MILLER listed some provisions contained in the proposed code with whichthe commercial refrigeration group did not agree. (1) That the manufacturers; designs not be tested; only the installation of the units to be included in the code. The Assistant City Attorney stated "tested" may be defined in the code; that possibly Mr. Miller thought the test was of the unit whereas it should be of the system after the unit had been installed. (2) Board of Appeals. The Assistant City Attorney, Mr. Taylor, explained the board as set up in the first draft. He said this could be included under the Administration and Enforcement Section. There were no objections expressed to the Board except Mr. Werkenthin stated they would object to a manufacturer's being on such a board. Councilman Bechtol suggested that a paragraph be included to create a Board of Appeals such as suggested, but leave out distributors or manufacturing representatives and include a general lay man, heating and air conditioner contractor, engineer, refrigeration contractor, with the term of the members to be two years. MR. MILLER suggested that his group get together with the other group to see what could be worked out between them and then present it to the Council. Councilman Palmer stated the two groups were not too far apart; that one group =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 1068 1063 wanted an ordinance controlling refrigeration of food. Mr. Werkenthin had no objections to getting together and working something out; but he wanted to go on with the adoption of the code until they worked this out. Mr. Strandtmann wanted to see the code drawn as it is now, and set up the Board of Appeals; and his group would work with the other group and help them work out something for the commercial refrigeration, and that could be added later. MR. MILLER objected to the provision of having to submit drawings on any job 15 tons or more. He stated 15 ton units would not need the services of a registered engineer. It was stated this had been discussed previously and agreed upon. Mr. Miller still objected. He had another objection as to the Powers of the Inspector. The City Attorney suggested that under Sec. 38.16 Inspectors Duties and Powers, that "Inspectors are hereby invested with the power and full police authority of the City in enforcing this Chapter", be ommitted, and that the following be added: "Inspectors shall have the power to issue tickets requiring offenders to appear in Corporation Court,". 38.15 38.22 The Council went over changes as agreed upon on October 15, 1959, in minimum fees; (a) 1 Fees for Heating Systems, "forced air" be inserted; "project" to be more fully described; Sec. 38.24; 38.25 Add ARI. and set up in list of definitions. MR. IRA WILKE, SOUTHERN UNION GAS COMPANY, made inquiries about some discrepancies in the original draft, and the one which had been submitted by Mr. Miller. After more discussion, Councilman Bechtol moved that the City Attorney be instructed to bring before the Council an ordinance as agreed to in these discussions including the changes made in the original proposals submitted by this group plus the addition of an Appeals Board. The motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Noes: Councilmen Bechtol, Palmer, White, Mayor Miller None Absent: Councilman Perry It was decided to have this effective on February 1st.

The motion, seconded by Councilman Bechtol, carried by the following vote Ayes: Noes: Councilmen Bechtol, Palmer, White, Mayor Miller None Absent: Councilman Perry The City Manager displayed a picture of the river showing the south bank beginning at the new dam and extending up to the Interregional Highway Bridge, and pointed out a number of holes where sand and gravel had been removed. He pointed out the area that mostly would be submerged before the dam is built, and stated it would be necessary to clear the trees out, and move the dirt back. In talking with two contractors, he said one had given the figure of $6,182 for doing the work and another had figured $3,330. Councilman White moved that the City Manager be instructed to proceed with the suggestion he made about cleaning the area out, doing it himself, or getting Mr. Stuessy or anyone he could get or to take bids. The motion, seconded by Councilman Bechtol, carried by the CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 104066 following vote: Ayes: Noes: Councilmen Bechtol, Palmer, White, Mayor Miller None Absent: Councilmen Perry The City Manager submitted the problem of dividing the insurance for the City, and explained the manner in which it had been distributed previously, in that the Association of Insurance Agents had written the insurance for the City. A non-member company requested to participate, and the Association arranged with this company to write one-fifth of the fire schedule. Previously arrangements had been made whereby the Association had attempted to settle the controversy with the North American, by letting them write a policy on "reporting form". They had that policy at the time they agreed that 1/5 of the fire schedule would be written by them. In December, 1959, another meeting was held, and the North American agent stated that he thought they were entitled to have the reporting form policy plus 1/5 fire schedule. The Minutes of the December, 1950 meeting were read, and the North American representative stated they were substantially correct. The City Manager read the Minutes of December, 1959, and reported that according to the Minutes, the agreement was that North American would share 1/5 in the fire schedule. The other was renewed in a different company, and the fire insurance does not come due until February. Councilman White asked that he be furnished a copy of the letter, and Councilman Palmer asked that more information be obtained about the companies. Action was deferred. The City Manager reported that the School District had been expanded to include Summit, and it would be necessary to do some mapping in the territory, and the value of these maps to the city, in addition to their necessity in setting up the tax values of the district. He listed two processes by which the maps could be prepared--(1) a regular survey on the ground and maps provided from the deed records and survey, and (2) an aerial survey, by which photographs would be made and maps provided showing ownership; the plats would be checked with the deed records, and a key map given. It was his recommendation that the Aerial Survey be used, as the price would be under the other survey; that the aerial maps would give more information. He also explained the manner in which this item was budgeted and the percentage borne by the School on the operation of the tax department. He said it was his understanding that the maps and tracings could be delivered not later than April 1st. Councilman White moved that the City Manager be instructed to proceed with the recommendation which he had made. The motion, seconded by Councilman Bechtol, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Bechtol, Palmer, White, Mayor Miller Noes: None Absent: Councilman Perry CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 14067 Mayor Miller introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THAT CERTAIN ORDINANCE ENTITLED: "AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A RETIREMENT AND PENSIONING SYSTEM FOR CERTAIN EMPLOYEES OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN, PURSUANT TO AUTHORITY GRANTED THE CITY COUNCIL UNDER SECTION 52, OF ARTICLE XIV, OF THE CHARTER OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN; CREATING A RETIREMENT BOARD TO ADMINISTER AND OPERATE THE RETIREMENT AND PENSIONING SYSTEM AND DEFINING ITS POWERS, DUTIES AND FUNCTION; PROVIDING A METHOD OF FINANCING THE SYSTEM; REPEALING ALL LAWS OR PARTS OF LAWS IN CONFLICT HEREWITH; PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY AND SAVING CLAUSE AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY", PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL ON OCTOBER 10, 1940, BY AMENDING SUBSECTIONS (a) AND (e) OF SECTION 1, OF ARTICLE IV; REPEALING ALL LAWS OR PARTS OF LAWS IN CONFLICT HEREWITH; PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY AND SAVING CLAUSE AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY. The ordinance was read the first time and Councilman Bechtol moved that the rule be suspended and the ordinance passed to its second reading. The motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Bechtol, Palmer, White, Mayor Miller Noes: None Absent: Councilman Perry The ordinance was read the second time and Councilman Bechtol moved that the rule be suspended and the ordinance passed to its third reading. The motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Bechtol, Palmer, White, Mayor Miller Noes: None Absent: Councilman Perry The ordinance was read the third time and Councilman Bechtol moved that the ordinance be finally passed. The motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Bechtol, Palmer, White, Mayor Miller Noes: None Absent: Councilman Perry The Mayor announced that the ordinance had been finally passed. The City Manager made a recommendation regarding the street lighting in subdivisions, that the subdivision ordinance not be amended, but that the fiscal policy be amended so that street lighting requirements be complied with before refund contracts for water and sewer were made. Councilman Palmer asked that this be postponed until more data were submitted. Councilman Bechtol asked that the City Attorney be instructed to prepare a Resolution, and that the matter be publicised and set for public hearing on January 7th. He asked that besides street lighting, that street markers be included. The matter was set for January 7th, 1960. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 1061068 The City Manager made a further report on the steel columns in the Howson Library drawings, stating the difference in premiums on fireproofing these columns would amount to $12 to $16.00 a year, as to the cost of covering them would be several hundred dollars. Councilman White moved to proceed with the Library plans as they are now, with the exposed columns, as the difference in insurance cost would not justify the other construction. The motion, seconded by Councilman Bechtol, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Noes: Councilmen Bechtol, Palmer, White, Mayor Miller None Absent: Conncilman Perry The City Manager reported on the columns in the Airport Terminal, as to the credit that would be received by fireproofing them. He had a report from the insurance agency, but he wanted to make further check. The City Manager reported on a growing practice where people that provided set-back curbs, thinking the area belonged to them rather than thothe public, would paint the curbs with "Reserved for customer" or "Reserved for Tenants" or some other reserved provision. In some instances they were using the yellow paint as is used by the Traffic Division in painting curbs. Councilman Palmer stated the practice should be discouraged, and that we keep from spending the money, time and labor to repaint the curbs to take the yellow painti off. He suggested giving publicity, letting people know they are prohibited from doing this curb painting. After discussion, Councilman Bechtol moved that a procedure be set up where all instances of this nature be reported to the Traffic Engineer, and that he be instructed to write each property owner a letter that they are in violation; and if nothing is done within a certain time, that he go out and repaint the curbs, and charge it to the owners. Councilman White, carried by the following vote: The motion, seconded by Ayes: Noes: Councilmen Bechtol, Palmer, White None Absent: Councilman Perry Present but not in Council Room when vote was taken: Mayor Miller Councilman Palmer brought up a letter addressed to the Mayor, from Mr. Tom Kellum, regarding the Palm Property and the curb-cuts on West 14th and West Avenue. He read the letter, and said this location was right at the brow of the hill, and is a bad place to have cars backing out into traffic. The Director of Public Works had recommended against the drives, and reported that the Traffic Engineer had also recommended against it. The Council asked that he get both of the written recommendations. After discussion, Councilman Bechtol moved that the request be denied. The motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Noes: Councilmen Bechtol, Palmer, White None Absent: Councilman Perry Present but not in the Council Room when vote was taken: Mayor Miller =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 1061009 Councilman Palmer read a letter from the Demolay Organization asking permission to use certain city property for go-cart races. Councilman Bechtol moved that the group be written a nice letter stating that others had made similar requests, and that the matter had been discussed at great lengths and that the Council felt that this had no part in Recreational activities that should be sponsored by the City of Austin; also that the Chief of Police was against this sort of thing, and that their request be rejected. The motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Noes: Councilmen Bechtol, Palmer, White, None Absent: Councilman Perry Present but not in Council Room when vote was taken: Mayor Miller The Assistant City Manager submitted a request from the GONZALES WARM SPRINGS FOUNDATION for use of three parking meters (putting them on a five minute basis) for the rest of their drive on December 14th-17th. Their location was at 905 Congress. After discussion, Councilman Bechtol moved that their request be turned down. The motion, seconded by Councilman Palmer, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Bechtol, Palmer Noes: Councilman White Absent: Councilman Perry Present but not in Council Room when vote was taken: Mayor Miller It was explained there were more shoppers in town at this time, and the spaces were badly needed for the public. The Council informally agreed to set a public hearing on paving for January 7th at 10:30 A.Μ. As to scheduling a meeting with the hospital consultant, MR. STEINLE, it was stated he was not available at the time they had tried to contact him. Councilman Palmer suggested that inquiry be made to see if he could meet with the Council sometime during the week of January 11, 1960, and set out what his proposal would cover. The request of MR. JOHN MCMILLAN for permission to use the city property at Hancock and North Loop for the sale of Christmas trees, was presented. Due to the fact this property had deed restrictions upon it, and because of the congestion of traffic at this location, Councilman White moved that the request be denied. The motion, seconded by Councilman Palmer, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Noes: Councilmen Bechtol, Palmer, White None Absent: Councilman Perry Present but not in Council Room when vote was taken: Mayor Miller The Director of Public Works submitted the request of BURKE MATTHEWS to build over a culvert, on the south side of North Loop Boulevard and east =CITY OF AUSTIN.

The proposal was discussed, but the Council deferred action until next week. The City Attorney filed a proposed revision of the Electrical Code. There being no further business, the Council adjourned at 6:20 P.M., subject to the call of the Mayor. ATTEST: City Clerk APROVED Jon Miller. Mayor
