Bid Evaluation Calculations Article B-27 Item a: Bonded Indebtedness was not used since evaluation was made on a Present Worth Basis. Item b: The 10 Year break-even period was used at 4% interest compounded annually on a uniform annual series to obtain the Present Worth value of Auxiliary Power Losses. This Present Worth Factor from Interest Tables is 8.111. Item c: The Total Annual Energy Cost Losses of each transformer was computed at the loads and hours of operation per year at that load stated. Example: (From page 1 of the evaluation Proposal Data) The transformer losses for F.P.E. Bidding Unit No. I Main Transformer (MT4) was 1000 KW at 100% load. The hours of operation at this load from Article B27 was 3200 and the auxiliary power cost would be to calculated at $0.010/KWH. Therefore, 1000 KW x 3200 HR x $0.010/KWH = $32,000.00 This type of calculation was used for each of the loads at hours and cost of auxiliary power stated. The operation was then repeated for the other bidders. These losses were then totaled to obtain the Total Annual Energy Cost Losses and then multiplied by the Present Worth Factor of 8.111 to obtain the Present Worth Energy 10 Years - 4%. Example: (From page 2 of the evaluation - Evaluation Bidding' 9 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 8, 1970 L : Unit I) The Total Annual Energy Cost Losses for F.P.E. was $38,883.95. Therefore, the Present Worth Energy 10 Years equal to $38,883.95 x 8.111 - $315,387.72. - 4% is Item d: Cost of auxiliary power, as stated, is evaluated at $0.010 per KWH for 100% operation and at $0.00275 per KWH for all loads below 100% operation to obtain Total Annual Energy Cost Losses as indicated under Item c. Item e: Cost of installed generating capability, as stated, is evaluated at $90.00 per KW of transformer losses at 100% load. Example: (From page 1 of the evaluation - Proposal Data) As in the previous example under Item c, the transformer losses for F.P.E.'s Main Transformer at 100% was 1000 KW. Therefore, the debit (shown on page 2) against F.P.E. for Derating Net Generating 100% Load Loss is calculated as follows: 1000 KW x $90.00/KW = $90,000.00 1 Councilman Price offered the following resolution and moved its adoption: (RESOLUTION) WHEREAS, bids were received by the City of Austin on December 19, 1969, for the purchase of Power Transformers for Holly Street Power Station, Unit No. 4; and, WHEREAS, the bid of McGraw-Edison Power Systems Division, in the sum of $315,000.00, was the lowest and best bid therefor and the acceptance of such bid has been recommended by the Director of Electric Utility of the City of Austin and by the City Manager; Now, Therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN: That the bid of McGraw-Edison Power Systems Division, in the sum of $315,000.00, be and the same is hereby accepted, and that Lynn H.

HICKS asked the Council to be careful about protecting Barton Creek and green belt areas. Discussion was held on the proposed 300' thoroughfare through Zilker Park, and it was brought out the thoroughfare had been in the plan for eight or nine years, with right of way having been dedicated in some cases. It could be dropped or shifted. The intent of that highway was to alleviate the traffic on Bee Caves Road through the center of the Park. The traffic is building up to the extent the park is being divided in two. MRS. JOHNSTON, Barton Hills area, brought out no one appreciated the shopping center that had been permitted, and there is no major artery going up through the shopping center. She called attention to the fact that there was no stop light on Robert E. Lee Road and Barton Springs Road. MR. OSCAR HOLMES, representing the applicant, stated this area was the remainder of the level area before it drops into a deep bluff. They were in the process of building a 44' wide street on Barton Heights Drive and a 40' street on Jasmine Lane. At this point, Councilman MacCorkle called attention to a lot of building activities in the headwaters of Barton Creek, and announced the Council was interested in maintaining Barton Creek.

From "A" Residence and "B" Residence To "BB" Residence RECOMMENDED by the Plan- ning Commission subject to a short form subdivision and development of the subject property and the commercial property on the corner of Manor Road and Walnut Hills Drive as one site. The Assistant Planning Director suggested the Council might want to consider a recommendation that if this tract is used jointly with the "IR" tract, access should be on Walnut Hills or on Manor Road. Access should not be to Cherrylawn but to the 60' street if developed separately. The Director of Planning explained the intent was not to specifically require the short form subdivision, but was to work out the access situation. Mr. Selman, representing the aplicant was agreeable to this suggestion. After discussion, the Council granted the zoning.

NEWGENT By Charles Trenckmann 41 1/4-49 3/4 Waller St. 1201-1207 Haskell St. From "A" Residence To "IR" Local Retail NOT Recommended by the Planning Commission RECOMMENDED "B" Residence by the Planning Commission subject to r-o-w for future widening of Waller Street and Haskell Street. The Assistant Director of Planning filed a letter from the representative of the Applicant, MR. CHARLES TRENCKMANN, amending the application to remove Lots 1 and 2 from the area to which re-zoning is asked, and to apply for "B" rather than "C". Mayor LaRue stated the effect is that the application as amended covers "B" for Lots 3, 4, 5, and 6, Resubdi- vision of Lot 1, Blk. 1, Magnolia Add tion. These are the lots fronting on Waller Street and Haskell. The problem was that Haskell would need widening or a building setback established, ) C C CCC January 8, 1970 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS and the applicant preferred to remove those two lots. Mr. Trenckmann stated the two lots frinting on Haskell were removed from the application. He was not aware of widening on Waller Street, as the property recently was subdivided; and at that time, in connection with the short form resubdivision, the applicant gave the 5' for the widening of Waller. After checking the plat, the Assistant Director of Planning agreed there would be no right of way for Waller. Councilman Price moved that the change be granted as recommended by the Planning Commission to "B" as amended. The motion, seconded by Councilman MacCorkle, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Atkison, Gage, Janes, Johnson, MacCorkle, Price, Mayor LaRue Noes: None The Mayor announced that the change to "B" Residence, as amended, had been granted, and the City Attorney was instructed to draw the necessary ordinance to cover. CHESTER D. BROOKS By Robert C. Sneed 621-623 West 31st St. From "BB" Residence To "B" Residence RECOMMENDED by the Planning Commission as amended, sub- ject to 7' of r-o-w for W. 31st Street. The Assistant Director of Planning, Mr. Lillie, explained this case was considered along with two others in the same area. Information had been provided the Council on the area study in 1961. The Planning Department's Assistant Director reviewed the study and development between 29th and 34th Streets; Guadalupe and Lamar "BB" had been established in 1961. The question revolves around the density permitted under "B" as opposed to "BB". The properties on 32nd and on King Streets were tied into the zoning of this location. MR. SNEED, representing the applicant pointed out the application was recommended unanimously by the Planning Commission, and the other two applications mentioned were denied by the Planning Commission. He asked that this application be considered individually. He claimed this area was now a part of the University complex. According to the transportation plan of the City, anticipated from 1962 to 1980, there is no proposed change of the transportation system within these boundaries whatsoever. He described the traffic circulation and the thoroughfares and arteries over which it would move. He pointed out the various zoning uses in the area ranging from C CCC C 2/ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 8, 1970 "BB" to "C-2". As to right of way, he had filed a written agreement to provide the 5' right of way. This is the only property facing on 31st Street; all of the others face on 31 1/2 Street. Mr. Sneed reviewed the street pattern and street widths. At this location there is a 26' street, whereas the normal requirement for paving for "B" is 40' paving. This leaves 14'. They proposed to tender seven feet rather than the 5' requested; and in addition to give a 5' sidewalk and utility easement across the front of the property. As to density, Mr. Sneed stated after studying the projection of the City of Austin to 1980, the most densely populated area is immediately to the south of this area in 1980, and the second most dense population includes this particular property. The development since 1961 has been very little and the area has remained stagnant. He asked that the unanimous recommendation of the Planning Commission be upheld. Councilman Janes moved that the change to "B" Residence, as amended, with 7' of r-o-w for West 31st Street, be granted as recommended by the Planning Commission. The motion, seconded by Councilman Price, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Atkison, Gage, Janes, Johnson, MacCorkle, Price, Mayor LaRue Noes: None The Mayor announced that the change to "B", as recommended by the Planning Commission, had been granted, and the City Attorney was instructed to draw the necessary ordinance to cover. - WALTER YATES 2204 Anderson Lane From "A" Residence To "C" Commercial NOT Recommended by the Planning Commission RECOMMENDED by the Planning Commission as "GR" General Retail, subject to 15' of r-o-w for Anderson Lane. Councilman Gage disqualified himself from participating in this zoning hearing, as he owned adjoining property. No one was present to represent the applicant. It was brought out whenever the applicant submitted his letter on the right of way, the ordinance would be submitted. Councilman Janes moved that the change to "GR" General Retail, as recommended by the Planning Commission, be granted. The motion, seconded by Councilman Price, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Atkison, Janes, Johnson, MacCorkle, Price, Mayor LaRue Noes: None Present, but not voting: Councilman Gage January 8, 1970 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS The Mayor announced that the change to "GR" General Retail, as recommended by the Planning Commission, had been granted, and the City Attorney was instructed to draw the necessary ordinance to cover.

THE SIGNAL COMPANIES INC. By Tom Curtis - Tract 1 8153-8213 Research Boulevard Tract 2 Rear of 8153-8213 Research Boulevard From Interim "A" Residence 1st Height and Area To "C" Commercial 1st Height and Area RECOMMENDED by the Planning Commission From Interim "A" Residence To 1st Height and Area "B" Residence 1st Height and Area NOT Recommended by the Planning Commission RECOMMENDED "BB" Residence 1st Height and Area subject to 25' building setback and privacy fence at all points where the subject property abuts "A" Residence, and the extension and fiscal arrangements, through sub- division of Jamestown Drive and a north-south street to connect Jamestown Drive to Research Boulevard. 23 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 8, 1970 : : CCC C C C MR. TOM CURTIS, representing the applicant, reported the recommendation of the Planning Commission was not acceptable. The Assistant Planning Director, Mr. Dick Lillie, reported it was hoped that the City could make a connection from this tract through the small triangle lot to Research Boulevard. In the event it cannot by the time the applicant starts development, the City would request the applicant to provide a north-south connection with Research Boulevard. Otherwise traffic generated from this tract would have to go east onto Jamestown Drive through the subdivision. Mr. Curtis was in agreement with this condition. The only issue he had was with the second tract behind the tract adjacent to Research Boulevard. In addition, Mr. Curtis offered to create a 25' building setback with a fence adjacent to "A" Residence property. That would afford "B" zoning close to Research Boulevard and adjacent "C" Commercial. If this were granted, they could make a more attractive area. Mr. Lillie stated in either arrangement discussed the buffer would be 25' with a fence; and the only difference would be 130 units as opposed to 260. Lengthy discussion was held by the Council, and a satisfactory amendment was worked out. Councilman Janes moved that the Council grant: "C" Commercial, First Height and Area on Tract 1; "BB" Residence, First Height and Area on the north 280 feet and east 100 feet of Tract 2 and "B" Residence, First Height and Area, on the remainder of Tract 2; subject to: (1) Extension and development by subdivision of Jamestown Drive and a north-south street with a minimum of 60 feet of right of way through Tract 1 in the event Jamestown Drive cannot be extended westerly to intersect with U. S. 183 (Research Boulevard), and (2) 25 foot building setback line from, and a 6 foot solid fence on all property lines which abut "A" Residence zoning. The motion, seconded by Councilman Johnson, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Atkison, Gage, Janes, Johnson, Price, Mayor LaRue Noes: None Absent: Councilman MacCorkle, at this particular time. The Mayor announced that the change had been granted as amended, and the City Attorney was instructed to draw the necessary ordinance to cover. HENRY G. SANDERS 1200-1206 Springdale Rd. 4122-4128 East 12th St. From "A" Residence, "C" Commercial, and "LR" Local Retail To "GR" General Retail RECOMMENDED by the Planning Commission, subject to 10' of r-o-w for E. 12th Street. : CCC C C 21 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 8, 1970 MAYOR LARUE noted and read a petition by property owners and parents of children attending Sims Elementary School asking that this petition opposing a zoning change in the 1200-1206 block of Springdale Road and 4122-4128 East 12th be accepted, as those petitioners felt that the drive-in grocery store was sufficient for selling beer and wine to go and they did not want a bar directly in front of the elementary school. Mayor LaRue announced this petition would become a part of the records of the Minutes. The Director of Planning stated they had not yet received a letter dedicating right of way for East 12th Street. MR. IKE EDWARDS, representing the applicant stated this was not a bar, but would be a dining room, with beer being sold with food. He was acceptable to the requirement of 10' of right of way for East 12th Street. Strong opposition was expressed by MR. RAY D. GALLOWAY, representing a large group present, stating it was not desireable to have this type of business across from the Elementary School, and it would create a bad environment for the 12 and 13 year old youths. He asked the Council, before it decided, to check the Police record of a nearby operation to which this one would be similar. Extensive opposition was expressed by MRS. CLOTHILDE WALKER, President of Sims PTA; MRS. EXALTEN DELCO, past President of Sims PTA; MR. JOHN BELL, Principal of Sims Elementary School, stating they had lost expensive electronic equipment through burglary and vandalism; and this had been traced to the establishment just mentioned. Mr. Galloway submitted a petition with 113 names, likewise to be made a part of the record. MR. LONNIE MILTON, Manager of the Commodore Perry Deck Club opposed the proximity of this place to the school. The City Attorney reviewed the method of measuring from a school to an establishment selling alcoholic beverages to keep within the state requirements. MRS. WALKER joined others in opposing this zoning based on its location, across from the school. Councilman Price moved that the Council deny the change to "GR" General Retail. The motion, seconded by Councilman Atkison, carried by the following vote: denied. Ayes: Councilmen Atkison, Gage, Janes, Johnson, MacCorkle, Price, Mayor LaRue Noes: None The Mayor announced that the change to "GR" General Retail, had been つ C A. E. RHODES, JR. By A. E. Rhodes, Sr. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 3206-3208 King Street January 8, 1970 From "BB" Residence To "B" Residence NOT Recommended by the Planning Commission MAYOR LARUE acknowledged receipt of a letter from Mr. Rhodes to all Council members. Neither Mr. Rhodes nor his representative were present. The Assistant Director of Planning said this application was considered along with the Carey Legett case on West 32nd Street, King Street, and King Lane. He stated to encourage additional zoning to a higher density in this area would over load the streets. The area is composed of single family and duplexes, the only apartments being those that were converted from older homes. "BB" Residence was established by the Council in 1961. The "0" Office and "C" Commercial were oriented to the major arterial and collector streets 34th and Guadalupe. Councilman Janes suggested that since there were only six members present, in fairness to the applicant, the Council should not take action today. This case was held in abeyance until contact could be made with Mr. Rhodes. - CAREY LEGETT, JR. & GEORGIA F. LEGETT By Charles G. Trenckmann 703-705 West 32nd St. 3110 King Street 3111 King Lane From "BB" Residence To 1st Height and Area "0" Office 2nd Height and Area NOT Recommended by the Planning Commission MR. CHARLES TRENCKMANN represented the applicant, stating the application had been amended so as to eliminate the lot facing on King Street, leaving only the 75' x 150' lot fronting on 32nd Street, also to delete the request for 2nd Height and Area. The applicants are two medical doctors whose present offices are in the capital expansion area, and they will be displaced in the very near future. They intend to build in this location a combination private residence and doctor's office. The Planning Department recommended the change. He pointed out there was no traffic in this area, as it is well served by 60' streets on the periphery. It had been admitted earlier that "BB" is perhaps too restrictive for this area, and the "BB" had not been maintained, as there was "B" zoning for doctors' offices. Mr. Trenckmann pointed out the technicality in this case was there could not be more than one employee. Drs. Legett have two employees. Opposition was expressed by MRS. LAURA MCALIFF, 705 W. 32nd Street, stating traffic was evident in this area due to the Buckingham Square Apartments. MRS. N. R. BATEMAN, 911 W. 26th Street, was interested in purchasing Mrs. Laura McAliff's property, and was told in the present zoning she could build a 35' structure. MR. LEON DON objected due to the increased traffic that would be created. C C CC C C 2 January 8, 1970 - CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS The Director of Planning pointed out the mixed uses in the area and described the area. He suggested that since the other case had been postponed for a week, the Legett application likewise be deferred and give the Planning Department an opportunity to review this case with the intent of amending the Ordinance Text with regard to the employment of outside individuals if this is a stumbling block under the "B" zoning. Mayor LaRue noted there was right of way to be considered in this zoning. Mr. Trenckmann stated if the zoning were granted, the applicant would be willing to dedicate the 5' of right of way. The Council deferred action on this zoning case until the following week. MAUFRAIS BROS. By Richard C. Baker Tract 1 1400-1416 Stassney In. 5516-5530 Vinson Road Tract 2 5506-5514 Vinson Road Tract 3 1500-1616 Stassney Ln. From Interim "A" Residence To Ist Height and Area "GR" General Retail 1st Height and Area NOT Recommended by the Planning Commission RECOMMENDED "LR" Local Retail by the Planning Commission, subject to 30' of r-o-w for Stassney Ln. and 15' of r-o-w for Vinson Road. MR. BAKER stated the recommendation was not satisfactory to his client.. This property had just been annexed. The Maufrais Bros. had operated a concrete facility, and there are three structures being utilized by them at this time. The other tract if owned by MRS. RUTH TYSON, who had conducted a business on the corner tract for a number of years. The property in question is about 500' from land rezoned "B" 1st H&A for Somerset West Development Company, and Lumbermen's Investment Corp. The Maufrais tract adjoins the I & GN Railroad. Mrs. Tyson's tract is on the intersection of Stassney Lane and Vinson Road. The primary objection to "IR" as to "GR" is that Maufrais Bros. had entered into a contract for sale of the subject property to FOX & HEARNE, who want to continue using the existing structures and build on the front property facing Stassney Lane. The Building Official does not believe a building permit could be granted for an office building which would house a contracting organization under "IR" but one could be issued under "GR" -- therefore, his applicants need "GR". Mr. Hearne plans a brick or rock structure to be used only for office facilities. The tract will be fenced and beautified. Customer parking will be provided in front of the building. The second ofjection is the request for 30' of right of way off Stassney Lane. Mr. Baker stated he had filed the application offering dedication of 20' for this 27 January 8, 1970 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 1 C C C CCC C - widening, as this was the amount requested of Somerset West Development Co. His clients were shocked at the addition of 10' more. Mrs. Tyson has a further problem, where she is requested to dedicate 30' off of Stassney Lane, and 15' off of Vinson Road 12,000 square feet out of 72,000. She would ask consideration that the Council reduce her requirements on Vinson; and she is aware she must dedicate at least 20' on Stassney. As to the building permit for the office building, the City Attorney, Mr. Cortez, said the ordinance does not allow new construction on a non-conforming use; and since the office would be part of the existing use, the entire use of the property would be as one with the offices an ancillary use. Concerning the 30' right of way, Councilmen Price, Gage, and Atkison indicated they would not require that amount of right of way as it seemed unreasonable. Mr. Baker stated they were willing to dedicate the 20' and establishing a building line for additional right of way if neces- sary. Noting only six members of the Council were present, and it would take the six votes to override the recommendation of the Planning Commission, the Council deferred action until next week. Councilman Atkison emphasized his hopes that there would be no requests for 30' rights of way. The Planning Director reported the recommendation of the Planning Commission in all cases is for the provision of the additional right of way either by acqui- sition, purchase, or dedication, and this is left to the consideration of the Council. RIGHT OF WAY FOR MOPAC RIGHT OF WAY Upon the City Manager's recommendation, Councilman Johnson moved that the Council authorize the acquisition of the property at 2001 Sunset Avenue for the MoPac right of way. The motion, seconded by Councilman Janes, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Atkison, Gage, Janes, Johnson, Price, Mayor LaRue Noes: None Absent: Councilman MacCorkle REFUND CONTRACTS Mayor LaRue introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE DEPUTY CITY MANAGER, TO ENTER INTO A CERTAIN CONTRACT WITH LUMBERMENS INVESTMENT CORPORATION FOR THE APPROPRIATION OF MONEY PAID TO THE CITY OF AUSTIN UNDER SUCH CONTRACT; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.

Mr. Voudouris was interested in having ambulance service in his precinct. GROUP FROM ST. STEPHEN'S SCHOOL The Mayor and Council greeted a class from St. Stephen's School. i : REJECTION OF BIDS ON TRACTOR LOADER BACKHOES The City Manager asked the Purchasing Agent to give the facts on those that were being rejected. MR. F. D. GLENN reported bids were taken on different size tractors, one being a large 19' backhoe. It was decided this would not be needed at this time. He explained when it was decided the Department did not need the four backhoes, but only two, they could not use these bids as the trade-in value would not apply to just the two. He asked for rejection of these bids and permission to readvertise. Councilman Johnson moved that, upon the City Manager's recommendation, the Council reject the bids on the Tractor Loader Backhoes. seconded by Councilman Janes, carried by the following vote: The motion, : CCC C C 29 January 8, 1970 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Ayes: Councilmen Atkison, Gage, Janes, Johnson, Price, Mayor LaRue Noes: None Absent: Councilman MacCorkle REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF GRANT AUTHORITY FOR PLANNING AND DEVELOPING A COMPREHENSIVE CITY DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM UNDER DEMONSTRATION CITIES ACT OF 1966 Councilman Janes offered the following resolution and moved its adoption: (RESOLUTION) WHEREAS, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development of the United States of America (hereafter referred to as "Secretary") is authorized pursuant to Title I of the Demonstration Cities and Metropolitan Development Act of 1966, to contract with City Demonstration Agencies and to pay up to eighty (80) percent of the costs of planning and developing comprehensive city demonstration programs; and, WHEREAS, the City of Austin, Texas, has requested and contracted with the Secretary to plan and develop such a comprehensive city demonstration program; and, WHEREAS, primarily due to federal budgeting uncertainties, the said plan cannot be completed during the original grant authorization period (October 14, 1968 to January 15, 1970), however, same will be completed by April 30, 1970; and, WHEREAS, there are sufficient funds in the original grant authorization to finance continued planning through April 30, 1970; Now, Therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN: That the City Manager of the City of Austin, L.

FROM THE COUNCIL MEMBERS Covered Swimming Pool or Use of Artesian Water Councilman Gage reported having discussed the covering of a swimming pool or possibly putting heated water in the Stacey Pool, and asked about this information.
