=CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS MINUTES OF THE CITY COUNCIL CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Regular Meeting July 10, 1969 9:00 Α.Μ. COUNCIL CHAMBERS, CITY HALL The Meeting was called to order with Mayor LaRue presiding. Roll Call: Present: Absent: Councilmen Atkison, Gage, Johnson, MacCorkle, Price, Mayor LaRue Councilman Janes The Council recited the Lord's Prayer as the Invocation. COMMUNITY COUNCIL Mr. Homer Scase, Chairman of the Long Range Planning Committee introduced to the Council various members of the Community Council. Mr. Victor Ravel, Chairman of the Committee on City Programs, presented the subcommittee report to the Council. The following summary of recommendations in order of priority was presented. HEALTH, WELFARE AND RECREATION SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE CITY OF AUSTIN Summary of Recommendations in Order of Priority FIRST PRIORITY (Major increase in attention, funds, planning) RECOMMENDATION: Emergency Medical Care is well developed at Brackenridge Hospital, but the service remains a first priority because of the need for new facilities. July 10, 1969 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS RECOMMENDATION: The city and the county, in increasing their support for the MH-MR Center, should recommend initiating and expanding prevention programs in mental health and mental retardation. This should have first priority over the next three to five years. RECOMMENDATION: Family Planning Services have not been used to capacity by the families most needing the service. More effective outreach and public education is needed. This service should be given first priority in public education, planning and increased funding as use of the service increases. The Long Range Planning Committee calls attention to the lack of a coordinated crisis intervention service in Austin or a system for immediate referral to mental health services. The Community Council would be pleased to work with the City and others in finding a solution to the operational problems in providing this service. SECOND PRIORITY (Continued increase in attention and funds) RECOMMENDATION: Day Care service of MH-MR is now an acceptably developed service which should be continued as a second priority in the city services. RECOMMENDATION: Although Public Health Nursing is well developed and professionally staffed, there is both a need for additional nurses and for a second location in or a mobil unit for a low income high density area. This service should have second priority in developing its preventive services and third priority in crisis intervention. RECOMMENDATION: Inpatient general medical care is well developed at Brackenridge Hospital and should be supported at the proposed building cost as a second priority over the next three to five years. THIRD PRIORITY (Normal increase to take care of cost of living and growth) RECOMMENDATION: Civil Defense should continue to be supported at the present level, allowing for increases with the growth of the city; it should be treated as a third priority within city services. RECOMMENDATION: Federal contributions to the MH-MR Center are guided by a federal-nonfederal formula which decreases more rapidly than in other federal programs. The Center's programs are now well organized, badly needed, and early evalua- tion shows them more economical than long term mental hospital care. This is a third priority service among city supported services. RECOMMENDATION: Environmental Sanitation should continue to be supported as a third priority, allowing for increases with the growth of the city. July 10, 1969 =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS RECOMMENDATION: Physical Education and Athletics is very well developed by the Austin Parks and Recreation Department, excellently supported by the City of Austin, and therefore should be considered a third priority for further development over the next three to five years. RECOMMENDATION: Social Recreation and Cultural Arts should continue to be supported at the present level, allowing for increases with the growth of the city. Because this is a well developed program it should receive third priority within the city services over the next three to five years. RECOMMENDATION: As new school facilities are planned, the Austin Independent School District should give serious consideration to including a community wing (such as a gym, auditorium, playground, and library, for example), which could house those programs to which the public might have access outside of the school day without the necessity of opening the classroom section of the schools. RECOMMENDATION: Psychiatric Outpatient Care given through the MH-MR Center should have third priority over the next three to five years, giving the Center time to stabilize its finances and to increase its emphasis on prevention services RECOMMENDATION: The Community Council has endorsed the phase 1B of Brackenridge construction which will include new waiting room, clinics, and expanded space for the Social Service Department. This committee also endorses the new construction, with the note that greater pressures may then be put on recruiting staff. The committee encourages the hospital to continue to improve this staffing in terms of training social service and other case aides so that they will have a better understanding of the job, the philosophy of outpatient care, and the problems faced by the patients. This is a well developed service and third priority. RECOMMENDATION: The Children's Dental Clinic is a well developed service which should be continued under Health Department auspices should OEO funds be discontinued. It should have third priority support over the next three to five years.
