=CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS MINUTES OF THE CITY COUNCIL CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Regular Meeting June 14, 1962 10:00 Α.Μ. Council Chamber, City Hall 580 The meeting was called to order with Mayor Palmer presiding. Roll call: Present: Councilmen Perry, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Absent: Councilman Armstrong Present also: S. Reuben Rountree, Acting City Manager; Doren R. Eskew, City Attorney; Barent Rosen, Acting Chief of Police Church. Invocation was delivered by REV. KENNETH CLARK, St. Michael's Episcopal The Council by rising vote adopted a Resolution in honor of the life and service of MR. LEO MUELLER, and that a page be set apart in the official minutes of the City Council upon which shall be spread this Resolution. MR. H. P. ALLEN reported a situation of apartment house owners' furnishing the utilities, and having to pay the garbage fee perhaps on vacant apartments, while rooming houses with two and a half times more occupants pay only $2.50 or $3.75, as compared to his $10.00 for his eight apartments. MR. ALLEN stated he did not believe there is any way the garbage assessments could be made on an equitable basis other than by the number of cans concerned. The Mayor suggested that Mr. Allen write down his suggestions and mail them to the City Manager's Office, and the City Manager would accumulate them and the Council will look at the problems the citizens are having, and try to analyze them. MRS. LEON DONN stated the Council studied the supply of gas for the Power Plant from November 1959 until April 1960, and there was a great deal of consideration on the part of each and every Councilman; but so far as the Southern Union Gas rates are concerned, she did not know whether or not as much thought had gone into the rates the people had to pay that went into this other. She noted the City had hired a geologist on the question of the supply of gas, but the Council did not consider it necessary to hire an expert in the field of studying the rates that the consumer is to pay for gas to be delivered to the individual consumer. She stated an economist was needed to tell what the rates should be as far as the consumer was concerned. It was her recommendation that the City Council should CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 581 recommend to the State Legislature that a Public Services Commission be established, so that the people could have some Commission to appeal to for regulation of rates throughout the State and not depend upon each individual City Council throughout the State. She asked the Council to postpone voting on the Gas Rate Ordinance and to consider the thoughts she had thrown in for it to consider. MR. ARTHUR MITCHELL, representing MR. WHIT ELZNER, Contractor, appeared before the Council regarding a retaining wall on the southeast corner of San Jacinto and 12th Street, stating Mr. Elzner had purchased the lease just recently; and in improving the property he had increased the height of the retaining wall, which had been there for years, and he was then notified that the wall was on City property. The Acting City Manager, MR. REUBEN ROUNTREE, stated Mr. Elzner had been asked to furnish a plan showing how far the wall extended over the line, and the Department of Public Works wanted to check it out. MR. ELZNER stated he had improved the looks of the property, had added to the existing wall to keep the dirt from washing down; and had spent $6,000 on improving this lot. To Councilman White's questions, Mr. Elzner stated he did not know the wall was in the street; that he was applying for a permit to cut the curb out to widen the drive, and the Inspectors noticed the wall was in the street and that he did obtain a remodeling permit to remodel the entire premises. He stated his Job Superintendent had told the Building Inspector everything they were planning to do. The Acting City Manager stated there was a traffic hazard on 12th and San Jacinto; there may be utility lines in the area; the sidewalk area is used for parking, and is paved with asphalt, which is not permissible in the sidewalk areas; and he had no request for widening the drive on San Jacinto as yet. The Mayor stated the Director of Public Works would check this from an Engineering standpoint; the Council would go by and look at it, and the Traffic Department will check from a traffic standpoint. Mr. Mitchell stated an agreement would be made that at any time the City wanted access, they would remove the wall; and also bind the purchaser to make that stipulation should the lease ever be transferred. The Building Inspector said a permit was taken out to remodel an old building; and at no time did he know of any remodeling of a wall, and he had no jurisdicition over anything outside the property line; and this was not an oversight of the Building Inspector. The Mayor explained it was Mr. Elzner's responsibility to determine where his property line was as to the wall itself. He said more traffic was being channelled by there, and it was necessary to remove as many traffic hazards as possible, and this is one thing that was to be checked through the Traffic Department. MR. DICK PETTWAY stated something of a permanent nature should be considered in honor of former MAYOR TOM MILLER who had done more for the community than anyone living or dead. People think some dédication steps should be made and have sent in some checks. He asked if this could be under City auspices, these checks could be tax deductible. He would like to have the money donated to the City. He stated it was felt that some memorial to Mayor Miller should be erected. The Mayor stated this matter would be referred to the City Attorney, and thanked Mr. Pettway for his suggestion. The Mayor announced that MRS. CLAUDE HILL had accepted the local Chairmanship of United Nations Day, and expressed appreciation for her serving the City in that capacity. 582 =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Councilman White moved that the Minutes of the Meeting of June 7, 1962, be approved.

The City Attorney stated the City was not assured it would be certified if this ordinance is passed, but it is assured it will not be certified if the ordinance does not pass. MR. ROSS BLUMENTRITT discussed Urban Renewal and stated he was opposed to taking any funds from the Federal Government. The Mayor explained the various aspects of urban renewal, and that the City could not help in the refinancing of the projects under Sections 220 and 221. He explained federal funds were used in many other areas--highways, airport, etc. The Acting City Manager submitted a request for sonstruction of the new screen at the DELWOOD DRIVE-IN THEATRE, by MR. EDDIE JOSEPH. The Building Inspec tor stated the plans were drawn by a structural engineer and met with all the building code requirements, and it was his recommendation the proposal be accepted.

The Mayor announced he had petitions signed by approximately 1500 city employees expressing thanks and appreciation to the Council for the pay raise which will become effective July 6, 1962, and expressing belief the pay raise is just and equitable to all; and stating they recognized the hard decision the Council had to make to finance the pay raise. The petition also stated the signers were not among those the Council heard of that were dissatisfied with this pay raise plan. The Mayor expressed appreciation to those employees who were pleased with thenpay raise; and stated the Council had tried to be fair with all of the employees. He said this was a fine expression of the employees' gratitude by sending in these petitions. The Assistant City Manager submitted a letter from MR. A. S. HUEL, West Lake Optimist Club, asking permission to use the area in front of the Auditorium between the Auditorium and River for a circus which they want to bring in from Houston. They want the use of the area without charge, as they are raising money for the Optimist Club in West Lake Hills, It was noted never was a circus permitted in this area before. The matter was referred to the Assistant City Manager to check and obtain more information. =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS- 597 The Assistant City Manager stated he had a Memorandum from the Director of Recreation regarding the July 4th Celebration at Zilker Park, sponsored both by the Junior Chamber of Commerce and the Recreation Department. He stated last year the insurance on the fireworks which the Jaycees purchased, cost $326.00 for $10,000 property damage and $100-$300,000 Public Liability. This year the Acme Fire Works Company in Fort Worth can obtain the insurance on $100-$200,000 Liability and $50,000 Property Damage at about $60.00. He asked if the Council wanted to participate again in this celebration, and whether it wanted to take this $100-$200-$50 insurance at $60.00 or go the same route as last year at $300. The Mayor stated it was a justifiable expense for the Recreation Department to work along with the Jaycees to take care of the 4th of July crowd.

The same request that the median strip be removed had been made several times during the past six or seven years. The report pointed out this was the only existing boulevard in town which actually met the required standards. The Assistant City Manager stated the Traffic Engineer concurred with the Council in that left turn lanes be put at every cross street; but for several reasons, any left turn lane in between would be a very hazardous situation, as making U-turns at these left turns in between the intersection would make it impossible for an automobile to complete a U-turn and stay within the confines of the pavement. He added 16 left turn lanes to include intersections that have been developed. A strip map was submitted. Councilman Perry asked that a copy of the Traffic Engineer Report be sent to Mr. Eddie Joseph. The Acting City Manager stated these 16 additional left turn lanes would run about $8,000 and they can be put in as the need arises.

The Assistant City Manager had a copy of the Congressional Record, and called this nice honor to the Council's attention. Councilman Perry asked that the Council members be furnished copies of the Article. The Assistant City Manager said the Council had been requested to grant permission for the use of a portion of the sand beach reserve for the Little League Base Ball Field by the South Austin Colt League, and the request was referred to the Lake Study Committee and the Planning Commission. The recommenda- tion of those two Committees plus that of the Parks and Recreation Board was that the request be granted. The Director of Recreation recommended that the City work closely with this grouptto be sure it has financial means to develop this field. The request was filed by Junior Baseball, Inc., Southwest Austin Colt League. Councilman Perry asked that the group be requested to submit evidence of their stability and financial standing, and the method by which they propose to finance this. Councilman Perry said the Council could say it would approve this, since these other groups had approved it, if the Junior Baseball, Inc. can satisfy the Director of Recreation and City Manager on the financial status.
