The City Manager, Mr. Lynn Andrews, noted that the Council had before it a final draft of Ordinance No. 691030-J, granting the Austin Transit Corporation a five-year franchise and including the recommended amendments. ( Mr. Doren Eskew, Counsel, distributed a sketch which pointed out the modifications for comparison in the three proposed ordinances: 1. The final draft of Ordinance No. 691030-J, dated January 8, 1970, 2. Austin Transit Corporation's original request dated September 11, 1969 3. The old franchise which expired in December, 1969. Mr. Eskew reviewed the proposed ordinance for the Council and answered questions from the Council about the ordinance. Mr. Frank Denius, representing Austin Transit Corporation, made the following statements: 1. Rate making was a legislative function and the Courts did not substitute their judgement for that of a City Council or a legislative body. 2. Regarding air pollution, in 1955 the Company used gasoline powered buses which created less fumes than diesel powered ones, but were more expensive to operate. The Council requested that no more gasoline powered vehicles be used and that the company change to diesel ones. Electric buses could be acquired if the City wanted them and would pay the price. 3. If because of non-regulated competition (the UT shuttle service operated by Transportation Enterprises, Inc.) Austin Transit sustains a revenue deficiency, an increase in rates or route adjustments will be required. Section 12 of the ordinance covered that problem, and Austin Transit regarded that section as very important and necessary. 4. The Company was prepared to file a map showing existing zones and to recognize that there would be no zone changes without the Council's prior approval. General discussion of bus services was held. Mayor LaRue noted that Federal funds were available for a survey to determine the mass transit needs in the City, and he felt certain that the Council would avail itself of those funds 45 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS- January 15, 1970 during the next five years. Councilman Gage noted that funds were available from the Federal government for demonstration programs and acts in which the City might avail itself. Mayor LaRue brought up the following ordinance as amended for its third reading: AN ORDINANCE GRANTING TO AUSTIN TRANSIT CORPORATION A FRANCHISE FOR FIVE (5) YEARS TO OPERATE AND MAINTAIN A MOTOR BUS SYSTEM FOR THE TRANSPORTATION OF PERSONS AND PROPERTY UPON THE PUBLIC STREETS AND HIGHWAYS OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS, PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE CONSTITUTION AND LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, THE CHARTER OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN, AND THE CODES AND ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN: The ordinance was read the third time and Councilman Gage moved that the ordinance be finally passed. The motion, seconded by Councilman Janes, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Noes: Absent: Councilmen Atkison, Gage, Janes, MacCorkle, Price, Mayor LaRue None Councilman Johnson The Mayor announced that the ordinance had been finally passed. RISERS FOR MUNICIPAL AUDITORIUM Mrs. Dick Reynolds, President of the Austin Arts Council, spoke to the Council about the need for new risers on the first floor of the Municipal Auditorium. She asked the Council to vote to replace the non-existent or unusable risers with new ones within the year. Risers would double the downstairs seating capacity and improve the acoustics at the same time. She then asked members of the Arts Council, Cultural Entertainment Committee, the Fine Arts Department of The University of Texas and any other interested people to stand to show that they were behind her. Mrs. Frederick Herrin, representing a fraternal organization of 130,000 members, stated that her organization hoped to hold its convention in Austin in 1971, but under its present condition the auditorium would not be a good arrangement for the convention. She asked that the Council consider installing the risers. Mayor LaRue stated that he would ask the City Manager to give a report on the matter when it was convenient.
