"Due to the fact that the balance of these structures are dilapidated, and also the fact that it would cost this office several hundred dollars if we had to demolish them, it is recommended that these bids be accepted.

CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 22, 1965 The motion, seconded by Councilman LaRue, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None The Council had before it consideration of supplemental information to be submitted for completion of the Workable Program Report. The City Manager stated basically this was an enlargement of the report to make it clearer as to what the City does in receiving citizen participation in the project. Pointed out was the inclusion of the amount of money to be spent on actual improvements, whereas only the amount for planning the improvements had been listed. The figure was changed from $15,000 to $22,642,000 and a breakdown of the $22,000,000 was added. Detailed information was included on citizen's activities, listing the number of meetings the Citizens Advisory Committee held last year, sub-committee meetings, ete. Additional information was given on various other committees the Council had appointed from time to time, showing there is a great deal of citizen's participation in all of the activities of the City. Members of committees participating in various phases of the Workable Program number over a thousand. With reference to the Members of Citizens Committee for Community Improvement, Councilman Long said it was confusing for the list to show "Newly Appointed Members", as most of this committee were reappointed. Councilman Long moved that MRS. JOHN BARROW be heard. The motion was seconded by Councilman LaRue. Roll call showed a unanimous vote. Mrs. Barrow stated as a member of the old committee, she thought it may seem that the Council cast off all of the original members and carried on under the spirit of that first committee; and she asked if there were some way of indicating which members were carried over, it would be helpful. The City Manager stated this could be indicated by putting an asterisk by each name of the original committee and making note of this at the bottom of the page. Continuing the review of the supplemental information, the City Manager called attention to the General Functional Organization Chart of the City, the list of sub-committees created, and an explanation of the manner in which these committees would function. The City Manager stated the report as reviewed by the Council was filed and it had been approved except for the last section dealing with citizen's participation. This supplement will be forwarded to Fort Worth and included in the first document and forwarded to Washington as quickly as possible. Councilman LaRue moved that the City Manager be authorized to sign this Document and let it become a part of the report, with the suggested change about the "Newly" Appointed Committee. The motion, seconded by Councilman Shanks, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, Mayor Palmer Noes: Councilman White The City Manager stated Mrs. Barrow referred to a paragraph concerning the reappointment of 16 members and appointment of 19 new members to the Citizens Committee for Community Improvement. It was his recommendation that it still might be worthwhile to put an asterisk by the names of the original members to indicate whom they were, eliminate the word "newly", and put a note on the bottom of the page. =CITY OF AUSTIN.

Williams, Jr., City Manager" 61 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 22, 1965 Councilman White noted there would be 10 additional cars and inquired where they would be used. The City Manager stated in the Police Department, Building Inspector's Department and various departments needed these vehicles for their additional people who required cars. Councilman LaRue offered the following resolution and moved its adoption: (RESOLUTION) WHEREAS, bids were received by the City of Austin on January 20, 1965, for sixty-two (62) passenger cars for use by various departments of the City of Austin; and, WHEREAS, the bid of Armstrong-Johnson, Inc., for sixty-one (61) passenger cars, in the sum of $85,813.00 and 51 trade-ins, and the bid of Simmons Motor Company for one (1) passenger car in the sum of $1,537.92 and one trade-in, were the lowest and best bids therefor, and the acceptance of such bids has been recommended by the Purchasing Agent of the City of Austin, and by the City Manager; Now, Therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN: That the bid of Armstrong-Johnson, in the sum of $85,813.00 and 51 tradeins, and the bid of Simmons Motor Company, in the sum of $1,537.92 and one (1) trade-in, be and the same are hereby accepted, and that W.

The City Manager replied the Power Plant was being upgraded to increase the capacity of some of the units. This is a heater needed in connection with the enlargement of Unit 9. The Director of Electric Utilities gave a technical explanation whereby the efficiency of the Plant would be increased about 4%, thus lowering the fuel cost about $16,000 a year's operation. In less than two years this addition would be paid out by the savings. Councilman Long inquired how many more of these parts would have to be purchased. The Director of Electric Utilities stated this was about all, with the exception of some items amounting to $4 or $5,000. Brief discussion was held on the $75,000 KW unit. Councilman LaRue offered the following resolution and moved its adoption: (RESOLUTION) WHEREAS, bids were received by the City of Austin on January 20, 1965, for one (1) closed feedwater heater for Seaholm Power Plant, Unit Number Nine; and, WHEREAS, the bid of Southwestern Engineering Company, in the sum of $22,070.00, was the lowest and best bid therefor, and the acceptance of such bid has been recommended by the Consulting Engineers for the City of Austin, by the Director Electric Utility, and by the City Manager; Now, Therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN: That the bid of Southwestern Engineering Company, in the sum of $22,070.00, be and the same is hereby accepted, and that W. T. Williams, Jr., City Manager of the City of Austin, be and he is hereby authorized to execute, on behalf of the City, a contract with Southwestern Engineering Company. The motion, seconded by Councilman Shanks, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Noes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer None Councilman LaRue moved that MRS. GEORGE FRANCISCO be heard. The motionvas seconded by Councilman Long. Roll call showed a unanimous vote. MRS. FRANCISCO stated the Heritage Society should have been present when COLONEL VANCE MURPHY, who always brings dignataries from foreign countries before the Council, brought the one from Africa, who had been told not to miss going to Austin, Texas. Councilman Long reported a dilapidated house had to be upgraded, and it belonged to a very elderly man who had a $40.00 per month pension, and it was almost impossible for him to repair this house, as he had no way of borrowing. She suggested that the City of Austin, in cases like this, do as it does on the assessment paving--go in and spend the amount necessary to fix these houses, and assess the property and get a lien. She said this would spruce up the program of upgrading the property where there were people who could not do it. She asked how many of this type of houses in this category did the City have now. The Building Official answered there were very few. She believed this would be a good thing to put in the Community Improvement Program as a new technique of upgrading homes, and it would not cost the City a lot either. Councilman LaRue مان _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXASJanuary 22, 1965 asked if this were a County responsibility rather than a City obligation. The City Manager said he doubted whether or not this could be considered a municipal purpose; as a lien could not be created against a homestead without the owner's requesting it and signing it; then it would be a question of lending credit, which is prohibited by the Constitution. The Mayor pointed out the City was borrowing money to finance its projects. Councilman LaRue asked if the County did not make contributions for food, shelter, etc. Councilman Long stated they paid rent. She thought this was a wonderful type of program and that the City should look into it. Councilman Shanks pointed out paving involved the public at large. The City Manager pointed out she said there probably were not very many of these cases, and this would be the type of case which should attract citizens who would like to participate in some way, as the Committee did last year. It took a case like this, donated their work, efforts and materials, and brought a house up to standard. This is the type of case that lends itself to that sort of action. Councilman Long said this is a wonderful type of program; and these types of things are the responsibility of the government, and would not cost the City a lot, and Austin would take great pride in bringing some of the older houses up to standard. Councilman Long asked that the Council consider it and look into it. Councilman LaRue moved that MRS. JOHN BARROW be heard. The motion was seconded by Councilman Long. Roll call showed a unanimous vote. MRS. BARROW stated the Citizens Committee on Community Improvement was the proper committee to take this problem under advisement; and if the Council would like to ask the committee to study it and bring in a proposition, they could make a list of pros and cons, and that might be a proper solution. No action was taken by the Council at this time. Councilman Shanks inquired when Mr. Willard Connolly's problem concerning his subdivision or the City's purchasing the property would come before the Council. MR. WILLARD CONNOLLY reported the Planning Commission asked the Council to consider buying this property (Mount Bonnell property) and that a motion was made by one of the members of the Commission to approve the plat if the Council decided not to buy the property, but they wanted to study the road relocation and everyone agreed it should be relocated. The City Attorney stated the action reported in the press was that the Planning Commission reaffirm the request pre- viously submitted to the Council that it consider whether the property should be purchased or not. Councilman White inquired if there were not a majority of the Commission opposed to the City's buying that property. Councilman Shanks stated if the report could be presented, the Council could discuss this next Thursday. The Mayor outlined the things necessary to have on this recommendation--the plan, the plot plan, relocation of the road, etc. Councilman Shanks expressed his desire to have this presented to the Council and discussed next Thursday. Mr. Connolly was anxious for the Commission or Council to tell them how to proceed. Discussion covered the Planning Commission's request that the Council decide whether this property was to be private or public property; and the status of the dedication of the road, in that it was as effectively dedicated as a dedication could be. Mayor Palmer asked that this matter be submitted to the Council by next Thursday. - CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 22, 1965 The City Manager reported about two months ago bids were taken on electric light globes, and received bids from a number of bidders based on some specifications which were misconstrued by those people. Due to some ambiguities in vari- ous divisions of the classifications the bids were referred to the Legal Department to determine which one was the proper interpretation. Meanwhile the market has changed and the globes are cheaper than when the bids were first taken. The recommendation of the Purchasing Agent was that the City reject all bids, since there has been as much as a 25% decrease in some of the large items needed. Councilman Long moved that since the price had come down that the bids be rejected and new bids be asked for. The motion, seconded by Councilman Shanks, carried by the following vote: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Ayes: Noes: None The City Manager said that the Planning Director reported the work on the Blackshear Project was not quite complete, and he indicated it might be well to have a meeting with the Citizens Community Improvement Committee and acquaint them with the project and get a recommendation from them with reference to it. Councilman long inquired about a public hearing, and it was stated this was not required at this time; but it would be held when the development of the plans were underway. Finally, after discussion, Councilman Long moved that the City Manager refer the proposed Blackshear project to the Community Development Committee. The motion, seconded by Councilman Shanks, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, Mayor Palmer Noes: Councilman White The City Attorney discussed the purchase of Roy A. Miller's property on Manor Road and Anchor Lane, consisting of 3.8 acres with the Miller home. He listed the range of prices discussed, and stated they had a contract now on the property. The City Attorney pointed out the need of the property, showing the location of the new runway, which would pass directly over this land. Councilman Shanks moved that the City Attorney be instructed to conclude the deal with the Roy Millers for the contracted price. The motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, white, Mayor Palmer Noes: None The City Attorney discussed the property at 24th and Lamar, and the Council wanted to look at this property on the ground. The Council also wanted to make another on site inspection of the property Mr. Bob Armstrong had requested to lease on the Interregional Highway just south of 45th Street. The Assistant City Manager had a request from the Texas State Historical Survey Committee to place another plaque at First and Congress which would be =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 22, 1965 marking a memorial on Lamar Park. He read the inscription to be placed on the marker. Councilman Long moved that the City Manager be instructed to have the proper departments check this out and put the marker up in the proper place as requested. The motion, seconded by Councilman LaRue, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None Mayor Palmer announced again that there would be a commissioning ceremony in the Brooklyn Navy Yard of the USS Austin, a fine floating docking facility. Since the Council Members were unable to attend, Councilman Long moved that a proclamation be brought in next Thursday designating MR. E. A. TUCKER, Commander U.S.N., Retired, as the Council representative at the commissioning of the USS Austin on February 6, 1965. The motion, seconded by Councilman LaRue, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer NOes: None Councilman Long moved that a resolution be brought in making CAPTAIN W. Н. SHAW an honorary citizen of Austin, Texas. The motion, seconded by Councilman LaRue, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None Councilman LaRue stated that a plaque be sent and it is proper that a gift to the ship be presented. The Mayor read communications to the Council as follows: "Thank you" notes for recreational facilities from members of the Legislature, MR. HUDSON MOYER, MR. AMANDO F. CANALES, MR. TONY BONILLA, MR. JOHN E. BLAINE and MR. WILSON FOREMAN. An acknowledgement from the Bank of Austin thanking the Council for its participation in the opening. A letter acknowledging appointment to the Committee for Community Improvement from MRS. W. R. DUNKELBERG. A commendation of MR. REUBEN ROUNTREE for prompt service in leveling the street entrance to their driveway, as reported by Mrs. Emma Long, from Mr. and Mrs. George H. Hamblin. An invitation from MR. ELMO COOK to the Council to attend the Executive Committee of the Travis County Build- ing Committee for Agriculture, on February 8, at the Terrace Motor Hotel. Each member of the Council had received the invitation and would call in individual reservations. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 22, 1965 A claim for injury filed by MR. CLYDE L. LORENZ, which claim had already been referred to the Legal Department. Invitations had been sent to each member of the Council to attend the informal meeting of the Aqua Festival, at 8:00 P.M. January 22nd. Councilman Shanks submitted a letter from MR. GLENN GARNER, regarding an accident of MRS. MARGARET WOLF HART, insured under his agency, the accident occurring at the intersection of Windsor and Hartford Road. The accident was apparently caused by improperly working traffic lights at the corner. Both parties had a green light at the time of the accident, which was verified by witnesses. Mrs. Hart has collision coverage; with $250 deductible, and her loss amounted to $185 which was the lowest bid. Since her loss was not covered by insurance, Mr. Garner was asking that this case be presented to the City Council with the request that they consider paying damages in this amount to Mrs. Hart. They felt there was some responsibility on the part of the City since these traffic lights were not properly working. He had sent a copy of the report to the Legal Department, but he asked the Council to weigh the matter if it would. The City Attorney stated he had sent copies of the Charter provision for them to submit their case for claim. The City Attorney cited cases similar to this one where the holdings were that the City had no liability. Councilman Shanks stated he knew all precautions were taken not to have all the lights green at intersections; but there is some cause by the lights' being green that could be laid to the accident. The Mayor stated this now was being handled in the proper manner. The City Attorney stated the request of Mr. Garner was that the Council determine, in the absence of any legal liability, whether she should be paid or not, but Mr. Garner did not submit the Law Department any request like that. Councilman Shanks stated he was passing this on to the proper channels, as the letter was addressed to him. Councilman Shanks moved that since it has been the custom of the City for a number of years to present the Cadet Brigade Commander (Navy Reserve Officer Training Corps) a saber, that this be done again this year. The motion, seconded by Councilman LaRue, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None Mayor Palmer expressed his appreciation to the Council for permitting him to go to Washington, D. C. to the Inauguration of PRESIDENT LYNDON B. JOHNSON, stating he was deeply grateful, as it was quite an experience. He also publicly expressed appreciation to U. S. CONGRESSMAN J. J. PICKLE, Congressman of the Tenth District, who was host to those who went from this District; and to SENATOR RALPH YARBROUGH who had a special occasion to honor the new Congressmen elect from Texas. The Constitutional portion of the Inauguration Ceremony was a most impressive, beautiful and dignified service. Mayor Palmer said he also appreciated the Church Service when Dr. Billy Graham gave the message at the request of the President. The Mayor described the various activities, and highly commended GOVERNOR JOHN CONNALLY on his popularity and esteem. The Mayor again expressed gratitude for the privilege of attending this Inauguration. Councilman Long stated the Council was happy to have such a fine representative in the Capital of the Nation. Councilman Shanks stated the people had a fine President, a fine Governor, and a fine Mayor. 6 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 22, 1965 The Council received notice that the following zoning applications had been referred to the Planning Commission for consideration and set for public hearing before the City Council on February 25, 1965: A.
