Part of the counterspace was leased to DAVIS AIR LINES for their operation. There is a considerable amount of area that could be leased to a private interest. The City Manager explained the Airport was getting $300 rent from the Civil Defense Agency, $150 being paid by the County; so the City realizes only $150 for the space. The Director of Aviation believes the space can be rented for $600.00 a month. Colonel Kengla, Civil Defense Coordinator, has located 2,500 square feet of office space and 3,500 square feet of basement area in the Masonic Building, near the City Hall at $350.00 a month. Six parking spaces and loading space are included. All utilities are furnished except electricity which would be $50.00. The Federal Government will reimburse half the cost, and the County one-fourth, leaving the City's cost at $100.00. The space at the Airport can be rented at about $600.00. Councilman LaRue inquired about the space at the Walker's Austex which was very inexpensive. The City Manager stated the Masonic Building basement was figured at 5 and the office space at 12 a square foot. Councilman LaRue suggested looking at the Walkers Austex property, as their offer to lease was unbelievably low. Councilman LaRue moved that the Council permit the City Manager to look at both pieces of property and use his own judge ment. motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None Absent: Councilman Shanks The The City Manager stated COLONEL KENGLA would like to lease this area on a three or five year basis, and this would be satisfactory to the lessor as they were willing to lease on a month to month basis. The Council informally agreed to the extended period. DISCH FIELD IMPROVEMENT The Director of Public Works reported the Austin Braves wanted to expand the club house facilities for both the home team and visiting team, and it will cost about $4400 to do that. Councilman Long moved that the City Manager be authorized to expend approximately $4500 to build the club houses at Disch Field. The motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Noes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, White, Mayor Palmer None Absent: Councilman Shanks DANGEROUS ANIMAL ORDINANCE AMENDMENT Discussion was held on possible amendments to the Dangerous Animal Ordinance to cover circuses, and requiring people who owned such dangerous animals to provide bonds. The City Attorney stated the Council understood an ordinance covering circuses would be brought in, and he would have it next week. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 26, 1967 HOLLY STREET POWER PLANT Councilman Long had a request from MR. JOHN NORDVALL that something be done about the noise at the Holly Street Power Plant--that the plant has a squealing sound, the steam is being let out without mufflers, and the neighborhood is being disturbed. The City Manager stated during the testing periods there was some exhaust of steam that was not muffled, but he would have this checked carefully. Mr. Nordvall lives at 2500 Willow. TRAFFIC STOP SIGNS ON 40TH FROM DUVAL TO GUADALUPE Councilman Long moved that the Council ask the City Manager to have a study made on 40th Street from Duval to Guadalupe for stop signs on the cross streets as there seems to be a conflict as to who has the right of way. The motion, seconded by Councilman LaRue, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Noes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, White, Mayor Palmer None Absent: Councilman Shanks Councilman Long stated the Council asked the Parks and Recreation Board to study to see what could be done about Red Bud Trail, and they reported back suggesting possibly a look-out point, and the Council had not taken any action on this. Councilman Long read the recommendation from the Parks and Recreation Board dated November 16, 1966, that the City participate under the proposed conservation committee; that PARD give more attention to the maintenance of the road right of way; that "no dumping" signs be placed at appropriate locations; and an off street parking area be constructed for viewing the City. Mayor Palmer said it was his understanding the Parks and Recreation Board was to work with the West Lake Hills people and come up with a specific recommendation. The Recreation Director stated the West Lake Hills Committee had not been established yet; but some signs have been placed. As to the scenic viewing area, the Recreation Director said there would be a very beautiful site on the Water Treatment Plant location, and there were several suggestions he wanted to make on that later. The Mayor read a letter from JUDGE TOM REAVLEY as follows: "January 25, 1967 "Mayor Lester Palmer Mrs. Emma Long Mr. Louis Shanks Mr. Ben White Mr. Travis LaRue "Dear Mrs. Long and Gentlemen: "In today's Austin American is printed the text of a talk I made Monday night to the Austin Council of Church Women. In it I made some suggestions that I respectfully call to your attention. "So far as the City government is involved, these are: (1) The designation of a "Full Opportunities Week" and (2) The promulgation of goals for CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 26, 1967 Austin similar to what is being done now in Dallas. "The purposes of a "Full Opportunities Week" would be to emphasize the program against poverty and unequal opportunity so as to better inform the public as well as to obtain more statements of commitment in this direction. As for the community's declaration of goals I just refer you to Mayor Erik Jonsson's undertaking in Dallas. They started out with a conference of community leaders where statements were made and series of goals were agreed upon. These materials in turn were printed and distributed generally for the purposes of community response and discussion at neighborhood meetings. These meetings are concluded and the goals will be restated and republished early next month. This, it seems to me, would be an excellent opportunity for the community to examine the long range studies that have been made recently by our City government and to promote a good community spirit. "My personal regards to each of you. "Cordially, s/ Tom Reavley TOM REAVLEY" MAYOR PALMER regarding the goals of the City said the Executive Committee of the Greater Austin Association has this particular project under way, having already done a lot of research and are discussing raising money to start their preliminary work. The Mayor stated many of these ideas should be initiated at the citizens level--as to what is good for Austin; what is wanted and what is desired. The City would look after the needs of Austin. As to the "Full Opportunities Week" the Mayor asked that a copy of Judge Reavley's letter be sent to Dr. Barclay, Chairman of the Austin Equal Citizenship Corporation, to follow through on this suggestion. MAYOR PALMER read a letter from SENATOR RALPH YARBROUGH, as follows: "January 16, 1966 "Honorable Lester E. Palmer Mayor Austin Austin, Texas Dear Mayor Palmer: "From 1950 to 1960 Texas' urban population rose from less than five million to over seven million, an increase of 48 per cent. As a mayor of a major Texas city, you are, I am sure, all to familiar with the problems created by this formidable growth. "In order to make a substantial impact upon improving the quality of city life, Congress last year passed the Demonstration Cities and Metropolitan Development Act. This program is intended to provide a new approach to solving the problems of our urban areas. Instead of scattered, piecemeal efforts, entire blighted areas can be transformed. Title I of the Act authorizes the following: _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 26, 1967 "1) $12 million for Planning during fiscal years 1967 and 1968 2) $400 million in 1968 and $500 million in 1969 for city demonstration programs. 3) An additional $850 million in urban renewal funds in 1968. "The Department of Housing and Urban Development has just issued a "Program Guide to Model Neighborhoods in Demonstration Cities", which gives information on what to do in order to apply. I thought you might like to familiarize yourself further with this new program, and so I am enclosing a copy of the book for you. me. "If I may be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to call upon "Sincerely yours, s/ Ralph W. Yarborough Ralph W. Yarborough" Mayor Palmer stated the Council should familiarize itself with this program. Mayor Palmer read a letter from the Northview Baptist Church, as follows: "January 13, 1967 "Mr. R. A. Miles 700 E. 7th Austin, Texas "Dear Mr. Miles: "WHEREAS the vice squad of the police department of the city of Austin recently arrested an entertainer in a local nightclub for indecent exposure, and, "WHEREAS recent court rulings have judged the legality of such actions in relation to local community standards of morality, "BE IT KNOWN THAT the Northview Baptist Church, a congregation of 500, representing over 200 families in North Austin, voted unaimously in its regular business session in December, 1966 to affirm the following resolutions: "1. We commend the police department of our city for its courageous efforts to hinder the development of obscene performances in local nightclubs in the city of Austin. "2. We express our conviction that the prurient exposure of the female body, whether in the form of "topless" entertainers or "strip-tease" performances, are degrading to the morals of our community and offensive to the citizens of this congregation. "3. We affirm our support of the police department and the municipal _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 26, 1967 government of the city of Austin as they work together to build a city high in standards of physical, moral, and social beauty. Pastor Rev. Kenneth Morgan Church Clerk Mrs. Joanne Schiller" The Mayor read a letter from MR. D. M. HAMERNICK, Graduate student, University of Minnesota in Public Administration, who was interested in the concept of new communities. His interest was an assignment on locating a community of 250,000 in the southern part of Texas. PARKING TICKETS The Mayor had two letters from people who had received tickets while in Austin attending conventions, and they were unhappy about it. The City Manager said some communities give courtesy privileges to people with out of town license plates, because there are not many out of town cars. In Travis County, at least 50% of the cars on the streets are from out of the county. If that courtesy is given to more than half the cars, the regulations should be abandoned entirely. People would understand that, if they realized the situation in Austin, as well as the illegality. Such a "courtesy" would create more inconvenience for the visitors as no parking spaces would be available. He sug- gested perhaps printing information to this effect and leaving it along with the ticket. The City Attorney suggested in addition that when the conventioneers were welcomed to the City, that they be advised of this fact. Council- men LaRue and Long expressed their favoring the printed statements to accompany the tickets. Mayor Palmer read a letter from MR. VICTOR SUMNER expressing the necessity of his resigning from the Sister City Committee. Councilman Long moved that DR. JOE NEAL be appointed to succeed MR. VICTOR SUMNER as Vice Chairman on the Sister City Committee. The motion, seconded by Councilman LaRue, carried by the following vote: Councilmen LaRue, Long, White, Mayor Palmer Ayes: Noes: None Absent: Councilman Shanks Councilman Long moved that MR. BYRON LOCKHART be appointed a member of the Sister City Committee. The motion, seconded by Councilman LaRue, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Noes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, White, Mayor Palmer None Absent: Councilman Shanks The Mayor stated when the legislature is in session, there were people working late at night, and they are finding it difficult to find parking spaces. One member of the legislature had called regarding this matter, and _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 26, 1967 asked if the area from Colorado Street from 12th Street north to the Supreme Court Building could be set aside for parking. The Mayor asked if about 10-20' of Colorado Street adjacent to the area could be vacated and let the State patrol it during the months of January through June. Councilman Long suggested that the State could take care of its own parking problems, and this street was needed for circulation. Mayor Palmer suggested that something be proposed to help out. UNIVERSITY STREET VACATIONS MAYOR PALMER distributed to members of the Council a copy of a letter from MR. FRANK ERWIN, Board of Regents, University of Texas, dated January 5, 1967, concerning street and alley vacation, granting of easements in the University area. MAYOR PALMER had received a letter from the Army ROTC regarding the presentation of a sabre to the Cadet Brigade of the Army ROTC. The Mayor suggested the purchase be charged to the Council's Expense Fund. Councilman LaRue moved that this sabre be presented as in the past. The motion, seconded by Councilman Long, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None Absent: Councilman Shanks MAYOR PALMER called attention to the letter from the Texas A & M University College of Engineering regarding the Texas Transportation Institute Program. The City Manager stated the Recreation Director had pointed out he had checked the fence on the Municipal Golf Course, and he is endeavoring to get it repaired as quickly as possible. LOWERING LAKE AUSTIN FEBRUARY 27 MARCH 31 The City Manager read the letter the Director of Electric Utilities wrote officially requesting the L.C.R.A. to lower and control the level of Lake Austin approximately 12 below the crest of the dam, and agreeing on starting the lowering on February 27th (Monday) and beginning the raising on March 31st. The City Manager stated the specifications on the Water Treatment Plant recite the lake will be down during the month of March. Mayor Palmer asked that proper publicity be given to these dates. LAND TRANSACTIONS The City Attorney stated a small parcel of land abutting Foster Lane had been acquired for street right of way and drainage in connection with a subdivision, above Foster Lane, an extension of Anderson Lane. There was an 80' right of way dedicated for Anderson Iane. The new subdivision provided for Anderson Lane to go straight through on a 90' right of way, and that new section of Anderson Lane has been paved. The City Attorney showed on a map the area __ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 26, 1967 : : acquired so that Shoal Creek Boulevard could be extended to the north and the area on which the drainage structure could be placed. The City paid $728 for the area for the Shoal Creek Boulevard extension. The subdividers would like to buy 0.92 acres of land for what was paid for the entire tract for the two projects. He compared the usual appraisal policy formula with this offer, and Mr. Jack Andrewartha and Mr. Crozier and others were offering the amount the City had paid for both areas. The City Attorney stated drainage easements would be retained across the property that is sold. Councilman LaRue offered the following resolution and moved its adoption: (RESOLUTION) BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN: That W. T.

Mrs. Tobin's Attorney, MR. JAMES HART, had submitted an assurance that his client would accept the appraised amount for the property and asked that the City enter into an agreement with Mrs. Tobin to allow her to continue occupancy of the house for $100.00 a month to be paid to the city not to exceed five years. She could cancel the agreement any time; and the City could have the property any time it wanted to make public use of it. The City would go ahead and use the property needed for the first phase. The City would own the improvements which would be covered on its schedule of insured properties. The agreement would provide that in the event the improvements were destroyed by fire or windstorm to the extent they were not habitable, there would be no obligation to rebuild. There would be an obligation to rebuild during the five year period, to the extent of the coverage of the insurance proceeds. Councilman LaRue suggested if the loss were of any consequence, he would suggest not rebuilding the structure to the extent of recovery. Only 80% of the market value would be carried by the City. Mayor Palmer suggested establishing a value that if the damage exceeded, the City would not be required to make the structure habitable. Councilman LaRue agreed on $1,200. Mayor Palmer announced the Council was agreeable if the damage exceeded more than $1200 it would be left up to the City to decide whether the repairs should be made or not. The City Attorney listed personal property to be retained under the agreement--a carved wooden mantle piece; a chandelier in the music room and the historical limestone blocks on the terrace walks and driveway.
