The Associated City Manager reported a number of these parcels were the 10' and 15' strips off the back of properties that do not require Council approval.

He emphasized the intent of the Council is, if possible, to meet all the deadlines extablished by the State Highway Department. The fact that they are paying for the construction inside the City limits is something for which Austin can always be thankful He urged doing everything possible to meet these deadlines; and if it ever looks as though there is a problem, it should be brought back to the City Council.

MEETING WITH HOUSING AUTHORITY Councilman Gage inquired if a meeting with the local Housing Authority had been arranged. The Mayor stated the Council had appointed this Commission, and he felt sure the Housing Authority would be more than willing to meet with the Council at any time. SUSQUEHANNA LANE SITUATION Councilman Gage inquired about the status and if there were any kind of conclusion reached. The Director of Public Works reported the developer had assumed the responsibility, the work is to be accomplished and taken out of the refund contract.

The Associate City Manager, Mr. Gene Higgins reported the Retirement and Pensioning System had been under study for some time; had been studied by the Actuary, the Retirement System Board, and the staff, all recommending the proviCITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS August 21, 1969 The sions to provide for an annual cost-of-living adjustment. After all obligations have been met by the retirement fund, then an increase to the City's retirees could be made up to 15%. The Finance Director explained the Charter specified that the Retirement system have an annual study to determine its actuarial soundness. Two increases in the benefits had been provided for during the past five years. In reviewing the system, he stated that five years ago, 1 1/8% times one's years of service for the best five years of the last 10 years was paid. This percentage was increased to 1.25 times approximately three years ago. value of the fund had been increasing at such a rate, the Actuary and the Administration felt that further improvements could be made in the benefits. In lieu of making another 1/8 of 1% increase now, both the Actuary and Administration felt that some consideration should be given to those already retired. A percentage to one's earnings applies only to future retirees; but a cost-of-living index based on the Bureau of Labor statistics as outlined in this ordinance. The Retirement Board unanimously adopted this recommendation, and in turn recommended that an ordinance be brought to the City Council. A percentage to one's earinings applies only to future retirees; but a cost-of-living-index increase influences those who have retired. The Actuary in his study last December recommended to the Retirement Board that it adopt the cost-of-living-index based on the Bureau of Labor statistics as outlined in this ordinance. Mr. Barker, in answer to Mayor LaRue's question, stated the benefits would decrease when the cost-of-living payments go down. He explained the technical provisions that this amendment was a supplement to the bease formula. Councilman Johnson brought up the question of full returement based on length of service. The Finance Director explained the results of a study made along with this line, stating in lieu of the present cost of 4d to the City and 4% to the employee, with a certain portion for an employee's base pay guaranteed, the annual input into the wywtem would be 30% - 15% for the employee and 15% for the City. The Charter limits the City's contribution to 5%. He also explained the basis of the actuarial reducation, should one withdraw the reduced amount and invest in at 6%. Councilman Mac Corkle noted this system is better than the Texas Municipal Retirement System. The Finance Director stated the benefits are better, and the system is actuarially sound.
