The motion, seconded by Councilman Shanks, carried by the following vote: =CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS:== April 18, 1963 Ayes: Noes: Councilmen Armstrong, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer None Absent: Councilman Perry The Mayor announced that the ordinance had been finally passed. The Council had before it consideration of awarding contract for one fully hydraulically operated truck mounted crane. The Mayor stated this was postponed last week to see whether or not separate bids on trucks were taken as some manufacturers make special concessions to cities, counties and state governments. Councilman Armstrong said the manufacturer who supplied the hydraulic equipment could buy a truck if it were earmarked for a municipality and get a concession, and that his question was whether or not the concession had been applied for. He stated the City saved $1600-1800 on fire trucks by sending the trucks to the fire-truck people who put their equipment on them. He believed there would be a savings on a truck to the City from $300 to $375; and many times the equipment people buy trucks earmarked for municipalities and have the concessions, and the companies put the specialties on the trucks, and the cities can have the concession if they apply for them. The Mayor suggested that the City Manager write to this firm and ask if there is a concession and if it were considered in the bid to the City of Austin. Later in the afternoon meeting, the City Manager said the hydraulic lift dealer had been contacted, and in turn called the dealer that was to furnish the truck; and they said they had already given one!! concession, but they agreed to give another one of $150.00. Councilman Shanks inquired if a discount were being given, or just a cut in price. Councilman Armstrong stated it came out of the concession, as the price could not be reduced that much. The Mayor suggested rejecting all bids and seeing how much the prices could be cut. Councilman Shanks moved that the bids be rejected and call for new bids. Councilman White seconded the motion. The Council discussed the specifications, the bids received, future wording of the specifications to assure these con cessions, and the possibility of giving the other bidders a chance to include the concession. After detailed discussion, Councilman Armstrong offered a substitute motion that the contract be awarded Utility Equipment Company, the low bidder, and take advantage of the $150.00 that was offered. The motion died for lack of a second. Councilman Shanks believed the other bidders would give the full concession of $375 that the City is entitled to receive. The Assistant City Manager in- quired what procedure the Purchasing Department could use to be assured to get this concession. Councilman Armstrong suggested asking first if a truck could be purchased on the outside and sent to the equipment company and have the equipment installed; or if they have a truck already it could be purchased right there if the concession would apply. Roll call on the original motion that the bids be rejected and call for new bids, showed the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Perry*, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: Councilman Armstrong *Councilman Perry was present for a part of the afternoon meeting. Mayor Palmer made the following statement concerning his vote: "We were told the concession was approximately $350 or $375 if the trucks are in Texas, and theCouncil ought _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 18, 1963 to try for that other $200 and do that much better for the City, so I vote for rejecting the bid."

COUNCILMAN SHANKS made a report on a meeting he, the City Manager and the Director of Public Works had with the School Board regarding the access roads to Joslin School and St. Elmo School, stating the two schools were placed relatively chose together, and the only access to them, whereby they could be used jointly is Ben White Boulevard. He recalled the School Board had brought to the Council's attention the fact it would like to use these schools a little differently than they are being used, and that the facilities could be put to more apt use if there were better transportation arteries between the two. As it is, there is no access except over Ben White Boulevard to get to both schools. The Council, after analyzing the situation had suggested bridging the Missouri-Pacific track, which involves a considerable amount of money, and then suggested that he get with the School Board to see what could be worked out. Councilman Shanks said in this meeting, Mr. Irby Carruth and members of the School Board, he, the City Manager, and Director of Public Works, believed they had worked out an arrangement whereby this bridge could be constructed over the Missouri Pacific ( CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 18, 1963 31 Boulevard and make access to both St. Elmo and Joslin Schools where it could be used as the school people wanted; and at the same time open up a new artery of transportation for the people in South Austin. Councilman Shanks stated, although this had taken a little time as there was some money involved, the Schools had replied in a very favorable manner. He asked the Director of Planning to show the proposed streets and bridge. The Planning Director explained on the map the proposals. The City Manager gave the estimated cost of construction of the bridge and land transactions stating the schools would participate 50-50. Councilman Shanks stated the School Board and administration and those the City had met with were most cooperative, and it is fine to have that feeling of cooperation with each other. The City Manager said these access roads would enable the Schools to set a new boundary between the schools so that the children closest to St. Elmo would be able to cross the bridge and go to that school, rather than having to go the hongest distance. The City Manager explained the Schools were confronted with overcrowding at Joslin School when additional facilities on this site were added, unless this access way could be worked out; and for this reason, the Schools would participate in this project so they could better divide the territory between the two schools. He stated it would be neces sary to get the plans drawn and approved by the Railroad. The Schools would like to have it completed by January 1, 1964, so the realignment of the boundary could be made. The Mayor stated this was a fine project and that Councilman Shanks was the Council's representative on matters pertaining to the Schools and the City, and the Council was happy this kind of arrangement had been agreed upon. Councilman Shanks moved that the City Manager be authorized to work with the Schools and the Railroad Company on this project. The motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Armstrong, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None Absent: Councilman Perry MAYOR PALMER stated along with this additional access, the City should check with the Bus Company, as it had said if there were any way of crossing the railroad, the company would provide the service. He said there had been a group from the Park Forest area inquiring about bus service. Councilman White said MR. VAN DYKE, on 1606 New York Avenue, stated there was one from the Urban Renewal Office that was telling the people they were going to have to move, and he was upset about it. The City Manager stated if he were referring to the Kealing Project, that the plan had been approved by the Urban Renewal Commission, and that Mr. Van Kyke was present at the meeting of the Commission and made several inquiries. He said Mr. Van Dyke and several in the area were concerned about closing Angelina Street next to Rosewood, and it had been in the plan to close it so as to eliminate the heavy traffic, and it was thought this would be a betterment to the neighborhood; but it makes no difference to the Board nor from a planning view point. If the property owners themselves do not prefer to close it, it would make no difference. In the area where the City has to buy right-of-way for another street, it may be that some of the property owners living in the area may have been told of this plan. The Mayor suggested that Councilman White be sure to contact Mr. Van Dyke and invite him to the public hearing on May 6th.
