The Mayor said it was the thought of the Council in 1955 that a financial advisor would save the city some money; and that Mr. Jackson's help and his working with the rating houses, Austin has certainly benefitted.

The Director of Public Works reported he and MR.TOM PERKINS inspected the location with the idea of doubling the width of one ramp and constructing another one. Along with this request was a suggestion that the travel- ed roadway to the ramp be graded and worked down. The estimated cost involved for doubling one ramp making it 24x28, and building another ramp 12x35 plus grading would total $500.00. He stated in his conversation with the County Commissioner it might be worked out where he would take care of the road and maintaining it periodically.

The City Manager stated it was the City's responsibility to acquire the right-of-way and it will be reimbursed 50% from the Highway Department; and in this case 25% from the County.

The motion, seconded by Councilman Armstrong, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Armstrong, Perry, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None The City Manager stated the Director of Public Works had a report to make on the sanitary fill in Zilker Park. The Director of Public Works showed an aerial map of the area of the present sanitary fill in Zilker Park, stating this was about completed, and the day routes were scheduled out to the Steiner Field and he was holding this Zilker Park fill for the night routes only. He pointed out another area he would like to use (the site discussed for a sunken garden). He said it would be eight or ten years before it would be developed as a sunken garden; and by then there would be some rich soil that could be excavated to put on the parks and playgrounds. Right now he wanted to use this site, starting from the river and reclaiming some of the property. The City Manager pointed out there would be a cyclone fence with corrugated iron sheeting around it. The Council wanted to go look at the area on the ground. The Council greeted and welcomed MR. DANIEL KILLEN, and CAPTAIN BREWER, a student at the University of Texas.

Jordan Building Official The motion, seconded by Councilman Shanks, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Armstrong, Perry, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None The City Manager stated he had a report on the "Major-major" classification fee. Councilman White moved that the following rates be adopted as recommended by the Hospital Board, the Administrator, and the City Manager, effective immediately First Hour Each additional 15 min. Minor $20 $3 Major $30 $ 3 Major-Major $35 $5 The motion, seconded by Councilmen Armstrong, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Armstrong, Perry, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None Councilman Shanks stated MR. JESS KELLAM and MR. WARREN WOODWARD approached him regarding connecting in a line from their muzak to all of their center outlets with the Public Safety system; thus enabling important announcements to be made throughout the system. The Chief of Police pointed out the possibilities of announcing emergencies, flooding rains, etc. He said there was a $100.00 one-time charge for connecting, and $5.00 a month for line lease, which would be used for civil defense. Councilman Shanks said it was something that should be looked into The Mayor asked that Mr. Woodward be contacted and asked to present this to the City Manager for recommendation. The City Attorney brought up the question of the property in the Lamar Shopping Center on 12th Street, which the City was considering selling to the adjoining owner. The City Manager stated during the last discussion, it was suggested that possibly the City should consider the amount of rental. The Mayor suggested that the appraisal be made, and then it would be known how much rental or how much to sell the property for; also it is necessary to check to see how far he is encroaching on city property. The Council recessed until 2:30. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 96 RECESSED MEETING 2:30 Ρ.Μ. At 2:30 P.M. the Council resumed its business. Councilman White was absent due to illness. Mayor Palmer stated he had given considerable thought of either going in on a larger deductible factor on the city's insurance, or on self-insurance, to see if some money could be saved. MR. HARRY MONTANDON, MR. BILL SHACKLEFORD, MR. BILL GAMMON, MR. ED SHELTON, MR. TOM GRAHAM, City Advisory Board of the Austin Association of Insurance Agents, and MR. FOREST MCPHAUL, U.S.F.&G. representative, were present. MR. SHELTON discussed the Association which is comprised of 50 agencies, including partners, and which is designed for educational purposes and contains a Board of Placement. He said the city had been besieged constantly with a number of agents, each trying to write a small portion of business, and there was no central coordinating point. He explained how different agents handled different phases of public insurance, and how each service agent was paid a fee for his services, such fee coming from commissions from the business. The Commission then goes into a trust fund which is used for civic improvements. The whole idea was to give the City the best insurance policy that could be devised for the amount of money. MR. SHACKLEFORD explained the servicing of the fire program, stating there were about 400 items constantly being changed, and listing what was covered under the fire schedule for a premium of approximately $19,000 and covered by U.S.F. & G. He said in 1960 the State Board of Insurance approved a 20% deviation. The city policies were rewritten at a 20% deviated figure. On the staggered plan, the city has four years' insurance by paying five annually at no interest. The values of the properties are questioned, as Mr. Shackleford believed some of the items are underinsured. Mr. Shackleford stated only $150,000 on the contents of the library are covered, and he believed there was a million dollars worth of books records, etc. The premium on this one item now is approximately $150.00. Mr. Shackleford asked that some one person be designated to discuss the insurance with the Committee. The City Manager designated the Finance Director. MR. SHACKLEFORD pointed out the premium was cut as low as anyone could possibly do it; there was a 20% deviation; most of the buildings were credited for public housing credit; and there is a good fire record of 15%. He listed the premiums on some of the buildings and fire stations. Councilman Perry stated he did not see how the City could afford to insure itself at those prices as listed. Mr. Shackleford said the City was on the low side on extended coverage. The Mayor said an overall picture of the program had been presented, and the Council had been thinking of studying this to see if it were getting the maximum amount of coverage at the best price, and to see if there might be some risk that it could take. Mr. Shackleford gave the experience of the losses during the last five year period, stating there had been $46,881.64 losses, with about $75,000 premium. The City Manager noted all of the losses had been small, with none amounting to $11,000. Had the $25,000 deductible been set up the company would have paid nothing on these. Councilman Shanks said the City was getting a lot of insurance for the amount of premium being paid, which was at an exceedingly low rate. Mayor Palmer stated at this moment, he believed the City was getting a lot for its money. He asked the Committee if it felt the City was getting the most coverage for the least amount of money that could possibly be worked out on this, and Mr. Shackleford answered that he did. Mayor Palmer stated he believed the Council was satisfied on the deductible issue 77 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 97 Mayor Palmer stated the Council had been approached by a number of the local people asking why some of this insurance could not be placed with them, and asked Mr. Shackleford if he had any comments. Mr. Shackleford said he took all of these requests to the Placement Board of the Association with his recommendation. He stated one company three years ago was given 20% of the schedule, but they did not help service their policy. They had an accounting office in Austin, but did not have a special agent, and he had to do business with their San Antonio office; and it ended up with the U.S.F. & G. Special agent servicing the entire policy for both companies. The policy with the local company was cancelled last year when U.S.F. & G. went on 20% deviation, and the other company could not match this. Now this company has this 20% filing, but it is not identical with U.S.F. & G., and there is about a $200 or $300 difference on the fire premium. He explained should the other company have a portion, it would be double work on the Association. With regard to the company, Insurance Company of North America, Mr. Shackleford read Minutes of the meeting of the Association dated December 31, 1958. In discussing taxes paid by local companies as against those paid by U.S.F. & G., Councilman Perry suggested that U.S.F. & G. establish a branch office here. The Mayor suggested if there was only a small amount standing in the way, perhaps Mr. Shackleford could get with this other company and see if he could work it out and if he could get them some coverage without affecting the net cost of the city in any way. He suggested to Mr. Shackleford it would be good for Austin to encourage U.S.F. & G. to bring their headquarters here. Mr. Shackleford said out of the $130,000 insurance costs that the City was paying, the policies which he represented were the only ones that North America has made any move to have a portion of. The Mayor suggested that since Mr. Bill Gammon and Tom Graham write for I.N.A. that the company could meet with them and try to work something out. He stated the Council was pretty firm on the stand that it did not want any deductible, as discussed. In line with having adequate insurance coverage, the City Manager suggested that the Construction Engineer, Finance Director, and he make a review of the coverages with Mr. Shackleford and make a report back to the Council. The Mayor read a letter from MRS. CHARLES F. HERRING thanking the Council for one of its kind gestures. Councilman Shanks offered the following resolution and moved its adoption: (RESOLUTION) BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN: That W. T. Williams, Jr., City Manager, be and he is hereby authorized and directed to execute an agreement with International Business Machines Corporation for the lease of an I.B.M. 1401 Tape Data Prosessing System for an annual rental cost of $83,760.00; for the continued lease of certain presently leased I.B.M. equipment for an annual rental cost of $22,878.00; and for the discontinuation of the lease of certain I.B.M. equipment for a reduction of annual rental cost of $53,928.00; so that the additional annual rental cost for the City's new, enlarged, and improved I.B.M. machine records system shall not exceed the cost for the existing system by more than $29,832.00.
