SCARBROUGH, Superintendent, appeared before the Council regarding space assignments for the Company, regarding placing the gas line to the new Power Plant on the bridge rather than in the river bed. The City Manager did not recommend placing the line on the bridge and stated the consulting engineer, Mr. Higgins, of Brown and Root, had advised against this, as the high-pressure line would constitute some degree of hazard, and that he had recommended if the pipe were placed deep in the river bed to secure it from floods, it would be safer than on the bridge. The Mayor stated the Railroad Commission should be contacted on this to see what it recommended. He told the Gas Company officials that the City had all of the rights-of-way, and the Company would run into no trouble there. He stated this was a long contract, and it was necessary to have all the safeguards to protect human life and all the other factors. He suggested that the Brown and Root consultants be contacted again also. Action on the space assignments was deferred until after the bids on the line were received. The City Manager brought up the drainage project which the Council had under consideration in North Plains Subdivision, to do away with the temporary ditch. He stated the project would involve placement of pipe in North Plains Avenue from Sales Street across Brockman Street and into an existing culvert on Burnet Road. He said this was a project which the City would ordinarily participate in; but at this time there are no funds available. To get started, MR. NASH PHILLIPS would like to put up the money, and let the City do the work and reimburse him at some later date, and it was the City Manager's recommendation that this be worked out. After discussion, Councilman White moved to follow the City Manager's recommendation and proceed with the work. The motion, seconded by Councilman Bechtol, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Bechtol, Palmer, Perry, White Noes: None Not in Council Room when vote was taken: Mayor Miller ) ) : _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS: The City Manager stated a circular letter had been received from the ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION regarding the setting up of several atomic energy plants in cities, and had asked if the City were interested. He had talked with the Brown and Root Consulting Engineers, and they had written a letter stating this was not an advantageous thing for the City at this time. He read the letter setting out the disadvantages as follows: "April 27, 1960 : i ن ) "Mr. D. C. Kinney City of Austin P. O. Box 1160 Austin 64, Texas "Dear Mr. Kinney: , "After thorough investigation of the information submitted to you by the Atomic Energy Commission in regard to your participation in Atomic Reactor demonstration, we wish to point out the following conditions and limitations of this program. "The primary contract is for the supplying of steam at a predetermined rate and cost for a five (5) year period. During this period the availability of the reactor system would be about 60% due to demonstrations, equipment limitations, refueling, etc. After the initial five (5) year operational period, the contract may be extended at the option of the A.E.C. The maximum operational period will be ten (10) years after which time the reactor system could be sold to the utility or dismantled. The steam cost during the operational period will be based in part on the cost of fossil fuel and will reflect any changes in this fuel cost. The contract also calls for payment of steam costs during reduced load operation to be based on reactor available steam production rather than actual steam productions. The A.E.C. also has the right to suspend operation of the reactor at any time deemed necessary in the interest of public health and safety. "The installed cost of the City of Austin's portion of this contract would be in excess of that of a conventional power plant of this rating; in fact, with the requirement of special equipment, safeguards, etc., the increase would exceed the installed cost of a complete power plant of this rating. "Another drawback or disadvantage of this participation contract is the heat rate of the turbo-generator cycle of this plant being lower than that of an equivalent unit due to limitation of steam pressure and the absence of superheat. This unit would also be costly to operate at a later date if a fossil fuel burning boiler had to be installed in lieu of the reactor. "In talking with Mr. K. A. Dunbar of the A.E.C., we were informed that the plant site should be in an area of low density population. This would mean cheap plant site cost but would also require an extensive transmission line that would more than off-set this saving. Mr. Dunbar also stated that it would be possible to contaminate the cooling water system with a condenser failure. The solution to this problem would be a cooling tower or a retention pond on the cooling water discharge system involving an expenditure of additional money. Mr. Dunbar further stated that the required operating personnel for this plant would not only be greater in number, compared to the conventional plants, but would also be much higher caliber men and, therefore, command a premium salary. "It is also quite possible this unit could become obsolete in design before ) C CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS. termination of the contract. "It is Brown & Root's recommendation that participation by the City of Austin in this A.E.C. demonstration plant be deferred until such time when the load characteristic of your system warrants its use, or until atomic power plants of this nature are developed to a point where design, construction, and operating costs are more in line with the fossil fuel burning units. "We are returning herewith the Model Contract and the Atomic Energy Commission's letter of January 8, together with the Turbine-Generator Proposal. "We were pleased to review this matter for you; and we will discuss this matter further with you in your office on Friday, April 29. "Very truly yours, BROWN & ROOT, INC. (Sgd) D. N. Higgins D. N. Higgins Chief Power Engineer" Councilman Palmer stated that their contract may have to be revised before cities could submit bids, and suggested that the Commission be written that Austin is definitely interested; but at this moment under this contract there were certain items that it could not make an offer; but if they did submit alternate propositions, the City would welcome an opportunity to bid again. Councilman Perry asked that the Commission be informed that the City was considering the matter. The City Manager submitted the recommendations from the Recreation Director for a Junior Golf Fee at the Municipal Golf Course, of 50 for 18 holes, not to include Holidays and Saturdays--Just Mondays through Fridays, during June, July and August. Councilman Bechtol moved that the junior golf fee be set as recommended. The motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Bechtol, Palmer, Perry, White, Mayor Miller Noes: None The City Manager stated he was about ready to proceed with the design work on the water project on South 1st Street down to the Sewage Disposal Plant on the south side of the river bank, and wanted to engage the services of consulting engineers, and listed the amounts of engineering services by the various consultants. At this time it was his recommendation that MARVIN TURNER CONSULTING ENGINEERS be selected to do this design work. Councilman White moved that MARVIN TURNER CONSULTING ENGINEERS be selected for this water project. The motion, seconded by Councilman Palmer, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Bechtol, Palmer, Perry, White, Mayor Miller Noes: None _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS: C し ) The City Manager stated the Recreation Director had received a request from the U.S.O. for permission to use Zilker Club Hut, free of charge, each Saturday night for the Bergstrom Field personnel. After discussion of the present policies and of recreational facilities for the military men in this area, the Council informally agreed to grant the permission for the month of June at the regular charge, and see how many participated. Councilman Bechtol brought up Mr. Scrugg's requests, and outlined the things he had asked--(1) the closing of the alley between 17th and 18th, which has been done; (2) the closing of 17th Street, which he had been told was not feasible; (3) Paving of Neches Street from 16th to 17th, which still remains in question; (4) His buying a portion of city-owned land on 18th to give him access and his offer to contribute up to a half of the cost of improving Waller Creek, his half not to exceed $1,000. Councilman Palmer stated this improvement in Waller Creek was not particularly for the public. After discussion, Councilman Bechtol moved to sell Mr. Scruggs the city property in question for $350.00, subject to there being no further need of this property for the City. The motion, seconded by Councilman Palmer, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Bechtol, Palmer, Perry, White, Mayor Miller Noes: None MAYOR MILLER reported a bad situation on the ramps at the Auditorium, in that the first ramp is several inches from the floor; and in places had no boards or rubber covers, and people were tripping and falling. The Assistant City Manager made a report on the contract at the Pitch and Putt Golf Course, stating Mr. Kinser would accept the rate of $200.00 per month on a year to year basis, but that he had raised the question of selling beer, stating the customers purchased it elsewhere and brought in on the Course. Councilman Palmer stated this would be a concession-right matter, and also would require a zoning change. Councilman Bechtol moved that his lease be renewed on a year to year basis for $200.00 a month. The motion, seconded by Councilman Palmer, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Bechtol, Palmer, Perry, White, Mayor Miller Noes: None The Assistant City Manager called attention to a write-up in the Corpus Christi paper commending the Austin Safety Program under the direction of MR. FRANK BEARDSLEY. This was in the paper dated May 3, 1960. The Assistant City Attorney, MR. DUDLEY FOWLER, displayed a map showing property on which he had a signed contract --14.3 acres--from RUBY R. LEIGH, for $37,300, and the property owners to retain the improvements for 25%. He had another piece of property owned by MR. ROY A MILLER on Anchor Lane, which he was recommending $27,300. After discussion of prices and appraisals, Councilman White moved that the City Manager be authorized to acquire this land.
