I would prefer that if any affirmative presentation is required from me that the matter be postponed for at least three or four more weeks. "However, if you feel that you have secured enough information from the hearings on the annexation and zoning of the adjacent Aus-Town tract and from the record without further affirmative presentation of information or argument from me then I will be more than glad for the annexation proposal to pass its third and final reading without my presence. Please understand we have no opposition to passage of the annexation measure at this time, we just are not prepared to support the matter today. -- "I have delivered a deed for the ten foot right of way to the City Attorney's office but the field notes on the two parts of the Springdale tract are not yet quite ready to be included in an ordnance for the Springdale tract that was rezoned last week.

The City Manager displayed a map, showing an area around Mountain Climb Drive and Sierra Drive to the intersection of Mesa Drive, and pointing out the 760 contour line stating the land about that contour line could not be served by the City's water system without booster stations. The land above that level needs to be served from the 1020' level reservoir, one of which has been acquired from Travis Williamson County Water District No. 1, which is designed for the 1020' level. He pointed out land which Mr. David Barrow owns or controls and the remaining land not under his ownership. The City Manager described the location of the approach main from the 1020' level reservoir on Spicewood Springs Road on through property which Mr. Barrow owns, most of the way along the route which would serve only a small part of his land, but would serve mostly the land owned by other people. The line would connect with Mr. Barrow's present system on Mesa Drive, and would be a rather large line. The City Manager discussed the ultimate plan stating as property develops and larger lines are available, the City would connect the high level system in this area back across Bull Creek Road to serve the high level area in Highland Park West, where a small booster station is now being operated. He described other plans in the area, and said ultimately this main would become one of the principle feeder lines in the City and would not only serve the land on the high plane but would connect and serve the Highland Park West land. The line involves a cost of $117,934. He discussed the method of the financing of approach mains, and recommended in this case that the developer proceed and build the line and pay for it, and the City reimburse him 79%, and the developer contribute 21% of the cost of the line. After further discussion, Mayor Palmer introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A CERTAIN CONTRACT WITH DAVID B. BARROW; FOR THE APPROPRIATION OF MONEY PAID TO THE CITY OF AUSTIN UNDER SUCH CONTRACT; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.

The motion, seconded by Councilman LaRue, carried = CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 23, 1964 by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None The Mayor announced that the ordinance had been finally passed. The Council had before it for further consideration the following zoning application: W. L. DRIGGS By J. T. Baumgardner 2254-2264 Redwood Avenue 3543-3549 Manor Road From "A" Residence To "GR" General Retail Recommended to POST- PONE by the Planning Commission The City Attorney reviewed this application, covering the right of way for Redwood Avenue and Pershing Drive; Mr. Baumgardner's willingness to sell the 79' x 153' vacant lot for $11,500, or the 20' x 150' strip for right of way for $6,500 with an agreement to have architectural control as provided on property on the other side of Redwood; and the appraised price of this property. He said Mr. Baumgardner felt the property would be diminished in value by its reduction in size, but the appraisers disagreed that there would be any severage damages because of the uniqueness and highest and best use of the property at this strategic location. The City Attorney stated the Council was interested in an amend- ment to the Zoning Text that would permit special permits to be granted for use of property in new zones to be created where the value of the property itself in a large measure was derived from a public facility such as the Airport, in order to protect the mutual value of both the City and other land owners. MR. J. T. BAUMGARDNER said his clients had $11,600 in the corner lot now, and they were not interested in selling the property, but wanted the land zoned. The City Attorney stated there was consideration that part or all of this property should be publicly owned, and that suggestion had been explored. The question before the Council is whether or not this is the type of zoning that ought to be permitted, and if the public facilities such as streets are wide enough to justify the type of zoning. Councilman Long stated it was known there would have to be a wider street; and if the Council zoned this property and let it be used, and then came back later for widening the right of way, it would be doing the City a disservice as well as the property owners. Councilman White stated it seemed that this zoning should be voted if it needs to be zoned and if this is the proper zoning, and forget about buying it when zoning it; then later deal with Mr. Baumgardner about buying it; and if no agreement could be reached, the Council could always condemn. Councilman White stated he could not see holding this zoning up. The Director of Planning stated the recommendation was for a 90' street and also that possibly special controls should be placed on this property. MR. BAUMGARDNER stated the property which was granted "GR" General Retail across the street from this property sold for more than $14,000 an acre; and the KARL SCHMIDT property sold for approximately $14,000 also. The City Attorney stated the $14,000 an acre figure used, was in error; as the City paid $70,000 for almost 15 acres, which would be about $5,000 an acre with the Schmidt home and all the improvements on the property. That amounts to $5,000 an acre instead of $14,000 an acre. Councilman Shanks suggested acquiring the 20' needed and zoning the remainder of the property. The City Manager pointed out the necessity of controls on the appearance of the improvements. Mr. Baumgardner stated he had no objec) CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS January 23, 1964 Σι tions and he would accept restrictions. The Planning Director recommended placing the area from Anchor Lane to the Golf Course under the special permit features. Councilman long inquired of Mr. Baumgardner about the Council's acquiring the 20' right of way and then zoning the remainder of the property with restrictions. Mr. Baumgardner agreed, stating they could not give the 20' for right of way. The City Attorney said Mr. Baumgardner would have to be paid a sufficient amount for a binding covenant so that there would be the same kind of covenant on this property that there is on the property across the street, and a formal covenant would have to be entered into. MR. BAUMGARDNER stated he had seen this covenant and it was objectionable. The City Attorney said Mr. Baumgardner claimed it was his opinion that more than one-half of the value of the property would be destroyed by widening the street, and he wanted to be compensated by more than one-half of the property in saying he would reluctantly accept less than $11,500 and $6,500 is more than one-half for the 20'. It this is the case, it might be the Council would prefer the whole tract. Mr. Baumgardner stated he could not take a loss on the property; if they sold it for $11,600, they would be taking a loss, and it was worth more money. He said he paid $10,600 plus interest, taxes and closing costs. The Mayor stated if severance damages were involved, after the zoning is done, he would suggest buying the whole tract. Councilman LaRue preferred acquiring the 20' off the front with the covenants. Mr. Baumgardner stated the 59' would be worth as much as the whole tract is worth in time. Finally, after more discussion, Councilman Shanks moved that the City Manager be authorized to acquire this corner lot. The motion, seconded by Councilman Long, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None Councilman Shanks offered the following resolution and moved its adoption: (RESOLUTION) WHEREAS, there has been submitted to the Building Inspector, the application of Mr. Louis Laibovitz for a building permit together with a site plan dated January 22, 1964 meeting the requirements of Section 10-B, 3 of the Zoning Ordinance of the City, for certain building establishment at 29th and Rio Grande, more particularly described in said application; and, WHEREAS, it has been found and determined by the City Council of the City of Austin that, based upon the use of the premises for the purpose of an addition to a shopping center the maximum number of parking spaces which will probably be used by employees and customers of such establishment, taking into account the loading facilities on the site, the public parking areas and street space available for parking in the vicinity, public safety, and free circulation of traffic both on and off the site, is thirty-nine (39) parking spaces; Now, Therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN: That thirty-nine (39) spaces is an adequate number of parking spaces for the establishment shown on the site plan of Mr. Louis Laibovitz dated January 22, 1964, for use of the premises for the purpose of an addition to a shopping center.

The motion, seconded by Councilman LaRue, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 23, 1964 The City Manager stated it would be well for the Council to call an Election for a bond issue, and he hoped to have a report in the early spring. The City Manager reported that MR. ALLEN LEISTICO was to come before the Council, regarding a sign on 38½ Street and East Avenue. The Building Official stated he was trying to work something out with him. The City Manager stated it was his understanding a letter was being circulated among the property owners on Congress Avenue by DOWN TOWN PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION asking the property owners to render their property for 25% less than for what it was assessed. The City Manager stated the Windsor Road Underpass involved a deep excavation; and in order to get the land necessary to provide for back slopes, etc., the City had to acquire land on the south side just west of Hartford Road, and on the west side of the railroad tracks between the track and Winsted Lane. In development of the plan for the various utilities, excavation, etc., and the location of the structure itself, it was concluded the best plan was to locate both the water line and the gas line outside of the right of way on the south side. In order to do that it is necessary to grant the Gas Company an easement along the north part of the land which the City still has on Hartford Drive and also the land on the west side of the tract which the City acquired from Mr. Steiner. He stated a gas regulator station was now located on the north side, and it will have to be relocated on this line. The easement will also provide for the relocation of the gas regulation station. Councilman White 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 to execute, on behalf of the City, a right-of-way and easement for the construction, maintenance, operation, repair and replacement of an underground natural gas pipeline, and the right of entry thereto for the heretofore stated purposes, in accordance with the terms and provisions of a certain easement, copy of which is attached to this Resolution, and marked by the City Clerk for purposes of identification, and the City Clerk is hereby directed to file for permanent record in the office of the City Clerk the attached copy of said easement without recordation in the Minutes of the City Council. The motion, seconded by Councilman LaRue, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None The City Manager called attention to the invitation to the TROUT FISHING PARTY from 4:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M., Friday, January 24th at the Municipal Auditorium. The City Manager distributed summaries of the first four Chapters of the Building Code. CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS January 23, 1964 Councilman Long inquired about the budgeted amount for furnishing uniforms for the Sanitation people, and asked that a report be made and some action be taken to get this into effect. The City Manager stated a study was under way whether or not to rent the uniforms with laundry and repair services, or to buy the uniforms and furnish the laundry services. The purchase of uniforms alone without providing for laundry services or repair would be less costly to the city through the years. A decision had not yet been made. The Director of Public Works stated the quotations had just been received, except from one laundry, and he was working up a report on furnishing the uniforms and the laundry, as against the rental. Councilman LaRue had some quotations on this, stating there would be a savings of $20,000 a year if the uniforms were purchased and issued and the individuals were required to keep them clean. The cost of laundrying over the years will run over several times the cost of the garments, and there is no comparison. He made a report on his information, stating as the Sanitation Department added employees, in time there might be a savings of $30,000 - $40,000 a year rather than $20,000. Mayor Palmer suggested in order to give the Director of Public Works time to get his report together, and to get some more figures that Councilman LaRue has, that this matter be brought up the following Thursday. Mayor Palmer read an anonymous letter from an employee in the Sanitary Sewer Department, setting out some complaints and stating the employees needed a raise when they were doing more than they should and that some of the men were driving their own cars to work without getting extra pay. The City Manager stated he had asked the Director of Water and Sewer to check this, and it seems that they should explain to the men why they are not paid for using their own car for coming to work. MR. SCHMIDT stated there may have been times when a crew car was broken down, and some one used his own car. If that were true, the man should be paid for his car, and Mr. Schmidt is looking into this. The Council recessed until 2:30 P.M. RECESSED MEETING 2:30 Ρ.Μ. At 2:30P.M., the Council met with the Committee to study the human relation needs in Austin. Present were MR. ROY VELASQUEZ, DR. J. J. SEABROOK, MR. ED WROE, MR. HARDY HOLLERS, MRS. MILTON SMITH, MR. BONNER McLANE was absent during the first part of the meeting. MAYOR PALMER expressed gratitude to the members who had agreed to serve on this Committee, and he read the Resolution concerning the organization and scope of the committee. The Mayor stressed the importance of this Committee and explained its functions. He stated it would not be necessary to review all of the doors that had been opened in the City through efforts of various citizens and it has been the hope, wishes and desires of all that this would be recognized as a basic human right and everyone would work at this issue in a voluntary manner. He said he believed good, intelligent, responsible men and women of good will can work out many of these problems in an intelligent manner and furnish the guides and directions for the entire city. He said this matter would not be settled by default. He listed an area for immediate study, and that is the area of employment, and upgrading of employment and job opportunities. He said that although some may not acknowledge the progress that has been made, progress had been made in the City. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 23, 1964 Councilman LaRue expressed appreciation to each of the Committee members and stated each was an accomplished leader in his own profession, and that he was gratified to place this matter in the hands of such good people. Councilman Long thanked the Committee and suggested they hold regular meetings, and meet with any clubs or organizations, state, county, local and civic groups, or governmental groups and do what can be done to bring about the real feeling of brotherhood and good will in the City. Councilman Shanks thanked the group for serving and admonished the Committee that, in its efforts to accomplish the missions it seeked, it would not be influenced or put out too much with what outside influence is exerted upon the Committee. MR. ED WROE inquired about a time for a reporting date. The Mayor replied as included in the resolution, "as soon as practicable". Members of the Committee expressed appreciation for their appointment, and expressed recognition of the responsibilities. The City Manager announced that he had designated the Assistant City Manager to serve as Executive Secretary, and he would find someone to keep records. The Committee went into Executive Session and upon returning to the Council Meeting, MR. JIM WILSON, Executive Secretary, announced that MR. HARRY AKIN had been chosen as Chairman, and MRS. MILTON SMITH was selected as Vice Chairman. DR. SEABROOK stated the Committee had accepted the appointment of MR.WILSON by the City Manager. Mayor Palmer suggested some areas of real importance for the Committee to study, one being that there be no discrimination at Brackenridge Hospital; and one that the personnel practices be studied. He said in these areas that had come to the attention of the Council, that the Council should know as much of the facts that it could. Councilman Long suggested that the Committee study all areas of discrimination in city government, county, state governments, private individuals, as she understood that negroes were denied entrance into busi- ness colleges. Councilman Shanks referred to the Resolution as concerned what the Committee should do, and that was to study the human relation needs of the Community. DR. SEABROOK pointed out two commitments that the Council had not carried out as yet, one being the appointment of a Negro on the Hospital Board, and the other the appointment of a lady on the Urban Renewal Board. The Mayor stated at the meeting at Kealing Junior High School, it was charged there was not a lady on the Board, nor a Negro nor a Latin American. The Mayor and City Attorney explained that the Board could not be changedless often than two years. Councilman Long stated the Council showed good faith and passed a Resolution increasing the Board when it could be increased, and she believed it was planned to appoint three ex officio members so that they could sit in on the Board and familiarize themselves with the Board. (Urban Renewal Board) CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 23, 1964 The Mayor stated that it was desired to have a negro on the Hospital Board. REV. WROE is on the Library Commission, and MR. ELLIOTT is serving on the Recreation Board. He stated he would contact the Hospital Board Chairman and discuss this. The Council reviewed again items for study. The City Attorney reviewed briefly the Resolution. The Committee Chairman AKIN stated the Committee had been assigned an Executive Secretary, and secretarial assistance. Meeting dates and meeting places were discussed. The City Manager stated Mr. Wilson would find suitable accomodations. Mr. Akin expressed appreciation for the specific suggestions that members of the Council had given to stimulate their thinking, and he hoped the Council would feel that the Committee would be receptive of any suggestions or admonitions. The City Manager reported that the following zoning applications had been referred to the Planning Commission for recommendation and had been set for public hearing at 11:00 A.M. on February 27, 1964: DAVID B.
