocery store, etc. The City Manager stated he did not feel that too much of that was being done. Councilman White reported passing a man with his family in a city car last Sunday. He also asked about those who took their cars home to park them, but not parking them in a garage. The City Manager stated they may not have but a single garage; but the city cars had no garages down here and the cars had to stay out. Councilman Wh "hite said this particular person he knew had no excuse for having to be on call 24 hours a day. He asked who were taking the cars home, and who had 24-hour duty. Councilman MacCorkle thought this whole matter might be looked into and studied. The City Manager stated it had been studied, and he felt it was being kept under control and that abuses were kept down to a minimum. He was constantly directing the Department Heads about that matter. Councilman White stated that sometime back he had asked about ELDRED PERRY, Superintendent of the Abattoir, having a city car assigned to him. The City Manager stated at the time this inquiry was made, it was his impression that Mr. Per- ry did not have a new city car. Councilman White asked why it was necessary to purchase him a car. The City Manager stated he was not aware that he had a car at that time, but that he did commate quite a bit between the City Hall and the Abattoir. Councilman White asked why it was necessary after all this time for him to have a car, when he used to use a pick-up. t Councilman Long stated the parks were being neglected as far as watering them is concerned, as they were dusty and dried up. She suggested authorizing $20,000 for watering the parks. Also she suggested $20,000 for cleaning out gulleys, weeds, etc., and getting the streets cleaned. Councilman MacCorkle felt the money might be spent elsewhere where it would do more people more good, and he suggested possibly oiling more streets to keep down the dust. Councilman White felt the parks were being continually used, and he favored keeping them watered. Mayor Drake suggested authorizing the City Manager to put on some extra men and equipment without spending so much money. After more discussion, Councilman Long moved that the City Manager be authorized to exceed the Sanitation budget, not to exceed $20,000, to be appropriated from the unbudgeted funds, for watering and cleaning up the city's properties. The motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following votes Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Long, MacCorkle, White, Mayor Drake Noes: None The City Manager reported that water consumption for July exceeded last July 25%. 61641 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Mayor Drake introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF BONDS OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS, TO THE AMOUNT OF FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($500,000.00) FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONSTRUCTING AND IMPROVING EXTENSIONS, ADDITIONS, AND BETTERMENTS TO THE SANI- TARY SEWERS AND SEWER DISPOSAL PLANTS OF THE SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN AND FOR ACQUIRING NECESSARY LANDS AND EQUIPMENT FOR SAID SYSTEM; PROVIDING FOR THE PAYMENT OF SAID BONDS; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.
