January 9, 1964 :: ☑ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS The City Manager stated each member of the Council received a copy of the "Emergency Operation Plan". Following is a copy of the Plan Promulgation: "AUSTIN AND TRAVIS COUNTY EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN PROMULGATION .' it is an emergency function of "Civil Defense is not an organization government requiring planning and organization to perfect the capability of accomplishment. The responsibility for implementing Civil Defense functions falls upon the Executive Heads of Federal, State and Local Governments either inherently or by delegation. "The objective of American Civil Defense is the provision, maintenance and continual development of an American National Survival Capability, designed to protect the lives of the American people and to preserve the American Way of Life under all possible emergency conditions intrinsic to our times and under such additional emergency conditions as may develop in the future. "The preservation of life and property is a fundamental responsibility of government at Federal, State and Local levels. Thorough evaluation of possible conditions of natural disaster, major accidental disaster and enemy attack all inherent to the nuclear age in which we now live has established the conclusion that this fundamental responsibility of government can be implemented only through practical advance planning and practical advance preparation, at all governmental levels. -- "The concept of Austin-Travis County Civil Defense is that an adequate local civil defense consists of the Local Government, the Community, the Family and the Individual Citizen all educated, trained, organized and equipped to survive under all emergency conditions which may be generated by natural disaster, major accidental disaster and enemy attack. "In accordance with guidance and support provided by Federal and State levels of government, the local government is responsible for the maintenance of a qualified local civil defense coordinative agency within its organizational framework and for the maintenance and development of the Local Survival Capability through implementation of a local civil defense program designed to provide the essential factors of education, planning, warning, shelter and recovery. "Local leaders of industry, commerce and other non-governmental enterprises are responsible for planning and executing measures designed to augment the local survival capability and to assure the continued functioning or rapid recovery of the essential elements of the local economy. "Professional, labor, service, religious, civic and social organizations are responsible for maximum augmentation of the local survival capability within their respective capacities. "In accordance with guidance, education, training and facility support provided through the local civil defense program, families and individual citizens ☑ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 9, 1964 are responsible for their own emergency preparedness and for maximum implementation of the local survival capability within their respective capacities. "Pursuant to a series of joint agreements commencing in 1950 and extending to the present date, the City of Austin and the County of Travis have entered into a joint civil defense endeavor, designed to maintain and develop an adequate local survival capability and to assure a constant state of emergency readiness. "The City Manager, City of Austin, is hereby designated Director of Civil Defense for Austin and Travis County, Texas. "Agencies of the City and County Governments shall plan, prepare and implement the execution of the Austin-Travis County Emergency Operations Plan as assigned by the Director of Civil Defense. "The Emergency Organization Chart as indicated in APPENDIX 1 of this plan has been developed through augmentation of the normal governmental organization of the City of Austin. It will be activated, maintained and deactivated, as required, by the Director of Civil Defense. It will be implemented by corresponding elements of City and County governments upon the basis of coordination control. "This Emergency Operations Plan supersedes the Operational Survival Plan for Austin-Travis County dated October 1958. غ MAYOR City of Austin "Date Date COUNTY JUDGE County of Travis The City Manager stated this was a joint City-County Operation, and the Commissioners Court approved the plan of action in emergency situations. He reviewed briefly the plan. After discussion, Councilman LaRue moved that the Council adopt the plan as submitted by the City Manager. The motion, seconded by Councilman Long, carried by the following vote: Councilmen LaRue, Long, White, Mayor Palmer Ayes: Noes: None Absent: Councilman Shanks The City Manager stated a Memorandum from the Director of Recreation had _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS: January 9, 1964 been received, concerning the name of the area on which the Austin Garden Center is developing. The Austin Area Garden Center, Inc., is considering a change in their constitution and bylaws, which will mean a change of their name. They suggest the name of Austin Botanical Gardens. The recommendation of the Director of Recreation was that the area be called ZILKER BOTANICAL GARDENS. Although it will be quite sometime before the City will be developing botanical gardens, and such a name might not be appropriate at the present time, in due time there will be such gardens and the Recreation Director recommends that the area be || called "ZILKER BOTANICAL GARDENS". Mayor Palmer asked Councilman Long to work on this. :: The City Manager stated it was necessary to select engineers for Water Treatment Plant No. 3 which is to be located west of the Tom Miller Dam and south of Red Bud Trail on city owned property. The Superintendent of the Water and Sewage Treatment, had explored this thoroughly and he would like to recommend the use of a joint operation between Black & Veatch Engineers, Kansas City and the former firm of Marvin Turners Engineers, now called BRYANT-CURRINGTON ENGINEERS. They have submitted two proposals--one for a cost plus with a ceiling, and the other with a lump sum. It was decided a better approach would be to use the lump sum proposal which was less than the ceiling would be on the cost plus proposal. This would be a three and a half million dollar plant. After discussion, Councilman Long moved that the City Manager enter into a con- tract with these Engineers for this Water Treatment Plant No. 3, and that he be authorized to use the lump sum of $145,000. The motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following vote: Councilmen LaRue, Long, White, Mayor Palmer Ayes: Noes: None Absent: Councilman Shanks The City Manager reported that the Director of Water and Sewer, MR. VIC SCHMIDT, and the Superintendent of Water and Sewage Plant, MR. AL ULLRICH, had discussed some preliminary work that needs to be done in connection with the design of a sewer line to serve the Dry Creek Area. On the design itself, they want to wait, but they need some preliminary work as a separate feasibility study as to the route of the line and which of several methods will be the most desirable to pursue. One possibility would be to carry the line along the outer edge of Mount Bonnell Bluff; another would be to tunnel through Mount Bonnell, or to accept the higher operating cost of a lift station. Which plan from the point of view of the initial investment and operating cost later is what needs to be studied. Also, when the building of Water Treatment Plant No. 3 is under way, there is the matter of tying it into the water system of the City in South Austin. The feeder line will be a 60" pipe which will cost over $100.00 a foot or about $500,000 a mile. The Mayor asked if that study would be one and the same. The City Manager stated Mr. Schmidt and Mr. Ullrich have recommended _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS: January 9, 1964 that the firm of BLACK AND VEATCH make that preliminary study, and that they be paid 15% of what their usual engineering fee would be. Councilman Long stated she would be for drilling through the mountain on the Mount Bonnell work. The City Manager briefly described sewage collection system for the area on the north side of Mount Bonnell and west of Mount Barker, etc., which would have to be served by a system which would converge ultimately near the mouth of Dry Creek. Councilman Long moved that the City Manager be instructed to enter into an agreement as outlined by him, with BLACK & VEATCH, at 15% of the usual fee for this preliminary work. The motion, seconded by Councilman LaRue, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Noes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, White, Mayor Palmer None Absent: Councilman Shanks The City Manager said the City Attorney had an additional report regarding a grazing lease on the Walnut Creek area property. The City Attorney said Mr. Alton Weiss would need a minimum of a two year lease if he build fences. The Superintendent of Water and Sewage Treatment, Mr. Ullrich, said he could assure that the 100 acre woodland area which Mr. Weiss wanted to lease would not be needed by the City for two years. Mr. Weiss offered to lease the property for two years at $3.50 per acre for 1964, and $4.00 per acre for 1965. He would have to build his own fence and remove it at his own cost. The City Attorney explained the recapture clause should the City require Mr. Weiss to give up possession of the lease. After discussion, Councilman LaRue moved that the City lease to MR. ALTON WEISS this property at $3.50 per acre for 1964, and $4.00 per acre for 1965, retroactive to January 1, 1964. The motion, seconded by Councilman Long, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None Absent: Councilman Shanks The Mayor suggested that this was only for grazing purposes and not for the sale of any top soil. The City Attorney explained it was going to be necessary to buy eight acres from Mr. Sanstrom in this area. It is property on the creek. The City Manager explained that the contract with JACK A MILLER had been extended to a greater extent that was included in the original contract. The unit price for this size pipe was lower than any other bid received for that type of pipe installed. The Director of Public Works stated this was in an area where there was $25,000 set up in the budget for a storm sewer system. This area is between Manor Road, 19th Street, and east of Chicon. The Director of Public Works stated the 48" pipe was put in all the way across 22nd Street down Poquito down to the alley, south of 21st Street and East of Poquito. There is still some more to be done when the plans are complete. The City Manager stated this work was to have been done anyway, but the problem is that it was added to this contract, and it was not passed to the Council for approval. The Director of Public ! : CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 9, 1964 Works stated the aditional pipe will increase, or make the change order about $7,055. The pipe was installed ahead of schedule.
