SWECO did acknowledge they had erred in the listing of the proposed heater weights and suggested these be corrected as indicated in the attached telegram dated December 10, 1969. * None of the other proposal data indicates any appreciable physical differences that would warrant evaluation debits or credits with respect to installation costs. With respect to the Westinghouse proposal, as pointed out under the • • c. * CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS December 23, 1969 We tabulation, they had not included the 14 days of field technical assistance and instruction as required by the specifications. have therefore debited their bid by the following: 14 days x Westinghouse Daily Per Diem Rate (Bid Item II) 14 days x $170/day = $2,380.00 Escalation Since all bids were quoted firm, this item is not evaluated.

Exceptions to Specifications: Allis-Chalmers: Article F-6-3 Since the A-C text facility is limited with regard to size and speed capabilities, they have quoted testing at reduced speeds with cold water. The extrapolation of test data at one point, i. e. at reduced speeds and cold water, to all other performance points is simply a series of mathematical manipulations with well-established and well-proven empirical formulas. Therefore, since the performance of the pump system is guaranteed at the maximum flow point, we feel that the testing at a lower speed is satisfactory and we recommend that this exception be allowed. Byron Jackson Article F-6-3 BJ has quoted testing at, or greater than, the maximum rated speed, with curves drawn from extrapolated data at the lower speeds. For the reasons explained in the A-C paragraph above, we feel that this is acceptable. DeLaval: Though DeLaval stated numerous clarifications of their bid with respect to the Specifications, no exceptions were taken. Their clarifications were in compliance with the intent of both the legal and engineering portions of the Specifications. C. Options (cont.)

Please refer to Specification Articles F-2-2-h and F-6-2-c, repeated verbatim below for your reference: F-2-2 BOILER FEED PUMP h. Internal Clearances Contractor shall insure that adequate clearances are provided in pump design to accommodate maximum shaft deflections and prevent damage to pump on loss of suction head. Reliability during all conditions of operation is the major consideration and efficiency is of secondary importance. Only pumps within an efficiency range of 78% to 82% at the NCO condition will be acceptable. These efficiencies are based on cold water (70°F to 100°F) only. Within the above stated efficiency range, no evaluation will be made with respect to efficiency credits or debits when selecting the successful Bidder. F-6-2 PERFORMANCE GUARANTEES c. Cold Water Efficiency (%) at design point and speed. Efficiency at NCO condition shall be within a range of 78% to 82%. As stated previously, no evaluation credit shall be given for efficiencies. For a fixed pumping duty (i.e. fixed flowrate and differential head) the horsepower requirement is a direct function of the efficiency. Therefore, since we have stated that no efficiency credits or debits will be evaluated, the Auxiliary Power evaluation is not applicable. (b) Installation Costs A review of the attached proposal data does not indicate any sufficient differences of a physical nature to warrant evaluation credits or debits.

In reviewing the offerings of the other bidders, we found that they have also included these items in their Base Bids. Therefore, we recommend that this option not be exercised, and negotiate the supply of these items with the successful bidder only. DeLaval: (1) Quoted a price addition of $2,280.00 for continuouslylubricated couplings in lieu of the batch-lubricated couplings included in their proposal. Since the Specifications require the continuously-lubricated type, this must be added to their Base Bid for Items 1 and 3. (2) Quoted a price reduction of $4,150.00 for their standard test procedures in lieu of the procedures defined in the Specifications. This substitution is acceptable and this price should be deducted from the Base Bid for Items 1 and 3. (3) Quoted a price reduction of $4,550.00 for their standard Terms of Payment. for the purpose of this evaluation, as the other manufacturers would possibly be able to quote price reductions for variations from the Terms of Payment and Warranty period as specified. It is recommended that this option not be exercised " " EVALUATION OF BIDS CONTRACT 407 BOILER FEED PUMP SYSTEM On the basis of plant reliability and minimum outage time in the event of a breakdown due to pump wear and/or damage, Brown & Root, Inc. recommends that this contract be awarded on the basis of Bid Item No. 3 which includes spare parts.

Should the strike against General Electric continue past February 1st, the contract would be let to General Electric based on the premise the City would be released so it could enter into a contract with another firm to furnish these certain circuit breakers. MR. KINNEY, Director of Electric Utilities, stated there were some 69KV breakers to be purchased for some substations by June 1st, and the specifications called for June 1st deliveries. Should CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS- December 23, 1969 they go beyond the shipping date, 26 weeks, one substation would be in trouble, and this breaker needs to be installed before the summer load increases. He said the General Electric Company had assured moving up this particular breaker. However, the parts are not assembled due to the strike. The City Manager stated that reserving the right to contract with another firm, should G. E. not be able to make delivery on time, is being included in the contract: and with this provision, he would recommend the award be made to General Electric. Mr. Kinney stated new bids would have to be taken for the individual breaker needed earlier.

" The motion, seconded by Councilman MacCorkle, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Noes: Councilmen Atkison, Gage, Janes, Johnson, MacCorkle, Mayor LaRue None Absent: Councilman Price APPROVAL OF PLAN FOR NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM AND FEASIBILITY OF RELOCATION BLACKSHEAR PROJECT The City Council had before it consideration of approving the Plan presented by the Urban Renewal Agency for Neighborhood Development Program and feasibility of relocation; making certain findings with regard to slum clearance and redevelopment; and approving filing of application for financial assistance. Councilman Johnson asked if the request for conversion of the Blackshear Project in to a Neighborhood Development Program were not funded in Washington, would there be an Urban Renewal project in force approved by this Council in the Blackshear area. MR. LEON LURIE, Executive Director, Urban Renewal, assured the Council all would be void. There is a grant reservation presently set aside for the Urban Renewal Project known as Blackshear. The City has the option to convert those funds over to the Neighborhood Development Program. If the Neighborhood Development Program is not approved, the Council _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS December 23, 1969 would not be approving an Urban Renewal Project for that area. The Council's formal procedure for this conversion was taken care of December 18th. COUNCILMAN MacCORKLE inquired about the future of the program, should the Council decide they did not want to go farther with it, and what monetary disadvantages would that bring about. Mr. Lurie answered this was an unusual project financing plan, as the City's credits will be used to offset all of the City's costs, and it will not be committing itself for any cash. However, the City Council can cut off any project at any time. Where the City has in other projects agreed to take care of its 1/3 share in either cash or participation on streets, etc., there would be financial obligations. In this particular case of Blackshear he could not see where there could be any financial responsibility at any time on the City's part. In answer to Councilman Janes' inquiry, Mr. Lurie responded the three projects, University East, Brackenridge, and Blackshear, would be converted in one application. The University East project should be complete in about two years, and credits in this area will be used.

Urban Renewal Plan Objectives. The Blackshear Urban Renewal Project will be undertaken and carried out by the Urban Renewal Agency of the City of Austin, Texas. The principal activity will be clearance and redevelopment in order to remove a blighted and decadent area in a residential core of the city. The objectives of the Urban Renewal Plan are as follows: To acquire and clear those areas blighted with dilapidated and deteriorated structures. The elimination of blighting influences in the project area consisting of incompatible land uses and land use relationships, inadequate street layout, excessive dwelling unit densities, overcrowding of structures on the land, and irregular and substandard subdivision of the land, all of which together have contributed to the general economic decline of the project area. The conservation of certain properties suitable for retention in the project area and consistent with the land use proposals. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS December 23, 1969 • : • The removal of impediments to the land disposition and development, and the achievement of land use changes so as to provide the maximum possibilities of revitalization of a key residential area. The disposition of property subject to certain restrictions necessary to prevent the continuance or spread of blighting conditions. The provision for the redevelopment of the area in accordance with the Urban Renewal Plan approved by the City Council of the City of Austin, to include such necessary facilities as: Improved recreational facilities An expanded area for educational use Expanded areas for institutional or special purpose uses An improved residential area. The provision of these facilities in a manner consistent with the social and economic needs of the residents of the area. The provision of a substantial number of housing units of low or moderate cost on land to be disposed of for residential purposes. 3. Types of Proposed Renewal Actions. The Blackshear Urban Renewal Project is a combination project involving clearance and redevelopment, and also rehabilitation and conservation areas. These areas are shown on Exhibit URP-111, "Land Acquisition Plan," and the actions to be taken in each area are generally described as follows: a. Clearance and Redevelopment: Clearance and redevelopment activities include the acquisition of structures, land and other properties, the clearance of undesired structures and the disposition of land for redevelopment as stipulated in Section C.2. hereof. Clearance and redevelopment activities will be confined to the areas shown on Exhibit URP-111. Spot clearance and redevelopment will occur in the conservation areas which constitute the remaining project area land not shown in clearance sections. b. Rehabilitation and Conservation: Rehabilitation and conservation activities involve the protection of all standard properties in such areas except where such standard property is in conflict with the improvement proposals of the Plan. The owners of properties which are feasible of rehabilitation will be required to make such improvements to their property to bring such property up to a standard compatible with the objectives of the Plan. c. Public Improvements. Each property in the entire Urban Renewal area will be adequately served with the following improvements: (1) Streets. New streets will be constructed and existing streets widened or reconstructed in a logical and orderly manner to achieve the results depicted in the "Land Use Plan" Map, Exhibit URP-11. All streets will be paved with permanent paving with curb and gutter and sidewalks. ........

Applicability of Regulations and Restrictions to Real Property Not To Be Acquired. All properties within the Blackshear Urban Renewal Project Boundaries are subject to acquisition and purchase by the Urban Renewal Agency of the City of Austin in order to assure the accomplishment of the objectives of this Plan. Provisions are made, however, for the present owners to retain ownership of land if said land can be used in accordance with the Urban Renewal Plan and the owner agrees in writing to so use his land. • December 23, 1969 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS All of the General and Special Regulations and Restrictions, as well as the land use restrictions, are binding on all lands within the Profect Boundaries regardless of whether such lands are acquired by the Urban Renewal Agency. D. PROJECT PROPOSALS : • : : : 1. Land Acquisition. a. Identification of Real Property to ba Acquired: (1) All real property in the Project Area proposed to be acquired for clearance and redevelopment is shown on "Land Acquisition Plan," Exhibit URP-III. This exhibit shows those areas indicated for total clearance and redevelopment, as well as those properties in the conservation area to be acquired for spot clearance of structures substandard to a degree warranting clearance. In addition, street rights-of-way will be acquired as necessary to carry out the Urban Renewal Plan proposals. (2) All public facilities to be provided within the Project Area are shown on Exhibit URP-II, "Land Use Plan." (3) In the Conservation section, as shown on Exhibit URP-III, "Land Acquisition Plan," those properties scheduled for acquisition include only those properties needed for rights of way and for resubdividing purposes necessary for obtaining the objectives of the Plan, and those properties neces- sary for acquisition to provide for spot clearance of structures structurally substandard to a degree warranting clearance. Under the provisions of this section, the Agency may acquire a lesser interest in property than the fee simple, which lesser interest may include acquisition of one or more structures but excluding the land or some interest therein where the acquisition of such lesser interest will serve the objectives of this Plan and where its requirements for redevelopment are otherwise met. b. Special Conditions Under Which Properties Not Designated For Acquisition May Be Acquired. Properties not designated for acquisition may be acquired by the Urban Renewal Agency if the respective owners thereof do not voluntarily comply with the requirements and controls contained in this Plan. c. Special Conditions Under Which Properties Designated For Acquisition May Be Excluded From Acquisition. Properties designated for acquisition may be excluded from acquisition where it is determined by the Urban Renewal Agency that the purposes of the Plan may be achieved without such acquisition. 2. Rehabilitation and Conservation. Properties are currently included for retention in the Urban Renewal Area wherein rehabilitation of existing structures will be required; consequently, property rehabiDecember 23, 1969 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS • : • : : E. litation standards have been included inthe Plan. The owners of such properties which are feasible of rehabilitation will be required to make such improvements to their property to bring such property up to a standard compatible with the objectives of the Plan. 3. Proposals to Provide Low and Moderate Cost Housing. It is the intent of the Urban Renewal Agency to develop proposals to provide a substantial number of housing units of low and moderate cost on land to be disposed of for residential purposes. Thus the LPA will employ those sections of the Housing Act of 1949 as amended through 1969 which provide programs for the construction of low and moderate income housing to the fullest extent feasible. These are sections 221 (d) (3), 221 (h), 235, 236, and any additional programs hereafter. 4. Redeveloper's Obligations. Each redeveloper of land in the project area will be obligated by means of appropriate covenants running with the land to devote the land to uses specified in the Urban Renewal Agency of the City of Austin. Since it is the purpose of the regulations and controls specified in this Plan to assure the renewal of the area in conformity with the objectives of the Urban Renewal Plan, it will be, therefore, the obligation of all the developers not only to comply with these controls but also to familiarize themselves with the overall Urban Renewal Plan and to prepare development proposals which are in harmony with the objectives of the Plan. All such proposals will be subject to review and approval by the Urban Renewal Agency of the City of Austin prior to land disposition and prior to commencement of construction. Thus, the LPA will reserve the right in land disposition to insure that an appropriate portion of the housing redeveloped on residential land will be made available at a sales price or rental that low and moderate income persons and families can afford. The redeveloper will not be permitted to dispose of property until the improvements are completed without prior written consent of the Urban Renewal Agency of the City of Austin, which consent will not be granted except under conditions that will prevent speculation and protect the interest of the City of Austin and the Urban Renewal Agency. No land shall be disposed of to a redeveloper who would prohibit the sale, lease or occupancy of land purchased in the project because of race, color, creed, or national origin. Anyone redeveloping property in the project area shall keep all buildings, improvements, equipment, machinery and walkways constructed erected, installed or located in the project area in good and safe condition, structurally and otherwise. 5. Underground Utility Lines. With the exception of the electric distribution facilities, street lighting system and telephone system, all utility distribution lines, whether public or private, shall be placed underground. STATE AND LOCAL REQUIREMENTS: The elements of the Urban Renewal Plan satisfy all pertinent requirements of state and local laws. : : • F. December 23, 1969 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS PROCEDURE FOR CHANGES IN APPROVED PLAN: The Urban Renewal Plan may be modified or amended at any time; provided, however, that if any proposed modification should affect the street layout, land use, public utilities, zoning, open space, or density, then such modification shall not be made until it has been submitted to the Planning Commission of the City of Austin, and a report rendered thereon to the City Council within thirty (30) days after receipt of such modifications by the Commission. Upon receipt of such recommendations from the Planning Commission, or if no recommendations are received within said thirty (30) days, then without recommendation, the City Council shall conduct a public hearing thereon after giving notice as required by law, following which hearing the Council may approve or reject such proposed amendment, and provided further, however, that if such modification occurs after the sale or lease by the Urban Renewal Agency of real property within the project area, such modification shall be subject to such rights at law or in equity as a lessee or purchaser or his successors in interest may be entitled to assert. PROPERTY REHABILITATION STANDARDS for BLACKSHEAR URBAN RENEWAL PROJECT TEX R-95 One through Eleven Living Units URBAN RENEWAL AGENCY OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS APPENDIX I " INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT PURPOSE AND INTENT These Minimum Property Standards for Urban Renewal Rehabilitation have been developed to provide on a national basis the minimum design and construction stan- dards of the FHA, for the rehabilitation of houses located in urban renewal areas containing from one through eleven living units. It is intended that these standards be in the spirit of as well as aid in carrying out the objectives of urban renewal programs for neglected and run-down residential properties. By these objectives is sought the physical, social and economical regeneration of neighbor hoods which have, in general, deteriorated seriously. =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS- December 23, 1969 : : In the strictest sense, these MPS are not a standard in and of themselves, but rather a guide for deriving and establishing a set of rehabilitation standards for a specific urban renewal area. They are directed toward the determining of the appropriate level of rehabilitation to be required for all individual properties in an area; which, on the one hand, will be sufficiently high (when combined with public improvements and other actions to be taken) to give promise of restoring the economic and social health of the area and, on the other hand, sufficiently low to keep the costs of improvements within the reach of the present residents. This is a difficult problem. To find the proper standards for each individual urban rehabilitation area will take careful study and the exercise of considerable imagination and flexibility. The objective is not the creation of neighborhoods that necessarily compare well in design and construction with new neighborhoods. Likewise, these MPS recognize the vast differences that exist among urban renewal areas. The quality and condition of existing houses vary widely from one location to another and frequently within a single area. CHARACTERISTICS OF THESE STANDARDS These Minimum Property Standards are significantly different from standards for new construction. This is necessary because most buildings in urban renewal areas were built long before FHA came into existence and by very different construction requirements and living customs. Many of these houses were built for a sinble family but have now been subdivided to accomodate two or more families. Thus, while satisfactory for one family by former patterns of living, these houses have now become sub-standard because of overcrowding and lack of sanitary and other conditions as well as lack of maintenance. The many advances in building technology of the past generation which are now incorporated in new construction, being unknown at an earlier period, have never been included in older houses. Examples of this, among many, are the use of insulation, modern heating and cooling methods and easily installed new interior and exterior finishing materials. Therefore, these standards, in general, are lower than those that apply to new construction. They have a built-inflexibility that permits judgment to be used by the local FHA insuring office in applying these provisions to each urban renewal area. However, there is a level of physical, social and economic conditions below which standards for rehabilitation should not be countenanced. The standards established for an area should result in a general upgrading and improvement of dwelling accommodations. The aim is to restore the area to a sound condition as to its economic life and its suitability for residential and other uses. Any limitation of FHA standards to local code requirements is not intended, and should not be considered. Due to the novelty and difficulty of establishing realistic and practical rehabilitation standards in urban renewal areas, and because of the flexibility re- quired, the new FHA MPS take a two-sided approach. The first side of the approach is the establishment of a minimum level below which it is not appropriate for FHA to provide assistance in any area. This minimum permissible level of physical improvement to properties in rehabilitation areas relates to such commonly accepted housing essentials as protection to health and safety, appropriate plumbing facilities, reasonable privacy and the general soundness and weather resistance of the structure. These are matters which are generally dealt with by local housing codes, and the minimum level set forth in the FHA MPS for Urban Renewal Rehabilitation approximates those established by December 23, 1969 =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS : the generally recognized model housing codes. Items reflecting this minimum or mandatory level are expressed in the MPS in such terms as "shall be", "provide", etc. (While the general minimum is intended to be mandatory in all areas, it is recognized that varying local conditions may require some adaptation or interpretation even here. Therefore, the MPS set forth certain conditions under which the mandatory items may be modified. Any modification of the mandatory items which is general in nature and applies to all or a number of structures in the area, must be submitted to FHA headquarters for approval. Modifications which are not general or repetitive, but apply only to individual structures may be made locally by FHA as the applications for loan insurance for the particular structures are processed.) The second side of the approach taken to standard setting in the FHA MPS for Urban Renewal Rehabilitation relates to the identification of a number of physical improvements which are recommended but for which no mandatory level is established. These items are expressed in such terms as "in general," "should be," "if possible," "it is recommended that," etc. For these items the decision on the level to be achieved should, for each individual area, be based on the physical conditions which are found, the requirements of the market, and degree of improvement the incomes of the occupants will, in general, support. When a decision has been reached on the flexible items as to the level which is both necessary and supportalbe for a given urban renewal area, the conditionality should be removed and the level determined upon should become a "shall" in the standards adopted for a particular area. Some decision should be made locally on all the flexible items. The degree of flexibility which can reasonably be employed will vary depending on the nature of the item being considered. For example, ceiling height is a flexible item. This is designed to make it possible to deal with varying local conditions. Yet it is obvious that some ceiling height should be specified in the standards for the area and that the heights established should be sufficient to assure reasonable livability. To establish a five foot ceiling height as the standard for a particular area would clearly be an abuse of the flexibility provided in the MPS for this item. On the other hand, other recommended items deal with matters less essential than ceiling heights. On such matters as lot coverage, for example, more flexibility can reasonably be exercised--if physical conditions require and market conditions permit--without jeopardizing the essential objectives or providing decent, safe and sanitary living accommodations. Other flexible items are of a nature that they might be omitted entirely, if conditions justify. For example, there is a provision that all public entrance space should have natural light provided by an opening equal to 10 percent of the floor area. If conditions require, and sufficient artificial light is provided, it might be quite reasonable to drop this requirement entirely. Thus, the process of determining a rehabilitation standard for a particular urban renewal area consists of (1) the application and adaption of all the minimum or mandatory items to that area, and (2) the determination of the specific level for the flexible items which should become requirements for the particular area, based on careful consideration of the income of the occupants and market and the physical conditions found. Using the FHA MPS as the guide, it will be possible, therefore, in differing local conditions, to develop standards for different areas which differ greatly one from the other. HOW THESE STANDARDS ARE TO BE USED These MPS are intended to be used locally in the following ways: • : • : CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS December 23, 1969 1. As criteria and technical information in the preliminary planning and development work of establishing an urban renewal area. They are a vital element in determining the feasibility and possible success of the entire undertaking. 2. As a yardstick, to measure the level of standards appropriate in different neighborhoods. The local FHA insuring office should determine, wherever possible, those items for a particular area that logically can be required to be higher than these minimum standards, and how much higher. In doing so, local offices should give careful consideration to the following factors: a) The income and rent paying abilities of the residents; b) The tastes, habits, and living standards of the residents of the neighborhood and surrounding areas; c) The marketability of properties and the conditions necessary to induce normal financing into the area; and d) The likelihood of permanence of the physical and social improvements. 3. As the basis used by the FHA, in close collaboration with URA and the local public agency, from which specific FHA "Rehabilitation Requirements" and URA "Property Rehabilitation Standards" for each individual urban renewal area are written and agreed upon. In the development of these local documents, the FHA field offices and the LPA's are expected to use these MPS for urban renewal rehabilitation with thoughtful consideration of the serious purpose to which they are directed the economic and social improvement of run-down but salvable residential areas. Also, constructive use is expected to be made of the flexibility and discretion contained in these minimum property standards. For the particular urban renewal area, the resultant specific local standards will then constitute the working agreement between the FHA, URA, and the LPA, and supplement local codes and regulations. Once established these standards should be applicable to all typical houses in the area without further negotiation and interpretation. APPLICATION These Minimum Rehabilitation Standards apply only to existing residential properties containing one through eleven living units in Blackshear Tex. R-95. These rehabilitation standards are confined in their application to the individual property within its property lines. They are not concerned with improvements off the site except for the provision of streets for access and circulation, and for essential services and facilities.

R201 LOCAL CODES AND REGULATIONS R201-1 These standards, while setting forth basic objectives and provisions specifically related to rehabilitation, shall not be construed as relieving the property owner or his builder of his responsibility for compliance with local ordinances, codes and regulations including established requirements of a health or other authority having jurisdiction. R201-2 Where the local code, regulation or requirement permits lower standards than required herein, these Property Rehabilitation Standards shall apply. R202 SERVICE AND FACILITIES R202-1 Utilities shall be independent for each property without dependence upon other properties. R202-2 Independent facilities shall be provided for each living unit except that common facilities such as laundry and storage space or heating may be provided for each property.

" RESOLUTION MAKING FINDINGS REGARDING SLUM CLEARANCE AND REDEVELOPMENT BLACKSHEAR AREA COUNCILMAN MacCorkle inquired who determined whether or not the structures were rehabitable. Mr. Lurie reported that during the planning of the project, inspections were made of the structures, inside and out, by professional engineers, and professional architects, the decisions being made on the amount of money to repair the structures, keeping in mind there is an economic line to be drawn. If a structure can be rehabilitated, it could be left in the area, and money would be provided for that purpose, or if the owner could fix it up, he would do so with his own funds. Not every structure will be demolished: some will be rehabilitated. Councilman Gage offered the following resolution and moved its adoption: (RESOLUTION) WHEREAS, the City of Austin has adopted an Urban Renewal Plan concerning an area known as the "Blackshear Project"; and, WHEREAS, there is included in such Plan, as adopted by this Governing Body, an area designated for clearance and redevelopment; and, WHEREAS, within such clearance and redevelopment area, rehabilitation without clearance would be impractical, infeasible and ineffective in that at least 50% of the structures in this area are dilapidated beyond the point of feasible rehabilitation, and there are parcels in such area that do not have access to open streets, there is an overcrowding of structures on the land, the streets are congested, unsafe and insufficient to carry the traffic, and there is a mixed use of structures and a serious lack of recreational facilities in such area; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN: 1.

Andrews, City Manager RECOMMENDED NEW CLINIC SCALE The attached comparison of the existing clinic scale and the proposed changes for approval are submitted. At the Advisory Board of Trustees meeting held September 26, 1969, the revised scale was approved and recommended to the City Council for their approval: "On motion of Mr. Simpson, seconded by Mr. Allman, the Board voted to recommend adoption of the proposed Clinic Scale and base any future changes on the Consumer Price Index."

The Hospital Administrator, Mr. Ben Tobias, reviewed the various rates in detail, explaining particularly the significance of the "C" card, as it applied to an emergency case requiring "follow-up" treatment in the Out Patient Department whereby the patient could return to the Hospital, for the follow-up treatment, but would pay the full charges. He said based on the JOHN STEINLE (Hospital consultant in 1961) recommendation, the Hospital Administration had tried to review this scale annually, and had tried to bring the base up to the OEO Poverty scale. Councilman MacCorkle discussed the procedures at the Hospital on establishing eligibility for these various cards. adoption: Councilman MacCorkle offered the following resolution and moved its (RESOLUTION) BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN: That the new clinic scale recommended by the Advisory Board of Trustees for Brackenridge Hospital be adopted by the City Council as the scale for certification of eligibility of those wishing to have clinic cards, in accordance with the terms and provisions of that recommendation exhibited to the December 23, 1969 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS City Council and attached hereto as Exhibit "A"; and, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN: That the City Clerk is hereby directed to file a copy of the new clinic scale in the permanent records of her office. 11 The motion, seconded by Councilman Gage, carried by the following vote: Councilmen Atkison, Gage, Janes, Johnson, MacCorkle, Mayor Ayes: LaRue • Noes: None Absent: Councilman Price adoption: SALE OF IMPROVEMENTS Councilman Janes' offered the following resolution and moved its (RESOLUTION) WHEREAS, bids were received by the City of Austin on December 16, 1969 for the sale of City-owned capital assets; and, WHEREAS, the bids of Bradford and Ross Construction in the sum of $105.00 for the house located at 511 Arlington Street, in the sum of $507.00 for the house located at 1900 West 7th Street, and in the sum of $200.00 for the house located at 2807-A Oakmont Boulevard; the bid of Sara E.

"Joining the Capital Area Council of Governments will pro- vide the City with cooperative information, planning and other assistance centered around local government," said the Mayor of LaGrange. Ten central Texas counties and incorporated cities therein form the Capital Area Council of Governments make-up. This is an indication that some of the outlying areas could be obtained. The area must be contiguous. Lying between the LaGrange area and the City of Austin is Bastrop County. He stated he had assistance in getting the Bastrop Commissioners' Court to take some affirmative action. If the Travis County Commissioners' Court accepted the theory and the idea, the organization could be formed more quickly. He asked if the Council members would take an opportunity and visit with the Commissioners' Court and the County Judge and pursue this, the Council of Governments would be a reality more quickly. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS December 23, 1969 AMENDMENT TO SECTION 21-6 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWFUL ORDERS OF POLICE OFFICERS MAYOR LARUE referred to a Law Department Memo dated December 4, with reference to the Council's request for clarification of what turned out to be Sec- tion 21-6 Lawful Orders of Police Officers. The Mayor read the last paragraph on page 3, "The Austin Ordinance is limited to the orders given by officers in connection with traffic or pedestrians on the public streets which seems to narrow the ordinance much more than might be desired." This ordinance could be broadened to read as follows: "No person shall willfully fail or refuse to comply with any lawful order or direction of a Police Officer or obstruct, prevent, or interfere in any manner with the Chief of Police or any Police Officer in the lawful discharge of his duty." The Mayor stated, with the Council's permission, he would like to ask the City Manager to bring in a recommended amendment to Section 21-6. The City Manager stated the Attorney would draw such an amendment. : LIBRARY GIFT The City Manager, Mr. Andrews, announced a gift had been given to the Austin Public Library -- a collection of photographic prints. There were two reasons for bringing this matter to the Council: (1) Authorization of the Council to accept the gift. (2) To determine how the Council would like to handle gifts of this nature in the future, and how they should be recognized. MR. EARL HOLT, Librarian, stated they had been trying to get a collection of photographs for over two years. There are over 13,000 in this group. MR. RUSSELL CHALBERG, owner of Ellison Photo Studios, has generously donated these to the Library. There are some quite valuable to the Library, and they had placed a value of $6.00 on each of 1750 of those. A value of $2.00 each on about 4600, and a value of $.50 each on about 7,000 had been determined. There are about 100 circuit negatives on which they placed a value of $8.00 a piece. The total value of the gift to the Library, was placed at $24,000. Mr. Chalberg was agreeable to the established value and had presented the gift last November. The City Manager recommended acceptance of this gift. He suggested the Council might consider how these gifts might be accepted and acknowledged. Councilman Gage moved that the Council accept this gift from MR. CHALBERG, and express sincere and deep appreciation to him for the collection, as it is a superb collection. The motion, seconded by Councilman Johnson, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Noes: Councilmen Atkison, Gage, Janes, Johnson, MacCorkle, Mayor LaRue None Absent: Councilman Price CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS December 23, 1969 COUNCILMAN JANES noted that the City was not establishing a value on this collection, by this action, but was accepting the gift. Mr. Holt said much research was done on placing a value on such a gift, and discussions were held with those in the University and State Libraries. He was told the best person to place such a value was the recipient. Councilman MacCorkle stated there were several collections in the City that might go to the Austin Library, that people on the Staff are well aware of. He hoped others would become interested, as these collections are something that add to the Library. MO-PAC BOULEVARD RIGHT-OF-WAY Councilman Johnson moved that the Council approve the following land acquisition for Mo-Pac Boulevard right-of-way: 1308 Newfield Lane The motion, seconded by Councilman Gage, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Atkison, Gage, Janes, Johnson, MacCorkle, Mayor LaRue Noes: None Absent: Councilman Price : Councilman MacCorkle moved that the Council approve the following land acquisition for Mo-Pac Boulevard right-of-way: 1404 Newfield Lane The motion, seconded by Councilman Janes, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Atkison, Gage, Janes, Johnson, MacCorkle, Mayor LaRue Noes: None Absent: Councilman Price MAYOR LARUE, on behalf of the Council, and personally, expressed appreciation for the favors of the Staff in the past, and wished the staff a MERRY and HAPPY CHRISTMAS.
