The City Manager submitted the following: "Date "Requested By June 25, 1968 Ben Tobias Hospital. Administrator "MEMO TO: Mr. R. M. Tinstman, City Manager FROM: Ben Tobias, Hospital Administrator : SUBJECT: RADIOLOGY EQUIPMENT NEEDS Department Hospital "Your memorandum of May 29, 1968, of the above subject and the attached documents provided by Drs. Hood and DaSilva, have been reviewed. My recommendation is at the end of this memorandum. Comments relative to your memorandum are as follows: "1. The increasing concern of the Medical Staff as to the adequacy of the Radiology equipment is shared by Administration. "2. The deferred equipment purchases over the last several years is a true statement for the following reasons: "a. In planning the proposed hospital expansion, greater priority was given by the Medical Staff to construction of patient rooms. The original pri- ority was to construct new ancillary services including an X-Ray Department. "b. Based on this decision, it was understood by Hospital Administration that there would be problems involving X-Ray equipment in the interim; thus, it was planned that temporary arrangements would be made until a new X-Ray Department could be constructed. October 10, 1968 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS_ : • "3. The apparent increased revenue potential from having adequate equipment is a possibility for several reasons: "a. Labor, parts, and material are estimated by our Hospital Purchasing Agent to be close to $15,000 for 1967-68 which is about $2,000 greater than 1966-67. By securing new equipment some savings would result by reducing this maintenance expense. "b. Adequate equipment would enable the radiologists and the technicians to function with more efficiency which in turn, would enable them to care for a greater number of paying patients if referred by private physicians. "c. Increased revenue potential would be mandatory to cover either cost of equipment paid for from the departmental operating budget or cost of equipment paid for from another source. The following summary is provided for consideration of equipment repair cost for the X-Ray equipment: 4. "Fiscal Year 1964--65 1965--66 1966--67 1967--68 Parts and Labor Material Total $1,290 $ 4,313 = $ 5,603 1,540 16,139 = 17,679 2,265 10,888 = 13,153 2,640 ($6,148 thru April) ($6,000 min. est for balance of year) $14,788 $7,735 TOTAL $43,488 - $51,223 "5. Priority of X-Ray equipment needs can now be considered a top priority. In the past the year-to-year total hospital capital equipment budget has been only $75,000. It was proposed in 1968-69 in the five year operating estimates that we increase this budget amount to $150,000. Now, the tentative estimate of the equipment needs for Brackenridge Hospital excluding X-Ray equipment is at the present time about $177,000 with still a few other departmental requests yet to be submitted. The purchase amount of x-ray equipment, without any carrying charge, has been outlined in a quotation from the General Electirc Company in the amount of $404,870.50. Previous years have always indicated more needs than money budgeted. "6. Offsetting revenue considerations would, of necessity, be available from increases in patient charges and any increases in patient load. The amount of increase in patient charges CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 10, 1968 would amount to about $3.25 per procedure (33,000) to cover the $107,544 per year lease expeпве. "7. Utilization factors in relation to equipment available elsewhere within the community is extremely difficult to assess. The reason is that Brackenridge Hospital as determined by an understanding with other community hospitals, by recommendation of the Booz-Allen and Hamilton Study conducted in the early 1960's, and by the fact of being a governmental hospital, has assumed the responsibility for providing emergency services to Austin, surrounding counties, and the Central Texas area somewhat as a regional medical facility. It is an accepted fact amoung the medical profession and other citizens that Brackenridge Hospital offers (a) the major 24 hour emergency room service with physicians and nursing personnel in surgery, obstetrics, premature nursery, intensive care, inhalation therapy, admitting, blood bank, and any other service needed 24 hours a day. The x-ray equipment, for the benefit of quality patient care, must be physically located with the other emergency back-up services. Therefore, Brackenridge Hospital has a responsibility to have x-ray equipment available for stand-by alone to meet the peak needs of the patient load placed on the hospital, especially on week-ends but equally so during week days when the emergency load is over and above the regular in-patient and out-patient load served. It is obvious from the attached comparison of procedures and current x-ray facilities of Brackenridge Hospital with other community hospital, that Brackenridge has a critical limitation as to the number of diagnostic rooms available. Other comments as to utilization are necessary because there are a great many space needs at Brackenridge at the present time. With the opening of the new beds in it is hoped that several patient bed units in the existing hospital can be converted for space to relieve some of the other departmental needs. One such consideration is moving the Physical Therapy Department to the fourth floor center area. This would be a temporary situation until Phase 1B could be completed and the new Physical Therapy Department opened. This is a tentative thought which requires further coordination and discussion. This would, however, free the existing Physical Therapy area to install the requested two x-ray rooms which are so badly needed to serve the existing patient load and the potential Phase 1B patient load. "8. The funding of x-ray equipment can be handled in several ways: a. A revolving fund basis with the operating budget paying from revenues derived from equipment usage. b. A request to citizens for specific bond money, and c. A lease arrangement with the operating budget paying for the monthly lease amount. More will be said about - CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 10, 1968 : "9. The School of X-Ray Technology being charged as a operating expense has been discussed between the Radiologists and the Administration. This particular educational expense may be somewhat different than other educational programs inasmuch as this training is on-the-job training. The students are used as staff to supplement the x-ray technicians. The source of the hospital's x-ray technicians has been the School of X-Ray Technology. The statement is not correct that Brackenridge Hospital private patients are paying for the School of X-Ray Technology only. The overall charges of the department are determined to cover the expenses of both private and charity patients. The City picks up the charity patients' expense so technically it is divided between the private and staff patient load. "10. The salary schedule for employees of the X-Ray Department along with all City employees has been placed under study by the firm of Griffenhagen-Kroeger of San Francisco. It is hoped that appropriate adjustments can be made where deemed necessary following the results of the study. LEASE OF EQUIPMENT "After holding numerous sessions with the Radiologists, Hospital Purchasing Agent, General Electric sales representative, and Hospital Administration Staff, it appears that the most expeditious way of meeting the x-ray equipment needs and of solving this problem is on a lease of equipment basis. This basis in the long run may be somewhat expensive on the surface, but other factors must be weighed. Considerations favoring the lease of equipment arrangement are as follows: "a. Complete new equipment can be made available as soon as delivery is possible. "b. Complete upgrading of the X-Ray Department can be achieved. "c. Professional satisfaction can also be achieved with the hope that additional radiology (physician) help can be secured to meet the needs. One Radiologist has resigned effective August 1, 1968. "d. On a lease of equipment basis there is no maintenance expense for the equipment leased, which would reduce hospital maintenance expenditure from the standpoint outlined earlier in this memorandum. "e. Obsolenscence would no longer be a factor because after two years on a lease basis, equipment can be replaced without penalty according to what new items are on the market, without major capital expenditures. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 10, 1968. : • : "f. Higher quality patient service can be rendered immediately whereas it is unlikely that the City of Austin can afford to put forth such a sizeable capital expenditure at this time with all the other demands placed on the City. "g. By the nature of pursuing construction of a new hospital, the City of Austin has demonstrated the philosophy of serving as an unrestricted hospital which means serving, private as well as charity or staff patients. Thus, along as paying patients are cared for at this hospital, then they should be entitled to the best for the money which they spend for hospital services. "h. Brackenridge Hospital has been placedin the role of being the cardiovascular and neurological surgery center for this region and this would provide those physicians who have donated their time to be able to have the latest in diagnostic tools. "1. The lease of equipment arrangement would provide an interim period to promote a bond program for constructing the new ancillary facilities including the X-Ray Department as well as including sufficient bond money for actual purchase of radiological equipment at the time of construction. Thus, this is not an indefinite lease arrangement but only an arrangement to carry the hospital over the immediate problem. RECOMMENDATION "In summary, the recommendation would be to lease the attached x-ray equipment described in the attached quotation 1-6118 (four pages) from General Electric Company to match whatever existing equipment can be utilized. Total lease payments per month would be $8,962.35. Several pieces of equipment that are non-leaseable can be purchased with the existing funds available in the Laboratory Trust and Agency Account as agreed by Dr. A. Q. DaSilva, Pathologist, and with funds provided by the Women's Auxiliary. Under the lease of equipment arrangement, at the end of four years if it is desired to purchase the equipment then it is available at 20% of the original cost. Concurrent with the arrangement, if approved, would be the necessity for adjusting the hospital x-ray charges which would be about $3.25 increase per procedure to cover the monthly lease expense. Based on my calculations the following shows a comparison of possible total costs: "PURCHASE LEASE - MONTHLY PAYMENT DIFFERENCE $405,870.50 plus 5 yrs. $ 8,962.35 x 60 months interest at 6% interest = 30% $121,761.00 $527,631.50 TOTAL $537,741.00 TOTAL (Greater for leasing $10,110.00 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 10, 1968 "The above figures are misleading because if a purchase arrangment was made there would be a small trade-in allowance but an additional amount for maintenance, labor, and parts; whereas, under the lease arrangment there would be some trade-in allowance, and the company would assume the maintenance expense on the leased equipment. "Please excuse the lengthy memo but this is essential to adequately covey all aspects of this problem to you. The City Manager submitted the following: "Letter Tb: Honorable Mayor And City Council Subject: Hospital Radiology Equipment Needs "July 11, 1968 "Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council Date: July 11, 1968 From: R. M. Tinstman : City of Austin Austin, Texas Subject: Hospital Radiology Equipment Needs Gentlemen and Mrs. Long: "This is pursuant to the pervious memorandum concerning this subject. "You will each find attached a copy of the memorandum report containing the analysis, conclusions, and recommendations of the Hospital Administrator. "After reviewing this report, this office concurs in the analysis and conclusions and joins in recommending the lease alternative. Of particular significance are (1) the prompt availability of significantly improved equipment, (2) the alleviating of the necessity of a large cash outlay at the present time from the City operating budget, and (3) the availability and flexibility in maintaining adequate and up to date equipment for this purpose in meeting the health and medical needs of our community. The fiscal analysis indicates reasonably comparable results based upon either purchase or lease arrangements. "This office is working with the hospital staff to secure competitive bids on comparable equipment. "This report has been reviewed with the Hospital Advisory Board which has concurred in the recommendations of the Hospital Administrator. "Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any questions or suggestion unless there is objection to the contrary, we will proceed in implementing this program and will also prepare the budget for the next fiscal year based upon lease of the radiology equipment." _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 10, 1968 Councilman Long offered the following resolution and moved its adoption: WHEREAS, bids were received by the City of Austin on September 24, 1968, for the furnishing of equipment and maintenance for Neuro-Cardiovascular Surgical Suit at Brackenridge Hospital; and, WHEREAS, the bid of General Electric Company, X-Ray Department, Dallas, Texas, in the sum of $91,259.00, was the lowest and best bid therefor and the acceptance of such bid has been recommended by the Hospital Administrator 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 General Electric Company, X-Ray Department, Dallas, Texas, in the sum of $91,259.00, be and the same is hereby accepted, and that R.

JIMMIE FARRELL, representing the Board of Directors of the Travis County Electrical Contractors Association, asked that the 1968 policy concerning the Electrical Board be updated to meet the demands and requirements from the ever increasing new constriction. New construction has caused a corresponding increase in the number of electrical contractors. The membership of this Association is composed of a majority of the active electrical contractors in the City; they performed over 75% of all residential wiring last year and paid $85,000 electrical inspection fees. This Association suggests that the City Electrical Board be increased from five to seven members, and that the two additional board members be chosen from their ranks. These additional board members, as well as all the members of their organization are willing to devote time, knowledge and experience to drafting the revised city electrical code; and, their familiarity with the present city and national electrical codes would be an invaluable contribution in this endeavor. Councilman long stated no board member is supposed to represent any group or anybody but the citizens of Austin, and the City is working to see that the code is properly brought up to standards. Mr. Farrell stated their Association felt that as a majority of the electrical contractors, they should have representation which they had never had on this Board. Mr. Farrell offered no change in the composition of the board classifications, but the classifications now are not being met. There is only one master electrician where two are set up (the other being a wholesaler); a working active journeyman electrician is provided on the board, but there is no such on the Board. Councilman Janes called for better definitions of the terms in the composition of the Board. MR. WESLEY COLLIER, Journeyman Electrician, objected to increasing the Board. MR. JOE ATKISON expressed no objection to anything the Council would see fit to do. MR. WELDON LAMB, President of the Travis County Electrical Contractors Association, stated Mr. Collier was the business agent for the local IBW, is not an actibe journeyman electrician; and, he challenged his right to be appointed to the Board in line with the Ordinance. MR. W. K. JENNINGS, member of the Board, said the Board had been functioning to the best of its ability to represent the people and those who came before it with complaints. They try to protect safety of life and property and see that the ordinance is carried out. Referring to Mr. Collier, Mr. Jennings stated he is a man who not only is very familiar with all the electricians working in this area as he refers electricians to the various contractors and various electrical jobs, but he has to know a lot about these mem to function on the referal board. This also qualifies him to represent these people. MR. JACK L. JAMES stated their organization was not trying to remove anyone from the Board, but was asking representation on the Board. On Councilman Janes' second, the motion carried by the following vote: AYES: Councilmen Long, Nichols, Mayor Akin, Councilmen Janes, LaRue NOES: None Councilman long moved that the Council grant the permit for October 27, 1968, from 2:30 P.M. to 4:P.M. for the parade permit of the University committee. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 10, 1968 PARADE PERMIT FOR UNIVERSITY COMMITTEE TO END WAR IN VIET NAM The Council discussed the route to be taken, noting it was to be on the east side of the street, and asked the Committee's cooperation in promptly disassembling after the parade is over. The Council granted the permit, requested by Charles Carin, Faculty Advisor to the University Committee. Councilman Nichols second, the motion carried by the following vote: AYES: Mayor Akin, Councilmen Janes, LaRue, Long, Nichols NOES: None Councilman Janes moved that the request be denied: BANNER REQUEST AT 19TH AND GUADALUPE The request before the Council was for a banner at 19th and Guadalupe from October 14-28th by the University Committee to "End the War in Viet Nam". Councilman LaRue pointed out this was not a routine request in line with the general policy followed by the Council; noting November 5th was a national election, and the intent to have this banner may be a part of an election campaign. Councilman long disagreed and moved that the permit be granted. The Mayor announced the motion died for lack of a second. Mayor Akin stated this was a request for use of City property for advertising or propagandizing a point of view, and the City would be within its rights to withhold permission for such admertising. Councilman LaRue seconded, the motion was denied on the following vote: AYES: Councilmen FaRue, Janes, Nichols, Mayor Akin NOES: Councilman Long Councilman long made the following statement: "I think that this is not a political request. I think it is a request to use a banner just like churches have been allowed to use a banner--churches of different religions--and I do not know if they are trying to force people to join the church or influence them on religion. We have all kinds of banners; for instance I do not know whether the last group was trying to encourage citizens to raise feed and buy horses or what; but I think if the right to have a banner and display it is given to one, ti should be given to another, and that is the position I am taking". Councilman Nichols made the following statement: "I agree with Mrs. Iong certainly, an expression from an individual is not to be denied on any subject; but to be consistent with having removed other banners, I will vote "aye" on Mr. Janes' motion". Mayor Akin commented in regards to comparision between the subject under discussion and banners in the interest of the Live Stock show; CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 10, 1968 It has been indicated this is a controversial issue, and this is one of the guide lines by which matters can be handled in public interest, and he voted "aye" on the motion. On Councilman Long's motion the Council, instructed the City Manager to have the Health Department to work with the Austin Housing Authority to see if something about rat eradications could not be done in a hurry in the Austin Housing Authority Project. RODENT DISCUSSION MRS. GLADYS HENNINGTON, Booker T. Washington Housing Project, spoke about the rat and roach problem at this Project, and hada petition which they presented to Mr. Gurley, Manager of the Booker T. Washington Project, and Mr. Harmon Hodges, Austin Housing Authority, concerning this problem. Also she had a list of those who had been bitten by rats. Mr. Hodges had told them he would get estimates on having exterminators to eradicate these rodents and insects; but instead he set up box-traps with poison in them. Rats were inside her apartment and were eating her food. Rats, she was told, caused hepatitis, and eight people had been bitten. Mrs. Hennington issued a complaint against the Housing Authority. Councilman long pointed out the Council and Health Department were concerned about the rats. Since policies for the Projects are set by the Austin Housing Authority, this group shoudl appear before that Authority. She understood that Mr. Hodges had the complete project treated. She said they would ask the City Health Department and also the Housing Authority to get busy on this program. Mrs. Hennington stated each time she had contacted Mr. Hodges, he asked them to get 15 men to volunteer to take training for rat exterminating. In answer to Councilman Janes' inquiry, Mrs. Hennington stated there are 300 units in the project, and they had 260 signatures on the petition. Councilman Janes asked if they could not get 15 people out of that number to learn this redent control. Councilman Janes stated the City is going to cooperate all that it can to help alleviate this problem, at urged the people to inform and educate themselves so they can control this thing in the future; and if training has been made available, surely they could get at least 10 or 12 people to start. Mrs. Hennington made a complaint on the Booker T. Washington Project Manager, in that he did not keep the grass cut, and threw the trash out the back door. Councilman long said this was the policy that they should discuss before the Board. She referred Mrs. Hennington to Dr. Exalton Delco, a member of the Housing Authority. Mr. Jorge Guerra, elected representative of the Booker T. Washington Advisory Committee; president of the Govalle P. T. A., also discussed the rat problem stating it would be useless to pay exterminating charges each month, when there were breeding grounds for miles around. He reported extensive dumping on a ten acre tract, of commodes, street materials, etc., and that it had been recommended that this area be condemned and acquired by the City which then would use bulldozers to clear the area. Councilman long said something could be done through the Legal Department to stop the dumping. Extensive discussion was held on this area, the efforts to keep it cleared; the inability to file suits on those who dumped the filth; and the suits filed on property owners to keep their property free from filth and impurities. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 10, 1968 EDITH JONES read from Stitts' Diagnosis and Prevention, concerning the Bubonic Plague, and gave statistics of its occurrence in the United States, particularly in the seaboard states; although ground rodents spread the disease. MR. BARNETT, Chairman of the Neighborhood Advisory Committee, reported this problem has occurred many times; and unfortunately they were not able to get volunteers to take this training course as readily as they were or would like to. The primary concern was to interest the people to help themselves, and this would be done only be getting the cooperation of the Health Department. As to the dumping, people are ignoring the signs and dump their debris at the most convenient place. He urged the City to pursue its course in getting the property owners to clear these lots. Councilman Long noted this rodent problem was city wide, and is one the whole city will be working together on to rid it of this rat population. Councilman LaRue said the Human Opportunities Corporation was working on this problem, and Mr. Youngblood had volunteered his service and contributed some of the poison. He emphasized the cooperation then of the individuals. The City Manager expressed awareness of the weed and rodent problems. There are ordinances prohibiting dumping, and he urged those who observed a truck dumping illegally to take down the license number, contact the Police Department, and file a complaint. Besides removing the weeded places, the gargage cans must have their lids kept on and not left open. He pledged the City's cooperation. As to vacant lots, the property owner is responsible for keeping the lot cleared--free of stagnant water, weeds, tall grass, rubish, trash, and other objectionable matter, but he is not responsible for the acts of someone else's dumping these on his property. Discussion followed on contacts between owners of vacant lots and excavators to dump for fill pruposes; but unauthorized truckers dump where most convenient. Councilman Janes stated if two or three of these people were apprehended and filed on there would be less trouble in the future. It is a contin- uing practice and an educational matter. vote: Councilman Nichols' second the motion which carried by the following AYES: Councilman Nichols, Mayor Akin, Councilmen Janes, LaRue, Long NOES: None MONTHLY PERSONAL BOND REPORT On Councilman LaRue's motion, the Council noted recepit of the Monthly personal. Bond Report. vote: Councilman Janes' second the motion which carried by the following AYES: Councilmen Janes, LaRue, Long Nichols, Mayor Akin NOES: None CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 10, 1968 Councilman Janes' moved to receive the report, of business research and for this project to be incorporated in the next Capital Improvement Program. REPORT FROM BUREAU OF BUSINESS RESEARCH CONVENTION AND COMMUNITY CENTER Councilman LaRue stated the Convention and Commmunity Center Report is excellent; and with the comments of the City Manager and his proposals, he suspected this would be in keeping with the feelings of the Council. Mayor Akin had reservations about the report as it did not include a comprehensive evaluation of the location or proposed to join an Arena to the existing Auditorium; nor did it include the study of a Fine Arts Complex or a Civic Center. The piece meal planning indicated in this report offers no good approach. The City Manager commented the purpose of this study and a part of the agreement with the University Research Development was to determine the economic feasibility of a new Coliseum and projecting the requirements for the City for the next 20 years. The site question was included, but the major purpose was the feasibility. Councilman Long questioned the adequacy of parking in the area to accomodate a large area like this could be. The evaluation was to determine where would be the best place of certain facilities along with an evaluation of a civic center and this type of thing. Councilman LaRue stated the studies had been completed; and after studying the report thoroughly, he thought all the indications were that it is not only feasible, but highly desirable. Councilman Janes stated the City Manager covered the items well in his recommendation. The City Manager said the matter needs evaluation in relation to the total Capital Improvement Program. The City upon receiving an economic feasibility report, on one project alone could not approve or endorse it, as it is a total evaluation in relation to the total community. Mayor Akin inquired about the comprehensive study, the Hoffman Report, which was a comprehensive study of the community needs and included a plan of the downtown area. He said it would be amiss not to dust off this report and proceed further with the survey. Councilman Long stated this was a Socioeconomic report, and it is appropriate to be evaluated before other studies are mde and see how it fits in with this one and other studies. As to the Hoffman Plan, Councilman LaRue stated this material is used in reports that go out of City Hall to the Federal Government and is basic information used by builders, contractors, and developers. The City Manager stated this community data would be a part of the review and consideration of the Capital Improvement Program. Councilman Long said the General Neighborhood Improvement Program would not have received approval by the Federal Government had this report not been made. MR. GALE ESSARY reported on long range and short range planning generally. he congratulated the Council on the adoption of the Budget and for the five cent reduction in the ad valorem taxes. He mentioned his efforts in getting the Cable Companies to charge less than $5.00 for service with no connection fees, an had taken a great interest in the Sales Tax promotion. Today he wanted to discuss Fiscal Reforms and Planning, asking the Council to initiate a Study CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 10, 1968 : : Committee to analyze and propose a complete report of Austin's sources of revenue. The aim would be to provide more services with revenue collected from the users of those services and to explore ways to reduce or eliminate property taxes. He proposed a number of revenue sources that could be analyzed and passed on to such a committee: (1) Establish a Master Plan for downtown between IH 35 and Iamar south of 4th Street; provide for beauty, transportation, incentives for relocation of traffic patterns and railway oriented industries; structures which would compliment and enhance Town Lake Plan; apartment houses for private development of thousands of highrise and garden residential units, thereby slowing suburban ex- pansion. (2) Establish a multi-use civic center, a theatre for the performing arts, convention hall, entertainment complex all with in the public buildings, apartments, office or retail complexes established in that vicinity. To renew the downtown shopping area, plan huge enclosed centers with enough facilities that apartment residents could enjoy first rate entertainment without ever leaving his complex; and the construction of a new comprehensive City Hall around Congress and 2nd Street. (3) As a revenue source, the City could obtain revenue in lieu of taxes by providing in this complex the million wquare feet required by State Offices for the next five years by leasing the office space to the State. (4) Use the sales tax for luxury items, or increase the sales tax to two cents, keeping the current exemptions and providing the basis for further home owners' tax reduction, increasing the sales tax as a growth tax. (5) The City could lobby for a return to Austin of Federal Income t taxes to a reasonable proportion of the taxes collected from Austin citizens. Obtain legislation for local option elections consolidating city and county government; and to create a multiCounty Hospital District, with legislation to permit surrounding counties to allocate funds to Brackenridge Hospital for those counties' indigent patients. (6) Perhaps allowing the Cable company to charge $9.59 per month, and the City collect 15% gross tax fee, thus providing $100,000 additional; and provide the Cable system, if diligent enough, to take advantage of its potential up to $1,000,000. (7) Consideration of turning over the operation of the utilities to a private company which would be willing to compete with other fuels. These were only ideas that could be compiled and analyzed by such a Committee as he proposed. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 10, 1968 Mayor Akin thanked Mr. Essary for bringing these very comprehensive suggestions to the Council. Councilman IaRue stated this was a very stimulating report, and the Council would do well to study this carefully. On Councilman LaRue's second, the motion to receive the report, and that appreciation be expressed to the Bureau, and that this project to incorporated as appropriate in the next Capital Improvement Program, carried the follow- ing vote: AYES: Mayor Akin, Councilmen Janes, LaRue, Long, Nichols NOES: None Councilman lakue moved that the Council note receipt of the Fiesta Garden Report and that it be placed on the Agenda vote: • Councilman Nichols' seconded, the motion was carried by the following AYES: Councilmen Janes, LaRue, Long, Nichols, Mayor Akin NOES: None RECESSED MEETING At 2:00 P.M. the Council resumed its business. 2:00 Ρ.Μ. Councilman Iong moved the request be granted of the Loyal Order of the Moose Lodge No. 1735 for temporary use of sidewalk space for ticket booths. REQUEST OF LOYAL ORDER OF THE MOOSE LODGE FOR TEMPORARY USE OF SIDEWALK SPACE FOR TICKET BOOTH The City Manager stated the Austin Hotel had committed itself to the use of their area, and the Moose Lodge is aware of this; and if the Council will approve one location downtown, they will go to a Shopping Center for their other location. The Council approved the ticket booths as recommended by the City Manager; and the request of the Shrine Circus to place a booth at the Austin Hotel from October 13 through November 2nd. vote: Councilman Nichols seconded, the motion was carried by the following AYES: Mayor Akin, Councilmen Janes, LaRue, Long, Nichols NOES: None Councilman Long moved the Council grant permission to lay mains by Southern Union Gas Company.

The motion, seconded by Councilman LaRue carried by the following vote: AYES: Mayor Akin, Councilmen Janes, LaRue, Long, Nichols NORS: None HOLLY UNIT NO. 4 Report and Consider Authorizing Contract for Engineering Service The City Manager reported consideration was taken in the summer to anticipate the future generating requirments, and whether the next unit should be at Holly 4 or to continue with the prospective Decker No. 2. In answer to Councilman Nichols' inquiry about the continuance of Brown and Root Engineers, the City Manager, MR. TINSTMAN, stated there is considerable benefit and much to gain by using the same engineers, particularly on the additional unit at No. 4, as they are the most familiar engineers with that Plant and operations. Councilman Janes agreed, commenting the City is buying power capacity at a lower rate than it was in 1960, and it represents about the lowest rate in the country. Councilman long asked for substantuating figures. Councilman LaRue was interested in the $21,000 in the report indiciating if the same equipment were used, the _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 10, 1968 the manufacturer's bid would be reduced by some $21,000. Mr. Morris, Brown, & Root Engineers, explained the specification, stating it had to do with the boiler steel. If the same boiler is used, the design of the boiler steel would be the same, and that would be the savings. If the bids did not come in $21,000 cheaper for a new one, then it would be better to go with the old one. This is the evaluation to be made to the best advantage of the City to take this into account. If the old manufacturer bid $121,000, and the new manufacturer bid $90,000 for his, it would be cheaper to go with the new one rather than the first one, because the price would be $10,000 over-all cheaper. The new manufacturer starks out with a $21,000 disadvantage. There was a savings of $96,000 on the boiler steel at Holly No. 2, and Mr. Morris stated if this boiler is identical and this steel is the same, the City would save $21,000. Credit on the engineering fee of $21,000 would be realized. This item of the specifications was discussed at great length and in detail, and the City Manager stated this would not preclude any competitive bidding on the boiler itself, and the bids would be open. Mr. Tinstman stated he had insisted that the Electiric Utility people, and the Counsulting Engineers check with the manufacturers to see if they can submit bids, and that they get womething in writing to that effect. Councilman LaRue stated that was his only question. Mr. Morris stated there would be 800 more tons of structural steel in this bid, and a new market. Discussion was hled on building this unit at Holly Street rather than adding on to the Decker Plant. This had to do with the water requirements and the contract with the L.C.R.A., which they did not have before. Councilman LaRue discussed the comparison of cost in the unit just completed and this unit, stating it is not necessarily true that the City was gling to come up with more or less the same unit that had just been completed, and they should not expect the cost on this one to be substantially lower than the one just completed. Also Councilman long mentioned the Parks Plan included a swimming area, and asked if they could get the swimming area fixed for swimming at the same time that preparations are being made to route the warm water over the dam. The matter was deferred The Council decided with the magnitude and complexities of this project that the Council should have more time to study it over. until the following week. RECOGNITION OF JUDGE MCCLENDON Presentation of Painting of Mayor Mc Donald JUDGE MCCLENDON presented to the City Council an original oil painting of MAYOR MCDONALD, the Mayor who built the first dam. The picture is almost 100 years old, and was sent to Jidge McClendon by the grandson, Mr. Roy A. Mc Donald, now an attorney in New York City. Judge McClendon said if the Council would like to have this picture, he would be glad to donate it. He also left some historical literature not only on the original dam, but on all of the others. He wanted to hang the picture in the City Hall for a week to give the citizens an CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 10, 1968 : opportunity to see it; and for the Council to decide if it wanted to accept it. On Councilman Janes' motion, Councilman Nichols' second, the Council accepted the picture for temporary display, and to decide on permanent display later. Judge McDlendon volunteered to pay for theft insurance and insurance not covered by the City up to $500, and the City could send him the bill. Mayor Akin stated that the City would not send the bill, they were just trying to establish the value. He said the picture would be placed at an appropriate place in the City Hall, and good care would be taken of it. He expressed appreciation of Judge McClendon offer. vote: Councilman Janes' offered the motion the City Council accept the picture.

Li CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 10, 1968 The motion, seconded by Councilman LaRue, carried by the following vote: AYES: Councilman Nichols, Mayor Akin, Councilmen Janes, LaRue, Long NOES: None ACQUISITION OF RIGHT OF WAY FOR MOPAC AND WEST 29TH ST. 1011-13-15 Winsted Iane The City Attorney reported on January 25th, the Council approved a contract to buy the property at 1011-13-15 Winsted Lane for $53,700 and the owner has advised now that he would like to reinvest his money and close the deal now on the analysis which was made of it. This consists of three duplexes with a total revenue of $540 a month. Assuming a 4.4% interest rate, but not including any upkeep, loss of taxes or any other incidentals, this would save the City approximately $343 a month by closing now rather than waiting until January 25th. There might be a risk of vacancy, some loss of tax revenue since the taxes will be prorated the day of closing, but it is estimated there would be at least $300 a month savings to the City by closing now. Councilman Nichols moved to acquire the properties at 1011-13-15 Winsted Lane at $53,700 from MR. WILLIAM TURMAN, for MoPac right of way and 15th Street, in the 2nd Phase of construction of Missouri Pacific Boulevard. The motion, seconded by Councilman Janes, carried by the following vote: AYES: Councilmen LaRue, Iong, Nichols, Mayor Akin, Councilman Janes NOES: None 801 West 29th Street The City Manager explained this property is necessary for early acquisition, and he was asking Council guidance on its purchase now. vote: Councilman long moved to acquire this property for $16,500. Councilman IaRue seconded the motion, and was carried by the following AYES: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Nichols, Mayor Akin, Councilman Janes NOES: None AUDIT OF TRAFFIC TICKETS Councilman long brought up the question of the handling of traffic tickets, stating the most recent comment was from a Minister from South Austin concerning tickets that are either pending or have not been processed, or pigeon holed. The Council, on Councilman Long's motion, Councilman LaRue's second, voted to instruct the City Manager to have MR. BILL HARRISON to audit those tickets and find out how many have been dismissed in the last two years; how many pending and not processed; how many under the present Judge have been stacked up and are not being processed, and any other pertinent information that might clear up some of the rumors that have been floating around in the City of Austin, and report back to the Council; and in processing of this audit, to have the reasons for dismissals brought out. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 10, 1968 Councilman laRue agreed with Councilman Long's approach to this; that this problem has been before the Council for three or four weeks, and has been in and out of the Council Chamber, Executive Sessions and in the newspaper and other news media. He stated the public was entitled to clarification of the questions raised. The question was first raised in a letter by Rev. Edward Manning, addressed to the Honorable Harry Akin, Mayor; and on the basis of this letter and the allegations contained therein, the Council should invite Reverend Manning to come before the Council in open session, and others who have knowledge of these allegations, giving them an opportunity to discuss this in open session. On Councilman LaRue's motion, Councilman Janes' second, the Council voted to extend an invitation to REVEREND MANNING or anyone else who might have pertinent knowledge of these allegations to come before the Council in open session and that they be given an opportunity to discuss this question in open session. Councilman Janes noted the serious allegations made; and if there are a number of tickets being improperly ahndled, he would like to know; and if not, the air should be cleared. Mayor Akin expressed regrets ther had been so much speculation surrounding the Corporation Court in and out of the news media. At this stage, the Council was interested in factual determinations, and an audit of the real evidence gained at the source would be in the better interest of the kind of approach rather than continuing to engage in hear-say, and speculation. Councilman Janes' belief was that information should be sought from whatever source available. Councilman Janes moved to have the traffic tickets audited. The motion, seconded by Councilman LaRue, carried by the following vote: AYES: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Nichols, Mayor Akin, Councilman Janes NOES: None CORPORATION COURT PROCEDURES Councilman Janes stated that sometime back, the Council had discussed asking the Bar Association to help look over the Court procedures. Councilman Nichols reported a month or so ago, they were trying to get together some recommendations and present them. Councilman LaRue asked if a list of the Committee were available. Mayor Akin stated MR. HUME COFER was Chairman, and the Committee is made up in the main of prominent members of the legal profession, including the County Attorney and one member of the Council, Mr. Nichols. Councilman Nichols stated he would get in touch with Mr. Cofer and reactivate the Committee. COMPLAINTS ON AMBULANCE SERVICE Councilman Long reported a number of calls from people who had received letters from the Austin Ambulance Service that were rather sharp, and threatening them with suit if they did not pay their bill immediately. Every one of those people said they had insurance, and medicare; that at the time they were transported they gave the information concerning their medicare status and name of their insurance company. One person had received a notice from the medicare welfare people that $20.00 had been paid on her particular bill; yet she receives this letter with a dun for $25.00. Each who had complained had contacted the welfare people and was told the case was being processed. She asked that in_ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 10, 1968 formation be obtained about the ambulance company's accepting the insurance policies and medicare, rather than threatening to sue these people. The Council, on Councilman LaRue's motion, Councilman Janes' second voted that the mayor invite a representative from the Austin Ambulance Company to come by and present some answers to these questions, explain their policies, their treatment of the sick, and how many indigent people for the City of Austin they are transferring permonth, as soon as possible: AYES: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Nichols, Mayor Akin, Councilman Janes NOES: None FUNDS FOR A COMPREHENSIVE CRIME CONTROL PROGRAM Councilman LaRue said there was a statement last week attributed to Governor Smith to the effect that there was to be a sum of money available to the State of Texas from the "Crime in the Streets Program"; and in his statement, it was implied that a comprehensive crime control program would have to be forthcoming from the State prior to its sharing in this money. He suggested that Austin get its report ready at the same time, if it is going to share in the State funds. The City Manager reported they had been in touch with the Governor's Office and had submitted a preliminary application, and he would have a report to the Council not later than next Monday. -------- A citizen in the Council Chamber discussed surplus property with a house on it at the southwest corner of 29th and Salado. Exchange of property was mentioned. He was asked to put his offer in writing. The City Manager stated his office would look into this. The City Manager stated Mr. Jacobson, who is in the business of Civic Center Developments is coming through Austin, and it might be well to schedule a meeting with him. The Council went into Executive Session to appoint Election Officials. On Councilman Nichols motion, Councilman Long's second, the Council appointed these judges as indicated and authorized that the Presiding Judge fill any vacancies or additional clerks if needed. The Council memtioned discussing the protocol of the program worked out with the County and Horticulturist. On Councilman LaRue's motion, Councilman Nichols' second, the Council adjourned at 4:40 P.M. AYES: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Nichols, Mayor Akin, Councilman Janes NOES: None October 10, 1968 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS ELECTION OFFICIALS APPOINTED Councilman Nichols moved the Council appoint Election Officials as indicated by the list which the Council had reviewed and authorize the Presiding Judge to fill any vacancies or add additional clerks if needed.
