Roll call: Present: Councilmen Bechtol, Perry, White, Mayor Pro-tem Palmer Absent: Mayor Miller Present also: W. T. Williams, Jr., City Manager; Doren R. Eskew, City Attorney; Reuben Rountree, Jr., Director of Public Works; Robert A. Miles, Chief of Police Councilman White moved that the Minutes of the Meetings of December 29, 1960 and December 30, 1960, be approved. The motion, seconded by Councilman Perry, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Noes: Councilmen Bechtol, Perry, White, Mayor Pro-tem Palmer None Absent: Mayor Miller MR. JOE MANOR appeared before the Council stating that the Citizens Youth Council in co-partnership with the Texas Parole Association is having a Town-Hall Meeting Monday at the Auditorium, and MR. O. B. ELLIS, Texas Correction System, will be the main speaker. He extended an invitation to the Council to be platform guests at the meeting at 7:30 Monday at the Auditorium. The Mayor Protem thanked Mr. Manor for the invitation. MR. EDWARD B. WEAVER appeared before the Council inquiring about the charges made against him as he was discharged on January 6th. He was referred to the Assistant City Manager, who stated he would be glad to explain to Mr. Weaver again. MR. DICK BAKER, representing the Austin Home Builders Association, appeared in the interest of the establishment of a fee for "here and there" meter loops. COUNCILMAN BECHTOL stated three weeks ago, the Electrical Policy, that had been in effect in the City for the past 12 months, was submitted by the City Manager, who explained that there should be included the charge for this "here and there" meter loop. He said that Mr. White had asked that approval be = CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS C 39 put off until it was studied, and the matter was put off; and until last week, everybody agreed that that was the thing to do. The matter had been listed on the pending list. Last week the policy was approved with the provision that the charge for the "here and there" meter loop not be put into effect until February 1, 1961. Councilman Bechtol stated he took a notice to the press room and asked that it be given a prominent write-up, and that he was mistaken in his statement that it was in the paper three weeks ago. MR. BAKER expressed opposition to this charge for "in and out" meter loops, and said no one in the Association was aware of the fact this charge was contemplated. His objections covered the beliefs that this added increase, along with other increases put into effect, would raise the cost of homes $100 to $150 and was a critical problem to the home building industry. He suggested looking at the Utility System as a whole and not trying to analyze the cost of the service as when residential or commercial buildings were erected, they would be serviced with power, and income would be realized. As these customers were added some service should be furnished. He stated the City was in one Department promoting the sales of electricity, while in another department it was charging a fee to cover the costs of the "here and there" meter loops. He said there should be cooperation between the City and the builders in selling the electrical heat and uses; but the City in turn charges the builders for the service they render to get these additional power units so more electricity can be sold. He summarized the main objections against the $20.00 charge: (1) Base the picture on an overall operating revenue. If service is furnished, it should be considered a part of the operating expense. (2) The $20.00 charge covers a $9.50 cost for wire; $2.75 per hour labor for one or two hours; $1.50 for truck time for two hours plus 15% operation expense. Very detailed discussion was held on the $9.00 cost of wire and the time it took to set the meters. Mr. Baker stated he did not believe the charge should be established; and if it is established, that consideration be given to reduce the cost. He promised the cooperation of the Home Builders, and suggested if the builders and Electric Department could get together, theymight find a way to eliminate the $9.00 charge. Mayor Pro-tem Palmer stated that might be worked out with the Electrical Technical Staff. MR. CARRINGTON displayed pictures of wires and "here-and-there" meter loops, stating the wire was used over and over again, and that it took only 15 or 20 minutes to set one of these loops; yet the home builders were billed for two hours when it took only a few minutes. He said a $2.50 maximum would be all it would take to connect one of these loops. Councilman Perry suggested if other utilities were making this charge then it would be proper; if they were not, then serious consideration should be given to this. If other utilities are making the charge, and there is still some reason why the City should not be, then it should be established why we should not if others are. He said it was his understanding that other utilities were making the charge. MR. JOE ATKISON discussed utilities and this charge, stating if they did have a fee, they gave services to offset it. He asked that this matter be delayed to give time to prepare their case and get more facts. Councilman Bechtol pointed out the services the City gave, making particular CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS 40 emphasis on the refund contracts, and he stated he believed the City was perfectly justified in making this charge. Mayor Pro-tem Palmer stated comparisons with privately owned utilities showed that the Austin plants were operating as efficiently as any privately owned plant. He said it was the desire to have each service carry its own weight, and the City would not have to raise taxes to impose on the homeowners. Councilman White said he made inquiry if this charge was in line and if everybody agreed and if it were O.K. On the belief it was O.K., he said he voted for the resolution. He said he made the statement that it ought to be publicized, and he still thought it should be publicized. He said he could not see why the home builders and all could not work together on it, and suggested hearing the people this morning and let them get with Mr. Kinney and work it out where it is satisfactory. MR. NELSON PUETT expressed opposition to the charge, as fees for building permits, plumbing permits, and electric permits had already been doubled, and now this fee is established. He said there were other ways of raising money, and asked that it be found, and keep it off the homeowners back for a while. MR. BAKER compared the electrical utility with the gas and telephone utilities, along with their service charges. He stated in other cities, a bonus was being paid for putting in electrical appliances. He discussed the appearance of more apartment buildings and what this had done to the home building industry. MAYOR PRO-TEM PALMER said the fee had been voted to become effective February 1st, and he would suggest that someone from the group meet with the City representatives and go over the costs. If the group could convince the Electric Department and have figures to show them that the cost is excessive, then something could be worked out. The Director of Electric Utilities submitted figures of cost of connecting these meter loops, stating even though the cost of the wire were taken out, the overall cost of "in and out" meters would still be around $20.53 average cost, and made an explanation. MR. BAKER said this was ambiguous and intangible the way it was pointed out. The City Manager explained the part to which Mr. Baker referred. Certain information was requested from the Home Builders through Mr. Baker--that information be furnished as to the number of meter loops set in Austin. The Director of Electric Utilities stated the information could be developed. MR. ATKISON asked for additonal information covering amount of time consumed in setting them and the addresses, and amount of time turned in on each special job. The City Manager explained the procedure for keeping this information. Councilman Bechtol stated it was hard for him to say that the $20.00 could not be justified as being the cost. The problem brought into the picture is how much should be charged, whether a cost charge should be made or not, and he stated he thought the charge was proper. He said he had not heard any technical man say it should be less, and he would like to hear more about the breakdown. Mayor Pro-tem Palmer said again that the fee had been voted effective CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 11 February 1st, and suggested that the group, as rapidly as it could, meet with Mr. Kinney and try to develop their facts; and if by February 1st, if they could show good reason to delay it until February 15th or March 1st, he, as one Council member would vote to do so. Councilman White stated it was agreeable to him with the understanding if they asked for an extension, he would go along with them because they would probably need it. The City Manager suggested that the home builders explore the possibility of cutting down on the number of "here and there" meters required. He said it had been pointed out there was a safety factor involved, and he suggested this could be remedied by the superintendent's being responsible for cutting the extensions off, thereby cutting down on the number of meter loops required. The Mayor Pro-tem thanked the group for coming down and stated the Council would work along with them to the best interest of the City. Mayor Pro-tem Palmer introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE ORDERING A CHANGE IN USE AND CHANGING THE USE MAPS ACCOMPANYING CHAPTER 39 OF THE AUSTIN CITY CODE OF 1954 AS FOLLOWS: (1) LOT 17, BLOCK 2, LA PRELLE PLACE, FROM "A" RESIDENCE DISTRICT TO "LR" LOCAL RETAIL DISTRICT; (2) LOT 1 OF THE RESUBDIVISION OF A PORTION OF OUTLOT 18 1/2, DIVISION B, CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS, LOCALLY KNOWN AS 1212-1300 (1208) SPRINGDALE ROAD, FROM "A" RESIDENCE DISTRICT TO "B" RESIDENCE DISTRICT; (3) AN INTERIOR TRACT OF LAND HAVING IRREGULAR DIMENSIONS AND CONTAINING AN AREA OF 17,620 SQUARE FEET, LOCALLY KNOWN AS 1148 AIRPORT BOULEVARD, FROM "C" COMMERCIAL DISTRICT TO "C-1" COMMERCIAL DISTRICT; (4) THE NORTH 33.84 FEET OF LOT 7 AND THE SOUTH 28.45 FEET OF LOT 8, BLOCK V, RIDGETOP FOURTH ADDITION, FROM "A" RESIDENCE DISTRICT TO "C" COMMERCIAL DISTRICT; (5) THE WEST 52 FEET OF LOT 8, BLOCK 13, C.R.

MR. NELSON PUETT. The City Attorney reviewed the policy followed by the Council, and pointed out on a map the two sections of the subdivision which Mr. Puett had requested annexation, and the area which had not been included in the request. Mr. Puett argued that the subdivisions had been approved and filed of record and were ready for development. Councilman Bechtol stated he had asked that this be postponed last week, and that he thought there was going to have to be an agreement reached whether there will be access across the creek with one or two bridges. Mr. Puett stated if he wanted a bridge at a certain location, he would pay his share of a traffic bridge, but he would not have a walk-way across his property, pointing to the area on the map. Councilman Bechtol inquired if there were bridges at both locations, if Mr. Puett would participate, and Mr. Puett stated he would not; if the City would pay for one, he would pay for the other. After discussion, Councilman Bechtol stated there would be no way to work the problem out now; and Mr. Puett stated it could be worked out eventually, but it did not involve these two subdivisions, and he would not make any commitment, and he would have to talk with his lawyer. Finally, Mayor Pro-tem Palmer stated that Councilman Bechtol had requested that he have time to consider this, and the Council would look into it further. Later in the meeting, the City Manager discussed the development of the area, and stated in time the bridge will be needed, but not needed to serve for cross-town traffic; but would serve Mr. Puett's subdivision in getting access to the Junior High School, and to serve the people on the east side to get to the elementary school. It is a local need.

FRANK BROOKS appeared before the Council to discuss the boning room operation contract. The Superintendent of the Abattoir reviewed the operations of the Abattoir, and the history of establishing boning operations there, and reveiwed the basis upon which the $520 maximum and $100 minimum monthly rental had been set for MR. FRANK BROOKS. He reported on a meeting with Mr. Brooks, Mr. Terrell Blodgett, and Mayor Miller on March 31, 1960, where it had been discussed and agreed that $100 would be the minimum and $500 would be the maximum rental. MR.FRANK BROOKS outlined the growth of his operations, and the enlargement of the personnel from 5 to 25 people. He stated in discussing the proposed contract he was asked to make three concessions: (1) to discontinue the sale of certain veal cuts, which was quite (2) a sacrifice to him; the Abattoir was to do the cleaning work under the verbal agreement; but under the contract he is to do it; (3) the minimum for bones was one cent per pound, to go upward with the market; now the contract provides that he will go below if the market dropped. In addition, he stated he was asked to raise the minimum $100 per month rental. Councilman Bechtol stated the City was making an investment that it must recoup which could not be done on a $100.00 monthly minimum on a five year lease. The Abattoir Superintendent listed figures of gross income realized from Mr. Brooks' operations during the period of July 1959, through December 1960: Slaughtering charges (16,607 head) Storage (above the two free days) $45,275 4,544 Rent ($500 maximum; $100 minimum through December) 8,009 $57,829 Operations 38,121 Sale of By-Products realized from Mr. Brooks' Total Gross Revenue from Boning Room Operations $95,951 Listed also was the amount spent during 1960 in connection with the boning room operations--Improvements to the Second Floor cooler, $6,498; Freezing platform, $2,936, and Extension to the boning room, which took in the old Office, $4,000; totalling $13,434. There was a $1600 expenditure for a fence. The City Manager pointed out that the $4,000 was the amount to be spent now, and the rest of the $15,000 had been spent sometime before and had been recouped. Figures were also submitted on the amount of rent which fell below the maximum, and the amount of rent that could have been realized had there been no maximum. Suggestions of changing the contract were made. After detailed discussion, Councilman Perry moved that the City Manager be authorized to enter into a contract with Mr. Brooks on the terms outlined in the tentative contract except that it shall be a five year term with a 60 day termination notice by either party. The motion, seconded by Councilman Bechtol, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Bechtol, Perry, Mayor Pro-tem Palmer Noes: None Absent: Mayor Miller Not in Council Room when was taken: Councilman White = CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 59 59 The Superintendent of the Abattoir inquired if he were authorized, as soon as the addition was completed, to let Mr. Brooks move in on the $615 rental. Mayor Pro-tem Palmer stated he was. Regarding the contract, Councilman White stated there was a provision that the City would furnish a steam hose, and he did not want that included. Councilman White moved that the Council reconsider their vote and that the City Manager be authorized to execute a contract with a 60-day written notice of cancellation and delete the provision that obligates the City to furnish the hose. The motion, seconded by Councilman Perry, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Bechtol, Perry, White, Mayor Pro-tem Palmer Noes: None Absent: Mayor Miller Councilman Perry moved that the City Manager be requested to make a report on the following fees and charges in time for this Council to take action: ABATTOIR CEMETERY CREAMERY INSPECTIONS T.

The City Manager reviewed the Capital Improvement Plan listing projects set up, and projects set up and completed, and those listed in 1959-60 which were proposed to be done. After a very detailed study of the projects set up for 1960- 1961, Councilman Bechtol moved that the City Manager be authorized to proceed with the projects for BRENTWOOD SCHOOL, $4,000.00; NORTHWEST PARK, $5,000.00; PERRY PLAYGROUND, $2,000.00; CIVITAN PLAYGROUND, $20,000.00; BARTHOLOMEW PARK, $27,000.00; totalling $58,000.00; and that the Garden Center be taken out, and that $27,000.00 of this $40,000.00 be put into BARTHOLOMEW PARK; and that a _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 60 study of locating the Garden center be made. The motion, seconded by Councilman Perry, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Noes: Councilmen Bechtol, Perry, White, Mayor Pro-tem Palmer None Absent: Mayor Miller Councilman Bechtol asked that Item 16, Land New Golf Course; Item 20 River Front; Item 22, Land North District Park; Item 23 Land South District Park; and Item 14 Golf, be taken out of the Recreation Expenditures and given to the City Manager for control; and that the Director of Recreation be told to proceed with everything else except Item 18 Garden Center, and that $27,000 of that be applied to Item 10, Bartholomew Park, and the balance of the $13,000 be set up as Item 41 for land purchase for school playground development listed. The Director of Recreation had stated earlier that the participation in the development of the St. John Playground, St. Elmo Playground, Oak Springs Park, Reilly Playground, and T.A. Brown Playground, would depend upon agreements to be worked out with the Schools. Councilman Bechtol stated that there were no provisions for the Garden Center for five years; and suggested that in the river front development, the south end of East Avenue from Holly Street down to the River would make an ideal garden center. Discussion of relocating the little house east of the Interregional Bridge was held. The Chief of Police stated if the Police Department is to patrol the lake, the house would be used as patrol headquarters, and the location was ideal; but the house was not important to the Police Department unless there was a slip there. The Director of Recreation stated there was no need for the house there, but should there ever be needed a caretaker's house at Bartholomew Park, the house might be moved there. Councilman Bechtol moved that the Recreation Department be allowed to move the house to Bartholomew Park for a caretaker's house, if it so desires. The motion, seconded by Councilman Perry, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Bechtol, Perry, White, Mayor Pro-tem Palmer Noes: None Absent: Mayor Miller The Council took under consideration again the annexation of Mr. Nelson Puett's two subdivisions, ALLANDALE TERRACE SECTION 2, and ALLANDALE TERRACE SECTION 2, Phase 2. The City Manager explained a possible development of the tract of land left out of the land to be annexed, stating that it was important right now to decide whether or not a bridge would be needed; and in his opinion there should be a bridge. Mayor Pro-tem Palmer stated he would contact Mr. Puett and see if he would dedicate the road and participate. Councilman Bechtol moved that the City Manager be instructed to contact Mr. NELSON PUETT in regard to the annexation of ALLANDALE TERRACE SECTION 2, and ALLANDALE TERRACE SECTION 23 Phase 2, and inform him that the Council feels that access across Shoal Creek is wholly related to the annexation of these two subdivisions, and that the annexation of the two subdivisions be conditioned upon access being worked out on Twin Oaks Drive and Shoal Creek Boulevard, and that the area adjacent to Shoal Creek = CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 61 be included in a revised subdivision to be annexed. The motion lost for lack of a second. No action was taken on the Resolution authorizing change of name from ROBERT L. RAGSDALE to RAGSDALE AVIATION SERVICE, INC. The City Attorney distributed to each member of the Council a copy of a report from the Legislative Council regarding Annexation. It was announced that District 14 would have a public hearing on the Montopolis Loop on January 18th. There being no further business, the Council adjourned at 7:10 P.M., subject to the call of the Mayor. ATTEST: El City Clerk osley APPROVED Low to & Pan Mayor Pro-tem
