Mr. E.H. Smartt, representing Mr. and Mrs. Renke, opposed the one-way movement because it affected property owned by his client. Mr. James W. Townsend, representing Mr. and Mrs. Rutledge, opposed the one-way movement for the same reason. Mr. Renke also spoke in opposition and discussed the problem with the Council. After a lengthy discussion among the Council and the interested parties, the Council agreed to look at the area under discussion during lunch before reaching a decision. RECESSED MEETING AFTERNOON SESSION 2:00 P.M. Mayor Akin called the meeting to order. NATURAL GAS FUEL SUPPLY DECKER GENERATING FACILITES The Council took up the matter of the natural gas fuel supply for the Decker generating facilities, which had been continued from the meeting of January 9th. Mr. Jack Ware, representing Coastal States was present to answer any questions from the Council. Mr. Dan Crowley, representing Southern Union Gas Company, was also present. January 16, 1969 =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS The Council considered several modifications to the two proposals which had been discussed on January 9th. Whether or not the City should build and maintain the pipeline to Decker, the length of time covered by the contract being negotiated and cost were discussed by the Council. It was decided to hold a decision on the matter in abeyance while the staff made some additional effort to restate or refind the alternatives. The item was to be continued. TAX APPEALS Prior to the hearing of the Tax Appeals scheduled for 2:30 P.M., City Attorney Cortez rendered the opinion that the Council did have jurisdiction and authority to hear appeals from property which is within the Austin Independent School District, but which is not within the City Limits of the City of Austin, and that any appeal taken from the Board of Equalization must be made in writing to the City Council before the adoption of the tax rolls by the Council. Any appeal taken after that time would be untimely and outside the jurisdiction of the City Council. Also, any person who had not appealed before the Equalization Board could not be heard by the Council. The Mayor asked by a show of hands how many individuals had not appealed their tax cases to the Tax Equalization Board. Mr. Silas J. Foster stated that he was out of the country from September 5 to September 30. When he returned home he found a notice that he was to appear before the Board of Equalization on September 26. His case was not heard by the Council, but he did have access to the courts. Mrs. Louise Snider stated that she did not get a notice, called in October to find out why not, and was told that the notice would probably come out in November since the Tax Department was running behind. She had rendered her taxes last year. She never received the notice of the meeting to hear appeals by the Board of Equalization when her valuation was changed. After some discussion, it was agreed that Mr. deSteiger, Mrs. Snider and Mr. Klitgaard get together and try to resolve the matter. Mr. Klitgaard stated that he needed time to collect all of the records, but that he would be back in touch with Mr. Harris (Mrs. Snider's son) when he reassembled all of the records. The Council then agreed to hear only those cases which had been before the Tax Equalization Board. The following Tax Appeals were heard: January 16, 1969 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Mr. Klitgaard stated that there was litigation in process which might change the agricultural income qualification because the particular law was difficult to interpret. Councilwoman Long stated that she would contact the appropriate legislative committee in the State to see if a ruling could be obtained from the Attorney General on what qualified as agricultural income. City Attorney Cortez stated that in his opinion under the constitution the Tax Assessor-Collector has the authority to determine what qualified as agricultural income and that there was no provision for an appeal to the Council. Councilman LaRue stated that Mr. Ireland should base his appeal on the agrument that his land was not worth $300 per acre as appraised. Mayor Akin felt that there should be a new basis for determining the value of property such as Mr. Ireland's. He thought that taxes had gotten too high to be realistic. Mr. Klitgaard stated that he would probably have to agree with the Mayor that taxes did work a hardship on a great many people. He felt, though, that the valuations placed on the area under discussion were fair and not based on isolated sales. MARY J.

She supported the idea of a $100 per acre reduction. She also felt that the property was valued too high. Councilman LaRue stated that the taxes were set by someone else and that the Council could not give her relief in that area. The only thing that the Council could do was to determine the fair market value of the property. January 16, 1969 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS JOHN R.

He thought the tax was just double what it should be. Most of the land was used for range to keep horses, and he lived on the 22-acre tract. The only recent sales in the area were for two small tracts of eight and 15 acres at $580 and $700 per acre, respectively. R.D.
