REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF PROPERTY City Manager Robert Tinstman appeared before the Council to request any comments the Council members had concerning the release of the City's option to repurchase property presently owned by the Gondolier Hotel on I.H. 35 and Riverside Drive. Originally the land had been under the jurisdiction of the Highway Department but it was transferred to the City in 1962 and then sold to the corporation building the Hotel in 1965 for $7,500. In an attempt to get the property to the Hotel so that construction could begin, the Council at that time drew up a contract with the following restrictions: 1. The land could be used only for parking and landscaping. 2. The City had the right to easement for utilities. 3. The City of Austin reserved the right to purchase all or any of the land at the price paid to the Gondolier Hotel if all or any of the property were needed for public use, the price to be paid irrespective of any improvements on the property. Mr. Tinstman stated that the City became concerned about the question of the improvements and how it would affect the repurchase of the land. He offered four options that he felt were open to the City at that time: 1. The City could set a time limit or a limit on the improvements on the contract. 2. The City could execute a deed to repurchase a part of the property to a mutually agreed-upon line. 3. The City could execute a deed to repurchase all of the land and then by contract or permit allow the Gondolier Hotel to use the land until it was needed. 4. The owners of the Gondolier Hotel, Mr. C. Warren and Mr. O. Harrison, could deed to the City approximately 12,000 square feet and pay $1 per square foot for removal of reservation on the remaining land. Mr. Tinstman said that this had been suggested by Mr. Warren and the question was, "How far back to draw the line?" He was not sure that 12,000 square feet was enough. Mr. A. T. Mullins, representing Mr. Warren and Mr. Harrison presented a short history of the property. He said that no survey was made at the time the land was bought for the Hotel, to determine if there would be room for parking. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 5, 1968 In 1962 the managers were working with the Highway Department to agree upon the specifications for filling in two culverts to provide parking space. The work was stopped one day and the owners were told they were using Highway Department land. The Highway Department in turn told the owners they had to deal through the City to acquire the property. The Governor of Texas executed a deed to the City and the Council drew up a contract. Mr. Warren and Mr. Harrison were anxious to refinance the Hotel but were told that they could not because of the restriction placed on the parking area by the City of Austin. Mr. Mullins pointed out that in the event of the death of one partner, the other would want to buy out the other's share and would not be able to get refinancing because of the same reservation on the property. The sale of the land to another party would also be hendered by the restriction. Therefore, Mr. Mullins proposed that the owners deed to the City 12,000 square feet of the property to keep it on the tax rolls, Mr. Warren and Mr. Harrison would give the City an option to purchase it for 15 years for 13 cents per square foot. The owners also would agree to pay the City $1.00 per square foot, less what they had already paid, for the remaining 18,000 square feet. This would come to $15,660.00. In return, the owners would ask for an instrument whereby the City would release its right to repurchase the land remaining in the original property. The Council discussed severance damages in the event of condemnation proceedings. City Manager Tinstman said that the contract could stipulate that severance damages would be applicable only to the so-called Tract 3, the land to be released by the City. He stated that he was interested in carrying out the intent of the previous Council and expediting matters for the owners of the Gondolier. He was in favor of repurchasing the property and leasing it to the Gondolier Hotel until the City needed it. Councilman LaRue was hesitant about making any statements in the Council meeting, in the event that the case came to litigation. Councilman Long stated that she would like to see the matter settled but that the Council needed more time to talk over the problems. The Council decided to continue this item for one week. RECESSED MEETING 2:00 Ρ.Μ. CABLEVISION INC. COMMUNITY ANTENNA TV CONTRACT Mr. James A. Presnall, representing Cablevision Inc., appeared before the Council asking for a community television antenna contract. He stated that he had drawn up a contract following the contract that the City had with Capitol Cable Company, with the exception of two points: 1. Cablevision, Inc. would serve a limited area--the area lying between the Colorado River, East 19th Street, and east of Interregional 35. =CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS June 5, 1968 2. The company proposed to make available to schools in that area one channel free of charge to provide educational programming. The school could use one of the vacant channels to feed in a tape or film through the cable system. He stated that his client would be serving a section of the City he felt had no similar service. The schools would receive free installation of the first outlet and there would be no service charge. Mr. Presnall stated that he was asking for a public hearing on the contract. He introduced the president of Cablevision, Inc., Mr. Tom Witt, who gave the Council a history of cable television and of his endeavors in the field. Mayor Akin stated that he was not ready to act on the contract without a public hearing. Councilman Long wanted to set a date for public hearing and to have the financial data pertinent to the contract gathered for the edification of the Council. Councilman Nichols moved the Council set the matter for public hearing for June 27 at 10:30 A.M. The motion, seconded by Councilman Long, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Noes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Nichols, Mayor Akin None Present But Not Voting: Councilman Janes COLLECTION AGENCY FOR BRACKENRIDGE HOSPITAL Mr. John Simpson, an administrator of the Brackenridge Hospital, appeared before the Council to request the Council act on the recommendation of the Advisory Board of Trustees of Brackenridge Hospital to engage the services of the Merchants and Professional Bureau Collection Agency, to assist the Hospital in collecting accounts which the Accounting Department was unable to collect. These accounts were to be one year or older. He stated in response to questions from Councilman Long, that any person who made an attempt to make monthly payments would be exempt from action by the collection agency. Mr. Boris Hornburg, General Manager of the Merchants and Professional Bureau, stated that he used the soft-sell in collecting debts, encouraging people to make any payment, even as little as $1 per week. He used a form letter, a copy of which he gave the Council. If there was no response to the letter, the telephone collectors tried to call the persons. After some discussion, Councilman Long asked for a week to think about the matter. Mayor Akin stated that he was ready to give the collection agency a try. Councilman LaRue was also ready to vote but he said he would wait a week. The Council asked to have the collection agency item put on the agenda for the next meeting. • June 5, 1968 - CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY Mr. Eskew stated that the Council had before it a request to consider eminent domain proceedings against Mrs. Wilma Bengston's property at 5700 Fairlane in the event that she did not accept an offer of $19,875 for the house and property. The owner had not had her house appraised but she was asking $22,500 for it. Mr. Benson, an attorney representing Mrs. Bengston, stated that her husband had died the day before he was to appear before the Council and that she had been given an extension. He thought that she should have the property appraised to help her decide whether or not to accept the Council's offer. She had two weeks to do so. Mr. Doren Eskew, City Attorney, stated that there was some urgency, that the City was being pushed to provide land for relocation of water and sewer facilities. He stated that it was a City project as far as the land acquisition was concerned and a state project as far as the actual construction went. Councilman Janes moved the Council indicate that it had reconsidered its previous action on the 5700 Fairlane property and that it had reaffirmed its actions.

The two men had acquired the Palm tract at $7,800 per acre and were an option on the McElroy tract at $10,000 per acre. the same area, which had been purchased for $5,000. City buy 14 1/2 acres of land from the two men at $9,672.34 per acre. In addition Mr. Reeves and Mr. Burns would purchase the option to buy 5 acres of City-owned land, not needed for the MoPac Boulevard right of way at $50,592.00 the first year, $52,000 the second year, and $55,000 the third year, the last year of the option. The most attractive feature of the proposal, according to Mr. Tinstman and Mr. Eskew, was the inclusion that any acreage either additional that the City might need or any acreage in excess that the City did not need, would be either bought or sold at the price of $9672.34. Therefore, there would be no excess land lying between the Reeves-Burns property and MoPac Boulevard. The Council had been asked by Mr. Tinstman to hold off on any action on the proposal for at least one week so that he could gather the necessary data. Council members thought that a firm contract should be agreed upon, rather than an option. They discussed ways to raise the money for the acquisition. Mr. Reeves appeared before the Council to state that the subdivision in question was to appear before the Council in one week for a rezoning hearing. He thought the zoning change would raise the price of the land the City needed so he was offering the proposal before the price went up. Councilman Long thought the City should buy the land it needed then and avoid setting a price on any excess land it might need in the future. Mr. Reeves and Mr. Burns stated their proposal was open until June 15, at which time other business obligations would come due and their plans would change. The Mayor announced that the matter would be brought up in one week. APPOINTMENTS Councilman LaRue moved the Council appoint the following persons to the following Boards: Solicitation Board: Mrs. J.
