Nash-Phillips-Copus was developing the Cherry ! _CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS March 12, 1970. 274 Creek subdivision in southwest Austin. Section 5 of Cherry Creek abutted Stassney Lane on the south side, and NPC had already dedicated that part of Stassney Lane adjacent to Cherry Creek, Section 5, which was some 700' to 800' west of Manchaca Road. The Company wished to develop the Stassney Lane roadway from Manchaca Road over to that property. The Developer originally had proposed a plan to develop the street as a 44-foot roadway, but the Arterial Committee said that the particular street had been designated in the thoroughfare plan of the City as a divided roadway with medians down the middle. The problem centered around where cuts would be placed in the medians, or if medians should even be placed in the proposed street. After a lengthy discussion among the Council, the City Manager, the Traffic and Transportation Director and Mr. Williams, the City Manager recommended that no action be taken at this point, and the Council concurred.

March 12, 1970 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Councilman Price moved the Council recess until 2:00P.M. The motion, seconded by Councilman Gage, carried by the following vote: None Ayes: Councilmen Gage, Janes, MacCorkle, Price, Acting Mayor Atkison Noes: Absent: Mayor LaRue, Councilman Johnson CENTRAL TEXAS COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH PLANNING COMMISSION Acting Mayor Atkison called the afternoon meeting to order, noting that Councilman Johnson and Mayor LaRue were absent. He then turned the meeting over to Mr. Terrell Blodgett, Chairman, Central Texas Comprehensive Health Planning Commission. Mr. Blodgett introduced several memberss of the Commission and then discussed briefly the Hill-Burton application which Holy Cross Hospital had submitted to the Federal government. The application first had to be approved by the State Health Department after it had cleared an area-wide agency (Central Texas Comprehensive Health Planning Commission). The Commission was to meet on March 23, 1970, to pass on the application. Mr. Blodgett was not asking the Council to decide today whether to locate the radiation therapy facility at Holy Cross Hospital or Brackenridge Hospital. He had called the meeting as an information meeting. Mr. Blodgett then introduced Dr. Robert Morton, Assistant Director, M.D. Anderson Hospital at The University of Texas Branch in Houston. Dr. Morton discussed some of the radiation therapy facilities within the State and in Louisiana. He endorsed the recommendations of the Central Texas Comprehensive Health Planning Commission, which were: 1. The radiation therapy center should be a separate entity with adequate facilities for accommodating out-patients and be readily accessible to the facilities of the community general hospital. 2. The center must be available to all patients regardless of race, color, creed and ability to pay. 3. The center must operate on a medically open staff basis for professional services and must be a separate non-profit corporation with a Board of Directors representing all four major hospitals, plus the medical and business community of Austin and surrounding counties in the region. Dr. Morton stated that The University of Texas would work with and help the local groups who chose to associate with The University voluntarily. A group could withdraw at any time. The University was operating a computer which was doing dosimetry for radiologists throughout the State. The University had no control over local radiation therapy units. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS March 12, 1970 277 Dr. Morton discussed the various types of radiation generators and pointed out the distinction between a cobalt generator and a linear accelerator. The linear accelerator was part of the Hill-Burton application submitted by Holy Cross Hospital and would be used to complement their existing cobalt generator. Generally, the cobalt generator covered a larger skin area than the linear accelerator which could be concentrated onda smaller area and with deeper penetration. He felt that 85 per cent of the cancer patients could be treated with a cobalt generator, and also, that about 85 per cent of the patients were out-patients. Most centers operated on a five-day basis, Monday morning through Friday afternoon. The Council then heard from Dr. Atys Q. Da Silva, Chief of the Medical Staff, Brackenridge Hospital; Mr. Ben Tobias, Administrator, Brackenridge Hospitals Dr. Joe C. Rude and Dr. William L. De Ginder. Acting Mayor Atkison stated that the Council was convinced of the need for a linear accelerator in Austin. Speaking for himself, he hoped that the Commission at their next meeting would resolve the question of who might apply for the Hill-Burton grant and that it would either be in a hospital, adjacent to, or at least made available to the people of Austin.

The motion, seconded by Councilman Gage, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Gage, Janes, MacCorkle, Price, Acting Mayor Atkison Noes: None Absent: Councilman Johnson, Mayor LaRue The Council then adjourned.
