Invocation and Special Prayer for the Carpenter family was brought by City Attorney, DOREN R. ESKEW. COLONEL VANCE MURPHY, Director of Aviation, introduced the new Base Commander at Bergstrom Air Force Base, COLONEL and MRS. GRIBBLE. MAYOR PALMER and the Council welcomed Colonel and Mrs. Gribble to Austin, expressing their fondness for the people of Bergstrom. MRS. GEORGE FRANCISCO, stated she was still paying taxes on a ten-year old car, and it had been dropped from the County Tax rolls. The City Manager explained the State Law covering this matter. The Council greeted former Councilman BOB ARMSTRONG who was looking forward to the opening of the Morris Williams Golf Course. The City Manager stat- ed the Course would be opened April 18th. MAYOR PALMER stated it was a pleasant duty for the Council to recognize 45½ years' of loyal and dedicated service to the City by MR. G. A. POTTHOFF, who is retiring. Mr. Potthoff has served under every Mayor from Mayor Wooldridge's tenure to the present. He retires as Supervisor of overhead construc- tion and maintenance in the Electric Distribution System. COUNCILMAN LONG January 30, 1964 た - CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS expressed regrets at his leaving the City. She said she has just learned that Mr. Potthoff had trained every man in the Distribution System. COUNCILMAN WHITE commended Mr. Potthoff in being a splendid supervisor, realizing his men all thought so much of him. COUNCILMAN SHANKS stated he hated to see the City lose this talent. He commended the City Employees, stating the City has an excellent group working for it and they give more performance than employees in private enterprise do. COUNCILMAN LARUE expressed his appreciation to Mr. Potthoff, and stated appreciation also came from the Citizenry. MAYOR PALMER recalled a time when there was an electrical storm and there was a direct hit about 3:00 Α.Μ. He stated he was impressed and moved as he saw this group of men performing a most outstanding service in going down in the manhole where there were burning and exposed wires to make the repairs and to put the system back in service. The City Manager expressed appreciation for Mr. Potthoff and stated he hated to see men like him go, saying the City still might be calling on him at times. MR. KINNEY, Director of Electric Utilities said in all the lines Mr. Potthoff and his men had constructed, everyone could see how good they were in comparison to any town in Texas or in the nation, and he should be commended as all of this construction was done under his supervision. MR. POTTHOFF expressed his regrets of leaving the ones he worked with, and thanked the Council and Administration for its remarks. MR. BLANKENSHIP expressed gratitude to him for his cooperation with the Power Plant. MR. TURNER said he hated to see him leave; that he was leaving the people he had trained and the system he had built. The lines will be here for a long time. Mr. Turner said comments were made about system's holding up so well during Carla. Mr. Potthoff is the man who is responsible for those lines holding their own under those conditions. COUNCILMAN LARUE commended the Police Department stating he had been observing it for over five years; and during service on the Grand Jury he realized they were doing a wonderful performance, but he found out Austin had the best law enforcing group in theState of Texas. He stated the citizens should always do their utmost to help the police do an excellent job, and to educate their children that the Police is the front line defense, and that all should try to assist them and not hinder in any way.

MR. CHARLES R. FOWLER, President of Austin Ring Side Club, introduced MR. PAT O'GRADY, a worker with the amateurs in boxing, and one who is familiar with boxing and its financial conditions. MR. O'GRADY asked the Council to reconsider the requirements of a 13 weeks' contract for the Coliseum, with payments in advance, to enable them to obtain the $100.00 rental. He stated MR. JESSE ROOT did not exercise the option for the 13 week contract, as he took a loss on the first night. Mr. O'Grady stated there would be too much money for them to have tied up for 13 weeks. He asked the Council to drop this requirement and let them put up a $300.00 deposit, guaranteeing they would take the Coliseum so many weeks in advance. The Council discussed this with Mr. O'Grady, and the Mayor stated the Council would confer with the Auditorium Manager and bring this matter up in the afternoon meeting. Later in the afternoon meeting, the City Manager pointed out the rentals were set up where they would pay $300.00 in advance, and the most they could lose would be $200.00. The Auditorium Manager, MR. FRANCES VICKERS, stated whatever arrangements would be made with this group, would have to be made for any others that wanted to come in. He was anxious to rent the Coliseum on Monday night, as Monday night is not reserved during the year. He explained the policy of a tenant's paying a deposit of $300.00 and everytime they used the Coliseum they would pay another $100.00. Mr. Vickers stated Mr. O'Grady had come by after he left the Council; and after having the policy explained to him, Mr. O'Grady was agreeable to the arrangement. MAYOR PALMER inquired about the figures on the rental of the Auditorium as submitted by MR. C. T. JOHNSON. The Auditorium Manager made a report, stating the prices were well in line and rentals of some Auditoriums were below Austin, but none of them has the seating capacity, the plush seating, the elevated floor, free parking and other things. The City Manager read a comparison of rates in other cities ranging from $250 to $300 for the Theater, and from $300 to $500 for the Arena, plus percentages. Austin's charge is $270 or 10% of the gross receipts for the particular activity Mr. Johnson had made inquiry; or instead, the tenant could sign a contract for $500.00. In other places, extra charges for public address systems and spot lights, etc., are made. He did not believe changing the rates would be of any help to Mr. Johnson. After discussion, Councilman Long moved that the Council retain the same rate for all people concerned in doing business with the Auditorium. The motion, seconded by Council- man LaRue, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None January 30, 1964 =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Pursuant to published notice thereof the following zoning applications were publicly heard: R.

MRS. BETH LUCAS inquired if this zone were changed in the 800 block of 20½ and Oldham Streets if they would have to pay for widening 20 Street which January 30, 1964 1:1 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS has been recently paved. No plans for widening 20½ Street at this point were given. C. O. BARKER, et al 2701-2719 Manor Road 2208-2214 Walnut Avenue 2208-2214 Curtis Avenue From "A" Residence To "C" Commercial NOT Recommended by the Planning Commission MR. BARKER appeared in his own behalf stating this property was the only area from East Avenue to the Railroad that is not commercial; and he had been turned down by FHA for a loan as he was too near to the commercial zones to obtain a loan. MR. ED STEVENS, Chief Planning Administration pointed out Manor Road is set up as a thoroughfare in the Master Plan; and from that standpoint the street is inadequate. Since there would be increased development the Commission thought the street widening should occur prior to the zoning. He said the width had been reduced from a 90'street to an 80' right of way. MR. PETE SCHNEIDER protested the change to commercial, as it was not known how it would be used, and their property value would be ruined. Petition by others in the area stating this would deteriorate the residential status was on file. The Council discussed right of way and dedication for widening Manor Road. Mayor Palmer pointed out the necessity for making long range plans for cross-town roads; and suggested since this was designated on the Master Plan as an 80' thoroughfare that a building line could be established, and the set back of 25' from this line be provided. Mr. Barker stated this would be agreeable to him. Finally after more discussion, Councilman Long moved to grant the zoning, and that the City Attorney be instructed to work out the details on the building line. The motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None The Mayor announced that the change had been granted to "C" Commercial and the City Attorney was instructed to draw the necessary ordinance to cover. HENRY J. SASSE By Joe Bennett 4304-4306 Banister Lane Rear of 1301-1303 Ben White Boulevard From "GR" General Retail 2nd Height & Area To "C-1" Commercial 2nd Height & Area RECOMMENDED by the Planning Commission MR. JOE BENNETT represented the applicant, who wants to put in a drive-in grocery store, and sell beer for off premises consumption. There is a depression at the end of the City owned property which affects the lay of the land so that the building will have to be placed on the back portion of the property. He said 900 families could be served by this area. MR. VICTOR GLECKLER expressed opposition for himself and others. After discussion, Councilman White moved that the change to "C-1" Commercial 2nd Height and Area be granted. The motion, seconded by Councilman LaRue, carried by the following vote: January 30, 1964 100 CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None The Mayor announced that the change had been granted to "C-1" Commercial 2nd Height and Area and the City Attorney was instructed to draw the ordinance necessary to cover.

C. BARNES By A. B. Beddow Rear of 5516-5522 Burnet From "A" Residence Road Rear of 5509-5511 Montview To "C" Commercial (As Amended) NOT Recommended by the Planning Commission RECOMMENDED "C" Com- mercial for East 60' MR. CHARLES FARROW represented Mr. Barnes and Mr. Beddow, stating the west 60 of the Burnet Road property had been developed by Mr. Beddow as a paved parking area, and they were trying to conform the zoning to the use to which it is being put. On the back of Mr. Barnes' property, they want to construct a fireproof clay-tile storage house or a minature warehouse. He stated the area was land locked and was worthless for residential development. He suggested extending zoning all of the block back some distance so that it could be utilized for something other than weeds. Mr. Farrow stated all the property owners on Montview and Burnet Road would like to see that extension of zoning. The 30' under question is 85' from the rear of the closest fenced residential property, and there is this 85' of weeds. It was suggested that this area be zoned, and the Planning Commission be asked to study extending the zoning all the way back. MR. ED STEVENS stated the 30' was an encroachment on the lot. Councilman Long stated she was willing to ask the Planning Commission to study the rest of the area for the possible zoning of a straight line in the extension. The Mayor stated the Council would give Mr. Farrow an answer as soon as it possibly could. The Council deferred action until it could make an on site inspec- tion of the area. The Council recessed until 2:30 P.M. RECESSED MEETING At 2:30 P.M. the Council resumed its business. 2:30 Ρ.Μ. Councilman White moved that the Minutes of the Meeting of January 23, 1964, be approved.

Councilman long offered the following resolution and moved its adoption: (RESOLUTION) A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE AGREEMENT DATED JANUARY 30, 1964, BETWEEN THE STATE OF TEXAS AND THE CITY OF AUSTIN, FOR THE INSTALLATION, CONSTRUCTION, EXISTENCE, USE, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF A HIGHWAY ILLUMINATION PROJECT AT U. S. HIGHWAY 183 INTERSECTION WITH F. M. HIGHWAY 1325 AND THE BURNET ROAD IN THE CITY OF AUSTIN; AND PROVIDING FOR THE EXECUTION OF SAID AGREEMENT. BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN: SECTION 1. That the certain agreement dated January 30, 1964, between the State of Texas and the City of Austin for the installation, construction, existence, use, operation and maintenance of certain highway illumination located at U. S. Highway 183 Intersection with F. M. Highway 1325 and the Burnet Road in the City of Austin be, and the same is, hereby approved; and that W. T. Williams, Jr., City Manager, is hereby authorized to execute said agreement on behalf of the City of Austin, Texas, and to transmit the same to the State of Texas for appropriate action. The motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None ) ) The Council discussed furnishing uniforms for the men in the Sanitation Division. The Director of Public Works reviewed the two proposals for furnishing the uniforms and servicing them. TEXAS INDUSTRIAL LAUNDRIES will pick up the uniforms once a week; will furnish seven suits, three laundered per week at $2.10 per man per week, and will replace the uniforms every 12 months. They want a 12 months' contract. MR. BURTON, BURTON LAUNDRIES will furnish four suits, three laundered per week, with twice-a-week pick up at the same price of $2.10 per man per week. MR. BURTON will replace the suits every eight or nine months, and he suggested a contract of a minimum of 16 months, preferably 24 months. The Director of Public Works gave figures on purchasing the uniforms out right of $4.50 per uniform. Laundering would amount to $1.50 per man per week for three suits. To go on the rental basis would take all of the money set up in the budget, $21,000. If the City purchased the uniforms at $4.52 for the personnel, the expenditure would be $3300, or $4400 for four uniforms per man. The Director of Public Works recommended that the supervisory employees, who are included in the 187 for whom uniforms would be purchased, have a different type of uniform with a white shirt. The men would be responsible for alterations, January 30, 1964 147 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS repairs and laundry. MR. ROUNTREE commended the men in the care and pride they took of their new trucks, and he believed they would take pride in the new suits Councilman White stated when uniforms were provided for the Sanitation The Department personnel, those in the Street and Bridge would want the same. Director of Public Works said those working with asphalt were furnished uniforms. Mayor Palmer said the men in the Sanitation Department worked in the residential areas, and made contacts with 50,000 property owners, and that would make a difference. MR. C. A. BURTON reviewed his proposal to furnish and service the uniforms pointing out the disadvantages of the employees' being responsible for the laundering of three suits per week and repair of the uniforms. His rental offer included fitting, insignias, marking, laundry, alteration, repair and replacement, and a scheduled delivery and pick-up. Mr. Burton said in some industries the employees elect to pay $1.00 a week for laundry and the industry pays $1.10. MR. BILL STEWART, TEXAS INDUSTRIAL LAUNDRIES, discussed his proposal, stating they served cities and furnished uniforms to many of their Departments. He pointed out also the advantages of the rental service. He Councilman Long inquired what the City Manager's recommendation was. said this matter had been under study and discussion for quite some time, and it was believed it would be well to put the Sanitation Department personnel in uniform from the point of view of public service. He suggested if the City pur- chased the uniforms that it furnish the laundry; or following Mr. Burton's suggestion, the laundry could be made optional, and the men participate in the cost. Councilman Long stated if the City furnished the uniforms it should furnish the laundry service. Councilman LaRue stated the individuals had been taking care of their uniforms in other Departments, and he believed the Sanitation Department would be able to take care of theirs and have a pride in keeping them nice. He was impressed with the difference in cost between the rentals and the City's purchasing the clothes. He suggested that the City purchase the uniforms out right; and if there is some indication it should change its procedure, it would be only a small matter to change from the lower cost to the service cost. Finally, after a lenghty detailed discussion, Councilman Long moved to go ahead with the purchase of the uniforms and let the laundering take care of itself for the time being; and that this matter be reviewed after six months to see how it is working out. The motion, seconded by Councilman LaRue, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None The Mayor stated the Department head would carry it to the men that it is the Council's hope that they will keep the uniforms nice and clean and fresh, and that the men be encouraged to do this. The City Manager inquired about the color of the uniforms to be selected. It was decided that the Director of Public Works select a committee at the Sanitation Department to choose the color. The City Manager reported that the City owned property on Lamar Boulevard across Shoal Creek north of the hike and bike trail; and that for sometime the property owner just west of the property had been placing fill which is spilling January 30, 1964 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS over onto the City property. Some complaints have been received. He said it may be the City has no objections at this time, but he suggested that the Council drive by and look at the situation.
