Lindsey appeared before the Council to protest the ugly, run-down, and unsanitary conditions in the Blackshear area, and to ask the Council to reconsider setting a public hearing for residents to discuss the Neighborhood Development Program. Mrs. Olive D. Brown also requested that the Council allow the citizens of the Blackshear area to hold a hearing and to determine as soon as possible if they will join the Program. Mr. Smith said that originally he was against the Urban Renewal Program but that now he felt the added benefits and long term moving allowances made the Program more acceptable to residents. Councilman Johnson said he wanted what the majority of the residents wanted and that he thought the neighbors should unite and decide what it was they really wanted. Mayor LaRue stated that the Council would take the matter under advisement and give the residents some notice. PUBLIC HEARING ON BUS ORDINANCE Mr. Dan Felts, attorney for Transportation Enterprises Inc., explained the position of TEI on its shuttle bus operation in the University of Texas area. His client had been stopped from operating shuttle service for fraternities and sororities by the Austin Transit Corporation, the City bus operator. TEI then asked for a franchise but was denied by the City Council, whereupon Austin Transit Corporation took up the same operation. When the University of Texas opened bids for a shuttle service, TEI bid the lowest contract and became the operator of the service. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 4, 1969 At this point, the Austin Transit Corporation filed suit to block the contract with the University and was joined in the suit by the City of Austin. Judge Myers denied the temporary injunctions against TEI on August 7, 1969. Mr. Felts then stated that the shuttle service was for University staff, students, and faculty only; that patrons would not be putting fares in a box on the bus; and proposed routes would not duplicate Austin Transit routes in existence. Mr. Felts asked the Council to allow the ordinance on bus service remain as it stood and not to amend it to prevent TEI from operating the shuttle service. Mr. Frank Denius, attorney for the Austin Transit Corporation, stressed the importance of issuing a franchise to each public transportation operator in the City to insure uniform service for the Austin citizens and to give the City the power to tax that company for the wear and tear on the city streets caused by the buses. He pointed out the loop-hole in the ordinance which allows a service which does not require the deposit of fare in a box on the vehicle to operate without a franchise, and he asked that the ordinance be amended to close the hole. He added that Austin Transit would ask for permission to discontinue its routes in the University area. He requested the City Legal Department to "consider its support of the public interest in regulating bus service by appeal to the District Court." Mr. Glenn Brown stated that there were only a few days left for either Austin Transit Corporation to make an application to continue its franchise or for another company to apply. The suits could determine who would want the franchise with the City so Mr. Denius asked the City to act soon. There is a 90 day period between the time that an application for the franchise is filed and the time the service may begin. Councilman Gage stressed that he felt the Council needed to make its position clear on the matter at that time. Mayor LaRue felt the Council should take time to study the problem before taking a stand. Councilman Johnson did not want to change the ordinance but he did want the Council to take action to insure that the City would have bus service. Mr. Bob Lusk registered a complaint with the Council concerning the lack of air conditioning on 20% of the City's buses. He said that with rising rates and continued promises by Austin Transit Corporation, he felt all buses should have been air conditioned by that time. Mayor LaRue asked if there were suggestions for attracting applicants for the bus franchise. Councilman Johnson asked about advertising nationally but it was mentioned that there was only one week before the deadline. The Council members then discussed the wording of the bus ordinance. After a lengthy discussion, the Mayor announced that the matter would be recessed and continued at 9:30 P.M. the next morning, September 5, 1969.
