The Mayor gave a report on the meeting he had with the State Planning Board and of a luncheon with GOVERNOR SHIVERS, Attorney General JOHN B. SHEPPERD, and Board of Control Chairman, JAY PATTERSON. Councilman Pearson stated the Minutes of the State Planning Committee, prior to the meeting it had with the Council, reflected that they wanted to attempt to set up $50,000 toward the master plan. The Mayor suggested approving the Budget of the Planning Section, contingent upon the State's appropriating money to apply on this master plan. The Mayor stated it was an absolute necessity to add more policemen. The City Manager submitted a tabulation of the cost of one patrolman for the first year showing $3,460.00 for salary and equipment. For 6 patrolmen at $3,460.00 and 2 Criminal Investigators at $3,961.00 each, the total would be $28,684.00. After discussion, Councilman Long moved to include in the Budget the recommendation of the City Manager in the amount of $28,684.00, and deleting the Capital Outlay item of $28,500. The motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Long, Palmer, Pearson, White, Mayor Miller Noes: None The various accounts will be affected as follows: 100 Salaries & Wages $27,526.00 227 365 832 832 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Clothing Police Supplies 557.00 259.00 941 - Radio & Other Equipment 342.00 Councilman Long stated when the salary increases for Department Heads were discussed, she was not aware of the fact that the Administrative Assistant was leaving the City; and she did not believe that salary should be increased to $8,000. After discussion, Councilman Long moved that the Salaries of Department Heads be amended to make the Assistant City Manager's salary $6,500.00. The motion failed for lack of a second. The Council had before it the following recommendation of the City Manager SALARIES OF DEPARTMENT HEADS CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Present Proposed City Manager 12,501 17,500 Finance Director 9,031 10,000 Supt., Electric Dept. 9,031 10,000 Hospital Administrator 8,404 $8,920 Director of Public Works 7,947 10,000 Supt., Water Distribution 7,901 10,000 Supt., Water & Sewage Treatment 7,448 8,000 City Attorney 7,202 10,000 Adm.Asst. to City Manager 6,302 8,000 Fire Chief 6,112 7,515 Police Chief 6,112 7,515 Purchasing Agent 6,100 7,500 Personnel Director 5,481 6,000 Librarian 5,230 6,000 Superintendent, Abattoir 5,078 6,000 Fire Marshall 4,804 6,000 Councilman Palmer moved that the recommendation of the City Manager for these several officers be approved with the exception that none are raised; the City Manager's proposed salary be lowered $2,500; the Finance Director's proposed salary to remain the same; the Superintendent of Electric Department and the Hospital Administrator to remain the same; Director of Public Works, the same; Superintendent of Water Distribution to be written in $1,000 less; Water & Sewage Treatment Superintendent, the same; City Attorney, $1,000 less; Fire Chief, $515 less; Police Chief $515 less; Purchasing Agent $750 less; Librarian $250 less; Superintendent, Abattoir, $250 less; Fire Marshal the same; the Administrative Assistant the same; all to be written in the Budget in pen and ink, and noted where it is affected in the budget, the remaining sums to be returned to the anappropriated money. The motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Long, Palmer, Pearson, White, Mayor Miller Noes: None Councilman Long made the following statement regarding her vote: "I reluctantly vote for this because I do not believe the ; 833 833 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS heads of the Departments deserve an increase any more than some of the rank and file. There were three or four jobs I would not increase one cent. The majority of the Council has insisted on these figures and although I know that some are not proper, I will reluctantly vote to adoptthese." The Mayor made the following statement regarding his vote: "I want to keep the City together. I hope when the budget year ends we will have a substantial surplus." Councilman White was concerned over the personnel that were in the top of the brackets that will not be able to have any increases, and he wanted to do something about these people. The City Manager explained in the classified service, these people were subject to increases in the merit increase. Councilman Long stated there were two good men left out of these favored few--that is the Tax and Recreation Departments. Each of those departments merits increases if these others do. Councilman Palmer inquired about the appropriation for Social Security, and asked that the Council have an opportunity to look at the actuary's report to see if there should be an additional amount appropriated, or if the entire retirement program just be adjusted. The Mayor suggested that this be deferred until after the employees voted on the matter. Mayor Miller introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING AND APPROVING THE BUDGET FOR THE FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING OCTOBER 1, 1955, AND TERMINATING SEPTEMBER 30, 1956, AND MAKING APPROPRIATIONS FOR EACH DEPARTMENT, PROJECT AND ACCOUNT; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.

The motion, seconded by Councilman Palmer, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Long, Palmer, Pearson, White, Mayor Miller Noes: None The ordinance was read the third time and Councilman Pearson moved that the ordinance be finally passed. The motion, seconded by Councilman Palmer, carried by the following vote: CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 834 834 Ayes: Councilmen Long, Palmer, Pearson, White, Mayor Miller Noes: None The Mayor announced that the ordinance had been finally passed. Councilman Long suggested that study be given to the budget for next year, as drawn, to set out the budget in a different manner, as the Council had a report from Mr. Vernon McGee who worked on this budget and made some very fine suggestions, which would make the budget easier to understand, and easier to see where the city was going and what it could do. The City Manager stated he was familiar with the recommendation and it was what was desired to be done; that it would be a performance type of budget, which he preferred and would be much simpler. Mayor Miller introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE FIXING AND LEVYING MUNICIPAL AD VALOREM TAXES FOR THE CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS, FOR THE YEAR 1955, AND FOR EACH YEAR THEREAFTER UNTIL OTHERWISE PROVIDED; DIRECTING THE ASSESSMENT AND COLLECTION THEREOF; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY. (General - .62, Interest and sinking .34) The ordinance was read the first time and Councilman White moved that the rule be suspended and the ordinance passed to its second reading.

So that you ight have opportunity to make comparisons of figures, the budget statements of ash Receipts, Disbursements and Balances, pp. 9 and 106, contain three colums wering the years 1953-54, 1954-55, and 1955-56. As in previous years, the city has continued to grow. The following table erves to illustrate our rate of growth. 1952 uilding Permits Issued 3120 alue of Construction otal Electric Meters in ervice 44,129 1953 1954 1955 (Est.) 2900 3287 3300 $27,281,960 $34,116,375 $45,148,709 $63,000,000 46,772 48,862 51,142 This growth results in more demands for inspections, more garbage to pick , more streets to maintain, more use of the library and recreational facilities, more charity patients at the hospital and more people and property to require police ad fire protection. These additional services cannot be rendered without increasig the cost. GENERAL FUND REVENUES (pp. 10-11) These pages show a detailed breakdown of General Fund Resources. It is roposed that the 1954 general fund tax rate of 62 be continued in effect for 1955, CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 842 842 ii d our estimates of property tax revenue are based upon that rate. It will be ted that again this year the utility transfer to the general fund is extremely heavy. 1 analysis of the revenue accruing to this fund by source shows that $2,499,650 11 come from property taxes, and that $2, 760, 000 is proposed to be transferred om the utility fund, which means that again this year, property taxes will bear ss of the load of supporting our General Government activities than our utility nd. Much of the needed expansion of our utility system of necessity has been layed in order to provide this transfer. We estimate a slight increase in gross receipts taxes, and in license and ermit fees. A rather substantial increase in fines is expected because of the ecent adjustment of the schedule of fines used in Corporation Court. We have cluded in the revenue figures a sum to be paid by the Austin Public Schools for s share of the cost of assessing and collecting taxes, and our estimate of revenue › be derived from the hospital during the ensuing year is some $405,000 greater an the estimated revenue for the current year, because the new facilities at the ospital will be completed and available for use at the beginning of the new fiscal ear. The total resources of the General Fund for the next year is estimated at 8,046,772. This amount is $1,004,570 more than will have been expended in 954-55. EXPENDITURES (pp. 12-105) The proposed General Fund budget for the year 1955-56 contemplates a otal expenditure of $8,041, 229 of which $20,000 is for payment of an installment f a note given as part of the consideration for the property acquired by the City 843 843 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS iii r a new golf course. This total expenditure is an increase of $999,027 over the timated expenditure of $7,042,202 for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1955, art of this increase results from increased requirement for materials and supplies. art of the increase results from replacement of wornout equipment. A small part sults from merit increases in employees salaries under the job classification dinance and for salary increases proposed for key personnel whose jobs are not assified. There are several major items, however, which contribute to the inease. The expense at Brackenridge Hospital will increase some $288,000, cause the new facilities now under construction must be manned. This does not present an additional net cost to the city because it is estimated that the additionrevenues to be realized from the hospital next year will be over $400,000, so at the annual operating deficit should show an overall reduction next year. The im of $120,000 has been provided for Social Security for City employees. The olice Department budget has been increased more than $100,000. Street, bridge id drainage construction work, normally paid for with bond funds, are included this increase, because no bond funds are available for these purposes. Some 300,000 worth of street and bridge construction work is proposed for next year, hich is an increase of about $85,000 over the present year. We have added 15 en to the Sanitation Division, and the cost of that increase plus the cost of needed quipment amounts to about $120,000. Other increases in smaller amounts will e observed in the accounts of various departments. The following is a brief resume of the General Fund accounts: Administrative and Finance (pp. 13-30) This account includes all the administrative offices and general overhead. 844 844 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS iv 'he 1955-56 contemplated expenditure is $1, 194, 126, compared to an estimated 1,030,195 for the 12 months ending September 30, 1955. Of this $164,000 differnce, $120,000 is for Social Security. The only other item of consequence is some 20,000 increase in cost of planning for the year, including the preparation of the Master Plan. Public Safety (pp. 31-42) This section of our City Government, concerned with fire protection, police rotection and general inspectional services, has an increased budget of approxinately $162,000. $107,000 of the increase is accounted for in the Police Depart- nent where additional personnel are required and where $28, 500 has been set up to omplete the jail in the new Police and Courts Building. The jail cells being proided were originally planned for the new building but were eliminated at the time of its construction because of lack of funds. Now the available cells are crowded nd the new cells are urgently needed. To provide the ratio of policemen per housand people maintained by most cities, an additional $150,000 would be reuired, but the funds for such an increase in force are simply not available. The Fire Department budget is increased $29,000 to provide for longevity pay and a mall amount of equipment. Some new fire halls are being planned for next year but they will be paid for with bond funds. Six parking meter attendants have been dded in the Traffic and Transportation Department to relieve policemen from the ask of checking parking meter violations. Salaries, uniforms, and equipment or these attendants amount to about $14,000 while reductions in the other activiies reduce the increase of this department to a net of $10,000. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS V 845 845 Public Works (pp. 43-61) The Public Works Department budget for 1955-56 is estimated at $1,991,794, n increase of $305,000 over the estimate for the 12 months period ending SeptemDer 30, 1955. Street and Bridge construction accounts for $85,000 of this increase, he total budget for Street and Bridge construction being slightly over $300,000. The Sanitation budget has been increased approximately $120,000 to provide relacement and additional equipment and manpower for that division. Other significant tems are some $25,000 for engineering services needed in connection with drainage and street improvement plans, $21,000 for airport construction and repairs, and 34,000 for cemetery improvements. Some additional equipment and extra help has been provided for park maintenance with the hope that we can improve the appearance of the city. Public Health (pp. 62-85) The Public Health section of the budget includes the Health office, Brackenridge Hospital, TB Sanitorium, and the Abattoir. The total budget requirements for this section in 1955-56 is $2,185,455, as compared with $1,872,774 in the year just ending. Replacement of wornout machinery in the Abattoir accounts for some $20,000 of this increase, and the remainder is the increased cost of operating the nospital with its new facilities. As previously pointed out, however, the increased revenue at the hospital will more than offset this increased cost. Recreation (pp. 86-94) The Recreation Department budget for the coming year is estimated at $382,410, an increase of about $8,000 over the $374,625 estimated for the year ending September 30, 1955. 846 846 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS vi Libraries (pp. 95-98) The Library budget for the City has been increased approximately $26,000 to figure of $166, 303 for the coming year compared to $140, 397 for 1954-55. This ncrease is principally for additional books. The demands for books at our libraries. ave increased to the extent that unreasonable waiting periods are encountered by our patrons. We believe the addition of the books provided for will reduce this waitng time and result in better service to the people. UTILITY FUND Revenues (pp.107-108) Utility revenue in the new year is estimated at $8,972,000, an increase of some $586,000 over the estimate of $8, 386,000 for the present year. For a breakdown of This revenue, and a comparison to previous years, see pages 107 and 108. Utility Expenditures (pp. 109-131) Demands for electricity have continued to grow. Our generating capacity has now been increased to meet the existing demand, but expansion and development of pur distribution system is still lagging. Many improvements must be made in our listribution system before it will be capable of fully meeting the demands being placed upon it. A comparison of the construction scheduled for next year and the anticipated demand for expansion indicates that we will find ourselves in about the same position at the end of next year as now. In order to hold the tax rate of 624 for the general fund, a transfer of utility earnings to the general fund amounting to $2,760,000 is necessary. However, it should be noted that if the funds being transferred from year to year could be used for the development of the utility systems, the ailments of the systems could be cured in a very few years. 847 847 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS vii The total utility operating and maintenance budget proposed for the year 1955-56 amounts to $3,068, 350, an increase of $322, 331 over our estimated expenditures during the present year. Fuel costs will increase again - $66,000 this coming year. Other added expenses are labor, and other operational costs of the new addition to the power plant. It is anticipated that $275,000 will be refunded to subdividers in the coming year, some $20,000 less than expended this present year. Electrical Projects from Current Funds A total of $1,425,000 is contemplated for electrical system improvements to be paid from current funds. Of this sum $62,860 will be spent for replacement of trucks and other equipment and the remainder will be spent on the distribution system. Water System Projects from Current Funds Most of the utility revenue available for extensions has been alloted to the electric system to provide essential extensions of that system, and only $45,991 of the available revenue remains for water system equipment and improvements. Therefore most of the water system improvements must be paid for with bond funds, which amount to $930,209. Sewer System Projects from Current Funds The Sewer System will spend $20, 100 from current funds on capital outlay, most of its expenditures being accounted for by general obligation and revenue bond projects which total over $1,000,000. 848 848 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS viii CAPITAL EXPENDITURES FROM BONDS Proposed Revenue Bond Improvements (p 133) Of the revenue bonds heretofore authorized, all of the electric system bonds have been sold. There remains on hand the sum of $832,266, all of which will be expended during the year 1955-56. It is proposed that the remaining $750,000 of water system bonds and the remaining $500,000 of sewer system bonds be sold during the ensuing year. There now remains on hand water bond funds in the sum of $180,209 and sewer bond funds in the sum of $89,665. These funds together with the proceeds of the bonds to be sold will be expended during the year. Improvements which are contemplated with this money are as follows: Electric System Improvements from Revenue Bonds We plan an expenditure of $832, 266 from revenue bonds for electrical system improvements in the coming year. All but a very small part of this sum will be spent in the extension of the distribution system. In addition to transmission and distribution extensions, provision has been made for the installation of 300 mast arm street lights in residential areas and 80 high intensity street lights for thoroughfare lighting. The sum of $46, 000 has also been set up for the installation of 23 traffic signals. Water System Improvements from Revenue Bonds A total of $930,209 is budgeted for expenditure in the Water Department this year from revenue bonds. Some of our major projects are: 38th and Red River to Airport and East 19th, 24" main. Allandale Road and Shoal Creek Blvd. to Palo Duro and Woodrow, 20" main. D $199,.100 $ 90,800 CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS 849 849 ix Philco Drive and South 1st to Manchaca Road, 12" main. $ 41,200 Airport Blvd. and Manor Road to Schieffer, 12" main. $ 22,300 Springdale and East 19th to East 51st and Manor Road, 12" main .. .. $ 10,900 Services and meters for 2200 new services. $165,000 Fire Hydrants. $ 20,000 Sewer Utility Improvements from Revenue and General Obligation Bonds The Sewer Utility has a final $528,335 available in general obligation bond money. This together with $589,665 of revenue bond money, allows for a total expenditure in this section of $1, 118,000 for sewer improvements. The major projects are: Colorado River, Bowie Street to Hearne Street Boggy Creek, Bryan Street to Manor Road P $106,000 $100,000 West Bouldin Creek, Thornton Road to Jinx Avenue $ 75,000 West Bouldin Creek, South Ist at Colorado River Syphon to Brodie Street $ 70,000 4 Parker Lane area, Holly at Canadian Street to Woodland Avenue at Parker Lane Shoal Creek main, West 3rd Street to Gaston Avenue (to complete existing contract) $:53,000 α aa $ 50,000 Montopolis Area $ 48,000 PROPOSED GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND FUND IMPROVEMENTS (p. 132) Our general obligation bond funds will enter the new year with net resources of $1,363,992. During the year of 1955, it is proposed that we sell $220,000 of Fire Station bonds and $300,000 of Hospital Bonds. See page CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS X 850 850 132 for a schedule of the proposed expenditures for the ensuing year. INTEREST AND SINKING FUND General Obligation Bonds (pp. 134-141) The total receipts and balances available to the Interest and Sinking Fund for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 1955 will be $1,983,023. During the year, the City is committed to $922,500 in principal payments and $436,107 in interest costs. In addition, it must be anticipated that another $461,764 in principal and interest will be due January 1, 1957. Thus, after the above disbursements and reserve for January 1, 1957 requirements are deducted, the fund will have a balance of $160,388. REVENUE BOND AND INTEREST RETIREMENT FUND (p. 142) The total receipts and balances available for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 1955, will be $2,964,905, and during the year the City is committed to $1,200,000 principal payments and $376,925 in interest cost. There will remain a balance of $1,387,980 for a required reserve of $604,000, accrued principal of $600,000 for April 1, 1957 payments, and $183,980 for interest payments October 1, 1956. SUMMARY We have attempted to be realistic in the preparation of this proposed budget in our estimates of both revenue and expenses. While our reserves are small, we believe we can live with the budget as presented. Services and improvements have been reduced to bare essentials. The many other needs of the city have not been ignored but have been omitted by necessity. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 851 851 xi We recommend that serious consideration be given to financial planning for the next few years.
