- CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 54 MINUTES OF THE CITY COUNCIL CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Regular Meeting January 22, 1970 9:00 Α.Μ. COUNCIL CHAMBERS, CITY HALL The meeting was called to order with Mayor LaRue presiding. Roll Call: Present: Councilmen Atkison, Gage, Janes, Johnson, MacCorkle, Price, Mayor LaRue Absent: None The Invocation was delivered by REVEREND M. R. CLEARMAN of the Trinity Chapel Pentecostal Church. MAYOR'S PROCLAMATION - COMMISSION ON STATUS OF WOMEN Mayor LaRue read and presented to Mrs. Ada Anderson a proclamation establishing the Mayor's Commission on the Status of Women. The Mayor announced that the Charge to the Commission would be presented later in the week when Mrs. Koontz of the Department of Labor would speak. REPORT FROM NAVIGATION BOARD ON LOWERING OF LAKE AUSTIN Mayor LaRue read the report from the Navigation Board which met on January 19, 1970. The Board recommended that Lake Austin be lowered 12 feet beginning February 1, 1970, to be completely filled by March 1, 1970, for the following reasons: 1. Weed control 2. Cleanup 3. Beautification 4. Improvement of lake facilities. January 22, 1970 55 - CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS The Board further recommended that the Lake be lowered 12 feet each year beginning on December 15 and refilled by January 20. The Mayor then called upon the proponents and opponents regarding the lake lowering. The annual lowering was not to be discussed at that time. Proponents Mr. and Mrs. Marion Fowler, Mr. Harry Perlitz, Mr. Tom Taylor, Mr. Joe Hannan, Mr. Tom Green and Mrs. Tom McElhenny spoke in favor of lowering the lake. Mrs. McElhenny asked that the lake not be lowered during the Christimas holidays because of out of town visitors who would see the unsightly lake and the inability to get people to work at that time. She asked that the lake be lowered after January 1st. Mr. Ballard, a member of the Navigation Board, explained why the 12-foot lowering was recommended. He saw no objection to setting the lowering after January 1st. Opponents Mr. Jim Mayne of Boat Town, objected only to the time of lowering. He asked that the lowering be set after mid-February to give time to get the boats out. Mr. Tom Milne, representing the Association of Economic Graduate Students, stated that the City's paying for the lowering of the lake represented a reverse income redistribution and that it shocked his sense of equity. He felt that the poorer citizens of Austin should not have to pay for something that would benefit a handful of lakeowners. He requested that the Council not approve the petition for lowering Lake Travis (sic) at City expense. Mrs. Hargis, a lake property owner, felt that it was unnecessary to lower the lake each year. She stated that if each property owner worked at it, the duck weed could be controlled. After some discussion, Councilman Atkison moved the Council accept the recommendations of the Navigation Board, the time to begin February 10 for the lowering and that the lake to be refilled by March 10. The motion, seconded by Councilman Johnson, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Atkison, Johnson, MacCorkle, Mayor LaRue Noes: Councilmen Gage, Janes, Price HEARING ON TAX APPEALS Mayor LaRue opened the tax appeal hearing scheduled for 9:30 A.M.

Mr. Whittington presented exhibits which he argued showed inequities in assessments for similar usage within the general area of the subject properties. He felt that the City should attempt a more equal and uniform assessment hased upon the same uses of property within the four or five block area. He Mr. Klitgaard distributed a copy of a work map for the subject area. stated that the properties shown in green were the sales used to measure the value of the property in the area. In defending the Tax Department's assessment, he made the following points: 1. Changing the unit of valuation (from front foot to square foot) did not necessarily destroy equalization. 2. Property that lies across the street from other property does not necessarily have the same value. 3. Parking cars on the subject property does not set the highest and best use for the property. After an extended discussion of theory and practice of land valuation in downtown Austin, Mayor LaRue stated that the Council would want to look at the matter again before voting. The Council then recessed for lunch. RECESSED MEETING 1:00 Ρ.Μ.

He then took certain items individually and came back to discuss certain items collectively. He argued that his clients were entitled to fair, equal taxation among the properties within the area. He felt January 22, 1970 =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS that there were some inequities within the area and that those inequities should be adjusted so that a fair and equal tax basis existed on all properties within the area. He stated emphatically that none of the values set by the Tax Department were greater than the price paid by his clients for the property. He objected to the Tax Department's using front footage as a basis for valuing the subject property. Mr. Klitgaard defended the Tax Department's valuations by pointing out that nothing would be solved by going to a square foot unit basis of valuation. He stated also that some of the lots in question were more valuable assembled than not assembled (when compared to single lots with lower valuations). He used sales in the area to arrive at the valuations placed on the subject properties by the Tax Department. After extensive discussion among the Council, Councilman Janes moved the Council sustain the value set by the Board of Equalization as follows: H.H.

He then called upon Mr. Ben Tobias, Brackenridge Hospital Administrator, to give a short supplemental report on the change, how it could be effected, what would take care of the various patients and the problems that might be involved. January 22, 1970 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS i ! Mr. Tobias stated that the Administration of Brackenridge Hospital had recommended to the City Manager that Brackenridge East be closed by the end of the month. He explained the reasons for recommending the closing and how the hospital would be phased out. Dr. D.J. Sibley, a retired physician, asked if the City could somehow acquire the property for some future use, such as part of the Brackenridge Hospital System. Mayor LaRue stated that the County owned the property and in the past had not responded favorably when approached about making some disposition of the property favorable to the City. He thought Dr. Sibley's idea was a good one and en- couraged the doctor to present his idea to the County Commissioners on any Monday at the County Courthouse. After some discussion among the Council, Councilman Johnson moved the Council approve the City Manager's recommendation to close Brackenridge East as soon as possible. The motion, seconded by Councilman Gage, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Atkison, Gage, Janes, Johnson, MacCorkle, Price, Noes: None Mayor LaRue After the vote, Councilman Johnson asked that the record reflect that the Council had recognized the service of Dr. Robert Morrison, who had served the City of Austin and Brackenridge East or Brackenridge Annex, or in earlier years known as Travis County TB Hospital for 30 thirty years.

He pointed out that it actually was the County's obligation to secure the right of way. No action was taken at that time. RESETTLEMENT PROJECTS Mayor LaRue stated that he and the City Manager had just attended a conference in Fort Worth sponsored by the Department of Housing and Urbal Development (DHUD). He felt that at some future point a central housing and relocation office would be required to handle all of the various programs relating to housing (Model Cities, Urban Renewal, Neighborhood Development Program, Code Enforcement, etc.) and that the City Manager should look into the matter, subject to the Council's approval. The City Manager felt that it was an excellent idea, but pointed out that all of the rules of the various organizations involved would still have to be followed strictly. BOND ELECTION The City Manager called the Council's attention to the close timing involved regarding the upcoming bond election and that he, the Mayor, the Finance Director and the City's fiscal agent would soon be making a preliminary trip to New York to visit with several bond houses to let them know what the City's requirements would be.
