MR. FRANK ERWIN came before the Council stating he had appeared last week in view of the fact that SOUTHERN UNION GAS COMPANY had taken advantage of a provision in its contract to cause the Council to decide what it will do about the next five years of the city's gas contract, and stated those who had expected to make a proposal at the close of the first five years were compelled to come forth at this time to acquaint the Council with their proposal. Mr. Erwin said he had filed a law suit against SOUTHERN UNION GAS COMPANY to have its contract declared void, and stated fundamentally the Southern Union Contract was not a fixed price contract, but had a price suggestion for the first five years, with only the first three of those five years having a ceiling. He said there was no way the Council could compare bids, but Southern Union is now talking about fixed price bids and coming to his point of view, and he would file a motion to have that law suit dismissed. Mr. Erwin filed with the Mayor six executed copies of a gas proposal which the COASTAL STATES GAS PRODUCING COMPANY had executed, and stated the proposal was firm and the City could now compare that with the one Southern Union had offered. An up-to-date annual statement would be furnished to replace the one filed, and it would be even more favorable because it would reflect the sales of gas to San Antonio. Mr. Erwin pointed out that the COASTAL STATES GAS PRODUCING COMPANY'S contract was more favorable to the City than that of Southern Union Gas Company's in that it offered the City 20 years of fixed prices as compared to their five years, and the City could go up to 1983 with fixed gas prices under this contract; that they had eliminated the gimmick in the Southern Union contract which said if a generator plant is added the City _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 692 has to negotiate with them about prices, as Coastal States' contract offers all the gas the City needs at the price stated in the contract at the time no matter what the City adds; that if the City is required to use fuel oil, Coastal States would pay the full amount of the cost of the fuel oil over and above what the gas would have cost; that Coastal States purchased gas at the State's measurement requirements of 14.65 per square inch and sold it at 14.65, in comparison to Southern Union's figure of 14.9 rather than the 14.65 which the city originally asked for. He distributed a chart to the Council members and explained it in detail. In setting out figures of the Coastal States Gas Producing Company for a five year period, Mr. Erwin stated over the best price Southern Union had quoted, the City could save $1,200,000. The Mayor read a letter from MR. JACK WARE, Vice President, Coastal States Gas Producing Company, stating Mr. Erwin had authority to present the proposal. Mayor Palmer thanked Mr. Erwin. Councilman Shanks moved that the City Manager be instructed to request from the SOUTHERN UNION GAS COMPANY an extension of 60 days to consider their proposal. (Extension of time from 8-10-62) The motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Armstrong, Perry, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None MR. FRANKLIN DENIUS, representing Southern Union Gas Company, stated there had been $535,000 saved by the City of Austin over Mr. Clint Small's figures. Mr. Denius said the Company had pleasant relationship with the City and was interested in supplying gas and would make every effort to do so. He said Southern Union Gas Company paid the City $300,000 per annum in ad valorem taxes, and has 235 employees with a payroll of $1,000,000. He said SOUTHERN UNION had made a firm 20 year contract with the City, and the City had the right to review its situation, but Southern Union is obligated to deliver to the City all of its gas requirements for 20 years, and they intended to live up to their obligation in the contract. Mayor Palmer stated the Council was interested in getting the best possible deal for the City of Austin, and it would look into all of them. MRS. LEON DONN stated Mr. Denius had claimed the City had saved $530,000 in the last few months, but the individual citizens were being taxed through increased gas rates and by the connection charge of $5.00. She said Southern Union had saved the community so much by not taking it from the General Fund, but taking a little more from the individuals in the community. The Mayor pointed out the Power Plant was owned by the citizens of Austin, and any savings would accrue to the citizens. Councilman White moved that the Minutes of the Meeting of July 12th, 1962, be approved.

BOW WILLIAMS inquired if there was a chance of getting a reduction of utility rates since it had been shown there was a savings on gas for the Power Plant. The City Manager stated that over 50% of the property in Austin was exempt from taxation, and possibly there was no other city in the country that has that situation. The profits from the Water and Light Department that can be made CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 706 available to help support the Hospital, Fire and Police result in a savings of taxes that would be necessary to take care of those services. MRS. LEON DONN and MR. BOW WILLIAMS discussed the matter briefly. The Mayor proclaimed TUESDAY, JULY 24, 1962, SKIPPERS DAY, of the Austin Aqua Festival, August 3 12th. - The Mayor read a communication that the MEMORIAL METHODIST CHURCH, 6100 Berkman Drive, had offered facilities of the Church for a permanent polling place in PRECINCT 132.

The City Manager read a letter from DR. RUTH ANN ERICSON, Neuropsychiatrist, Dallas, regarding the designation of race on admission sheets in Hospitals. The Mayor read a letter thanking the Council for the tribute bestowed upon former MAYOR PRO-TEM LEO MUELLER. The Mayor read a letter from Electra P. Malone, Staff Assistant to Regional Commissioner, Internal Revenue Service, thanking the Council and Chamber of Commerce for the assistance rendered, and announcing that MR. ERVIN B. OSBORN, Regional Service Center Director, would be in Austin Thursday and Friday interviewing applicants for positions. The City Manager stated the Director of Planning had a question of routing a future street not in the city limits by crossing property subject to development. The Director of Planning stated this was an extension of Pleasant Valley Road from Riverside Drive to Ben White Boulevard, and showed on a map the location of the present road to where it dead-ends at the south limit of the Steiner property, and possible locations of the road to tie into Burleson Road. One possibility would be to acquire a whole block of land before development takes place. He pointed out some drainage problems. Finally, after discussion, Councilman Shanks moved that the City Manager be authorized to negotiate for this land for the right-of-way with the idea of cooperating with the County in the development of a roadway.
